99 no Namida

About this game

Based on the premise that crying helps relieve stress, Bandai Namco aims with "99 Tears" just that, to make the Nintendo DS owners cry. The game takes place in a city where the inhabitants have forgotten how to cry. One day, returning from work, you run into a store called "Source of Tears" and the story begins. The player will have to play at the end of each day one of the 99 stories that the game has chosen for us previously based on a kind of psychoanalysis. According to the response to the story, the game will continue the sequence optimally to provoke crying. In this Nintendo DS release, story, case, or mission progress, reading and investigation, and choice making form the main playable structure. Chapters, clues, and key decisions shape relationships and events. The dual screens, stylus, and buttons divide commands from status information where the design calls for it. Text, character art, audio, and interface carry the narrative atmosphere, while heavy text and language requirements directly affect progress. This description applies to the Nintendo DS edition and does not import modes, presentation upgrades, or convenience features from home-console versions, mobile adaptations, later ports, or remakes.
