As I have reported beore, bishojo game "Garden" by Cuffs, which has been decreasing its price, has decreased to 2,000yen ($18.8=106yen) on the 27th. Its original price is 9,240yen ($86.9=106yen), and the % of its "buy back" is as low as 22%, which is the lowest among bishojo game.

The reason of this is because the game "Garden" by Cuffs tells that on the day of its release (25th), routes of its 2 characters can not be captured.

A staff at one of the stores in Akihabara says we sold really well on the day of its release. Today (28th), we sold only few. If we think about the rate of its consumption, it is not really good.

The company apologized saying "we couldn't handle routes of its characters," and sold the incomplete work. Its staff writes on its diary that we have tried to focus on keeping integration of the work, and we made it as a complete game. The cut part of routes of Ruri & Mana will be made (maybe). But, what is integration???

By the way, Trader Main Branch cut "Garden" off from its price list.

As a matter of a fact, the game was incomplete. For sure, the company had a borderline that they had to release the game before this day or that day even though the game was incomplete at the time. I feel like I understand what kind of pressure the company was under. Of course, I understand the side of consumers. Well, selling a game is not only done by a company. I do believe the company released as a substitute of postponement.

[p.s.] on the 19th, they released information on the website that they are going to correspond about scenarios of Ruri and Mana gratuitously.
