The remastered edition is identifiable by the "KID SELECTION" marker, representing the faithful adaptation of classic KID titles for modern platforms.

Story Overview

The journey begins with the protagonist, Kyousuke Watarase, who attends a boarding school. Out of the blue, he receives a device containing Reu, an artificial life form that his family, particularly his father and brother, had been researching. Initially, Kyousuke attempts to design Reu's personality to match his ideal girl. However, when an unexpected incident unfolds, Reu, who resembles a girl of his age yet behaves like a toddler, emerges. This sparks a whirlwind of challenges as Kyousuke tries to navigate life while keeping Reu a secret from the outside world.

The game features an impressive voice cast, including Yuki Matsuoka as Reu, Hitomi Kimura as Hina, and Akane Ouma as Motomi, enhancing the emotional depth of the storyline.
