Yumekuro, the Japanese otome game officially known as The Dream Craftsman and the Forgotten Black Fairy, has announced its end of service, effective November 19, 2024. The game’s developer issued a heartfelt message to players, sharing their gratitude and outlining plans for an offline version after the service concludes.
Official Announcement from the Producer
In a formal message, the producer addressed players, affectionately referred to as “Guild Keepers,” thanking them for their ongoing support over the years. The decision to end service was described as a difficult one, as the team had explored numerous ways to continue offering content that would satisfy its loyal audience. However, they ultimately concluded that this goal was no longer achievable.
A Farewell Message from the Development Team
The producer expressed deep regret and acknowledged the disappointment felt by both the development team and the fans. The message highlighted the team’s original vision to maintain the game for five to ten years, creating lasting memories in a dream-like world with its players. Unfortunately, due to internal challenges, this goal could not be fully realized. However, the message noted that the development team cherished the positive feedback they received from fans on social media, live broadcasts, and offline events.
“It is a miracle that I have been able to meet all of you through this work,” the producer stated, emphasizing the special bond created between the game and its community over its two and a half years of service.
Transition to Offline Mode
Despite the game’s upcoming closure, the development team has confirmed plans to release an offline version. This version will allow players to enjoy the illustrations and stories they have collected over time, preserving their favorite moments and characters even after the game shuts down.
The producer also mentioned that they are exploring ways to bring the main story, which remains incomplete, to players in some form. Although no definitive plans have been announced, players are encouraged to remain patient as the team works on potential solutions.
Future Developments Beyond the App
While the end of service for the app marks a significant transition, the team hinted at future developments that may extend beyond the app itself. “We hope that the time you spent with the Meisters and Black Fairies will become irreplaceable memories,” the producer stated, suggesting that the world of The Dream Craftsman and the Forgotten Black Fairy may continue in other formats or media.
Key Dates and Next Steps
- End of Service Date: November 19, 2024, at 12:00 PM (Japan Standard Time).
- Offline Mode: Details about the offline version will be provided in future announcements. Players will be able to enjoy the illustrations and stories collected during the game’s service.

The discontinuation of Yumekuro marks the end of an era for its dedicated player base, but the forthcoming offline mode offers a way to preserve cherished memories.
