[edit] Light novel
After the game, the Polyphonica series expanded into a light novel series. The stories are loosely connected in a shared universe setting. The novels are published by GA Bunko, a division of Softbank Creative. Currently, there are four series running, each uniquely identified with colors. The "Black" series happened in the same timeline as the "Crimson" series, who follows the main characters of the game. The "White" series seems to happens in the distant past.
