About this game
About the name "The Game of The Playful" Among our Chinese players, the word "playful" conveys a sense of being fun-loving. It can also suggest resilience and fearlessness in the face of hardship, much like when a martial artist is challenging a demon, and after being pushed back by a powerful strike, she might simply say, "Interesting" or "Fun," and charge in again. However, I've since realized that the English connotation of "playful" is quite different. My understanding of the word as a native Chinese speaker was too subtle, to the point where it becomes confusing for native English speakers. Because of that, I created an English name for this game, Where Memories Bloom, which is the name currently used on itch.io for this game’s android version. I reached out to the Steam Support Team to request a change to the game's English name. However, due to how long ago the game was released, Steam believed that altering the game's name on the store would be disorienting for longtime players. As a result, the request was denied, and the game's Steam name remains The Game of The Playful. About the Game Game Type: Visual Novel Game Positioning: Single-player otome game Worldview: The game is set in a modern fictional world, with different parallel universes featuring different time-space settings. Some routes contain mild fantasy elements. Story Length: The current main version includes 16 romanceable characters. Each character route takes approximately 1–2 hours to complete. Perspective: Third-person (with one first-person route). Atmosphere: A gentle, healing game about confronting past trauma. Game Structure: 1v1 storylines, each character has an independent route. Six routes are set in a small town: The heroine loses her memory after waking up in a hospital and temporarily stays at a mountaintop villa. In the town, she can choose to stay at the villa and get to know the residents, or move out alone, which leads to a storyline with the town's police officer. The heroine's identity is initially presented as a mystery and is gradually revealed as the story progresses with the male lead. Therefore, each route may reveal different identities for the heroine.…
