existent

Existent is a Linux and PC title that launched in November 2022. The game has recently drawn attention as part of a broader Kodansha initiative exploring how anime opening sequences - particularly for fictional or non-existent series - might serve as springboards for developing original intellectual properties across multiple media formats. The publisher's approach suggests interest in reverse-engineering creative IP development by starting with compelling visual and musical hook material, then expanding successful concepts into anime, manga, novels, and other adaptations based on fan reception.
