About the Game

While you're helping out as an audio tech at the Shionari Tanabata festival, you cross paths with four unique girls. Each of them is charming in her own way, but while you're open to the idea of dating, you firmly believe that one should only date someone who is obviously your fated partner, and that the signs will all be there. But then you all end up in the same mystical place at the same time, so what if one of them is...?

Read this amusing story about a stubborn protagonist and the four cute girls with whom he has some sort of connection, and see how he grows to consider whether destiny really is as heavy-handed as he thinks.

Read a Romantic Comedy

You may be stubborn, but with destiny subtly slapping you in the face with four different options, each of whom has her own uniquely distinct personality, how can you not start to reconsider? Read along to see how the protagonist starts to open up to alternatives.

Standard Visual Novel Mechanics

You might want to skip text you've already read or hide the text window to get a full view of the artwork, and this game will let you do just that, along with everything else you've come to expect of a visual novel.
