Sakura Note Imanitsu na Garu Mirai

Sakura Note begins with the player-named protagonist in bed but mom rouses him from his slumber and sends him off to school. While at school, a short tutorial teaches players the basic mechanics of the game in a seamless introductory sequence. Outside the school, a portion of the town may be explored but note that many exits are closed and not available at the outset of the adventure. To view where to go next, look at the town map on the top screen and a blinking red dot or arrow will show where the protagonist has to mosey onto next.

Early in the game, the protagonist befriends a dog who leads him to a mighty cherry tree that's filled with blooming blossoms. An odd and excitable humanoid-creature gives the skinny on the healthy cherry tree and tells of another tree in town that's mysteriously ailing. It is during this tree scenario that the protagonist eventually meets Nanami Yoshida while following the dog whom we named "Woofy." Nanami and Woofy eventually run off and leave the protagonist to ponder what he has learned...

After every major event in the game, an icon appears on screen which looks like a hamburger and allows the player's progress to be saved to the game card. Three save-slots are available. Our recommendation is to save your progress before fighting the first scenario pig boss. He's a tough guy.
