Well, it was inevitable, given that Narcissu side 2nd already had unusually high production values for a freeware doujin game. The fact that Kataoka paid eufonius to do the theme song and still manage to keep Narci2 free is an amazing feat in and of itself. I assume it got to the point where they could no longer keep consistent quality and keep it free at the same time.
Having other well-known writers in the eroge community write a few of the stories probably did it as well.
And from what I hear from discussions about it, some parts of it
are vaguely connected to the previous works while others are not.
Yeah, I was going, "Huh. Nice. An opening. Didn't expect that. Whoa it actually has some animations. Wait a second...eufonius? Eufonius....EUFONIUS!?"
