APPLE project

APPLE project is a doujin group that brought together talented individuals, resulting in the release of many great short stories, novel games, and music CDs under their brand. Some of their works were heavily inspired by Tactics’ “ONE -輝く季節” and Key’s “Kanon.” At eien, we have worked diligently to find and archive the visual novel games they released. If you have additional information or need more details about the APPLE project and their releases, feel free to contact us via our contact form or Discord group.

New scans and CD rips are available upon request.

Another ONE

“Another ONE” was the first novel game release and likely also the first release from APPLE project. It was inspired by Tactic’s “~ONE -輝く季節~” and offers short stories which serve as continuations of the plotlines presented in ONE. Later, they used these stories in “Stay. -Fragments of Memories-.”

There are likely to have had been two releases, the first edition on December 23th, 1999 for Comiket 55 with a final release for Comiket 57. Potentially, a third release also exists.

At eien, we only managed to find one digital copy of the first edition. If you have information regarding this game, or scans of the the packaging, please contact us. An eien edition is planned for this entry.

天使のお仕事

-their wishes afterward-

“天使のお仕事 -their wishes afterward-,” (transliterated as “tenshi no oshigoto,” literally “Angel’s Job” or “Work of an Angel”) was the second visual novel release from APPLE project. In contrast to “Another ONE,” this game draws inspiration from “Kanon” and continues Shiori’s storyline.

To our knowledge, there are two versions of this game, both of which we have physical copies of. They were released in 1999 and 2000. The later edition, known as the Final Edition, includes minor improvements over the original, such as additional script and updated computer graphics.

In addition to providing direct rips of both the game disk and packaging scans, we have ported the original visual novel to modern Windows and offer a localized English version. Having said that, it will likely be updated in the near future to also offer the improvements we offer in more recent ports. For more details, visit the project page.

At eien, we have both releases.

Stay. -Fragments of Memories-

Stay. -Fragments of Memories- was the third and last novel game released from APPLE project. Yet again, it is inspired by Tactic’s “~ONE -輝く季節~” and offers short stories which serve as continuations of the plotlines presented in ONE.

Like their previous entries, there are again two releases: simply marked with a slight change in the product code, APL-004 and APL-004A. The first game was released in 2000.

In addition to providing direct rips of both the game disk and packaging scans, we have ported the original visual novel to modern Windows and offer a localized English version. For more details, visit the project page.

At eien we only have the first release, APL-004.

ふぁ~すとふ~ど

“ふぁ~すとふ~ど,” (literally “faaast foood”) was not technically an APPLE project release, but it did feature a demo of APPLE project’s work—specifically a demo for 天使のお仕事 (Angel’s work). The game itself is a compilation of various doujin group game demos from that period.

Only one version is known to exist, released in 2001.

Eien owns a copy of this game. Please note that there are no plans for an Eien edition of this game collection.

Final Notes

On this page, we have tried to archive all APPLE project game releases. We have also tried to give concise documentation for each release we are aware of. In case you need help with the files, want to request new scans or rips, or have suggestions, please contact us through our contact form or on Discord.

Besides us, other people have already archived some of APPLE project releases, which we would like to quickly mention:
RyanTheArchivist has both archived “天使のお仕事 -their wishes afterward- Final Edition” and “ふぁ~すとふ~ど” on archive.com.
Likewise, Sep7em has archived “Stay. -Fragments of Memories- (APL-004A)“.
Their scans and game files have helped up build our archive. Please check their archive.com pages for other archived media.

Acknowledgements

All the media, and the revamped eien editions, were made in large part due to the contribution of many people. First, we would like to thank all APPLE project members for creating the media in the first place: Haz, Manack, PRIMIL, あらどん, くない瓜, ことの, ぱきら, みやぞう, みらゐ, 河原, and 猫野. Many of these members have continued pursuing other creative projects like the Game company ALcot, or in the case of REM, continuing making new songs. We suggest you try looking up some of their names and supporting their new projects!
