In a world where flying through the sky is as simple as riding a bicycle, the sport "Flying Circus" is all the rage. Following the discovery of anti-gravitons, special shoes that allow an individual to fly, Anti-Graviton Shoes, took the world by storm. The story tells of a sophomore, Masaya Hinata, in a world where flying is possible thanks to the invention of anti-gravity shoes (known as "Grash" which was coin-up term for "Gravity Shoes") that anyone can afford. With the new ability, the world has invented a new sport known as "Flying Circus". Masaya participated in that sport some time ago, but after repeated defeats and constant frustration he got fed up with it and left the team. But after meeting Asuka Kurashina, a transfer student, his fire to experience the glory days got lit again. But his feelings for sport aren't the only thing that brought him joy. It was his feelings for Asuka, and their participation in this sport together, side by side, facing the opponents. It's a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Masaya Hinata. Much of its gameplay is spent on reading the story's narrative and dialogue. The text in the game is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Masaya is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. The game follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction. There are four main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each heroine. Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. Some decisions can lead the game to end prematurely, which offer an alternative ending to the plot. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. Throughout gameplay, there are scenes with sexual CGs depicting Masaya and a given heroine having sex. Initially in Japanese, an official English release came out in 2019. | ||
