Two more stretch goals were added. As of press time the campaign has raised 114,015,515 yen and runs until October 31.
The campaign cleared its 30,000,000 yen target within the first hour and has kept going, sitting at 114,015,515 yen as of press time, with the run open until October 31. The money covers more than a port: the first stretch goal adds a planned console release alongside the announced Steam, iOS, and Android versions, though the specific console has not been named. Two further goals were added after the initial set, expanding the art book to include all art and moving toward multiple console versions.
