Setting[]
The game is set on the Far Side of the Moon Cell, where BB used her abilities to create the Sakura Labyrinth. She brought over various Masters and Servants from the Moon Cell Holy Grail War on the Near Side, some taken instantly before their deletion and others brought during the sixth week. The story is more similar to a Sakura route like the Rin and Rani routes of Extra. It has been described as a kind of "Heaven's Feel" route for the setting and similar to Fate/hollow ataraxia in nature.

Gameplay[]
Fate/EXTRA CCC has the same game mechanics as Fate/EXTRA with additional changes. The combat UI (user interface) has changed appearance and location. Players can now escape battles and dungeon floor level. Each servant has more combat animations and has had their Noble Phantasm animation changed. One of the noticeable changes is there are more voice recordings in cutscenes.
Whereas each servant was tied to a difficulty in Fate/EXTRA, these two concepts are separate in CCC. When first launching the game, the player chooses one of three difficulties, then a servant with a fighting style: Saber is “standard”, Archer is “technical”, Caster is “maniac” and Gilgamesh is “cheat”.
Both genders of the Protagonist and the Servants will each have an alternate costume. There will be additional costumes for the Servants, and a save game from Fate/EXTRA will give the player character an alternate school gym outfit.
All of the Characters have a Secret Garden and Punish Start session (if you collect enough information on the SG). It shows the fetishes, likes, dislikes, etc. The Secret Gardens may be Male pictures (if you choose the female protagonist, except for your Servants and bosses) or Female Pictures (if you choose the male protagonist, except for your Servants and bosses).
Besides bad ends caused by game overs, the game has three possible endings: the CCC ending (commonly known as “True ending”, from the Fate/stay night routes system), Servant ending and normal ending. The CCC ending is unlocked by doing specific actions and selecting specific dialogue choices throughout the game. The Servant ending is unlocked by earning the three Secret Gardens for the starting servant (with the exception of Archer if the protagonist is male, who only needs two Secret Gardens since the third is locked for this specific configuration).

Fate/EXTRA CCC is a companion game of Fate/EXTRA, serving as the "Heaven's Feel" route, that was announced in September 2011 for release in the winter of 2012. The official release date was pushed back a second time with its release date set at February 21, 2013. The second trailer states that the game's release date once again delayed to March 28, 2013. Unlike the first game, TYPE-MOON promised the gamers that Fate/EXTRA CCC will have more voice acting.
It is confirmed to have the TYPE-MOON Virgin White Box as the Limited Edition of the game, which contains a Saber Bride figma, an artbook titled Fate/EXTRA CCC Visual Works, a sticker set of the chibi-sized four playable Servants, and a Saber Character CD with Sakura TangeWP, her voice actor, performed her three character songs. For those who pre-order the game will be rewarded Virgin Bride. Virgin Bride is a similar item with Fate/the Fact, only this time the contents are hinted to be a serial of movies, hinted as each characters' episodes.
It was planned around the time Fate/EXTRA went on sale, but put on hold until they knew if people wanted a sequel. Aside from the staff requesting Jinako Carigiri, Kinoko Nasu had far more free range with the story than with EXTRA, so he was able to write as he pleased. He feels the tone of the story is more seinenWP compared to Fate/stay night's shonenWP feel. The reason for the delay is that the prototype version felt much like a rehash of the first game, so they decided to redo the environments from scratch after getting a two-month extension from the company. Nasu decided to expand the scenario, but it required another extension after he realized he couldn't make it in the two months. He believes that it will likely be his finale for writing the Fate series, not including other guest writers.[3]

TYPE-MOON Ace 8 Fate/EXTRA CCC Nasu and Takeuchi interviews - Pages 11-12, 39-43 Nasu:
At first I'd aimed for CCC to be something that can be enjoyed on its own, even more so with EXTRA. And that EXTRA can be enjoyed even more with CCC, like Fate/hollow ataraxia to Fate/stay night.
But as I wrote the scenario, I became aware of a desire to state the "answer" of the Fate series, which has been continuing for almost ten years now.
After ten years, I finally realized that "this is what I wanted to say with the Fate series." If I'm able to complete this, then there'll no longer be anything left for me to say. - ↑ https://vgmdb.net/album/36346
