Rance 01: The Quest for Hikari


 * This article is for the 2013 remake. For the 1989 original, see Rance 1. 

Overview
This game is a remake of the 1989 classic, the first Rance game ever made 24 years ago. The gameplay system, graphics and everything else will be revamped (on a much larger scale than they were for Rance 02) and will be a product by itself rather than being a part of a compilation such as Alice's Cottage. Just like the original though, the game will heavily feature classic ADV-like interaction with the environment and characters (look, touch etc.) and is likely to be 8-10 hours in length.


 * According to AliceSoft, only one batch of DVDs will be produced and selling of boxed edition will be discontinued thereafter once stocks are exhausted. The DL version however will be on sale indefinitely.
 * The boxed edition can be considered something of a "limited edition" from a collector's point of view due to its limited availability, and some exclusive goods like a hint booklet and game cards will come with it.
