Glass no Mori

Glass no Mori, full title The Renai Adventure ~Garasu no Mori~ (The Love Adventure ~Forest of Glass~) is a PS2 otome game developed by HuneX and published by D3. The game is volume 13 of the Simple Series line of budget games. The game tells the story of the protagonist's last visit to her deceased grandfather's house on the edge of a haunted forest in the countryside. The forest is rumoured to be a 'kamikakushi' that steals away children.

When she returns in the game, she takes a walk in the forest and sees a mysterious young man. Later, she gets lost in the forest, and comes upon a small café. Inside she finds the same young man, as well as two others, and the owner. They welcome her, but seem to want her to leave quickly, and they make several obscure comments on being trapped in the forest.

Gameplay

The game is a dating sim in which the non-player characters include possible love interests. The characters can be separated into 'forest' characters and 'normal' characters. The 4 forest characters are the 3 young men and the café owner. The 3 normal characters are a boy that the main character used to play with, his older brother, and his brother's friend. As the player character, you learn more about each character's story if you choose to spend time with them, and you eventually learn (if you pick one of the forest characters) that they were stolen away by the forest, and can't leave it. They are being pulled to a door somewhere in the forest that leads to an unknown place that they simply call 'the other side', and your goal is to save your chosen character from going there.
