Seedsow Lullaby emerges as a groundbreaking time-twisting visual novel set to challenge the norms of the genre upon its release on May 1st for iOS and Android. The mobile gaming sphere has often overlooked visual novels, perhaps due to a bias from Western gamers or a lack of publisher interest in a genre typically associated with PCs. However, Seedsow Lullaby aims to break this mold with its unique narrative.

At first glance, Seedsow Lullaby might seem perplexing as it markets itself as a visual novel devoid of choices or branching paths, which are hallmarks of the genre. Yet, its captivating premise could well compensate for this absence. The story revolves around high schooler Misuzu, who lost her mother at a young age. On her sixteenth birthday, she encounters a younger version of her deceased mother, also sixteen, who recruits her for the Seedsow Ceremony—a ritual to usher in the rebirth of the gods. Adding to the complexity, Misuzu must also collaborate with her future daughter to navigate a mythical landscape and complete their mission.

Time travel is no stranger to visual novels, with iconic titles like Steins;Gate setting benchmarks with their use of alternative timelines and branching narratives. Seedsow Lullaby, however, takes a more linear approach to the concept. While this might deter some fans of the genre, the exploration of life, death, and the inevitability of the future promises a compelling narrative.
