To Heart 2

Takaaki Kono is a high school student who has troubles understanding girls, and cannot quite imagine starting a romantic relationship with one of them. He sees the childish and cheerful Konomi Yuzuhara, his childhood friend, as a younger sister. However, relationships between boys and girls rarely remain innocent, and Takaaki begins to feel that perhaps he is able to see Konomi differently. It all becomes even more complicated when another female childhood friend of Takaaki's returns to town, and when he realizes that there might be other young women in his school who might become interested in him. To Heart 2 isn't directly connected story-wise to To Heart, though it has similar setting and themes. The game is essentially a visual novel, with much of the story evolving automatically, displayed as text descriptions and dialogues superimposed on still anime-style images. The player is prompted to make decisions from time to time, which will influence the course of the story. The game is divided into school days; at the end of each day, the player can choose a location among several ones available for Takaaki to visit. Locations are accompanied by portraits of corresponding girls, making it more clear to the player which relationship he'll be promoting by making his choice.
