Parquet

Parquet is an all-ages visual novel set in the near future, where Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) technology can digitize human memories. An illegal experiment combines thousands of memories in one vessel, creating Ibuki Kanato, a new being who has only other people’s memories. Unsure of who he is, Kanato goes out into the world to search for his true self.

Living together

Kanato meets Kido Tsubasa and Ibaraki Rino, two kind-hearted women whose lives have also been affected by unscrupulous BMI experiments. As the three learn to live together while keeping their secrets, their lives begin to change. The story’s mystery unfolds as it progresses, following Kanato’s search for meaning and whether he can become more than a puppet.

The characters

• Ibuki Kanato: born from myriad memories under abnormal circumstances, he searches for meaning in a world without answers.
• Ibaraki Rino: a loner who can seem distant and cold, but has a compassionate, gentle side and longs for what she never had. She enjoys drinking for the good company more than for the drinks themselves.
• Kido Tsubasa: confident, friendly and big-hearted, with a seemingly bottomless appetite. She likes calorie-rich food such as ramen, pizza, hamburgers and other junk food.
