Thanks, Famitsu.

Here is the game’s list of characters, voice actors, and live-action actors:
- Aya Fumino (voiced by Noriko Hidaka, live-acted by Ako Yamamoto)
- Yukari Ishihara (voiced by Kikuko Inoue, live-acted by Moa Tsukino)
- Jun Oomori (voiced by Keisuke Koumoto, live-acted by Hideyuki Natsukawa)

The game will feature two modes, “Drama Mode” and “Original Mode.” In Drama Mode, the game’s live-action actors will perform as the characters in the game, both visually and vocally. The game’s setting of Shimane is also depicted in live-action. In Original Mode, the game uses Taro Minobosi’s original artwort and original voice cast. You can switch between these two modes from the title screen.
A resolution chapter that reveals the truth of the ending that was previously untold has also been added. (Note: Potential spoiler ahead.) A heart-warming followup story between the protagonist and heroine has also been added to read.
Other areas of improvements include branching routes, user interface, a skip feature, trophy acquisition conditions, responses, and route clear icons.
Thanks, Ryokutya2089.
