Visual Art's' originally published the game under its Key label in 2004 for Windows PC. Game publisher Prototype ported the game on to PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable in 2006 and 2009, respectively. Sekai Project released the game worldwide on Steam in September 2014.
A light novel written by Yuuichi Suzumoto and illustrated by E-ji Komatsu was bundled with the limited edition of the physical Windows release and the PS2 port. It is made up of four chapters—"Snow Globe," "Jerusalem," "Hoshi no Hito," and "Tircis to Aminte." Visual Art's republished the novel under its VA Bunko imprint in October 2008.
In 2016, David Production animated the original visual novel into a five-episode series that was streamed on Nico Nico Douga between July 7 and August 4. The third side story, "Hoshi no Hito," also received a theatrical anime adaptation that was screened in September of the same year.
