SQOOL GAME AWARD 2022 WINTER Grand Prize '7 Days to End with You'
"SQOOL GAME AWARD 2022 WINTER" is a concept where the SQOOL.NET editorial team arbitrarily awards titles they played and wanted to "recognize" in 2022. Please note that these are not self-nominated entries.
A puzzle & novel game where you progress through a 7-day story with a protagonist who has lost their memory and a mysterious woman. Decipher words and witness the story's conclusion in a unique experience.
The protagonist cannot understand the woman's words, and from the player's perspective, her words are displayed in fictional characters, leaving you to progress through the story without understanding what she's saying.
However, as you communicate with her repeatedly, you gradually begin to guess the meaning of each word. You translate and fit them together like a puzzle, thinking "This word might mean this emotion. This might be what it means."
The thrill of revealing the relationship between the protagonist and the woman, and the truth of what happened in this world as your understanding of the language deepens, is truly unique among gaming experiences. The structure where you can't understand the entire story in one playthrough, and various things become clear through repeated playthroughs, is simply magnificent.
