The worst Tokimemo. The worst game.

What drives me insane is that many of these systems did make it into Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side, which was in development at the same time, for a much lower budget. For example, if you're at high affection with a guy character, they will give you an accessory for White Day/ Your Birthday, and will recognize it if you wear it on a date.

Well, I'm glad it showed up somewhere.

Certainly not when she gets picked for one-person-only events like the Fireworks Festival and the protagonist's birthday. Since the game can check for affection levels to determine who gets picked for that stuff, why in the world would it do something differently when picking the ending?

It's cute that you think this game is consistent about anything at all.
