Hyakume no Hanamie announces its main cast
Mitsuki Saiga joins the announced cast for Kanmidoko and Libero Engineer’s supernatural otome adventure, due on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2026.
Hyakume no Hanamie has announced its main voice cast, including Mitsuki Saiga as one of the women who can become a romance target. The adventure game is being developed by creator unit Kanmidoko and Libero Engineer for PC and Nintendo Switch.1
A village that should not exist
Known in Japanese as Hyakume no Hanamie (百目ノ花贄), the game combines an otherworldly folk-horror mystery with an otome romance. Its protagonist, Himari Mikanagi, receives a letter on her 20th birthday inviting her to an adult ceremony in the village where she was born.12
There is an obvious problem: Himari’s village was supposedly buried by a volcanic eruption when she was a child. The story begins when she travels towards the “village that should not exist” despite knowing that she should stay away.2
The cast announcement
Saiga will voice one of the game’s female romance options. The announcement confirms that women are included among the characters Himari can pursue, adding a broader range of relationships to a game already pitching itself as both a romance and a supernatural village tale.1
The official website currently presents a wider cast around Himari, including characters from the Kazuki, Kaname and Hisaizu families. The site’s character pages and promotional artwork frame the game around a large ensemble rather than a single central love interest.2
Platforms and release window
Hyakume no Hanamie is in development for PC and Nintendo Switch. Its current listing gives a 2026 release window, but no exact date or price has been announced.1
The game’s official website is also carrying updates about its cast and character pages, while the Steam listing was published earlier in 2026. That leaves plenty of room for the developers to reveal more routes, systems and launch details before release.2
Our opinion
The strongest part of Hyakume no Hanamie is the clean contradiction at the heart of its setup: a birthday invitation sends the heroine towards a village that was supposed to have vanished. That is a better hook than generic haunted-romance language because it gives the mystery a specific question from the first scene. The cast announcement matters because the game’s unusual village premise will need equally distinct characters to keep the romance from feeling bolted on. Saiga’s casting is a promising sign, but the routes and tone will decide whether the blend of horror, folklore and otome drama really holds together.
For now, the game remains set for release in 2026 on PC and Nintendo Switch, with more cast details likely to follow.
