Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights will arrive physically and digitally in North America and Europe on Nintendo Switch™ in 2025, bringing fans in the West an all-new otome visual novel from director Ayumi Takagi (Hana Yaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku), main scenario writer Uta Amemiya (Charade Maniacs), and character designer Nitaka (Touken Ranbu).
The story follows Cecilia Farias Temirana, the third princess of Temirana, as she navigates her reputation as part of the royal family alongside her newly recruited royal guard made up of the 5 Tragic Knights. With up to 5 romanceable characters, take part in a world where luck meets tragedy and curses become blessings.
I’ll also let you in on a secret (not really) – there’s also a secret LI!
I wrote a spotlight article on this game, click here to read.
This game’s also got the most beautiful graphics. The background is animated, adding a layer of immersive experience (in my experience, at least). It’s more story heavy and innocent romance type of otome, so if that’s your thing, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. I personally think it’s not talked about enough!
Read more information about the game below, as per IFI’s press release.
✤ OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
In this world, one’s status and occupation are determined by the month they were born. About 15 years ago in the eastern kingdom of Temirana, the third princess was born: a baby with a birthmark on her forehead. This child was rumored to be the “Cursed Princess,” and was forced to live in a house far from her family, away from the castle.
But things are about to change.
As her 16th birthday approaches, she attends the dueling tournament known as Helis Duelm. There, she sees five men glowing with a dazzlingly strong light.
Indeed, the “Cursed Princess” possessed a special and lucky power. Whenever her life might be in danger, people and places would shine as if to warn her.
Those acquainted with her power warn that those men may have shone because they were dangerous…but she knows their light is different from any she’s seen before. Trusting her intuition, the princess invites the five men to join her order of knights. However, some of them have no experience with the sword, and others lack interest in knighthood at all.
Can the princess and her small company of five knights overcome the tragedy on the horizon?
