Novect (stylized as NOVECT; formerly Novectacle) is a Japanese independent video game studio best known for developing the visual novel The House in Fata Morgana and its related spin-offs. The studio is headed by writer Keika Hanada.[1]
History
[edit]Novectacle was founded in 2010.[1] According to studio head Keika Hanada, the group's original members met through an online Play by Web role-playing community. The members had different creative specialties, including writing, illustration, music, and singing, and decided to form a team and develop a game together.[2]
The studio began development of The House in Fata Morgana before releasing an early version of the game at the end of 2010.[2] The completed game was released for Windows in Japan in December 2012 and was later released in English by MangaGamer in May 2016.[3]
Around 2022, the studio rebranded from Novectacle to Novect.[1] In 2025, the studio announced that cumulative sales of the Fata Morgana series had surpassed 300,000 copies, and that its next title, under the working name Project Code M, was in development, with Aksys Games set to publish the North American console release.[4]
