    Recap:

    Magic Castle is an unreleased PS Net Yaroze game developed in Japan


    between 1997 and 1998. The development team, Kaiga, reached an
    agreement with a video game company for its distribution, but despite their
    efforts and hard work, the project was cancelled and shelved for more than
    20 years.

    The source and assets were believed to be lost. However, early in 2020 they
    were found in an old floppy disk allowing development to resume with the
    help of other Net Yaroze enthusiasts. People from all around the world
    could play it for the first time ever in December 2020.
