## Description
_PachiPara 12: Ōumi to Natsu no Omoide_ is one of the many titles in Irem’s
long-running pachinko simulation series. It features faithful 3D recreations
of two pachinko machines made by Sanyo Bussan: _CR Ōumi Monogatari M56_ and
_CR Ōumi Monogatari M2_. There are two modes available: _Ts ūjō_ (normal) mode
allows the player to modify a wide range of settings for each machine, while
_Jissen_ (battle) mode challenges the player to win as many balls as possible
on the default settings with a limited starting pool and time limit. There is
also a view mode where the various animations that play on the in-game display
can be freely viewed.
The story mode this time is _Pachi-Pro F ūunroku 4: Gindama Satsujin Jiken_,
which introduces a new story set in Showa-era Gindama. The game has been
redesigned from the ground up using the Steambot Chronicles engine, and is a
murder mystery with a heavy emphasis on investigation. The player can choose
either a male or female character, and can freely explore the town on foot,
visit pachinko parlors, restaurants, and various shops, go fishing, go on
dates, and a variety of other activities. The apartment customization from the
previous games has also returned, and there is also a day/night cycle that
dictates when shops are open for business.
