07th Expansion is a Japanese dōjin circle specialized in the creation of visual novels. They started out drawing for the trading card game Leaf Fight, but are better known for creating the game series When They Cry. The remake games on additional consoles for Higurashi When They Cry were produced by Alchemist.

History

Started off producing original cards for the trading card game called Leaf Fight as a way to present their work. They would sell their works at various events including Comiket where they met BT who later became the manager of their homepage. After two years of selling cards they began thinking about switching to another genre. During this time, Tsukihime by Type Moon rose in popularity opening the door for many aspiring doujin circles including 07th Expansion as co-founder Yatazakura began learning how to use NScripter. Along with Ryukishi07, they began their attempt at making a visual novel using a scrapped stage play written by Ryukishi07 called Hinamizawa Bus Stop as the main part. This would later be turned into their first work Higurashi When They Cry.
