This document is best viewed with the original display on the internet, or with a word processor using fixed-width font style. Using some other font styles will make the tables/maps displayed incorrectly. I wish it's fine to say a little bit about this video game in.... perhaps, my subjective side. I could say that this game is quite interesting although I played it around my busy real life. Pardon me to say that I only understand this game only partially although I have done my everything to translate it in between my busy real life. I dunno if you may need more reference about the storyline, and even, for your real life...mm... it's that.. I can't really help you for that matter... So, as always, this FAQ/Walkthrough only contains basic storyline and technical informations inside this game for the reason that I hope you already understand it....

CONTROLS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This game actually gives you some information about the [Control] part at [Online Manual] section in the game's Main Menu that I will say about it later at section: D. Walkthrough. This game accepts PC88 keyboard and joystick. Mainly, this game uses joystick button A or keyboard [Spacebar] or [Return] to advance further in the game, and joystick button B or keyboard [Shift] to make messages display faster. You must use the numpad arrows to make your selection. The other key to use is [CapsLock] to make the beep sound disappears. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. RULES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have to make the storyline advances to see the game's ending. The good news is you don't have "Game Over" for this game. The worst case is only to see your game stuck. You make the storyline advances by choosing the actions or a sequence of actions expected by the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. GENERAL TIPS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think, if you try well enough and if you are experienced in playing video games like this, you have better chance to see the game's ending. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D. WALKTHROUGH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The video game has only 1 disk, and you should insert the floppy disk to the first drive. Firstly, the game intro will be played. Press [Spacebar] key to enter the game's Main Menu. The first menu to the last menu, from the top to bottom: - Start the game This is what this section will talk about. - Read the note from the game developer after making the game You could read it after selecting this option. - Music Mode I will cover it at section E. Music Mode. - Child Making Mode? XD Actually, this will create a duplicate of the floppy disk if you insert a blank disk into the second drive. You have to insert [Y] first into the program. f? - Online Manual You will have the manual of the game from the game developer right here. Sorry for not translating... The game is quite easy to understand in my opinion. The options are just placed neatly at the top-right side of the screen all the time, and you can focus your attention there. The point to explain is only that options that reflect your actions for the character you play, it is: Mariko. Your friend's name is Michiyo, and the boy's name is Hiroshi (thanks to some famous search engine for the info that Hiroshi is a name for male). There are not many characters in this game, such a simple and lovely game, isn't it? ^_^ SCENE 1 ------- -View the surrounding Contains 2 messages. The "message" could be pretty long, but after you see all of the message, you will see the next "message" after choosing the same action/ option again. Choosing the same action/option once more will play the first message again. The same way applies to the other options until there is further note. -Talk to Micchan You will have to select this option to advance the game further until the ball comes to you -_^ -Eat the lunch Contains 3 messages. -Shout Contains 2 messages. After the ball scene, the option number 1,3, and 4 will only contain one message. I'm not sure but from my guess, the attention will be switched onto the boy who "brings" you the ball... You should talk to Micchan (select the second option) twice more to go to the next scene. SCENE 2 ------- -View the surrounding Contains 3 messages. -Resist the sleepiness Contains several messages with some sub-options... -Sleep You should select the second sub-option to progress to Scene 3. -Talk to the author Contains 5 messages. The talk to the author ignites some question about the game's prequel: Splash Act 1. I know nothing about the prequel of this game, and I have searched everywhere as well without any result. SCENE 3 ------- -Think The 4 sub-options are as long as I know, are Chinese proverb that's often used to describe human's emotions. Each of the sub-options have three messages. The third one of each sub-option, I think, does not count as the memory of Mariko. -View the surrounding Contains 3 messages. You must think at least three of the memories of Mariko to make the third message changes into the game progress. -Samba dance Contains 3 messages. -Continue to talk to Bunny. You must select this option to continue to the next scene. -Try to hit the Bunny. -Try to run away from Bunny. SCENE 4 ------- -Talk to Michiyo -Run out from classroom. You must talk to Michiyo three times, at least, then run out from classroom to advance to the next scene. SCENE 5 ------- -View the surrounding Contains 3 messages. -Run Contains 4 messages. -Looking backward/remembering Contains 2 messages. You should see all of those nine messages to progress to the last scene. SCENE 6 ------- There is nothing to choose here. You will automatically advance to the game's ending.
