Yusetsu

Yusetsu is a romance-themed visual novel about an emotionally frustrated office worker who meets Fengxiang, the hostess of the Yusetsu bar. You work at a company during the day to earn money, then spend time at the bar drinking and talking with its girls. As their friendliness toward you grows, they gradually open up and reveal more of their stories.

The bar and its characters

The game features three girls, each with a favorite wine. Choosing the right drink can greatly increase her favorability and unlock more story interactions. Each character has 40 randomized responses and lines, with reactions that vary according to how you interact with her.

• Fuka: The gentle, reliable owner of Yusetsu has the air of a mature woman and is a devoted cat lover. She is reassuring to be around, though she can also be unexpectedly natural.
• Aoi: Bright as the summer sun, she draws people in with her unusual presence and is said to be the daughter of a wealthy aristocrat. Behind her pure, kind-hearted nature lies a sad story.
• Mao: A cute, mischievous girl who can help you forget your troubles. She also has a big dream she hopes to fulfill.

Story and presentation

Each girl's story takes about two hours, for around six hours to complete all three routes. The bar scenes use Live2D animation, and the main story scenes have Japanese voice acting. The game includes 27 collectible CGs, with some animations also made using Live2D.
