Based on what's originally written as a short novel on the Sega Saturn magazine, this is a prequel on the events before the heat wave on the perspective of various characters similar how Nier drama CD displays stuff, not only would be great to have a visual novel on the platform that acomodates it the best but right now the game itself does not have a english translation, even if this is not translated or is a direct port from the android version having a PC version means a easier way to mod/patch text.
