Our take on 120 Yen Stories
Instead of centering on one extended romance, the game presents four separate seasonal encounters, each with a different heroine. Its occasional choices leave the changing relationships and circumstances at the center of the experience.
What is 120 Yen Stories?
120 Yen Stories is a romantic visual novel built around four seasonal stories set in Japan.
Each season presents a different heroine and a young man whose relationship begins with an unexpected meeting. In winter, a freelance man and a girl share a slow train ride to the countryside, prompting memories of his childhood. Summer follows two people who meet near a vending machine. In autumn, a man tries to help a girl after seeing a fortune-telling segment on television, but she responds angrily. Spring follows a young man and girl who meet in the countryside while both feel uneasy about reality, gradually influencing one another. The game uses static character images and occasional choices to move its plot forward.
