“What is family?” - This question lies at the heart of Family Project ~Kazoku Keikaku~, the newest game from G-Collections and one of the most reknowned titles in visual novel history. In it you portray Tsukasa, a fiercely independent youth who lost his parents at an early age and now spends his days working at a Chinese restaurant to make ends meet.
Reluctant to form interpersonal ties lest they be shattered, Tsukasa is nonetheless unable to abandon the illegal immigrant girl he finds collapsed in the alley behind his workplace one day. Confronted by her utter helplessness he takes her in, an encounter that opens the door to a new life - one where he faces the challenge and wonder of being no longer alone.
Tsukasa soon finds himself at the unwilling nexus of even more lives, attracting a band of misfits and social outcasts around him that swell beyond the confines of his small apartment. They find shelter in an abandoned house, where despite Tsukasa’s lingering doubts a pact is formed: the “family project”, an alliance of mutual convenience and utilitarian support that despite the mistrust and antagonism among its members soon comes to mean much more.
As Tsukasa you must navigate the ins and outs of your newfound family life, deciding for yourself what matters most, who to protect and defend and how best to shelter a fragile and precious love increasingly beset by outside forces. Moments of laughter, tears, and profound emotion mingle as you chart your own course toward the true meaning of “family”.

_ The problem which some parts corrupt when put together, just try extract again. I had problem about part 6 corrupt but when I try extract again, it works well.
_ About the crack, you guys need to copy and move it to the location which you install this game. Then run that crack file so you can play the game. Everytime when you want to play this game, you need to run that crack.
_ This is my 28th download games on this website. Everything work fine except "Chaos;Head". May be it didn't work with my PC, but it can work with others.
It was the only one that wouldn't work for me.
The others I could potentially get to work but I'm lazy >.>
One of the above comments refer to a "cracked.exe", but when I went to download the crack file, I was offered "KZNRUS.exe", which is most decidedly not "cracked.exe".
Did something get mixed up in the web page's internal code structure? (I.E., you updated the web site, but missed updating a single line of code.)
Also, most of the different games' comment sections keeping referring to you as admin. Do you have a screen name you would rather we use instead?

To Albin: (Stupid assumption on my part, your using Windows XP)
I don't know if this will work for THIS game, but it worked for another. Find (or create) the shortcut to the for-mentioned questionable "cracked.exe", or what ever it really is. Note, I only know that this worked with the shortcut, I don't know about the actual .exe file for the other game. Right click on it and open the properties dialog box. In the "Target" field, go to the absolute end of the line. If there is not already a space at the end, add one. type "/f" with out the quotes. Select Okay. Now try launching the program via that specific short cut.
The the target line for the other program looked something like this:
":\Documents and Settings\\......\.exe" /f
Yes, every thing but the "/f" is in quotes, but that was the short cut for a different game. For all I know, this games short cut won't have quotes.
As for "strange name" of .exe - that's how original one was named, and even retail version start the game with that file ( plus annoying DRM of course...). "KZ" probably stands for "kazoku" whick means "family" in japanese, "US" hints that this is USA version, i have no idea what "NR" is supposed to mean.
Here's the link to result of scanning that file with multiple antivirus scanners http://bit.ly/ieI3H9
I don't need Internet fame, and I'd prefer to be addressed as "admin", since that's what I'm doing on this site.
Arrow brackets are used in HTML code, that's why it doesn't show up.
My confusion came from this comment you left earlier

>You don’t need key for it, if you use cracked .exe
Making it look the the file I download should be named "cracked.exe". Instead, the site is offering me the file “KZNRUS.exe”. I just wanted to get clarification that this is indeed the right file (which you provided, thank you) and not the result of a hacker planting bad files on your site, or just a simple programming bug in the design of your page.
As an aspiring computer programmer, I know all about running down coder errors. Back in one of my earlier High School programming classes, it took me 5 days to find a missing semicolon in my code in a program only fifty lines long.
Anyways, thank you for all your help and for making and maintaining this site.
Trying this one more time:
“(DIVE LETTER):\Documents and Settings\\…(FOLDER PATH)…\(GAME).exe” /f
I had to rename it to "FAMILY.exe" minus the quotes, and I renamed the original "FAMILY.exe" to "FAMILY_Original.exe" so I still had it around. (Yeah I know, real original. :p )
This way, when I go to perform an uninstall, I will delete the crack, and rename the original file back to it's original name, and the uninstaller will have exactly what it's looking for.
So clearly I did not install the patch correctly. For the record I have two patch options FPpatchv3S and FPpatchv2.1M
Does it matter which one I use? And Can I please get clear, slow, step by step instructions for what I need to do, more detail is better, as I rather not repeat my mistake twice.
Thank you everyone in advance.
the second link is broken.
Can you repear it?
(this is the the first part of the game cos the second part hade nohting in the file i extract)
PS
Love Your Website Bro
Work perfectly,as any other games on this website.
Definitely one of my favorites so far. A great story with interesting characters combined with decent graphics, giving this one a 4.5. It's the story that really makes it for me. Yes, it is long, but definitely worth going through. . .still have to finish Jun's arc, but the others have been well thought out and interesting so I can only sit back and expect more of the same.
Keep em coming admin :)
can ya please give the fresh link?
"Teens : Rated by ESRB"
Did you re-upload this title with the crack already applied? I still have a copy of the crack file separate from my install for later use, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
i've tried re-installing, still crashes
can anyone help?

wow so you guys are always re-uploading these for us?
thanks
i now hold you in high esteem
Thank you
There will be no sound or sound effects because your system does not support DirectSound.
What do i do?
PS: i use windows 8.
pls help
If you want to start the game from you PC just copy the howl thing to your PC.
if you have no idea what I am talking about then google: Set system locale to Japanese
help?
all else appears to be working fine.
I would also say the replayability is low, as the story is pretty linear with only small branches for characters being wooed, and the emotional roller coaster/turmoil is just brutal.
If youv played Katawa Shoujo, this is darker with less replayability. [it felt longer too]
I've enjoyed this game slowly from beginning to end which is just how reading vns is meant to be, I guess.
There's just so many good things about Family project: the characters' silliness and daily interactions are just too funny (Hiroshi is awesome), but the drama is just right and not forced at all (I found Jun's story heart-rending).
Tear-jerking moments abound here like Chunhua's forbidden mother reunion, Jun's ending and Hiroshi every time he mentions the family disbanding - that part got me every single time.
And then there's the music: a masterpiece. Both songs "Under the same sky and Philosophy" are so emotionally impactful - loved them.
I'm really gonna miss this game.
Anyway, best girl for me: Matsuri (but her route is kinda meh)
Routes from best to least appealing:
Chunhua > Jun > Aoba > Masumi > Matsuri.
