Their first release, as sakevisual, was the freeware otome game RE: Alistair . On April 10, 2010, they released an improved version of the game with more scenes and additional content under the name RE: Alistair ++ . sakevisual released other freeware games, but in 2010 they introduced the Green Tea Line , a series of commercial games.

Jisei and Kansei are the first two games in the Green Tea Line and the first two parts of the Jisei Murder Mystery series .
