My name is Tachibana Yuuji, a regular student with no particular plans for the future – until my parents left for Hawaii on a business trip last fall, leaving me in the care of my uncle in the wintry countryside of Hokkaido.
Small-town life on Japan’s northern island didn’t have time to get dull, as from the moment I got there I was reunited with my cousin and childhood friend Saki. She’s pretty demanding, but when I’m hanging out with her and her school friends I don’t mind; as I get close to them I feel like I’m finding meaning in life that I didn’t know I was looking for.
Legend says there is a flower that blooms here in the depth of winter… as the twilight deepens and a snowflake melts in the palm of my hand, I stand with a beautiful girl by my side. Will we be able to uncover its mystery in this fleeting moment?
how to install this game?
can u upload again the one click link?? please is down
thanks 🙂
Is this version with windows 7 (and higher) support? I know they released such version in Japan since on some windows (yep 7 and newer) there was no character voice…
well it works fine for me and im using w7 right now
Very nice game. Breakdown- Uncensored hentai scenes, very nice story line, contains slice-of-life and comedy scenes (laughed quite a bit), draws you in and makes you attached to whichever heroine you are pursuing. Definitely a recommendation of mine.
Nice Visual Novel Much Hentai Scene 😀
you shouldnt jugde a vn by its H scenes imo but everybody has their own way to enjoy these games 🙂
thanks for your hard work admin 🙂
Does anyone know where to download Hatsuyuki Sakura? I had been searching it for so long
I think it have the eng patch already
Normally I stray away from playing these sort of games, but this game really changed my opinion.
There is only 2 things bad about this vn 1 no full screen 2 artwork is outdated (but not as some others Ive played) It’s been awhile since I played a vn that made me actual feel something. I was starting to lose hope i’d find something good. I have played most “recommended” vn’s now and I only have a few left. I was starting to get disappointed. Everything was either too light hearted or too dramatic or tried too hard to be funny. This was genuinely good and I hope the last few ones I intend to try are close to the same. Otherwise I have to wait for the lengthy translation process for new ones…
you forgot “the little shit who wishes your relationship out of existence”
Wow just wow I played through all the routes the first time I played this and I have to say the route I enjoyed the most was Saki’s it was really good. Now that I re downloaded this I only play Saki’s route because I don’t like the other routes great game too bad the sequel was never translated to english great game!!
I’ve seen this game having a lot of good reception. In my opinion much more than it actually deserves. I guess it can be understandable, because the game itself ain’t really that bad. To some it might be even good; unless you played Season of the Sakura earlier. It’s not without matter, cuz’ I’ve seen Snow Sakura being marketed as a spiritual successor to Season of the Sakura, therefore it’s very hard not to compare both.
Sadly, everything that Snow does, Season does much better. Firstly there’s the setting. Snowy mountains immediately bring to mind a lot of adventures and possible events, yet this potential was left completely untapped by writers. On the other hand Season managed to squeeze an interesting circumstance out of practically any setting it found itself in.
Next we have the events themselves. Story in Snow revolves pretty much about our heroes going to school, getting back from school and hanging out at the bar owned by one of the character’s parents, while having meaningless, boring conversations that rarely add anything to the story or deepen said characters. In Season every conversation takes place in a different setting under different circumstances and carries some of the characters’ emotions, traits, background info and is just generally fun to read.
As for the characters, I find those from Snow pretty boring, flat, even one-dimensional. The protagonist is dull, passive, hapless and always dissatisfied. It’s really hard to identify or empathize with him. He heavily contrasts with full of life Saki, who is definitely the most interesting of the bunch, probably because of her tsundere nature. The rest of the group makes for a bland, forgettable background. At the same time while Season’s characters’ basic design may be “stolen” from other realms, in Season they have their own nature history, motives and depth.
Let’s check out the storylines. Snow’s is pretty straightforward for the first half of the game, untill we need to take an obvious branch choice. Next half of the game features some overdramatized events revolving around the protagonist and his character of choice. That’s it. Season’s branching is less obvious. It’s possible to end up with almost any of the characters. Through the storyline we have a lot of opportunities to get to know the main heroines or discover other paths, before making an obvious choice at the end or taking a hidden path at some earlier point.
So there you have it. While Snow may feel like a good game, when it comes to competition against Season, it falls flat on it’s face, being the sore pretender that it really is.
