## Description
_Soft de Hard na Monogatari_ is the third entry in System Sacom’s _Novel
Ware_ series. The story has humorous overtones and deals with production of
computer games. The protagonist is the son of a software company manager and
has to fill in as a temporary leader when his father falls sick and is
hospitalized. Himself an avid gamer, the young boss has to use his employee’s
strengths and his own imagination to produce a successful game such as the
“Nobara Series” _DAME_ (an obvious parody of DOME).
Gameplay-wise, the game abandons the adventure format with its set verb-object
commands and interaction with the environment, and plays more like a visual
novel with light simulation elements. The player has to make choices for the
protagonist, which will advance in-game time and ultimately influence the
outcome of the story. It is possible to talk to the employees, check out
planned software releases, and make other decisions crucial for the company
and the hero’s success.
