The general story starts with Atsuya being recruited to find an entrant for the Kazana Academy Christmas beauty pageant, which is really a proxy for choosing which route you want to play. Stunning art, even with the occasional numbers overlaid over it. Noeri also has several entertaining moments as she tries to be the dependable younger sister to Atsuya, but she can’t because he has his act together too much for her to be able to. The one that stood out the most to me was Himari, partly because she was completely different from how I expected her to be, and she has some of the best back-and-forths with Atsuya.
At first, they come across as fairly standard, but they grow more interesting as the story develops and through their interactions with Atsuya. It also certainly helps that all of the characters are entertaining and endearing. The removal of the map screen ultimately doesn’t change a whole lot, with the game showing more of each character instead of allowing the player to limit their interactions to push for a certain route. The lack of a map screen and general increase in linearity was jarring and disappointing initially, but the simplified structure grew on me, especially with how it expedites later playthroughs. This can happen the first time if you expect there to be more choices, but there are plenty of scenes with each character even if you don’t specifically spend time with them. Since you need to choose a character’s scene both times it’s available to be able to choose their route, the only way to get a bad ending is by only spending time with each character once in the common route. Map navigation from the Da Capo games is gone, and there are no choices at all in the individual routes. There are only five choices in the common route: four chances to choose one of two characters to spend time with and then choosing a route. At first, only Noeri, Io, Hazuki and Himari’s routes are available, with Ame’s route unlocking once you finish the other four. The story is somewhat more straightforward than Da Capo II or III, with a relatively linear common route that only has a few choices. In addition to the main girls he also meets Yamato Tsujitani, the mischievous member of the underground newspaper club at the school, and occasionally gets called by his younger sister Mei checking up on him. After arriving, he meets Student Council President and school idol Hazuki Murasaki, his younger cousin Noeri Fujishiro, the distant beauty Himari Asamiya, the self-proclaimed “Daughter of Darkness” Io Kozuki, and the Caretaker of Paradise and avatar of the island’s overseeing Paradise System computer Ame. It follows protagonist Atsuya Takamura (by default, although the player can rename him), who moves to the island to begin school at Kazana Academy.
