drmono

Keji Inafune has announced his first game since leaving Capcom, and it’s called The Island of Dr. Momo. The game was announced during a press conference held by GREE, Index, Atlus’ parent company and Inafune’s Comcept. The Island of Dr. Momo is a social game for GREE mobile’s social gaming service. You play as mad scientist who loves cute things, and so you combine critters together to “make the world’s cutest thing.” The game will be playable on iOS and Android devices this fall, and will make use of microtransactions like most GREE games. Thanks, Andriasang.
