About this game
A Garden Story Known Only to "Me" and "Him"
◆ About This Game
This game is a visual novel where you progress through the story by deciphering language, similar to solving a puzzle. The protagonist, "Me," will spend 90 days living with "Him," a beastman in a cage. His words are in an unknown language, but you can decipher them based on his reactions and context. By connecting with him, the hidden truth may be revealed.
◆ Story:
War between humans and the beastmen tribes living on the frontier is imminent. The beastmen tribes are said to be extremely violent and unable to communicate. "Me," a linguist who wants to stop the war for a certain reason, proposed to the country to research the beastmen's language and negotiate with them. One day, "Him," a beastman imprisoned in a cage as a research sample, is sent to "Me." The 90-day story of "Me" and "Him" begins here.
◆ System:
Become "Me," a linguist, and decipher the words of "Him," the beastman. The given time limit is 90 days. As you increase the number of words you understand through over 100 topics, special events will occur, deepening your relationship with "Him." Furthermore, you will approach the truth hidden behind the war.
◆ Inspiration:
If you encounter a word that you cannot understand no matter what, use "Inspiration." By doing so, "Me" can flash on the correct answer to the word. Inspiration recovers over time and through events. Please use it strategically. (Inspiration may not be available depending on the difficulty level.)
◆ Dictionary:
Words that have been successfully deciphered are recorded in the dictionary. Please use it when you want to look back on the deciphered words.
◆ Multiple Endings:
There are a total of 8 endings that "Me" and "Him" will reach. What path will the two take beyond the barriers of words and race?
