Which gacha game was that? I haven't heard of it.

Yes, Leaf's abandonment of making 18+ games in favour of making all-ages games is a pity, but you have to admit that former big-name eroge developers like Age (the creator of the Muv-Luv series) have been turning away from 18+
content in general, even if in Muv-Luv's case, the stories still feature 18+
elements. This is all very strange to me, because there are 18+ scenes in both the VN versions of
Muv-Luv Total Eclipse and
Schwarzesmarken, just an offscreen one in the case of the former and a barely-censored one in the case of the latter. I mean, throwing away your previous key demographic is already an ill-advised move, but poorly serving your newly-chosen demographic too with 18+ elements they may not want to see or are too young for the resulting CERO rating?
By the way, how exactly is Leaf/Aquaplus running away "even from consumer games"?

Yeah, Leaf/Aquaplus shouldn't have let their older IPs die out like that. We should be on
To Heart 4 by now, given that
To Heart 2 was released in 2006. How about a
Comic Party 2, or a
White Album 3, or a
Tenshi no inai 12-gatsu (December When There Is No Angel)
2?

When exactly was "back in the days"? Around 2015 perhaps, after their blockbuster release of
White Album 2 (a story as hard-hitting as it was partly because of its 18+ content) already a distant memory?

Who was the original composer of
Utawarerumono? How is the replacement not up to snuff?
