He thought life at the academy would never change.
Everyone marched forward in the same direction, matching step for step; before he knew it, he began to surrender to that illusion.
He believed that he would only arrive at the same place if he continued down the same path as everyone else.
Then he realized.
Just as there are as many paths as there are people, no two paths are identical.
—“Asako. I’ve already saved the five of them, you know?
So it’s all right, isn’t it…? It’s all right… for me to die now, right?
I know that even if I save somebody, it doesn’t mean I can erase my past.
Still, wouldn’t it mean I can die with a smile on my face?”
“I might not be able to see those girls anymore.
But at least those memories would stay in my heart forever.
Still, this unforgiving world isn’t full of girls sweet enough to be satisfied by those words alone.”
That was the truth one young man finally understood…

Guess I'm going to have to do this the slow way... anyways, thank you admin!
Is this any different? Do you start fresh in this one, or do you select a girls route from past games?
1 game = 5 routes for individual heroines
2 game = after stories for the routes from first game + "main part" which consists of Yuuji's past and setts up for game 3
3 game = "true ending" to the trilogy. If you read the first game then you know that he basically "helps" the girls with their problems, the way this works is that this game assumes that he was able to help all 5 of them at once (a.k.a. all 5 routes from the first game happened and not just one) with that inn mind it continues where the second game left off.
To conclude this without spoiling anything, I personally (and many others) see the first game as the best of the series (In fact, it's probably my highest rated novel on vndb), it goes downhills from the second game (although I would still suggest to read the cocoon of caprice arc from it to understand Yuuji), the after-stories for the original routes are mostly bad. I don't want to call the second and third game straight out bad but they should be read with a grain of salt, the whole thing is full of nonsense and plot-holes (extreme ones). Major things are left unanswered and without explanation and it overall makes no sense. Kinda shame when you look at the first title and let's not even mention phantom trigger...
(It is mainly IMHO because of choices made when it comes to writer(s) and it seems like the games were forced out to make money)
As said i didn't really get the hype about the first game. From my point of view it was ok. Wasn't bad but suffered from an unrelatable main character (cold and distant throughout the whole story), as well as waaaay over the top stories (see the maid route).
So i'd judge the game on the interaction between him and the girls. Since this seems to progress throughout 3 games i'll hold of on my final judgement till i checked this one out.
let's all just be thankful that he uploaded eden.
Congrats and MANY thanks from Uruguay
This series has always been one of my favorites...due to its storyline and the wonderful balance between seriousness and silliness. For those of you new to this series (is that possible?) here is the list and reading order of the main story and addons:
1. Fruit of Grisaia
1a Leisure of Grisaia
2. Labyrinth of Grisaia
2a Melody of Grisaia
2b Afterglow of Grisaia
3. Eden of Grisaia
4. Idol Magical Girl (spinoff/non-eroge/2 parts)
5. Phantom Trigger (3 parts/new characters)
Even if I manually download this programm and put it in the game file, I have this time an application error "0xc00007b".
My OS : Windows 7 64 bits, the pc is set in japanese unicode.
Secondly at everyone else reading this, stop asking for dies irae uncensored. that version likely won't be uploaded. Just be happy we got the steam version on here!!!
Some VNs have just been released like Real life plus Kaname... So upload a few soon (I wanna play the last mentioned) . Thank you.
excuse me for asking, but will you be uploading uncensored dies irae? if not, i'll gladly just dl the steam version from here. thank you.
What version of Visual C++ 2015 did you downloaded ?
You know that everyone says you need visual c++ 2015 redistributable? That's right, you need those. But they also tell you to install the same version as your windows, e.g. x86 or x64. Seriously, fuck those people. I have x64 system and installing corresponding gave me the same fucking problem. After wasting whole day on looking on the "solutions" and those files I concluded that I needed both of those files and the game finally ran properly.
Microsoft are stupid for not included them all in 1 place.
That's all i can say regarding the whole trilogy. I don't have the means to purchase any of the games you present us on this site, and giving me the chance to read the Grisaia trilogy (among a lot of other VN-s, of course) is something i can't thank you enough.
And while i'm at it, let me ask a question: Is there any chance we'll see Shards of Eradine on this site sometime?
Step 1: Get the R18 patch from the Dies irae kickstarter page. One of the links for the patch is only accessible to backers, but there's another for non-backers.
The "patch" should give you an executable file and a data file. Put them both in your Dies irae folder. Try running the executable and you'll notice it's not working. That's normal because it only runs if you have completed one of the routes.
Step 2: Google "sagaoz" and click the first link. It's a website where people upload their save files. It's in Japanese, but you can just use the search bar in the top right. Type "Dies irae" and hit enter. Then use ctrl + f and type "dies irae" and you'll see the save files. Download the Amantes Amentes save (not the HD version).
Step 3: The save file you downloaded should have a cgmode.dat, global.dat, and read.dat in it. Take those and put it in this location on your computer:
(your username here)/appdata/roaming/light/dies irae ~amantes amentes~/save
Now run that executable from the R18 patch. It will work now and you can experience the uncensored version without having to go through the censored version.
NOTES:
- make sure it has those squiggly marks in the save directoy "~". It might not have them if you don't have Japanese locale on your computer
- uncensored verion does not have the story additions found in the censored version like the secret ending for one of the routes, the side stories, etc.
Can anybody explain why the fuck it has only one route......
