Our take on The Afterglow of Grisaia
The main bounce point arrives before the story begins: readers unfamiliar with The Labyrinth of Grisaia may lack the context for its returning characters and revelations. Players expecting combat or exploration will also find the experience centered on visual-novel storytelling rather than interactive action.
What is The Afterglow of Grisaia?
The Afterglow of Grisaia is a story-driven visual novel that expands on Kazami Yuuji's history.
Its central story follows his experiences with Kusakabe Asako, the CIRS agent who rescued him from a terrorist organization when he was young. The game also reveals hidden passages connected to The Labyrinth of Grisaia. It was originally included as a first-edition bonus for the fifth volume of the Eden of Grisaia anime adaptation on Blu-ray and DVD, and is available here as a standalone release with a western localization. The story carries serious themes and is intended to be played after The Labyrinth of Grisaia.
