Diss Diss Discussion Visual Novel Gets Steam Demo Ahead of 2027 Release

Frontwing and Bushiroad have released a free demo for Diss Diss Discussion, an upcoming coming-of-age visual novel currently in development. The title is scheduled for release in early 2027 on Windows via Steam, DMM Games, and DLsite, as well as on the Nintendo Switch platform. This newly available demo allows players to experience an early portion of the full game before its official launch.
The narrative unfolds at Kohnodai Academy, an institution that emphasizes student self-governance and autonomy. Players engage with an ensemble cast of opinionated students who debate and vote on various school policies. The story begins when Student Council President Risa Sakurai proposes making uniforms optional, sparking immediate opposition from Vice President Ryo Hiyama. Other characters, including Secretary Hasumi Ai, navigate their own interpersonal dramas and hidden emotions while participating in these heated discussions.
The game features character designs by Takuya Fujima and music composed by Anze Hijiri. Its plot is adapted from stage plays written by Japanese playwright Yu Tomisaka. Players make choices that influence relationships, school outcomes, and multiple endings.
