RENSA: Another UNRELEASED game found!

WHAT THE HECK is up with all these unreleased games??? Seriously..?
Same exact guy/twitter account who was in possession of the recently reported Monica’s Castle has also posted a video showing off a release candidate (v1.00) of RENSA (Love Chain), a puzzle/dating sim by obscure Japanese developer, Signal Light, Corp.
*(Not to be confused with Tenchi Muyou Rensa, a completely different game…)

The above tweet translates as follows:

“This is a CDR.
It was written on the label as ver.1.00, and I was able to play until it was cleared, but honestly it was not interesting so I think it was not released…”

Japanese developer “Signal Light, Corp.“ later became “Starlight Marry Corporation” in March 1996, and was based in Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa-ken, Japan. Most of the original staff came from Arc System Works, where they had worked on Wizard’s Harmony and Zork I. They also had a publishing arm called Media Works.
Signal Light’s company motto was: “It’s blue, let’s go!”, referring to the blue traffic lights in Japan.
