About Maitetsu
Maitetsu follows Migita Sotetsu as he returns to his hometown of Ohitoyo to oppose a proposed industrial factory that could pollute the local river. He seeks a fiscally independent solution and discovers an android‑like Raillord named Hachiroku, forming a partnership that drives their joint effort to revive the town.
The title is fully voiced in Japanese and offers dual‑language support, animated sprites, and a scene‑select feature. A gallery provides character poses, in‑game music, CG artwork, and scene viewing, while Steam integration adds achievements, cloud saves, and Family Sharing.
