【Game Introduction】

``Natsuno Kanata Beyond'' is a work depicting girls traveling through a world that has reached its end.

An old computer you stumble upon leads you to a phone call with a girl you've never met. She is Natsuno. In a world destroyed by a pandemic, he is traveling alone with no destination.

However, in the world you know, there is no pandemic or social collapse.

What world is she in and how can she connect?

As you become Natsuno's companion and watch him travel, you will uncover the mysteries of the world that has come to an end.

 [Explanation of this work]

``Natsuno Kanata Beyond'' is the complete version of the novel game ``Natsuno Kanata'' that was released for free on Steam in August 2022.

The basic design of the game is the same as the original version. Players can talk to Natsuno through the computer, have conversations with her, and progress through the story with her.

"Natsuno Kanata Beyond" has been enriched with content based on the original version, which is currently available for free.

・The game has been completely rebuilt using Unity.

By using Unity as the game engine, the game play environment has been further improved. For example, the original version required the use of a keyboard to input instructions, but "beyond" fully supports controllers. You can now select frequently used instructions using the command selection formula. Of course, you can also enter directly using the keyboard.

 ・Added by beyond

In the original version, the content was enhanced through updates, such as adding characters and accompanying stories, but in beyond, one new character and the accompanying story will be added.

 Also, the BGM has been replaced, insert songs have been added, etc.

We have added elements that allow you to become more immersed in the story and worldview.

 ・New character added (1 person)

 ・Add new stills (multiple stills)

 ・Addition of an insert song sung by Shiika, who was in charge of the theme song

 - Addition of new BGM (replacement/multiple songs)

 [About gameplay distribution]

You are free to stream gameplay throughout the game as you wish. There is no problem if you belong to a company or monetize your distribution.

STORY

Natsuno, a girl who leaves her hometown of Tokyo and continues traveling alone towards the north. My high school classmates and I got separated when we left Tokyo.

 I got separated from my parents at some station.

After the train stopped running, I continued my journey on foot alone.

I had no destination to travel to, and nowhere to return to.

 The world had come to an end six months ago.

The unprecedented pandemic has caused society to collapse in just a short amount of time.

When infected, people lose their rationality and turn into silent monsters that attack others.

In the end, neither the virus nor the bacteria that caused it were identified.

 There's nothing I know.

 Even so, what is in front of my eyes is just reality.

Even though he walks through town, he doesn't meet anyone and has no choice but to continue his journey alone.

The person you happened to talk to was a girl traveling the world.

It all started when I found an old computer while sorting through my late grandmother's belongings.

You open the data on your computer, looking for memories with your grandmother.

But what I heard from the computer was the voice of a girl I didn't know...

For some reason, the call was connected to a girl who called herself Natsuno.

Of course, there is no pandemic in your world.

High school students are enjoying their summer vacation to the fullest without wandering around an empty town.

 Still, the call was definitely connected to Natsuno.

 Where on earth is she?

 Why is the call connected?

 Although there were many things I didn't understand,

 She just said, ``Just be someone I can talk to.''

While meeting other girls who live in a world that has ended,

 You approach the truth little by little...
