    During lunch one day, Toomi Yuna meets two "Kindred Spirits" on the roof of her school. When they insist she help them nurture young love, Yuna finds herself playing "yuri cupid" to six unique and adorable couples. Can she remain aloof or will the promise of a "yuritopia" reach her too?

    - Let’s Make This a Yuritopia! -

    Kokonotsuboshi Girls' Academy of Commerce, a school built on the site of an old castle, known as "Shirojo." Toomi Yuna spends her time here on her own, until one day her lunch on the roof is suddenly interrupted by a pair of ghosts.

    Enoki Sachi, who died in an accident before the war, and Nagatani Megumi, who died of illness thirty years ago. These "kindred spirits" died with unrequited feelings in their hearts, met, and fell in love. They hold an ardent wish to experience their "first time" together before their eternal rest...But they don't know how.

    The two haunting spirits enlist Yuna to help them foster more "yuri" couples at the school, to assist girls struggling with their hidden feelings, and with the hope that their successes will help them glean the insight they need.

    Kindred Spirits on the Roof (Okujou No Yurirei-San)
    Review (By YouNa)

    To begin my review, I have to say that the 'story' is very good. It shows a faithful text adventure plot as the structure of 'main story - side story - epilogue'. Because of this, the playtime is quite long. If you do not skip the voiced sections it will take about 30 ~ 40 hours until the ending, and then it will take about 50 hours until you finish. However, it is a little disappointing that only major events support voices. Nonetheless, their voices are good enough. This game offers a satisfying amount of story with voices and music to match. Everything is in harmony.

    The game 'music' is great. It's good music that makes the game atmosphere feel pleasant. But the songs are few unfortunately compared to other text adventure games. The number of songs you have available in the gallery is fifteen excluding the hidden tracks. So even though it's not a lot of music, I'm sure you'll still be satisfied with the OST.

    Game 'convenience' was better than I thought. In particular, the gallery has a fairly intuitive interface because it is right next to the story scene. However, it may be a little awkward that the save & load does not appear on the Planer screen. In other words, it is difficult for the player to identify the diverging point until the story has proceeded. And there are some pause problems in the game but it won't bother you too much. Because the story of this game is quite good, I think players can overcome it enough to reach the end of the game. The translation isn't bad at all but if you do understand Japanese, you will probably enjoy the game more.

    The conclusion is that 'Kindred Spirits on the Roof' is a very suitable game for entering the genre of text adventures. I highly recommend it. It would be even better if we could continue to see these kinds of games in the future. :)

    The following FAQ may help you play this game. ;)

    Frequently Asked Questions (Achievements, Steam Overlay, Voice Acting, etc)

    https://steamcommunity.com/app/402620/discussions/0/412446890556556562/

    To address some common questions:

    Does Kindred Spirits have achievements?
    No. Unfortunately, Kindred Spirits' engine incompatible with Steam Achievements. Steam Overlay is similarly incompatible.

    Is Kindred Spirits fully voice-acted?
    Kindred Spirits has partial-voice acting. Some scenes and lines are voiced, others are not. The game does have music throughout though.

    How long is Kindred Spirits? $35 seems like a lot for a visual novel.
    While it's difficult to accurately estimate playtime for a visual novel, most people would say that Kindred Spirits is somewhere between 20 and 30 hours long, depending on how fast you read.

    Is there any difference between the Steam version of Kindred Spirits and the version sold on Mangagamer.com? Was anything cut?
    No. Both versions are identical, no content was cut.

    Why is this game age-gated? Is this game "porn"?
    Kindred Spirits is behind an age-gate because the game contains some scenes featuring partial nudity and sexual dialogue (a few tasteful sex scenes) and that content is considered inappropriate for younger audiences. These scenes make up a relatively small proportion of the game's content and are not its primary focus.

    Is there a demo?
    Yes. You can find it, along with some explanation about the game, right here[blog.mangagamer.org].

    Are demo saves compatible with the full game?
    No.

    My anti-virus has flagged the game as malware, is there something wrong with files I've downloaded?
    If you downloaded the game from a legitimate source (Steam or MangaGamer.com), no, the game is not infected with malicious code. It's a false-positive.

    The game is lagging or becoming unresponsive after about 15 minutes of play. Help!
    Our programmers are looking into this issue now as it didn't come up in testing. It appears to be somehow related to launching the game through Steam for some users. If you are encountering this problem, we recommend launching the game independent of Steam as a temporary workaround. To launch the game outside of Steam, right click the game in your library and go to Properties --> Local Files --> Browse Local Files and just run the .exe

    If you have any questions, concerns or technical issues please don't hesitate to contact our customer support at [email protected]
