## Description
_Kokoro Connect_ is a non-adult visual novel that originated on PSP, based on
the manga and anime TV series with the same name, but featuring original
scenario. This story focuses on five lead characters: Iori Nagase, Himeko
Inaba, Taichi Yaegashi, Yoshifumi Aoki, and Yui Kiriyama, with scenario and
full voice-acting for each of them, including the protagonist. The player
takes a role of Taichi Yaegashi, a student in a Shiritsuyamahoshi ( 私立山星)
high-school, and a member of a Culture Research Club. After a strange incident
with cardiospermum halicacabum plant, the member of the Culture Research Club
started to experience strange premonitions. During those premonitions, they
would appear at the random place, with the random people at random time, often
finding themselves in a situation very different from their reality.
During the course of the story, point of view jumps from character to
character, and their actions and choices branch the story toward one of the
multiple endings. The game also features story graph which shows you which
direction you took, where did you story branch, and at which point in the
story you currently are. Events in the story can be re-played with the point
of view from multiple characters. Aside from that, the bulk of the game still
consists of the same elements that make a visual novel game what it is…
visual (CG events with anime character art on top of background location art)
and novel (text window during storytelling and fully voice-acted dialogues).
Unlockable bonus content such as event scene galleries and music player, can
be accessed via main menu.
