Delisting
Nyu Media announced on June 15th, 2022 that they were winding down their publishing operations through the end of that year. Fortunately, publishing rights were transferred to the developers of many titles that Nyu Media handled but a few would end up being delisted. The eXceed trilogy (eXceed – Gun Bullet Children, eXceed 2nd – Vampire REX, eXceed 3rd – Jade Penetrate Black Package) – were three others later delisted.
Both Cherry Tree High Comedy Club and Cherry Tree High I! My! Girls! were delisted on Steam on July 11th, 2022. The games were also available from the PLAYISM Store but that platform shut down earlier in March of 2021. Downloads of the English language release were previously available through Nyu Media from Gamersgate, GameStop, Desura, and The Capcom Store but were removed from sale on these platforms at varying dates. At one time both games were available directly from developer 773 as well but they also ceased offering them at some point. As of April 2023 both titles remain available in Japanese from a handful of digital PC stores including DLsite.
Guys, we had a GREAT run.
When we started this company in 2011, our primary goals were to support some truly talented Japanese indie developers, to introduce Japanese indie games to overseas gamers, and contribute to the growth of the Japanese indie gaming scene. 11 years later, it’s fair to say that, while we made mistakes and fell short at times, we achieved what we set out to do and we can call this a ‘WIN’.
The video games industry has changed a lot since we started out, and the tools, resources, and perspective available to Japanese indie devs have broadened and improved to the point where there isn’t much need for a company like ours… and that’s GREAT!! We hope to see more Japanese indie games making it overseas under their own steam (no crappy pun intended)!
So the time has come for us to close the curtain on Nyu Media, but PLEASE NOTE that all games and related DLC in our catalog will remain for sale on Steam, with the exception of the Cherry Tree High games, which will be delisted from all platforms after the final day of this year’s Steam Summer Sale.
For clarity, here is list of our current titles and what will happen to them from July 1st:
The following titles and related OST, etc. will remain on sale on Steam and publishing responsibilities will transfer as follows:
– ALLTYNEX Second (SITER SKAIN) > Henteko Doujin[hendj.com] will become the new publisher
– KAMUI (SITER SKAIN) > Henteko Doujin

– The Tale of ALLTYNEX > Henteko Doujin

On behalf of the past and present members of the Nyu Media team, THANK YOU to all the AWESOME players, press, partners, and others for your support over the years and for making this possible. Please continue to support these games, devs, and the Japanese indie game scene!
Sincerely,
Seon King

Although the games have since become harder to find in English with fewer and fewer keys available from resellers, we described the news about Nyu Media in 2022 as “about as positive an outcome as anyone could hope for: most of their titles will remain on sale while the industry at large has reached a place where even solo developers can create and manage their releases for a global audience directly”.
About the Game
Comedy fanatic and high school student Mairu Hibisu has decided to set up a comedy club in her school, but her nemesis and the head of the student council, Chitose Karasuyama, isn’t about to make things easy… The school rules require a minimum of 5 students to set up a new club and Mairu is 3 people short! Spring break has just started and Mairu has until the end of April to recruit the 3 new members she needs to start the club or Chitose will have the last laugh!
Guide Mairu through idyllic Cherry Tree Town as she makes new friends and endeavors to persuade them to join her high school comedy club in this anime-style comic adventure game.
Explore the town and level up Mairu’s repertoire of conversational topics by reading books, watching TV, etc. then apply them to persuade potential recruits to join your new club. Some topics require money to build up, so you will need to find part time work such as cleaning the local temple and making jewelry accessories.
Developer 773’s game features a host of quirky characters, catchy music, and is a must-play for fans of anime and manga. Laugh and the world laughs with you!
