Chuusotsu! 1.5th Graduation: The Moving Castle Release Date
over 4 years ago – Sat, Jan 11, 2020 at 12:14:25 AM

Hello again good backers!

Chuusotsu! 1.5th Graduation: The Moving Castle has just passed review, and we've put the Steam page live. You can wishlist it here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1148930/Chuusotsu_15th_Graduation_The_Moving_Castle/

This hilarious side story/sequel to Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation, which was created by Studio Beast with the funding of this Kickstarter campaign, will release as a standalone title on January 17 for $9.99. A free copy will be given to all Backers who backed at a game tier ($15 or above) through BackerKit in the next few days (we'll make another update to let you know then). 

This will be the game's first ever release anywhere, so you will be the first ones to get to play it!

By the way, the Steam review process is getting stricter and stricter for all-ages visual novels, and thus you'll find Chuusotsu! 1.5th Graduation's Steam page restricted with the mature content filter, and tagged with the "sexual content" tag, which will no doubt work wonders for accurate recommendations.

Prepare for an extra heated edition of Chuusotsu! ...or not.

Please be aware that this was at Steam's request due to some unspecified reasons, and in our estimate it does not reflect the actual contents of the game, which does bring up generally adult themes (and plenty of inappropriate jokes) but at no greater level than Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation did, so don't be too confused by this.

Look forward to it!

Chuusotsu! 1.5th Graduation - The Moving Castle Draws Close!
over 4 years ago – Sat, Aug 24, 2019 at 08:46:35 AM

Hello good backers!

We're pleased to let you know that the Chuusotsu! side story that was funded through this Kickstarter campaign, Chuusotsu! 1.5th Graduation - The Moving Castle, will be ready to release soon.

The game will support English and Japanese, and we're looking forward to sharing it with all of you, as this will be the game's official premiere! 

The story of the 1.5th Graduation directly follows the events of the main game. You will be able to join Arue and her merry Chuusotsu band on her first visit to a certain doujin event in the Big Site, and share in her struggles as an aspiring manga creator. 

This will end well, won't it?

The initial playtesting is now complete, and the game is just missing a few finishing touches on the technical side of things before entering final QA.

Summer - what a wonderful time to work!

 Chuusotsu! 1.5th Graduation - The Moving Castle has been translated into English with the combined effort of Juan Gomez (the translator of the main game) and the now late Conjueror, who finished the translation only a few months before he sadly passed away. Like the previous entry, it has been edited by Garejei, and you can look forward to some amazing dialogue by Studio Beast!

Just Arue things

Look forward to more news in the coming weeks!

Speaking of the coming weeks, we will be exhibiting at Tokyo Game Show in Japan on September 12-15. Our booth is in hall 7 of the general exhibition area, booth 7-S02. If you're coming to the event, make sure to visit us - there may be some visual novel related news in store too!

Hello again good backers,

Thank you again for supporting Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time! We hope you've been enjoying the game.

For those who haven't seen it yet, we wanted to share news of our next campaign, which has just launched: we're funding a limited physical Collector's Edition for Seven Days With You: The Most Precious Memory in Our Lives (aka Seven Days) by LIFE0. 

You can see the game's opening video performed by the wonderful Rita here:

Chuusotsu! Kickstarter taught us the importance of collector's editions for visual novel campaigns, so we took that to heart and this time we've built the entire campaign around them, offering both an affordable but cool Collector's Edition and a premium boxed Special Edition with additional goods.

Seven Days is an occult-themed mystery visual novel that features a cast of dead heroines. Please check out the campaign page for more details!

You can see some of the game's cute art (crafted by the popular artist Miko) below:

Seven Days comes in full HD and features a lineup of top voice talent by Uesaka Sumire, Kiritani Choucho,Fujita Masayo, Aranami Kazusa, Shimizu Ai, Shimizu Ayaka, Toda Megumi, Oohashi Ayuru, Maruyama Miki and Urata Wataru.

If it seems like something you'd be interested in, please consider supporting the campaign in return for exclusive rewards!
