(Usual apoligies for the machine translation link, but again--no English source was available at post time.)

I know very little about these games! I did find a video explaining Ilbero Swamp (bad audio warning for the first 12 minutes or so): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTSj5pQDWCU

Meanwhile, Karous Beast of Re:Eden was actually released in the West on the Nintendo 3DS of all things. Nintendo Life even has a review of it: https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds-eshop/karous_-the_beast_of_reeden-

I think these games qualify as somewhat obscure in the English-speaking world, so it's exciting to see them come to Steam. Hopefully they'll get their day in the sun!
