. It is a continuation of Kaede's path from ''
Really? Really!'' or Sia's path from ''Shuffle! Essence+'', or Primula's path from ''Shuffle!'' Last storyline is the Ruri Matsuri's path, which takes place at the same time as the storylines from ''Shuffle!''
Gameplay
When a player starts the game there are only three paths to choose from: Sia's, Primula's and Kaede's. Each storyline is an after story: Kaede's path takes place at the time of school festival, in Primula's path the main heroine would like to be seen more like a girl not a kid, and in the third storyline Sia and Kikyou have a few problems. When the player finishes the first three paths, a fourth storyline becomes available. This follows the story of Ruri, which is a romantic story like the paths from ''Shuffle!'', and it's quite different from Ruri's side story from ''Shuffle! Essence+''. In this game there are no further choices once the initial path is chosen.
