Summary

■Let's begin with a story synopsis!

Maybe that was the early-blooming black lily's curse...

Eighteen years have passed since the containment of the threatening virus CLII, which decimated over half of the minors in the population.

Although people have returned to their normal lives, a mark was left on society.

Hana Sasamori is a third-year student at the Naeshiro Private High School in Sapporo.

She is a rather quiet girl, but inside, she feels restless.

Just before graduation, Hana finds herself reliving the same day over and over.

That's right... I'm in love with her.

More than anything, Hana wishes for the happiness of Itsuki, who came to her help in the past.

There is little she wouldn't do for her.

Hana thinks...

She probably doesn't want me to hold onto such a feeling...

Being an adolescent, she thought it was just a phase that deserved to be suppressed.

Nevertheless, together with that realization came a curse.

This is a story of love and malediction, of persistence and sorrow, a story set in the meandering space between two people looking for each other.




This game uses a few systems that you may not see in a traditional adventure game!
 


・While making choices throughout your adventure, you can activate Interruption Choices at any time.
This will allow you to naturally open up alternate paths during conversations.
In this game, the player can activate Interruption Choices whenever they see fit.
You'll also need to enter words manually in order to create options, so this is a system that allows you to shape your own destiny!


・The "Memorize" system, used for saving keywords
The words you'll enter into your Interruption Choices are sprinkled throughout the story.
The Memorize System will allow you to collect and review these words!


・The "Assistive Setting System" allows you to select the difficulty that suits your play style.
Although this is an adventure game, there are settings available for choosing different difficulty levels.
Casual mode provides hints and automatically adds words to the Memorize system,
while the Pro mode offers no hints and provides a fun challenge.



Character Introduction



Hana Sasamori(CV:Chikano Ibuki)
Hana Sasamori is the game's main character and relies on the player's decisions.
Although she may appear calm and reserved, her inner self is rather tempestuous.
She has a naïve side to her, but is always understanding and respectful to others.

That being said, she doesn't usually assert her opinion, and can easily get flustered.
For this reason, she tends to show unexpected reactions, but this aspect of her personality is also appreciated by Itsuki and Aoi.
Having a sense of gratitude toward Itsuki for her help during junior high school, she is determined to return the favor somehow.

Hana hoped that her lonesomeness would fade away in the time before graduation, but that was not withstanding a tragic event that would befall her dearest Itsuki.


Itsuki Omiya(CV:Miho Ichidera)
Itsuki is a former member of the track team who can get along with anyone, with a bubbly and slightly boyish temperament.
In the span of a minute, she can show a wide variety of emotions, from smiling to pouting, laughing to crying.
Hana finds these mood changes enticing.

Itsuki had to retire early from the track team.

She asked Hana for help with her studies, and it was decided that they would go to the same university.
However, as graduation drew near, a secret she had been keeping from everyone grew heavier on her mind.
Then one day, she exclaimed, "Let's write all that is left undone. On the word cards!" She had brought a set of such cards with her. 

It always seemed as if nothing could alter her joviality.

Aoi Nishiki(CV:Aoi Kureha)
Cool-headed and serene, she spends much of her time with Hana and Itsuki.
She often finds herself acting as a coordinator between them, as Hana is so indecisive, and Itsuki so exuberant.

This role gives her an adult air, yet she enjoys poking fun at others, especially Hana and Itsuki whose exchanges never fail to amuse her.

A shark movie freak, she gets inexplicably excited about this movie genre.

She lives next door to Ai Isshiki, with whom she has had a sisterly relationship since they were kids.

Ai Isshiki(CV:Chisato Satsuki)
A talkative and friendly young girl.
She has been chatty and restless since she was a kid, to the point of making those around her uneasy.
With her emotions on full display, people can't help but grow fond of her transparent way of being.

As an only child, she became close to her neighbor and childhood friend Aoi, viewing her as an older sister.

However, a certain incident created some distance between them.
