Kokoro no Tobira

Kokoro no Tobira is a remake of a PC title that saw release in October 2003. You play as a character asked by his sick sister to share with her a picture book that he made. Inevitably, this leads to romantic entanglements with a group of young girls, including Yukina Sakura, Yun Kitami, Nanami Mizuhara, Kaori Kashima, and Mayuko Hatuse. Gameplay is of the traditional Japanese adventure variety -- use a simple text-based conversation and single-screen navigation system to get around and make friends, then watch animated anime cutscenes of the events unfold. Kokoro no Tobira translates to "Closet of the Heart."

It's important to keep memories from fading and to this end, maintaining a picture book with integral cues and photos from the past is a step in the right direction. Interact with five lovely maidens, including the impressively endowed Mayuko Hatuse, and attempt to win a happy ending by way of keeping interactions recorded in a book. Photos, important moments and other good times may be stamped onto the virtual pages for posterity.

Updates in the PS2 version include a new game scenario, voice action and a new opening cinema. A limited edition of Kokoro no Tobira which includes a bonus DVD containing artwork in a virtual photo file is also available today.
