About this game
Every person you choose leaves someone else behind.
After waking from an unsettling dream, high school student Kanata Tanaka begins to notice small fractures in his ordinary life.
The same classroom.
The same family.
The same friends.
The same familiar town.
Everything looks the way it always has—yet something feels wrong.
And at the center of it all is an old book.
TOKIORIKI is a psychological mystery visual novel about spending limited time, building relationships, and living with the possibilities you leave behind.
Your afternoons are limited
Each afternoon gives you only a limited number of Action Points.
Meet a friend.
Visit the library.
Explore the town.
Go straight home.
The time you spend with someone may bring you closer.
But every person you choose is someone else you may not get to see.
The story changes not only through what you do, but also through the moments you allow to pass.
Some choices will not wait
At critical moments, Shadow Choices will appear.
Choose.
Refuse.
Or hesitate until the opportunity disappears.
These decisions will not wait forever.
Even choosing nothing can leave a lasting consequence.
Discover who they are outside the classroom
Explore the school and town to encounter different characters, conversations, and small events.
Casual conversations.
Unexpected detours.
Messages exchanged through LIME.
Behind ordinary words and familiar faces are feelings the characters never reveal in class.
A diary that remembers your choices
At the end of each day, Kanata records what happened in his diary.
Who he met.
What he felt.
Which decisions he made.
What you chose—and what you left behind—will remain in Kanata’s own words.
There is no single perfect ending
You cannot spend the same amount of time with everyone.
You cannot witness every event in a single playthrough.
Whom you meet, what you discover, and what you fail to notice will change Kanata’s relationships and lead the story toward different endings.
Who did you choose?
What did you gain?
What did you leave behind?
Those choices become your version of TOKIORIKI.

Over 400 Wishlists. Thank You！
Tokioriki has passed 400 wishlists on Steam. Thank you to everyone who found the store page, added the game to their wishlist, or played the free demo. Since passing 200 wishlists, even more people have found this story. Every wishlist is a real source of encouragement as we continue toward the full release. We are currently focusing on Chapter 5, refining its presentation scene by scene. We are reviewing CG illustrations, character expressions, sound cues, and dialogue timing so that each moment carries the right emotional weight. For scenes with choices, we are also checking each branch and its conditions one by one. Many of these changes are subtle, but they matter if the finished story is to feel consistent from beginning to end. Demo Version 2 — Planned for Mid-September 2026 We plan to update the currently available demo and re-release it as Demo Version 2 around mid-September 2026. Version 2 adds blinking and lip-sync animation for the characters, along with improvements to the underlying systems. Because of these system changes, save data from Demo Version 1 will not be compatible with Version 2. If you have already started Version 1, you will need to begin a new game after updating. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will announce the exact release date once preparations are complete. The free demo includes the Prologue through the first half of Chapter 1. The full version is planned for release on Steam in February 2027. Thank you for continuing to follow Tokioriki.Read full article on Community Announcements (ai.training.ht.1007)AnnouncementsOfficial
