About

Sound Novel Evolution 1 - Otogirisou Sosei-Hen is the first game in the Chunsoft Play Novel series for the Playstation One console, which presents a pre-set (and only slightly interactive) story presented with text and backed up with graphics and background music and even terrifying jolts from the DualShock controller! This edition also featured an input for character names so players could customize their storytelling experience.
