Our take on Sayaka's Addiction
This RPG replaces the usual focus on battles, fantasy travel, or heroic quests with university life, employment, and minigames. Money earned through those activities becomes part of the story structure, while the central conflict concerns addiction and trauma rather than an external adventure.
What is Sayaka's Addiction?
Sayaka Minazuki is a university volleyball player who performs well in class and appears highly successful.
A trauma from her past has left her with an affliction that can take away her self-control. She speaks with Chie Hirose, the university nurse, about her situation as the story follows the development of her addiction. The game offers different ways to advance the narrative. Players can earn money through activities such as part-time employment, waitress work, and various minigames. Money is used to move the story forward and reveal more about Sayaka's circumstances. Set around university life, the game combines a personal storyline with work choices and minigame-based activities in a slice-of-life adventure RPG.
