Comment of the game producer

We all feel honored that the "Soriti horse" was elected for the Special Award.

At the same time, I think that it might be a mistake. Shock would be too much if it's wrong, so I was trying not to take it seriously as much as possible until the awards ceremony.

This work was made so as to be packed with ideas for trial and error under limited period and personnel, with various constraints, and enjoy to everyone of the players, what is wanted by the creators.

Still, it's a rough work with many ideas left unrealized.

However, we could win such an honorable award is up to every player of the game to be interested in this mysterious game and to cheer to say it’s interesting, with efforts of the development and public relations teams off course.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved in "Soriti horse".
Thank you all!
