About This Game

"Arishihi no watashitachi e" is a Reversed Pastoral ADV that depicts the human drama woven by a boy, a girl, and an old man in a world as peaceful as a fairy tale.



Tilling the fields, caring for goats, and tending to household chores―the repetition of daily life accumulates small joys.
However, remnants of a former civilization cast a shadow over this idyllic existence.

Relying on a left-behind journal, uncover the sealed memories and the mysteries hidden in the world alongside the protagonist, [Shin].

This work explores the theme of "duality," depicting the boundaries between the ideals we hold and the reality we bear through the drama of gameplay. Unexpected developments may await...



Join the emotionally rich characters and become a part of their story as you witness the conclusion.

"If encounters bring people together, perhaps parting is also an encounter in its own right."

◤◢ Story ◤◢

Himmels Crest, a frontier land forgotten by people.
Shin, a young man who has lost his memory, was living idyllic days in this land.

Elena, a slightly precocious red-haired girl aiming for the ideal adult.
Dustin, a bright and humorous old man.

For him, they were like lifesavers.

Chopping wood, taking care of goats, housework, and laundry... Every day tossed about by an unknown environment.

One evening, almost a month after he started living there,
Under the starry night sky, Shin and Elena exchange words.

Eventually, she speaks with determination.

"I want to go to the city!"

The elegant dream city, Sesnia.
According to Elena, there is "something" there that brings her closer to adulthood.
However, she doesn't have the courage to go alone.
Therefore, she pleads.

"This is the last selfish request from the 'child me.'"
"―――Will you listen to it?"

The firm determination conveyed through her eyes.
The peace of everyday life was quietly changing color with one small decision.

This is the story of "me" turning into "I," revolving around the trajectory until the transformation.

◤◢ Character ◤◢


Shin
A young boy with amnesia living a communal life with Elena and others.
His blunt and prickly manner of speaking often leads to misunderstandings.
Despite this, he has a caring side, willingly participating in Elena's "studies" and "training to become an adult." Shin struggles with seizures that occur when his emotions become too intense.



Elena
A cheerful girl living with her foster father, Dustin.
She loves bringing smiles to those around her with her bright and brave demeanor.
However, her tendency to get carried away often lands her in trouble.
Elena dislikes being treated like a child and claims to be "more than a child but not quite an adult.
" She has a strong attachment to the concepts of adulthood and family, seemingly for a particular reason.



Dustin McCloud
Elena's foster father. A carefree and humorous old man who lives life at his own pace in Himmels Crest.
As the head of the household, he earns a living by selling fresh vegetables and relics from the past in the city.
Dustin enjoys conversing with others and is a reliable source of advice when someone is in trouble.
However, his habit of conveying things indirectly often puzzles Shin and Elena.

◤◢ Reverse Pastoral Adventure ◤◢

In this narrative, the process of uncovering the truth leads to the "reversal of values" that were once believed to be true, revealing new truths. This story is also deciphered from perspectives other than the protagonist's, including through diaries, embodying a "reversal of viewpoints".
By continuously juxtaposing these elements, the game uncovers the hidden truths behind a seemingly pastoral everyday life.
This is the essence of "Reverse Pastoral ADV".

◤◢ System ◤◢


Trail Weaving
By clicking on "noteworthy words" or "glowing items" encountered throughout the story, you can collect and view information.
You can access this information at any time during gameplay, except during still playback or cutscenes.
In addition to collectibles, "personal information" written from the perspective of the protagonist, Shin, is automatically recorded, allowing you to perceive Shin's growth and the nuances of his emotions through his journal.


Viewable at any time of your choosing.

Filling in the blank pages may bring you closer to unlocking the secrets of "Reverse Pastoral Adventure".
