Felicity’s Door/Project Dreamwalker (Lost anime rhythm game)

Hi everyone! I posted this on discord but I thought I should try here too. I created a page for it on the lost media wiki but it got deleted because I got recommended that I should post it in the forums instead. I posted this on reddit a while ago in hopes of finding some links. I tried searching for this game for a while now and it’s lead me to a dead end. It’s a game called Felicity’s Door but it’s also know as Project Dreamwalker. It’s an anime rhythm game with (I assume) some sort of story element. I got the flyer for the game at a anime convention called SMASH! in 2015 in a purple show bag that contained other flyers. There’s not a lot of information about it online sadly. There’s a abandoned Facebook page, a twitter, and a website that doesn’t really exist anymore. I’ve used the way back machine for the site and all you get is the copyright information. I will link them at the bottom of the thread. This was going to be a game for IOS and Android.


In my searches I do recall finding a screenshot from another app advertising the game on a digital billboard. Idk what the app was. Maybe LINE? Maybe some sort of virtual world? I don’t know. I don’t really remember what it looked like but they used the same picture as the one in the program.

Who’s the best person for lost media like this and does anyone know someone that can help? Here’s the post I made. It was from a while ago so keep that in mind. I still have the program for the con. It was mentioned in the program of the con that there was going to be a demo at the gaming hall. I didn’t get to play it but I found someone who went to the con asking about the same game. The person I got into contact with said they didn’t get to play the demo there either. What bothers me is why would they go out of their to promote the game like this only to just cancel it? If you want some more info, I did create this on the lost media subreddit.

The person I got into contact with deleted their reddit along with the image of the flyer. However I found my one plus a few other things.


This is the flyer for Felicity’s Door:




This is the front cover of the program:



Here’s an article of it in the program:

And now introducing.. the worlds saddest show bag (plus some of the other flyers). This was the show bag the flyer came in:












Here’s the Facebook and Twitter page:

This is the website but all you can see is the copyright:

I contacted someone who worked on the game. His name is Hiroaki Yura and he’s a violinist and a game dev for Felicity’s Door. I messaged him on Instagram but I’ve got nothing back so far. A person on the lost media discord (Shout out to hugo. on discord!) has also tried to contact someone else who’s been involved with it on Instagram. I don’t know if he’s contacting the same person as me but let’s hope we get some answers. I’m pretty new to this stuff so please let me know if I need to change anything. 


Thank you!

Update: I still haven’t received a reply from Hiroaki Yura on Instagram. I’m still going to remain hopeful but I guess we will just wait and see. If I don’t get a answer, I might try to contact Tomoki Miyoshi. He also played a part in making some of the music according to his personal website here.

Shout out to reddit user realnoyb for finding that one. 

You can find the other reddit post here:

 www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/comments/effgpi/hmf_this_game_i_found_this_little_poster_in_my/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_title

This was by the person I made contact with on reddit. In fact, this post was how I found them in the first place. I mentioned this in my old reddit post but I thought I would put it here.

Update 2: 


I sent a message to Tomoki via his website just incase. I don’t think I will get a response but let’s just see how things go. 

Update 3:


It’s only a small update but I put the razest website into the way back machine (a company that was involved with Felicity’s Door) and there was a link to the website on their GAMES tab. Thankfully some of it was in English so I was able to understand some of it. Just thought I would share this with you all. Sadly I still don’t have a response from both those people so only time will tell when they will respond.

I also found creative intelligence arts inc. website. However it’s all in Japanese so I don’t know what it says. I tried putting it through the way back machine around the 2015/2016 mark but it only comes up with this. Very strange..

The actual website is still up if you want to look at it.

edit: CIA (Or creative intelligence arts inc. as they are know for) are the people behind Project Phoenix who I assume are by the same people as this game, just under a different company. It’s odd how both names (creative arts intelligence inc. and creative intelligence art inc.) are really similar names to each other. 
 
I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. This is the best I can do. Fingers crossed we get an answer from those guys.

Update 4:

Holy crap! Why didn’t I check out the home page before?? It’s literally right there!

web.archive.org/web/20160319013918/https://razest.co.jp/


It takes you to the website like the link in the games section. Just incase that image gets lost to time, I decided to save it.




I’m starting to think that the digital billboard thing I mentioned might actually be from this site. Idk for sure but they used this exact image. Sadly, I still have nothing from both of those people. 

Update 5:

I haven’t got a reply from the those guys yet. I have a feeling they won’t reply. It’s been days since I sent those messages. The person hugo. on discord sent the Instagram message to Hiroaki Yura and a few days ago they told me that they didn’t get a response either. 

Update 6:


I forgot I made a newer version of the reddit post on r/lostmedia. I wanted to try and get it out there but I didn’t remember I posted about it again in the subreddit until I got a notification for it. So yeah. Here’s the link to that. You might want to copy and paste in since it you can’t actually click it for some reason. Lol.

If anyone and I mean anyone has any information about this game or it’s demo, then please message me.
I really want this game to be found. Thank you to all the people who’ve helped with my search so far. 

Update 7:

I got in contact with someone from unseen 64. They said they will try and look some more information about this game. Weirdly enough, this person had never heard of this game before but they were pretty willing to help. Unfortunately, I still have nothing from both developers of the game yet. I have no idea where I should go with this search. 


Update 8:

I found a article that features one of the people but sadly it mentions nothing about project Dreamwalker but it mentions his involvement in Project Phoenix as seen in this article here.

www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-08-07/smash-2015-on-this-weekend-in-sydney/.91366



I have a feeling my search has gone to a dead end. 

Update 9:


I found another article that mentions the gaming hall of SMASH! 2015. There is an ad for the convention and it briefly shows the gaming hall however, I wasn’t able to see anything related to Project Dreamwalker. It does however mention Project Phoenix. 


This is the article link here:

ctrlgeekpod.com/2015/08/05/geek-it-spotlight-smash-sydney-manga-and-anime-show-2015/



And this is the YouTube video. If anyone knows how I can archive this then please let me know.




Here is a screenshot from the article that mentions Project Phoenix!



Here’s another article. It shows some photos from the convention.

Update 10:


I’m happy to announce that Felicity's Door has been taken under by a new company called AREA 35! Shout out to barca026 for finding this out! I’m so hyped for this you have no idea! Fingers crossed it doesn’t get canceled. They say it will come out sometime around 2023 and if it does, I will probably be the first to download it on my switch. Sure it wasn’t what I was expecting but I’m more then happy with this find. I still wonder about the 2015 demo. Maybe it will become one of those lost beta test demos. Who knows! I did find the trailer for the game plus a demo video which I will link here:




Thank you so so much to the people who have helped me along the way! It’s been a wild ride so far but I’ve enjoyed every last bit of it. It really made me feel like a detective! Hope to play this game soon!

Update 11:

Remember how the game play video for project Phoenix got taken down? Guess what I found! They have a whole youtube channel so maybe we should check it out!


heres the actual game play video! I will record those two as well!



I created an Internet archive account as well. Once I figure out how to make my own archive, I will upload the program, the games flyer plus all the flyers the show bag came with. If any of you have any tips for the Internet archive then please let me know. Thank you!

(Whoops! Looks like the actual videos haven’t shown up on this page. Incase they still don’t work, here are the links!

Update 12


Update time! So basically, the gameplay demo video got privated on youtube. I got the video recorded before they took it down. However the only issue is that this was taken with the use of the iPads built in screen record feature. I had been meaning to take a more higher quality version of the video with OBS or using a YouTube video downloaded but I was too late. Good news however is that... It’s currently being uploaded to the Internet archive! I honestly don’t know if it will work or not but see how it goes. Hope to get more footage of this games existence soon. I will try my best to figure out how to upload books to the archive but fingers crossed this upload works!

My biggest worry is that it’s been stuck at 0% for a while.

mini update

It’s been at 0% for a while. I assume there’s a lot of people using it right now. I will update you as soon as I can. 

Edit: it’s slow at the moment and it’s taking a while to upload anything. I will try again in the morning. But hey! It was worth a try.
