✿Intro✿
Female detective of mystery, ganki girl of beauty, choose between those two as you company to go through all kinds of challenge. The choice is important, vital even. It'll shift the story into different directions.

✿Storyline✿
Our protagonist, ,Wakui Arata is a student in the artificial city called Senba City.
Senba City, also called Hakoniwa City, is a man-built city.

Some day in October, the MC got a invite from the student union of Tsunubane called Berizurukai.
Union president offered the MC "investigate the campus" quest.

From April this year, there has been a series of shocking events.
During this time, there has been 6 students missing from Tsunubane but due to there's not any witness, the events didn't raise the awareness of citizens.

Although the school has nothing to do with the missing students, they still find it very omnious.
Our MC, though not very willing to, still started to investigate.

He has tried to refuse, but Shizuku forced him to do it or the history that he wrote a very stupid novel before moving here would be exposed.

Arata started unwillingly.
With the cooperation of his only friend, the creepy Iriya Koko, the whole thing got weirder.

The enthusiastic detective Maezono Kirika and the 'creepily' cute Iriya Koko, which one would you choose to accompany you to the end?

"So, Arata, wanna reveal the secret with me?

All the characters in this game are all 18+ years old.

Decent mystery VN ultimately let down by a terrible translation. The art is beautiful, the story was interesting albeit a bit silly at points (it definitely requires a large degree of suspension of disbelief), but the translation is terrible. It's actually hilarious how awful it is. No surprise there, since it's SakuraGame. I'd recommend it only at a steep discount.

It's decent, but nothing ground breaking. I do find some plot relatable and the visual presentation is good. 6.6/10

The logic of the miniature garden is a narrative-driven visual novel developed by Cabbit and published by SakuraGame. Blending mystery, romance, supernatural themes, and investigative storytelling, the game invites players into a carefully constructed world where everyday student life gradually gives way to unsettling secrets and hidden truths. At first glance, the setting appears familiar, but the deeper players venture into the story, the more they uncover a web of mysteries surrounding disappearances, unexplained events, and the strange nature of the city itself. Players assume the role of Wakui Arata, an ordinary student who becomes involved in investigating a series of incidents occurring around his school. What begins as a seemingly straightforward inquiry quickly develops into a much larger mystery. The story excels at creating curiosity through gradual revelations rather than relying on constant shock value. Clues are scattered throughout conversations and events, encouraging players to pay attention to details as they piece together the truth behind the strange happenings. The writing successfully maintains an atmosphere of suspense while balancing lighter character inter…

i had fun the plot was unexpectedly coherent and compact through out the entire timeline. as for the H scene... i mean no i hope you downloaded the patch just out of sheer FOMO(like me), and not because that you genuinely thought this VN had any real gooning potential. MC has 2 sides: the utterly oblivious virgin ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ one and the skillful seasoned sex veteran one. and he really did a good job of pissing me off sometimes my personal favourite highlight moment of the game is when Arata finally gets a voice in a specific ending. It made me actually scream lmao. the sheer impact of hearing him speak after an entire 80hrs of silence was refreshing, and he sounds surprisingly kinda cool too. the love angle is... there?? its neither convincing or novel.(6out of6 all of them girls got some domestic problems and miraculously MC fixes them all by doing the bare minimum or just simply existing lol). the develeopments feel rushed, unrealistic. and maybe its not really that deep... they are high schoolers, oh yeah and this is anime [h1]ENGLISH TRANSLATION: ITS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AWFUL.[/h1] I am 100% sure[spoiler](source:i can read Chinese)[/spoiler] that it was NOT translated from the original Japa…
