Fruitbat Factory’s Chuusotsu, SeaBed, and Its Other Visual Novels Are Free Today

In the wake of a global pandemic, Fruitbat Factory has offered people an opportunity to get a few of the visual novels it has localized and published for free. The StayAtHomeVNSale, which is a rather misleading name since the price of all games is $0, is a 48-hour event that will end at 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm CET and gives people a chance to get titles like Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time and SeaBed.

All five of the free Fruitbat Factory games are visual novels covering a number of different genres. Each one is a pay what you want affair, so you could offer money or add them to your account to begin playing. The only requirement to get them is to make a free Itch.io account.

Here are the five free visual novels people can claim.

• Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time: This usually $17.99 game follows people who are considered chuusotsus by the government, that is they are not given any seals, are considered rather powerless, and are failures. But, you’re given a chance to meet, live with, and bond with fellow chuusotsus.
• Enigma: This normally $13.99 game follows a man named Chester who has The Enigma disease. He ends up on an island called Carlyle, where no one seems to have been touched by the pandemic, but a forest there has the same name as the illness.
• Magical Eyes: Red is for Anguish: Originally a $13.99 game, this thriller follows a town where odd incidents keep happening and you will help uncover hidden horrors.
• Miniature Garden: Typically $17.99, this is another thriller where a group of students are about to find out if a rumor about supernatural deaths that supposedly occur at a school’s Miniature Festival in the Miniature Garden really do happen.
• SeaBed: A romantic yuri visual novel that normally costs $17.99, it follows three women who all are trying to figure out who they are, their memories, and their relationships with one another.
