The soundtrack for "Absented Age: Squarebound" also released on Steam today. However, it's only available for the 2020 release and not the international release.

"Absented Age: Squarebound" originally released in October 2020 in Japanese.

Each release has a demo to try out for free.


Terunon's Lab, known as terunon outside of their Steam developer name, is an indie developer who has worked on multiple games according to their Twitter bio. Terunon is currently working on a sequel to "Absented Age" titled "Chapter of Yorishiro."


"Chapter of Yorishiro" may go under a different name if/when an international version is released like "Absented Age: Squarebound." The Japanese title for "Absented Age" is "Absented Age - A roguelike action SRPG for ghost girls" when translated.

The international version of "Absented Age: Squarebound" is a part of the Indie Live Expo Winter 2021 Sale.
