The Story

Hikari Washington, who was not accepted at her first-choice high school, enrolled in a rural high school of her second choice, but was having a hard time making friends and spending the month of April in school in a depressed mood.One day after school, while killing time at a family restaurant near the school, I found Sakura Oklahoma, who goes to the same junior high school, working part-time, and we exchanged contact information.The next day, while on his way to school, he receives a call from the school that the school is closed, but on the way he passes a police car...

The System

Each character uses unique skills to solve problems.There are a number of interactive objects in the field that may provide hints or help in the quest.The interactions are very realistic.For example, bringing a study desk to climb a high place solves the problem, and forgetting a bag with a commuter pass in it at school or elsewhere will prevent the station gates from opening.It is up to the user to decide whether the character who owns the bag should go get it or ask a classmate to bring it back.And exploring a vast field on foot is not efficient.Trains and buses can be used to travel farther and faster.There are as many ways to complete the quest as there are players, depending on who uses which objects where and when.
