We've just finished e-mailing pre-release Steam copies of Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation and Chuusotsu! Sound Correction (the game's OST) to their backers!

If you didn't see it already, please check your e-mail for your copy, and you can join the three good-for-nothing girls Arue, Koiro and Arara on their philosophical journey right now! 

Steam trading cards for the game have already been enabled, and can be earned when playing the game.  

If you wish to play Chuusotsu! in Japanese, you can change the language from in-game settings. 

An off-steam digital copy will be provided later to make sure the installer is most up to date on launch. 

You’re more than welcome to join the official Fruitbat Factory Discord server to discuss the game - we’ve set up a new spoiler channel for Chuusotsu! 

Thank you for your support that has gotten us this far, and we are eagerly looking forward to your impressions!

Hello good backers,

We're happy to announce that Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time will be released in 2 weeks, on April 24!

Backers will receive their copy of the game and OST 2 days in advance, on April 22, so you can mark that date on your calendar!

Our internal testers have been having a blast with Chuusotsu!, and we can't wait to get it into your hands!

Meanwhile, we're currently working on the shipping logistics for the physical rewards, as well as the digital artbook - which will feature game CGs, character art, sketches and more - and the avatar & background pack. 

We expect to begin shipping some of the physical rewards at the end of this month, with the production time for the Collector's Edition deciding when the fulfillment will be ultimately finished.
