Legend of the Redcap will be available in English on the Apple

Legend of the Redcap delivers a wonderful, nostalgic experience
on the mobile platform.
In Egglia: Legend of the Redcap, players follow the story of a
gentle elf named Chabo who mysteriously falls from the sky and
arrives on the continent of Egglia. Players will uncover the
mystery of Chabo and Egglia as they explore and uncover new
areas of the world sealed away within eggs. Players will develop
the world of Egglia through building houses, summoning spirits,
warding off monsters and forming alliances with other races.
Once all of Egglia has been restored, players can continuously
explore and build throughout the world and new episodes are
planned for future release.
“I believe some people prefer their games to be less violent,
especially here in Japan,” said Egglia creator and art director
Shinichi Kameoka. “I hope Egglia can become a refuge for those
who seek a more peaceful kind of game.”
