◈ Features of the game
When you start the game, you can set the Korean name of the main character. It also has a system that changes the survey (i/ga, ah/ya) depending on the presence or absence of the set name, so it is notable that it is configured to increase the user’s immersion.
The game applied a simple and intuitive UI, while adding a sense of sensibility with a luxurious and modern design. Not only does it look neat to the eye, but it also shows the efforts of the development team to improve the game’s completeness by composing the controls easily. Each text and button throughout the game, including the main menu, feels like it was created with an emotional feel.
In addition, the pictures of rain, strong sunlight, and shining night sky are expressed throughout the game as moving cut videos, so that you can feel the visual fun elements along with the emotional feeling.
The developer directly produced the background music so that you can be more immersed in the work while playing the game, and enjoy the work comfortably and stably. The emotional songs composed by the main artist Sono0 can be enjoyed not only in the game but also on the YouTube channel, and we plan to release an album as a soundtrack along with the game’s release. The soundtrack includes not only background music, but also theme songs with real vocals.
The game was designed with great significance in the memories and time of youth created by the space called ‘school’. It is designed so that everyone can look back on memories from school days that everyone can relate to, and reflect on the values of everyday life, and it expresses precious and beautiful materials such as dreams and efforts, relationships and memories, studies and the future in one story.
