Chuusotsu - 1st Graduation Now on Kickstarter

April 25, 2017 - Fruitbat Factory is excited to announce the launch of the Kickstarter campaign for Chuusotsu - 1st Graduation: Time After Time.

Chuusotsu - 1st Graduation: Time After Time is a new all-ages visual novel by Studio Beast, famous for the cult classic "J.Q.V Jinrui Kyuusai-bu ~With Love from Isotope~." It was released in Japan in August 2016 as a HD wide-screen release.

Chuusotsu is a fun, colorful story of three girls brought by their individual circumstances to live under the same roof and being forced to tackle existential questions to win their place in society.
Fruitbat Factory is bringing Chuusotsu to fans all over the world in dual language (English and Japanese text, characters fully voiced in Japanese).

A Kickstarter campaign is now underway, giving backers the ability to get the game significantly under the retail price, grab exclusive rewards, and support the localization effort and Studio Beast in making all-new improvements to the game.
The Kickstarter campaign's goal is set at $20.000, with two stretch goals revealed, both adding an all-new event CG to the game.

MSRP for Chuusotsu - 1st Graduation will be $19.99, and $9.99 for the soundtrack, Sound Disc.
