A teaser website called "Trust the Ministry" was launched by Japanese digital distribution channel Playism today. With a countdown timer ending in three days, the project presumably involves Astro Boy and Black Jack, two of Osamu Tezuka's most famous characters.

Staff working on the game includes CyberConnect2 President Hiroshi Matsuyama, Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda and Akira Yamaoka, and Suda 51. Well known Gantz mangaka Hiroya Oku will also be involved in the project.

Launched in May 2011, Playism focuses on attracting indie developers to its PC platform by offering services like debugging, localization, marketing, and publishing to its clients. It has distributed some of its titles on popular services like Steam, GOG, PlayStation Store, Google Play and iOS, indicating that this game may find its way to the West at some point.
