CUFFS releases an incomplete Garden
Garden, the latest eroge by CUFFS that was released yesterday, has shocked and awed all fans as everybody finds out that two character scenarios have been cut from the game without any prior announcement or warning by CUFFS.
The official website has since announced that they were unable to finish work on the two character routes due to schedule constraints (despite having delayed the release date by 3 months…!), and they still plan to complete work on the two character routes that were missing from the retail version of the game.
They have not announced if the two character routes will be distributed for free or as a alternate wonderful money making fandisk.
Many fans have since tried to demand for a refund as the game that they bought was incomplete and there was no indication that two character routes were cut from the game till they actually play it.
But that’s not the only problem that plagues Garden!
Garden is made by the famous Suigetsu pair, Gayarou (artist) and Tonoikedaisuke (writer), and all official sources have listed Tonoike as the only scenario writer for Garden. But to the surprise of long time fans, CUFFS had actually used freelance writers to write parts of the scenario, which some have reported that it has resulted in a horribly written story.
The theory is that Tonoike was unable to write the story or didn’t want to write the story, and they had to throw in other writers at the last minute just to get the game out.
The guys that bought Dies Irae are really happy right now because they have new friends who are suffering the same fate of missing character routes.

And the moral to this story is:
“Why try to be the first on the street to get something, find out that it’s incomplete or broken, and you feel like an idiot. When you can wait a month or so when it’s a complete product, it works well, and you curse yourself out of loneliness.”

A 209 MB v1.11 patch has been released.

1.11 is only a bug fix patch, which still doesn’t fix most of the numerous bugs that this game has.
A fan has created a custom patch to fix most of the bugs that were in the game though.
