Family Project



"What is family?"

This question lies at the heart of Family Project ~Kazoku Keikaku~. In it you portray Tsukasa, a fiercely independent youth who lost his parents at an early age and now spends his days working at a Chinese restaurant to make ends meet.

Reluctant to form interpersonal ties lest they be shattered, Tsukasa is nonetheless unable to abandon the illegal immigrant girl he finds collapsed in the alley behind his workplace one day. Confronted by her utter helplessness he takes her in, an encounter that opens the door to a new life - one where he faces the challenge and wonder of being no longer alone.

Tsukasa soon finds himself at the unwilling nexus of even more lives, attracting a band of misfits and social outcasts around him that swell beyond the confines of his small apartment. They find shelter in an abandoned house, where despite Tsukasa's lingering doubts a pact is formed: the "family project", an alliance of mutual convenience and utilitarian support that despite the mistrust and antagonism among its members soon comes to mean much more.

As Tsukasa you must navigate the ins and outs of your newfound family life, deciding for yourself what matters most, who to protect and defend and how best to shelter a fragile and precious love increasingly beset by outside forces. Moments of laughter, tears, and profound emotion mingle as you chart your own course toward the true meaning of "family".

G-Collections presents the crown jewel of Japanese maker D.O.'s lineup and a legend of the bishoujo gaming universe, Family Project ~Kazoku Keikaku~. With a scenario by Yamada Hajime, acclaimed author of Kana ~Little Sister~ and Hoshizora Planet as well as Yume Miru Kusuri and others, music by I've Sound featuring Kotoko on opening vocals, beautiful artwork from Fukunaga Yumi, and a cast of world-class voice actors, Family Project ~Kazoku Keikaku~ is a defining tour de force in the visual novel canon.

NNL's Stand on the Release of ef - A Fairytale of Two

I suppose everyone who's participating on any VN forum would know about the argument if NNL should release a standalone setup or a patch. It is revealed on their earlier posts at its website (before the pagewipe that is) that they would release ef as a STANDALONE from day 1.

Come to think of it, releasing it as a standalone raises many questions about piracy. Isn't it a piracy in itself? considering they'll release it as one? Here's my conversation on one of the NNL staff on a secure IRC channel



Me: Its concerning nnl's stand on releasing a standalone installer of ef - The First Tale

???: What about it?

Me: hmmm

Me: Why was the reason you'll release it as such, and not as a patch?

???: Simple. To make it easier for the players. You know... normally you're not intended to own any original copy of an eroge unless you're in Japan

Me: Yeah.

Me: I was just thinking...

???: So why bothering with lame game images giving you trouble if you try to install them?

Me: Don't take this the wrong way but.. isn't this the same as spreading links of original games on the net?

Me: Just to clear my head abit though

???: Well yeah it kinda is. But what about it? The Japanese don't want you to buy it "For Japanese Market Only". So where's the difference in downloading a ripped ISO and applying a patch on it or downloading the whole thing. Japanese players don't care about the standalone since... yeah... they rather play games in their language

Me: hmmm... pretty good argument there. Thanks. that was the answer I need.



So there you have it. If you have any arguments about this, talk to me or on one of the nnl staff about it.

Cross Channel


Gunjo Gakuen (Deep Blue School) is a facility designed to gather and isolate those students who got a high score on an adaptation exam (Scoring high on this exam indicates that the student is less likely to be able to be adapted to the society) mandated by the government.

In order to confirm the status of the outside world, Taichi decides to gather other club members to help Misato Miyasumi, the president of the broadcasting club, who is trying to set up a broadcasting antenna to contact any possible survivors. However, Taichi soon discovers that the world is actually repeating the week after they found the others vanished

Kagetsu Tohya (Ten Nights of the Singing Moon)


Kagetsu Tohya consists of "Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess", the long main story with many branches, and several shorter side stories that are unlocked one after another after related events in the main story have been read. Ten of these side stories are combined as "Ten Nights of Dream".

Twilight Grass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess
One year after the events of Tsukihime (presumably from the "Good Ending" of Arcueid path, as none of the characters are dead), Shiki is a victim of an accident. After this accident, Shiki awakens into a strange dream wherein he repeats the same day over and over. There are infinitely many endings to the day, but it always begins anew after each day. Eventually, Shiki discovers that he must find Len, the creator of the dream, if he wishes to escape.

The gameplay is exactly the same as in Tsukihime. However it uses a slightly different system in which the player goes through each of Shiki's "days" in the dream. The number of choices presented to the player in Kagetsu Tohya is also significantly larger than in Tsukihime. Also, due to the plot structure, the timeframe of Kagetsu Tohya is not linear like Tsukihime, but circular; that is, after completing one "day" in Shiki's dream, your status is automatically saved and you have to play the same "day" again, but with different choices. The days do not progress; rather, every time a day is completed, what you have accomplished in that day is saved by the computer. Eventually, you will come across the ending for the game after accomplishing everything that comes before it.

Ten Nights of Dream
The first seven of these stories were written by Kinoko Nasu like the rest of Kagetsu Tohya, while the last three are contribution works by others, essentially fanfiction. It is unknown if any of these stories are to be considered canon. In fact, some are obviously NOT canon, such as Imogirisou and Ciel-Sensei. It is likely, however, that the background information is to be considered canon. (Such as Nanako-chan and Arihiko's pasts, along with the explanations for certain plot holes in Ciel-sensei, such as how Chaos and Arcueid got to Japan.)

Good luck, Ciel-sensei
Ciel teaches the rest of the cast in her role as Ciel-sensei from Tsukihime. The story is mainly a comedy story, reflecting on parts of the series in the form of questions. It also explains plotholes as well.

A Story for the Evening
Akiha solves a mystery in her boarding school. This story is a sequel to her true ending in Tsukihime. An urban legend around school involves placing curses and an old mailbox. Tsukasa, another student at the school, placed a curse on Akiha but is afraid she'll find out, and attempts to kill Akiha by knocking her off two stories from the roof. Akiha survives due to her super-human abilities and Tsukasa comes in the night to kill her with a knife, but Akiha yet again survives and knocks out Tsukasa. By the end of the story, Akiha is informed that Ciel saved Shiki Tohno from death and that he'd return by the end of the year. Akiha dedicates herself to regrowing her black hair, which she shortened after a portion was cut by Tsukasa's knife.

Crimson Moon
A look at Arcueid's history as a True Ancestor, and her first fateful meeting with Roa. This story has Roa as the protagonist and shows him in less of an antagonistic light.

Red Demon God
The story of Shiki's father Kiri Nanaya. This story reveals much about the Nanaya family and the Demon Hunter's Association that they are connected with. Kiri Nanaya is at the end killed by Kishima Kouma, who is taking revenge for his parents deaths at the hands of Kiri Nanaya.

Nanako-chan SOS
Nanako (the spirit of the Seventh Holy Scripture) escapes from Ciel and hides out at Arihiko's place. This story has Arihiko as the protagonist and reveals how he and Shiki met in the past. Ciel ends up taking Nanako back by the end of the story.

Imogirisou
A parody of the horror game Otogirisou starring Shiki, Akiha, Hisui and Kohaku. With a cameo by The Dead.

Flower of Thanatos
An explicit sex scene featuring Shiki and either Hisui, Kohaku, or both.

Hisui-chan, Inversion Impulse!
Hisui goes insane with hilarious results. Based on Hisui's Good Ending.

The Tohno Family Con Game
Nearly the whole cast plays an elaborate game of tag for Kohaku's sake. Even the villains, major and minor take a part in it, with Kohaku using her assets and intelligence to win the game.

Dawn
The continued story of the girl that gets devoured in the park by Nrvnqsr Chaos in Tsukihime. She also holds Nrvnqsr's Reality Marble, Lair of the Beast King, allowing her to use his animals. The first part of the story misleadingly leads the reader to believe they are Shiki Tohno, until Ciel suspects that the protagonist isn;t Shiki. The girl ends up dying at the hands of Shiki Tohno, unaware of anything other than her nature as a vampire. She dies happily in her sister's arms.

Other stories
Summer Festivals
Five short scenes in which Shiki takes either Arcueid, Ciel, Akiha, Hisui or Kohaku on a date to the summer festival.

Drinking, Dreaming Moon
This hidden story, unlocked after all other content in the game has been viewed, has Shiki meeting his adoptive brother SHIKI and discussing their relationship on friendly terms.

Crescendo (visual novel)


Crescendo: Eien Dato Omotte Ita Ano Koro


Is an adult Japanese visual novel developed by Digital Object and released in Japan for the PC on September 28, 2001. A 'Full Voice Version' of the game was released in Japan on July 25, 2003, including full voice acting (apart from the protagonist) and extended scenarios for each character. The voice assets from this version of the game, but not the extended scenarios, were utilized by G-Collections in their English translation of the game, which was released on June 1, 2003.

The game follows a student named Ryo Sasaki through the five days leading up to his high school graduation. The story is presented as text, laid over graphics of the player's current location and other characters who are present. The player progresses through the story and is occasionally presented with decisions that determine the path the game will take.

Crescendo is told from a third person perspective. This allows the game to shift to other characters' viewpoints from time to time. Most of the game is played from Ryo's point of view, though. Crescendo is a unique visual novel in that none of the background music used within the game were composed for the purpose of the game; instead, it uses various famous songs, pieces, and folk songs (and rearrangements thereof) as its background music, tying the motif of music more closely into the game.

This game also includes an in-universe nod to characters from an earlier Digital Object game Kana: Little Sister, where the player can watch a movie based on the lives of the characters from that game.
