Recombination of comic materials
The game doesn't just change the short story of the same name into frame-by-frame graphics, but instead selects characters and scenes from multiple manga by Tsuge Yoshiharu, connecting them into an exploration. Readers familiar with the original work can recognize fragments from different chapters, and the order of encounters in the game is organized within a new story framework.
Explore with people
Players advance through commands to communicate, observe, and move, advancing through locations where reality and dreamlike intertwine. Sayoko from 'Benika' and characters related to 'Gensenkan Master' appear in the exploration. The characters are still related to their respective comics, but events rearranged in the game cannot be rewritten as the original manga plot.
Visuals and narration
The game presents scenes and characters in a comic-style style, with a public review highlighting the use of monochrome graphics. Conversations and scene transitions share the narrative, not just flipping through scanned pages of comics. Incoherent encounters and dreamlike associations in the work cause different players to interpret their experiences differently.
