This is volume zero for a digital series that allows you a small amount of choice on what happens. It's basically a preview to help you decide whether you want to purchase issue one (1.99USD). It introduces the characters in 4 short stories.
Try to remember that, though this is on the US market, it is in fact entirely in Japanese. I am always a bit bothered by things released to multiple markets without translations. That will cost it some points in my review.
You can choose any of the stories to go through from the list. The titles are in English and Japanese. Once chosen, the story begins.
You can read what the characters say. There is usually one choice you will have to make per story. I will share some sample pages below.
When you have a choice it will give you a few options to choose from. You can try replaying each story and making different choices each time. What happens differently?
Back to the main screen...
There are a few buttons under the story choices that I'm going to go over. First of which (On the far bottom left) is the save and load feature. If you want to save your progress you can do so here. Want to pick up in a story where you left off? This is the place for that as well.
The other two options are basically just information. There's also a link to the website (It's not an actual link, it's just written out. You'd need to manually type it into your browser).
A quick note. If you switch apps in the middle of using this application... When you switch back the app will start over again (Relaunch). All data not saved before switching will be lost.
Te graphics are alright. The music is nice and the stories are pretty simple. It's a good preview for the future volumes (Of which there is currently only one). I think if you can read them, you'll enjoy them. However, if you can not read Japanese, you'll likely not enjoy them. This isn't the sort of story that can be followed without the dialog. I really do wish they would have ut the effort into translating this. it would not have been difficult or taken much time on their part. I am a bit disappointed in this fact. Which is why their score will be slightly lower.
