Emotional Story-Driven Interactive Simulation: The Sun Shines Over Us Review
"The Sun Shines Over Us" by Niji Games is a free simulation game for mobile devices that offers an emotional narrative following the story of a high school girl navigating through bullying and relationships. Much like "Her Story" or "Life Is Strange," this interactive sim relies on player choices to shape the unfolding events, with significant consequences impacting the protagonist's life.
Players step into the shoes of Mentari, a teenage girl dealing with the aftermath of bullying in a new school environment. With 15 chapters, over 1,000 words of dialogue, and 25 beautifully rendered locations, players interact with 16 characters, including potential romantic interests, each with unique personal stories. The game features six possible endings, an original soundtrack, and 31 collectible CGs, although some players have reported issues with game saves.
