History

AstralShiftPro began as a small endeavor in 2016, with the release of a free RPG Maker game called Pocket Mirror.[6] In 2021, the studio announced it would be partnering up with then-RPG Maker publisher KOMODO (formerly Degica Games[7]) to release a remastered version of the title under the name Pocket Mirror ~ GoldenerTraum. The game was released for Microsoft Windows and MacOS on May 19, 2023.[8]

In August 2022 Square Enix announced they'd be publishing Little Goody Two Shoes, a prequel to Pocket Mirror ~ GoldenerTraum, under their indie publishing division Square Enix Collective.[9] Little Goody Two Shoes was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch on October 31, 2023.[10] The game garnered critical and public acclaim, with a score of 84 on Metacritic.[11] Little Goody Two Shoes' distinctive art style, which uses a combination of traditional and digital art techniques,[12] earned it a spot as a finalist for Excellence in Visual Arts at the 2024 edition of the Independent Games Festival Awards.[13] The game was also nominated for Outstanding Video Game at the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards,[14] though it did not win.
