"Rance is one of the oldest and most well-known visual novel franchises out there. Despite this, the series has gone on for almost 30 years without an official western release. And while there were periodic fan translations here and there, the franchise never took off because of this.

Rance...
Wait, isn't that the name of a lewd anime? WTF, they actually got clearance to make a game of it that isn't an adult visual novel?XD
Edit: Okay, so apparently that is a visual novel they've made.
Still, caught me off-guard to see an article about this sort of game on N4G.XD
