Returning Eroge "Garden" to a Wholesale Store is Impossible

AkibaBlog

As I have reported, Cuffs released "Garden" with an incomplete condition, and the price has decreased. When I checked its price after the last weekend of January, the price has become 3,980yen ($37.22=106yen).

Cuffs apologized by 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).

As I have reported, some stores decreased the price of "Garden" by Cuffs. When I checked its price after the last weekend of January, the price has become 3,980yen ($37.22=106yen) at Kamifusen, or used price even it has not opened was 4,980yen ($46.58=106yen).

A staff at a store says "returning eroge 'Garden' to a wholesale store is impossible. People at a distribution center even apologized."

Gayarou (illustrator) & Daisuke Tonoike (scriptwriter) set out Cuffs on their own (from F&C) with the help of Studio Line in 2005, according to Game-style. It is a love story whose setting is at school. A main character in this story has the emotional wound and with other heroines, her story goes on. One of its main heroin (whose scenario was cut in the game), Ruri Himemiya, is drawn on the back of its package largely, and in its demo, she shows up on the 2nd. 2 days before its release, Ruri's scenario was cut and her voice was updated.

A reviewer comments that "I am still waiting for the complete version of 'Garden.' Nevertheless, I'm not expecting for Cuffs. Lets say, if the company had a financial difficulty and needed some funds so Cuffs must have released 'Garden,' I understand the situation. However, why they did not tell us before its release? The question will never disappear."
