Colopl developed the role-playing 3D action game for iOS and Android platforms in July 2014. An English version under the title Rune Story was released in late 2015 but discontinued its service the following year. Shironeko Project won both the best game and best application in Japanese Google Play in 2014 and Excellent Award at the Famitsu Awards in 2015 and 2016. The game has been downloaded over 5 million times since its launch.

A new game in the series, tentatively titled Shironeko New Project, is scheduled for a 2020 release on the Nintendo Switch console.
