Legal Note: Downloading repacks of copyrighted games exists in a legal gray area. While the original developers (C:drive) are defunct, intellectual property rights may still be held by successor companies. We strongly encourage purchasing a legitimate copy if one becomes available on platforms like DLsite (sold as Gakuen de Jikan yo Tomare: Complete Edition). Use repacks only if you already own a legal copy but cannot run it due to DRM.
