Details

As a nice gift for April 1st, LifeWonders released a nice gimmicky AR game. You can use any marker, or the specialized summoning circle to "summon" units through the phone's camera. It's completely free, and doesn't require anything to summon. Exclusive to this app, there's seven "secret" units, all of which are skins of existing units. So far, there's nothing rewarded for pulling every unit and filling your catalog.

It is currently unknown if the app will be functional after the 1st is over in Japan, or if they plan to expand upon this.

Trivia

Through datamining, we can glean the following:

• The APK's package name is jp.com.lifewonders.leibing, referring to Leib as Leib.
• Asset files in housamo use rave, yet in HousamoAR, Leib is also referred to as leib, yet Salomon-kun isn't referred to by name.
• The Seven Secret Skins are referred to as "uso" (うそ), which roughly means "lie" or "unbelievable".
