Grisaia no Kajitsu released

I actually thought this would be some sort of Nukige because of the whole "harem-garden" appeal but I'm glad I am wrong.

It's actually easy to see if one is a nukige or not by just going to their site.

My belief of it being a nukige arose from the phrase "orchid-cum-prison" found in the VNDB description, but after a bit of common sense (google) I realized that the cum in this has nothing to do with ejaculating.

According to Wikitionary:
cum:
Used in indicating a thing with two roles, functions, or natures, or a thing that has changed from one to another.
"He built a bus-cum-greenhouse (= he converted a bus to a greenhouse) that made a bold statement, but the plants in it didn't live very long."

So, an orchard-cum-prison would be an orchard turned into a prison.

You got way too used to the vulgar form of it. lol

Anyone have any spoiler free opinions?

I'd like to know some opinions from the players too, I downloaded this out of curiosity, hoping it would be another pleasant surprise like G-Senjou no Maou was, but unfortunately I haven't started it yet. Too much World of Tanks. :V

So I finished Grisaia no Kajitsu. Most of the humor is hilarious so it was quite pleasant to read for long periods of time. Some of the content is on the Sci-Fi side of things (Michiru's route), but it's a minor dissatisfaction if a dissatisfaction at all.

I read some reviews about how the overarching story is lacking, and I would have to agree. I think the thought process on making this VN was to introduce the characters in this first game, and then continue the overarching story in the later games. After finishing the first game I'm left wanting more. Unfortunately, I doubt it'd be as pleasant to read the other games with a text-hook and machine translations.

So should you pick it up? Yea, it's worth getting introduced to the characters and their individual plots. The overarching story is brushed up on, but never detailed in any concrete way - a good way to build hype. If you can stand that type of tease, then start reading.

I stumbled over this game by chance and am overjoyed to hear that it was made by the makers of G-Senjou.



And what i didn't know: There are sequels to this one? On which storypart are they build upon?

All the character routes have a conclusive ending similar to G-Senjou no Maou, but the key differences between the two is that Grisaia doesn't have a "true route", or what I like to call overarching story - at least not in the first game. G-Senjou no Maou has a bit of detective fiction where Grisaia does not, but they both have a good balance between humor and seriousness.

There is a common route, which will probably relate to the sequel.

Spoilers, hide that stuff. Yes there are sequels and I theorize that the part they continue on is the common route, also I'm fairly certain that Akabeisoft2 not Frontwing-but if they have devs from Akabeisoft2 then I'm wrong.

Ah ok, there are already story addons. But ... which addon covers the "full" or common route? Or is there a new addon coming?

Yeah, totally right, Frontwing = Grisaia no Kajitsu / Akabeisoft2 = G-Senjou no Maoh. Was confused by some Wiki-Entries and the similarity.

So you mean that Akabeisoft2 did not make Grisaia no Kajitsu right? It's a bit confusing how you worded that.

I was playing and was like hmmm, why does Michiru seem so familiar? Then,
I just found out that these three things have something in common.
