The studio began its work in the late 1990s with a single release, but output grew significantly in the 2000s when they produced nine games. Production slowed slightly in the 2010s to seven titles and has remained low in the 2020s with only three releases so far. The company focuses heavily on the visual novel genre, which accounts for 19 of their listed works. They also have a smaller presence in adventure games with seven entries, while other genres like turn-based strategy, fighting, and simulation appear just once or twice. Their games are primarily designed for PC on Microsoft Windows, appearing on that platform in 19 cases. They have also released content for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation Vita, but their reach to handheld consoles and mobile devices is very limited with only a handful of ports each.
