Hourglass of Summer *

The story revolves around a Japanese sophomore named Kotaro Makimura. As the school year ends and summer vacation approaches, he decides to admit his feelings to his crush, the beautiful Kaho Serizawa. As hopeless as the situation looks to his best friends Ai and Takeshi, he is determined to make Kaho his girlfriend by the end of summer vacation. However, on his way home, he has a collision with a mysterious stranger, and ends up getting covered in a strange multi-colored powder. When he wakes up the next day, he finds himself waking up on September 1st - the first day of the next school year. He also learns that Kaho, who had been his girlfriend, had died in a car accident. Eventually, Kotaro discovers that he has begun day-dropping, in which he skips days, and goes back and forth in time through different days of the summer vacation. With the help of Ligene the Time Patroller (also translated as Lee Jane), Kotaro must win Kaho's heart and prevent her tragic death before he runs out of time.

Although Kaho is the girl that Kotaro aspires for at the beginning of the game, the player can choose different decisions that will eventually lead him to relationships with one of the other four girls. Of course, the wrong decisions could result in an ending in which Kotaro wins the affections of none of them. Although the objective of the game is to become the boyfriend of one of the girls, some of these other endings can be the only way to view certain images not found in the other paths.

Hoping this is gonna be worth it... btw, is this eroge?

It's an ordinary visual novel with a great story.
:D

Huzzah! If this is worth it, +rep to you PersonDude.

I would be more grateful if it has a Torrentz.

Is this already translated too?

How long would you say this game is?

Sh!t

My Internet just failed me now! dammit, 3 hours of downloading part1 is down the drain!

PersonDude, if you could create (or find) a torrent for this, i'd be eternally grateful to you!!!

The pictures are just TEMPTING ME!

Thanks for the torrent link. This looks like an interesting VN to play out. X_x so much stuff to download now.

Seeing this as an interactive DVD without installation, it is like some sort of anime + VN? Interesting concept :)

Thanks for sharing, +rep for you

Here is where I got it from.

What kind of media player did you use for this? The only one that I have right now that sorta plays it is Windows Media Player and I get the impression that it is rather glitchy. The person keeps on talking but the subtitle never changes for a long time. Would that be normal?

Well I did download your extract but I still have the huge gaps in the subtitles. When I tried windvd, the player would not open the .ifo file. Maybe I am missing a codec or something.
