Hello again, good backers!

Thank you for supporting us on our Kickstarter campaign for Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation! We’re happy to announce that the Artbook is now complete and available for backers' download!

If your pledge included the Artbook, it has now been added to your BackerKit account - you should have already received an email with download instructions, but you can just log in and you should be able to immediately access it. 

The dual language Artbook contains 60 pages of illustrations and sketches with original product notes and comments by Studio Beast! Please enjoy this additional insight into the production of Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation! 

 If your pledge didn't include the Artbook but you would like to get it, we will be adding it to Steam and other distributors later.

We also welcome you to join the official Fruitbat Factory Discord server to discuss the game.

Ready for Philosophy? Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation Is Out!
about 6 years ago – Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 03:58:10 PM

Hello backers,

We hope you've been enjoying your pre-release copies of Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time!

The rest of the world can now join you, as Chuusotsu! is now available on Steam and other stores! It's been a long road to get here, but we can finally spread the wonderful story with all the world. If you like the game, make sure to share the fun with your friends!

In other developments, we have started working on mailing the rewards this week. 

In specific, almost all rewards for backers who didn't pledge for the Collector's Edition have been prepared for shipping, as well as B2 posters and wall scrolls for all backers, since these will be mailed separately due to size. 

 Having handled the goods in person, we're very impressed with all of their quality, and can't wait to get them into your hands!

We expect to ship this first batch of rewards this or next week. 

The custom USB cards for the Collector's Edition have also been ordered now, and if all goes well we will have all the materials needed for them within a few weeks.

Thank you for the support!
