Our take on 十五
The bounce point arrives when choices begin affecting several characters at once. Players looking for direct control over a single protagonist may hit a wall as attempts to fix one mistake can alter other people’s paths and create new accidents.
What is 十五?
Set in the 1990s, this pixel-art visual novel follows an embarrassed young man who returns to age 15 after losing his memories.
With only a damaged diary and old newspapers, he tries to guide his younger self toward different decisions and alter a later embarrassing situation. The story presents many choices, with decisions affecting the lives of people around him and those lives influencing one another.
