Evaluation

The Afterglow of Grisaia is a standalone visual novel side story that was originally released in Japan as a bonus item bundled with an anime Blu-ray/DVD release. Frontwing brought it to Steam on July 19, 2016 as a fully localized standalone product for western audiences. The store description positions it as a self-contained narrative experience — a side story to The Labyrinth of Grisaia — with no mention of planned expansions, DLC, or future content. There are no DLC listings associated with this game, and the developer has made no announcements of additional content for it. The developer news channel for this game is used by Frontwing as a general publisher announcement board, with posts promoting entirely separate new titles (KANADE, Perennial Dusk -Kinsenka-, Lilac, COCORO, and others). None of these posts reference any new content for The Afterglow of Grisaia itself. The game launched as a complete, finished product and remains so.

About this game

The Afterglow of Grisaia was originally released in Japan as a first-edition bonus for volume 5 of the Eden of Grisaia anime adaptation Blu-ray/DVD.
We're excited to release it as a standalone product for the first time, fully localized for western fans to enjoy!
The Afterglow of Grisaia takes the form of a side story to The Labyrinth of Grisaia (the second main series Grisaia game, also recently released in English!).
The game is a story-driven visual novel with serious overtones.

The Labyrinth of Grisaia shed some light on Kazami Yuuji's past, offering a deeper look at events stretching as far back as his birth.
This story, however, concerns Yuuji's experiences with Kusakabe Asako, the CIRS agent who rescued him at a young age from a terrorist organization.
