Uuu, goodie: free eroge isn't something we see every day. So if your wanking materials were getting dangerously thin, or perhaps you have yet to taste the
potentially-illegal pleasures of ero-games, hidden behind countless clicks and walls of kanji... well, now's your chance. This year's visual novel
Se.Kirara is being re-released as a free download, after having been pulled over plagiarism concerns last month.

Se.kirara is the debut eroge created by studio Max Factory, and it was originally released in March 2010 as a free download via the Nico Nico Douga website (Japan's YouTube of sorts). The following month, however, the game came under attack for having plagiarized real-life photos, which were only cheaply filtered and then used as in-game backgrounds. As a result, the free download offer was suspended, until all the dubious scenes were re-drawn - leading to this week's re-release.
This new version of Se.Kirara packs around 1.4 GB, and can be downloaded from the dedicated
Nico Nico channel to which the official website's download section relays. For that, you need an account there (easy enough to
register), and then join that channel - just click the huge buttons on the channel's page (via
San'plex). An updated
patch v1.2 is also available for download from the game's website.
Or, if you'd rather see how it looks first, our local Se.Kirara
gallery and
trailers should come in handy. As should a new pack of tissues.
