The Wind from the East

Game premise and structure

The Wind from the East is an interactive narrative game set in a fictional school, where players navigate between two timelines: 2004 and 2026. The story unfolds as you explore the lives of five high school students in 2004, who submitted a materials book with a missing ending, and their future selves, tasked with uncovering the truth about the missing pages. The focus is on dialogue and story clarity, emphasizing whether the characters can provide a resolution to a narrative that was left incomplete.

Gameplay mechanics

The game is structured into eighteen chapters across two alternating timelines. You engage with narrative choices that affect the outcomes of the story. The gameplay does not include combat or numerical stats; instead, it revolves around understanding the characters' motivations and decisions. You can select the protagonist's gender, which does not alter the main storyline but may influence dialogue options.
