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. Cherry Tree High Comedy Club and Cherry Tree High I! My! Girls! were two others.
As 2022 drew to a close and Nyu Media was unable to get in touch with eXceed developer Flat Software/Tennen-sozai, they announced on December 22nd, 2022 that the three titles (eXceed – Gun Bullet Children, eXceed 2nd – Vampire REX, eXceed 3rd – Jade Penetrate Black Package, and the eXceed Collection bundle) would be delisted on Steam on January 6th, 2023.
The eXceed series games and OSTs will be DELISTED from Steam on Jan 6th! We’ve almost completed the process of transitioning our titles back to their respective developers before Nyu Media shuts up shop for good.
The eXceed series are the last titles to go, but unfortunately the developer has dropped out of contact so we’re unable to hand over publishing to them. As such, we will delist the eXceed series titles from Steam on January 6th.
Hopefully the developer will get back in contact and continue selling the titles between now and then, but we can’t guarantee this will happen or if the titles will ever be sold on Steam (or anywhere else) again. Bottom line: if you’re thinking of picking up the eXceed series (great games, btw!!), now is the time to do it! Wishing a very happy holiday and AWESOME 2023 to all!
Steam Announcement – December 22nd, 2022
Downloads of the English language releases 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. As of April 2023 some Steam download codes were available from various key reseller sites. The original retail releases of the games are also available though admittedly hard to find online.
About the Game
Humanity is at war against vampires and deviants. Mankind’s last line of defense is a group of children trained to wield powerful magic that can rival the demonic hordes, but at the cost of most of their lifespan. Likened to bullets of a gun, they are known as the ‘Gun Bullet Children’.
The time is NOW! A vampire invasion force has been detected in the airspace above Tokyo Portal 5. Preliminary reports indicate over 500 vampires and accompanying Killings Dolls with reinforcing hordes of deviant humans. The first line of defenses has been obliterated and the Gun Bullet Children are scrambled to launch a counter-assault and stop the invasion.
