Mahou Tsukai no Yoru - Witch on the Holy Night is a Visual Novel set in the Nasuverse. Originally a five hundred-page novel penned by Kinoko Nasu, it was never publicly released and only a handful of copies were distributed. It was announced for a visual novel remake on 2008, but it got stuck in Development Hell several times before finally being released on April 12, 2012. A translation of the demo text can be read here.
