Visual Novel Wonderful Everyday Released On Steam by Publisher Frontwing
Tokyo, Japan – July 17, 2017 Tokyo-based visual novel developer and publisher Frontwing has released visual novel “Wonderful Everyday ~Diskontinuierliches Dasein~” on Steam.
“Wonderful Everyday ~Diskontinuierliches Dasein~” is the English localization of developer KeroQ's title “Subarashiki Hibi ~Furenzoku Sonzai~”, commonly abbreviated to simply “Subahibi”. “Wonderful Everyday” is an adult-oriented visual novel, produced and written by SCA-DI, which features dark themes and heavy philosophical explorations. The story follows the lives of Yuki Minakami, Zakuro Takashima, Takuji Mamiya, and others, during the weeks leading up to a significant event in their lives. The English release of “Wonderful Everyday” is hotly anticipated, and the original Japanese “Subarashiki Hibi” won the “Best Story” prize at the 2010 Moe Game Awards, and consistently ranks among the top titles on visual novel databases and ranking sites.
The first chapter of “Wonderful Everyday”, “Down the Rabbit-Hole”, is available
now on Steam in late August with a regular price of $29.99 USD. For the first
week, there is a 20% discount on the game. The Steam store page for the
game can be accessed from the following URL:

The remaining content of the game is available at no cost in the form of a free
adult content patch, which expands the Steam release to the full version of the
game. The resolution of the game has been increased from its original release
to 1280 x 960; additionally, the game will feature no mosaic censorship, and
assets have been redrawn to accommodate this change. All details regarding
the adult patch can be found at the following URL:

Frontwing ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for “Wonderful Everyday” with the purpose of making physical copies and a wide array of related goods for the game available to fans overseas. The campaign surpassed its initial goal of $80,000 to reach a final total of $105,928, and a $90,000 stretch goal was funded to create an English translation of an official “Wonderful Everyday” spinoff manga. Frontwing hopes to fund a further $120,000 stretch goal, allowing for the translation of the “Wonderful Everyday” artbook, through addons and preorder sales on BackerKit. Most rewards from the campaign are currently available through public BackerKit preorders, which can be accessed at the following URL: https://subahibi.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
This release marks Frontwing's first collaboration with KeroQ for overseas audiences, and further collaboration is currently being considered for potential future projects.
