PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya, said that actually, the game’s purpose is to solve Japan’s low birthrate problem: Like a scene out of Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder’s Comedy Central show, Nathan For You, Kamiya, made a flowchart of a Twitter post detailing how, in his mind, the release of Cereza would lead to a baby boom among players. It should be noted that this post was made the day Cereza was released on the Nintendo Switch. Translated via Google, Kamiya’s PSYOP in full:

• Play ‘Cereza and the Lost Demon’ ↓
• I want a child like Cereza ↓
• An unprecedented marriage boom is coming ↓
• The problem of declining birth rate will be solved ↓
• Everyone happy

Should Cereza and the Lost Demon fail in sparking a boom in Japanese marriages and babies, there will be other opportunities to inception the idea of conception among “Bayonutters” because PlatinumGames wants to turn the Cereza platform-puzzle game into its own series.

Might also lead to an explosion in cat adoption. Cheshire has been the star so far . I'm at 50% in the game.

Kamiya you fucking nut.

Of course Kotaku would take this seriously.

God I love Kamiya.

Kamiya out here telling people his fans are voluntarily not participating in the baby making process.

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Everyone happy? Have you talked to nursery school teachers once?

 

[AlteredForms]

This is something that has always puzzled me about Japanese men. Yes, I'm aware it's not enjoyable fucking the twigs that are your women, but surely they're a better choice than marrying an anime character right? Tams what say you?

 

[Madflavor]

That's one of the funniest things I've heard a dev say.

 

[Fake]

 

[SmokedMeat]

Is he saying that performance will be so shitty, you’ll shut the Switch off and just go to bed with the wife?

 

[01011001]

"finish the game, then finish inside!"

 

[Lokaum D+]

he must be one of the cringiest dev out there

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Someone pull out the 13tb document on Era Microagressions quick and let's figure out how many degrees of separation this is from literal rape.

Not a Japanese man, so I can't really say.

Can't complain much about my time with Japanese ladies. If anything, they almost always care about their appearance in public, so you pretty much never see them out dressed like a tramp.

You're a woman? That's surprising to hear as you're always liking my explicit posts. And why would they glam themselves up when nobody is hitting on them?

You came to a fork in the road. Not Japanese or Not a Man...... I think you took the wrong path

 

[Yoboman]

Too late I'm already going to Japan next week

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Of course Kotaku would take this seriously.

They do it disingenuously. They attempt to act intelligently and aloof. It's a balancing act for them, and outlets like them.

No, I'm a non-Japanese man.

Not sure how you got the idea I was Japanese.

 

[names are for friends]

I love Kamiya

My opinion on the prequel.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

1. Japanese men work long hours, they come home at 10-11am.
2. There are no childcare facilities since a woman is expected to become a housewife, except now men don’t earn enough to support a family on one salary = no kids.

It’s not a difficult situation, but the Japanese will just bow and do nothing.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Shame it can't lead to them making a good games

 

[AlteredForms]

No, I'm a non-Japanese man.

I want to give this woman babies now, too.

Kamiya's conditioning is already working.

Played the demo last night and there's definitely a parent/child dynamic where Cereza is unhappy about being taught lessons but then realizes "it's for her own good" which had my eyes rolling, lol. Wasn't all that excited to even play the demo but it's actually much better than expected.

Shirosaki Aoi....!!

Gaf, has got some pretty refined taste, I gotta say.

Older women will solve the problem? Not with my sister is so cute being force fed 24x7
