Their latest game as of 2007 is ''[[Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two.]]''. Their most successful game is ''[[Wind: A Breath of Heart|Wind]]'', which has had a [[manga]], [[anime|TV animation series]], and [[original video animation]] based on it, and has been ported to the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Dreamcast]].
