Utawarerumono (Japanese: うたわれるもの) is a Japanese adult tactical role-playing visual novel developed by Leaf, which released in April 2002 for Microsoft Windows. It was ported to the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. In releases subsequent to the initial 2002 version, it is known by its more specific title Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen (うたわれるもの 散りゆく者への子守唄, Utawarerumono: Chiriyuku Mono e no Komoriuta).

The game was highly successful in Japan[1][2] and has since been adapted into a wide variety of other media, including several anime series, drama CDs, and Internet radio programs, and manga.

A sequel for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita titled Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception was released in Japan in September 2015, and worldwide in May 2017.[3][4] The final chapter of the trilogy, titled Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth, was released in Japan in September 2016, and worldwide a year later.[3] These second and third games were ported to Microsoft Windows in January 2020,[5] and a PC port of the remake of the first followed in January 2021.[6]

A spin-off hack and slash game developed by Tamsoft titled Utawarerumono: Zan, based on the events from Mask of Deception, was released in Japan in September 2018 for the PlayStation 4, and worldwide in September 2019.[7][8] A sequel titled Utawarerumono: Zan 2 covering the events from Mask of Truth was released in Japan in July 2021 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.[9] A free-to-play mobile game developed by Tose, titled Utawarerumono: Lost Flag, was released in November 2019 in Japan for iOS and Android, incorporating elements from throughout the franchise.[10] A new game commemorating the 20th anniversary of the series titled Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten was released in Japan for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and worldwide for Microsoft Windows on November 17, 2022.[11][12]
