The compound phrase describes the action of acquiring, without cost, a computer-based version of a visual novel titled “Summer Clover.” This typically involves accessing a digital file, designed to be executed on a personal computer, from an online source. The phrase suggests the availability of the software at no monetary charge to the end-user.
The appeal of acquiring software in this manner stems from the potential elimination of financial barriers to access and the convenience of immediate digital delivery. Historically, such distributions have been both legitimate, through developer-sponsored promotions or open-source initiatives, and illegitimate, via unauthorized file sharing. The risks associated with the latter can include malware infections and copyright infringement.
