Last year, the reveal of the dating sim spin-off 'Pal♡World! ~More Than Just Pals~' (hereinafter 'More Than Pals') on Steam left many gamers in shock. What was initially expected to be nothing more than an April Fools' joke has now been confirmed to be in active development, leaving many users in a state of panic.

'More Than Pals' tells the story of school life with cute Pals under the legendary World Tree. Although it was initially scheduled for release on April 1, 2025, it did not launch, leading many to assume it was an April Fools' prank. However, a year later, a new trailer has been released, drawing attention once again.

Players take on the role of a transfer student at the prestigious 'Palpagos Private Academy,' where they interact with various Pal students and characters. However, this latest video highlights darker elements, such as bizarre glitches that occur after discovering a mysterious Pal Sphere.

Furthermore, the appearance of a suspicious figure in a hooded jacket suggests the inclusion of psychological horror elements. According to the description in the new trailer, the game also features mystery and 'time-loop' elements.

Meanwhile, the developer, Pocketpair, left a message at the end of the new trailer stating, "It’s real," confirming that the game is currently in development and will be released in the future.

A release date for 'More Than Pals' will be announced soon, and the game will not support official Korean language.
