[edit] Gameplay
It featured an interactive system reminiscent of text-based adventure games, and it was called simply Dialog System with which you could communicate with Hitomi. It consisted of context-sensitive parts of phrases selectable via menu that could be put together to create a complete phrase. You could change the course of the story or your relationship with her depending on your answers.
Instead of using CGI or anime, real actors were used. Characters' emotions were conveyed through animated emoticons.
