The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A quiet, slow-burning visual novel about returning home and reconnecting with old friends, where wistful nostalgia and underlying emotional tension shape a gentle, drama-tinged romance.

About

Myself; Yourself is a visual novel romantic adventure game based on the light novel (followed by an anime) with the same name released earlier the same year. The game is set in a fictional rural town called Sakuranamori, which is suited near the ocean coast. The story offers two scenarios, one played as a Sana Hidaka, a 16-year old high-school student who returns to his hometown after five years, reuniting with his friends and noticing changes in places and people alike. The other chapter follows the story of Shusuke Wakatsuki, a childhood friend of Sana who is living in Sakuranamori with his twin sister Shuri. Two stories will vary in mood and style as both of them have different personalities, and romantic partners for both of them will be different heroines.
