Sakura Note
Has anyone heard of this game? It's for the DS and its a lovely game.
I'm not too far into the game but it really gets to you. And to think that I can't read much japanese at all.
Summary from 1UP.com
As far as the game itself goes, it's a story-heavy, overhead-view adventure set within two towns and the surrounding countryside. A new girl, Nanami Yoshida, has just moved in to your neighborhood, and apparently she's being targeted by a local band of ghosts and ghouls. It seems this has something to do with a pair of sakura (cherry blossom) trees that dominate the landscape of both towns, one slowly withering and another one blooming deep into the summertime, as if to make up for its weaker sibling. You, a normal boy, decide to get to the bottom of both mysteries, talking to people and unlocking new story episodes as you go along.
Now what really tugged the strings of my heart is that Toru's dad, Kaname, likes Nanami's mom, Takako. Toru's mom, Haruka, is very upset about this but can't do anything about it. Instead, she confides her feelings to their family cat, Traumelei. And Nanami, who recently moved to town, has only her dog, Reinford (ラインホルド) who will listen to her.
God, what is this game doing to me? ; A ;
