Ep. 5: Eriri retreats to Nasu Kogen villa as game production delays mount

5

Game development faces significant setbacks due to script rewrites and new character routes, causing Eriri to fall behind on her artwork. Utaha criticizes the output, noting that the quality does not match the time invested. Despite these concerns and the pressure of the deadline, Tomoya maintains his faith in Eriri’s ability to finish the work. Consequently, Eriri isolates herself at her family’s villa in Nasu Kogen to concentrate fully on her tasks without distraction. This withdrawal marks a critical period for the project as the team struggles to meet their schedule while maintaining artistic standards under the strain of extended production timelines.
