Sanposhin and
Kurondo—that had been unavailable for a long period due to account issues with their original distributor. To the delight of fans, these titles have returned with updated versions, bringing along improved functionalities and optimizations.
Revived Classics and New Releases
1. Sanposhin: A Walk with Divine Inspiration
This title offers over 1,900 unique combinations of prompts that make each user’s walk an extraordinary experience. As a beloved analog game,

Backstory on the Revival
The previous versions of
Sanposhin and
Kurondo once achieved number one status in their respective paid app categories on the App Store, making them sought-after titles among gaming enthusiasts. Yet, due to issues with the original account associated with their distribution, these experiences had been inaccessible for all previous buyers. The collaboration between Drosselmeyer Shokai and Qdan was born out of the necessity to overcome these challenges and bring these beloved games back into the spotlight.
Main Enhancements in New Versions
While maintaining the essence of the original titles, the new versions include substantial improvements:
- - Enhanced play history features
- - Increased number of available prompts
- - Optimized display adaptation for various screen sizes, including tablets
- - Stable operation with the removal of image and audio recording functionalities
Special Transitional Offers
To ensure that existing users won’t have to repurchase titles they already own, both
Sanposhin and
Kurondo (iOS) will be available for free for the first month following the launch. This means players who download them during this period can continue enjoying them without additional costs. However,
Kurondo (Android) along with the two new titles will be priced at 330 yen, respectively, from the start.
