Bittersweet memories of youth suddenly come rushing back. “ToHeart” is a romance adventure game that awakens those emotions hidden deep in your heart. Originally released on PC in 1997, it quickly captured the hearts of many fans. In 1999, it was ported to PlayStation and adapted into an anime, further expanding its popularity. Now, this classic has returned in full 3D, letting you enjoy both nostalgia and freshness at the same time.

The setting of “ToHeart” is the school life everyone has dreamed of at least once. A warm spring morning, the familiar sidewalk, a flock of pigeons, and the gentle smile of your childhood friend Akari. No major incidents occur, but it's the accumulation of small, everyday moments that gradually brings the protagonist and the heroines closer. It's not flashy—but precisely because of that, it resonates with a comforting realism, much like a real youthful romance. The slow-building bond perfectly captures the bittersweet tenderness of first love.

The greatest charm of “ToHeart” lies in the interactions with its unique and charming heroines. A cheerful childhood friend, a shy and kind classmate, a dependable senior, a slightly mysterious underclassman...... Each one has a distinct personality that gently stirs the protagonist's heart. Through casual conversations and subtle gestures, they create a warmth that makes you feel as if they're truly there with you. You'll find yourself emotionally invested in every character, and before long, you’ll feel like you’re part of their school life.

The fact that “ToHeart,” which was already highly praised at its 1997 release, is now being reborn in full 3D feels like a dream come true. While preserving the nostalgia of the original, the characters are now more vibrant and delicately rendered with modern technology. The beautifully crafted backgrounds and smooth character animations offer an immersive experience, as if you’ve stepped into an anime world. Whether you're a returning fan or a newcomer, you'll surely be drawn into its gentle world.

“Can you remember your first love?”—Just as this question suggests, “ToHeart” is more than just a romance game. It's a heartfelt depiction of those bittersweet, cherished moments of youth. A school life that feels real yet slightly idealized, and the budding emotions that arise within it—these may resonate even more now that you’re older. “ToHeart” is a gentle story that allows you to reconnect with your past self.
