【PC】最后的现在｜最果てのイマ

彼らはいつも七人だった―――

幼い頃、とある施設で育った主人公「貴宮忍」には、友達と呼べるものはいなかった。そんな忍が、姉の「千鳥」と共に施設を出て最初にしたことは、友達を作ること。近所に住むボーイッシュな少女「紅緒あずさ」。同じ飼育委員となった、寡黙であり辛辣でもある「本堂沙也加」。地域でも有名な一族に属している兄妹「塚本斎」と「葉子」。似た者同士といった感じで惹かれ合った「樋口章二」。そして、偶然の出会いから近付いた「伊月笛子」。彼らと忍、合わせて７人。

共に友人に恵まれなかった面々が、知り合い、仲間となり、早数年。物語は、黄昏に彩られた静かな街で幕を開けた。７人の間で繰り広げられる理解と共感、反発と衝突。そして、思春期の淡い恋愛感情。永遠に続く友情。そんなまどろみのような幸せの中に、ずっといられる―――はずだった。

―――『敵』がその姿を現すまでは。

７人の輪を掻き乱す『敵』。忍は、それを許さない。仲間を傷つけるものを許さない。心を傷つけるモノを許したくない。それに気付いたとき、忍たちを取り巻く世界が変わる。そこにあるべき新たな世界……聖域……に辿り着く。これは、そんな。心を描く物語。心の果てにあるものを描く、物語―――

This game tells the story of seven long-time friends. How they grew closer or further apart as they got older. The story is presented using a blog-like interface.

The protagonist, Atemiya Shinobu, who was raised at a certain facility since a young age, had no one around him that could be called a "friend". Being that way, the first thing he started doing after leaving the facility with his sister - Chidori - was to find and make friends.

Benio Azusa, a tomboyish girl who lived nearby.

Hondou Sayaka, a quiet yet sharp-tongued girl who was in charge of raising the pets at school just like him.

Tsukamoto Youko and Itsuki, a pair of siblings who belonged to a prestigious family around the area.

Higuchi Shouji, a boy he knew by being attracted to the similarities they both share.

Izuki Fueko, a girl he met by chance.

Together with Shinobu, they were a group of seven. Just like that, each and every one of them, who had never experienced the joy of having friends, was able to meet each other and become companions. The story begins in a quiet town colored by dusk. Around the seven friends, there were understanding, empathy, conflict, and what's more, the fleeting love of adolescence. It was a friendship that could last forever.

Such a simple happiness should have... lasted forever.

That was until the "enemy" appeared.

The "enemy" had disturbed the peaceful relationship of the seven people.

Shinobu could not forgive that. He could not forgive the one that injures his companions, nor could he forgive the one that hurts another one's hearts. And when he realized all that, the world they resided in changed, rather then becoming the new world that it should have... they had arrived at the "sanctuary" instead.

This is a story that describes the heart.

A story that describes the thing located in the farthest end of a heart.
