Shirogane no Torikago: The Angels with Strange Wings
Two hundred years ago a great war almost wiped out mankind from the face of
the Earth. Survivors of the war decided to start anew and slowly rebuilt the
towns while relying on steam trains as a transportation to connect the towns
around the globe. Over time, children with inexplicable new powers were born
into this world. Afraid of anything they could not explain, people sent all
such children to Roddo Town, a town isolated from the rest of the world by a
great steel wall. It is also the town the game takes place in. The player
controls Woll, a kid living in Roddo Town who possesses the ability to see
past memories of objects. One day, having used his powers to fix a broken TV,
Woll is summoned to the town’s mayor’s office. There he is given the task to
fix a 200 year old plane in order to access a long-lost pre-war technology.
For Woll and a few other children, this was but a stepping point toward the
journey that will impact the new world as they know it.
As with many visual novels, the bulk of the gameplay consists of reading the
story as it unfolds, while basic support for auto-message display or manual
on-click display is provided, as well as a back log to check dialogues the
player might have missed. Extras section also contain unlockable gallery with
CG (computer graphics) and BGM (background music).
