Holiday romance visual novel Merry Crisis is set to launch on Steam on December 9, 2026. Developed as a cozy, character-driven romance visual novel, Merry Crisis follows a protagonist returning home to Singapore for Christmas, after leaving their former life behind to pursue a new beginning in New York.
During their stay, players will reconnect with an estranged first love, encounter an attractive musician living next door, and potentially work things out with an ex. These relationships shape the protagonist’s journey through the holiday season, leading to a major decision by New Year’s Eve: rebuild their life in New York or return to the world they once left behind in Singapore.
Merry Crisis was recently named as a Top 40 Finalist at the 2026 SEA Game Awards. The game was also featured in the Dames 4 Games Spring Showcase and Southeast Asian Games Showcase, and previously made its first physical showcase appearance at Indie Jam in April 2026.
Merry Crisis launches on December 9, 2026, on PC via Steam.
