Cross Days

Last updated

Cross Days is a visual novel. These are essentially played by watching and listening to episodic sequences of story and then selecting, or ignoring, clickable actions or responses when they are presented to the player. [1] These choices are intricately linked to alternating routes of plot, moderately changing the direction of the story as each is made, ultimately leading to erotic scenes between characters and one of various endings. In the game's yaoi routes, the protagonist crossdresses as a maid and engages in homosexual intercourse.

Like the games before it, Cross Days is presented with limited animation. [2] The game is audibly stereophonic with lip-synched voice acting, [3] sound effects and background music.

Plot

Yuuki Ashikaga is a high school freshman in his second semester at the fictional Sakakino Academy, who from his regular visits to the library, grows enamored by Kotonoha Katsura, a classmate who also comes to read. Despite being in a relationship, she genuinely reciprocates his interest. However, things become complicated when his sister, Chie, introduces him to Roka Kitsuregawa, a friend of hers. In an attempt to make herself seem harder to get, Roka claims that she is equally interested in Makoto Itou, another schoolmate. Her lie is unsuccessful, as Yuuki, aware that Makoto is Kotonoha's boyfriend, decides to ask her about the affair. [4] [5]

Setting

Unlike in Summer Days, the story in Cross Days is not rewritten as a spin-off of the original story, but occurs during the events of it, [4] making the game a parallel series to School Days. As such, the undisclosed location of the story remains the same with focus being around the school. All signature characters and their established relationships appear in the game, [6] with six new cast members.

Cross Days follows Yuuki Ashikaga, a bespectacled young lad whose withdrawn school life goes awry when his affection for two girls begins to affect his relationships with his friends and peers. Though unaware of each other, the girls in question constitute the premise of the game: Kotonoha Katsura, a character well known throughout the franchise as the pivotal love-interest of Makoto Itou, and Roka Kitsuregawa, a newcomer whose efforts to make Yuuki jealous only serve to further complicate her relationship with him. Chie Ashikaga, the mildly abusive older sister of Yuuki, and Kyouichi Kasannoin, Nanami Kanroji's boyfriend, [7] having only previously made cameo appearances in the School Days anime, [8] return to make more prominent roles, as does Ai Yamagata, a character last seen from Summer Days. [9] Rounding up the set of the cast are Ion Ishibashi and Kira Youka, a couple of friends who also make first appearances in the game. [7]

Development

News of Cross Days first surfaced in the December 2008 issue of Tech Gian, a magazine published by Enterbrain, on October 21, [10] showing first ever screenshots, reporting on the story and characters, and mentioning that Cross Days would contain 3D animation with a meticulously reworked plot and male protagonist. Also in October, ASCII Media Works and Gakken published articles about the game in their respective issues of Dengeki G's Magazine , Dengeki Hime and Megami Magazine . [11]

Promotion began shortly after. Besides periodically keeping the public informed on development and characters, 0verflow consecutively released downloadable, non-playable benchmarks of the game from November 1, 2008, to May 4, 2009. [12] Company staff attended Dream Party, an anime convention, in Osaka on November 16, 2008, selling Cross Days telephone cards [13] while stores took pre-orders for the game, reportedly filling reservations in days. [14] On December 5, 0verflow announced that a set of USB teledildonics, collectively known as SOM, would be compatible with Cross Days, manufactured by Goods Land. [15] Trial versions of the game, released to about 95 select retailers, were disclosed by 0verflow on December 26 [16] and at Comiket 75. [17]

On January 8, 2009, 0verflow announced that starting that day, Lantis would be airing a weekly, episodic internet radio drama of the game's characters, titled Radio Cross Days. [18] Broadcasts were made regularly on Thursdays, finishing up on March 25, 2010 with 64 sessions aired. [19]

Cross Days was originally scheduled to come out on February 27, 2009, [20] but its release was postponed six times: to April 24, [20] June 26, [21] November 20, [22] December 18, [23] January 29, 2010, [24] and to March 19, 2010, when it finally came out. [25] The much-anticipated game was released to several promotional campaigns, many of which were intercity screening venues that spanned operation from March 5 to 14. [26]

Release history

On March 29, 2010 0verflow announced that an outdated DLL had been released with retail versions of the game. A 372 KB replacement was provided via download. [19] The following day another patch was released to bring copies of the game up to version 1.00a. [19]

Cross Days was ported to two other platforms. AiCherry, an interactive movie developer, re-released Cross Days as a DVD game on April 28, 2011, [2] as did PalaceGame, a UMD publisher, for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) on July 29, 2011. [27]

Trojan scare

On April 15, 2010, roughly a month after Cross Days was released, BBC News reported on the spread of a virus named Kenzero masquerading on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks as unlicensed copies of erotic games; [28] one of which, according to software developer SPAMFighter, included Cross Days. [29] Users tricked into installing the virus, termed a form of "ransomware" in the report, were asked for personal information and then had all of their web history posted to a blog, operated by shell corporation Romancing Inc., for public access. [28] NetAgent, a property rights company, reported that at least 5,510 people were collectively infected. [30] Those wishing to have their information removed could do so after acknowledging to viewers that they had attempted to download the game illegally. SPAMfighter has noted that the intrusive nature of the trojan was "in fact explained in [the software's] terms of service". [29]

Sales

Cross Days for Windows premiered as the third most sold game on Getchu.com, a major redistributor of visual novel and domestic anime products, during the month of its release, [31] ranking twelfth for the first half of 2010, [32] and thirty-first for the whole year. [33] The DVD game ranked as the most sold DVDi for the first half of 2011, [34] and forty-seventh most from November 26 to December 27. [35] Cross Days for the PSP additionally ranked as the fifteenth most sold UMD game during that time as well. [35]

Manga

Based on the story of the game, Cross Days was published into a manga, written by Yoko Kagura and illustrated by Homare Sakazuki. 0verflow announced on April 4, 2010 that it would make its serialization debut in Monthly Comp Ace on April 26. [36] The series was circulated until August 2010, [11] published by Kadokawa Shoten into a first and second volume, released November 20, 2010 [37] and June 22, 2011, [38] respectively.

The first of these was a strategy guide and artwork book by Junji Goto, character artist for 0verflow, titled Cross Days Visual Fanbook (ビジュアル・ファンブック, Vijuaru Fanbukku) and published by Kinema Junpousha in August 2010. [39] The subsequent three releases were light novels by different authors but whose cover art was drawn by Goto and illustrated by Jet Yowatari; each book retold the story of the game. Cross Days, a novel, was published by Harvest Books on September 15, written by Mutsuki Mizusaki. [40] Another novel, titled Cross Days ~Kasanaru uso, Kasanaru omoi~ (クロスデイズ ~重なる嘘, 重なる想い~), was released on October 22, 2010 by Shueisha, authored by Hiro Akizuki. [41] The final novel, Cross Days Kitsuregawa Roka no koi no Ruru (Cross Days 喜連川路夏の恋のルール) was written by Yoko Kagura, author of the manga adaption, and was published on October 29 by Kill Time Communication.

As was the case for School Days and Summer Days, the original soundtrack of Cross Days was reproduced for distribution alongside the game, initially scheduled for February 27, 2009.
