Idea Factory has announced the launch of IFChronicle, a new visual novel brand, along with the crime suspense adventure game ICONOLOGY for Nintendo Switch and PC.

IFChronicle represents the publisher's expansion into the visual novel space. The brand will serve as an umbrella for story-driven titles focused on mystery and suspense narratives.

ICONOLOGY is the first title under the IFChronicle banner. The game is described as a crime suspense adventure, positioning it as a narrative-focused experience for players interested in investigative storytelling.

Both Switch and PC platforms will receive the title, allowing players across Nintendo's hybrid console and computer systems to access the game. Specific release dates and pricing have not been detailed in the announcement.

This move follows Idea Factory's broader strategy of diversifying its portfolio beyond its established franchises. The publisher continues to explore new genres and narrative styles to reach different player audiences.
