TYPE-MOON, known for the acclaimed game app “Fate/Grand Order” and the epic visual novel “Tsukihime“, is publishing the visual novel “Witch on the Holy Night“, first released in 2012 as a PC version, on Steam. Discover a young adult’s story, set in the dynamic, fast-paced 80s, following an innocent young man and two young “witches”.
The film is described as follows:
Aoko Aozaki, an ordinary high school girl, is actually a Magician who lives in the modern world…though she is still only an apprentice. As she spends her days living alongside her housemate, Alice Kuonji, striving to become a full-fledged Magician…
The girl meets a boy.
This is the beginning of one young girl’s story — the tale of a Witch.
