#IF MY HEART HAD WINGS RESTORATION ERROR 00000039 FULL#
It becomes obvious that Aoi has his hands full with the roster of ladies under his care - one of which just so happens to be the gal from the hill earlier. It’s only when he steps foot in the door that he realizes this particular dormitory just so happens to be an all-female boarding house. Yes, that’s right, this teen boy has been set up with the position, thanks to his own mother, and plans to make a couple bucks cooking, cleaning and taking care of other high school students. The “Flying Fish Manor” is the name of his soon-to-be place of employment and it’s upon arrival that we find out Aoi’s job is that of a dorm mother. Moreover, it’s the place that he visits first when entering the town from his passage through the countryside. Though school occupies much of Aoi’s focus and the game’s adventure, his part-time job serves as an equally large part of Wings’ narrative. After doing so, and following a few more beats of clumsy verbal interactions, the two go their separate ways, and our wheelchair-sprucing hero makes his departure for town.Īs part of his return, Aoi plans to attend Keifu Academy, a boarding school in the area that specializes in the subject of engineering. Aoi, being a regular Tim “the Toolman” Taylor, informs the lass that he has a few tools in his carrying pack, and offers to fix the broken chair. Aoi exchanges words with the girl and the two share something of an awkward but charming moment as they try to remedy the gal’s situation, which just so happens to be a flat tire on one of her wheels. Not knowing whether to react with decisive swiftness or caution, Aoi takes the SOS to heart and eventually finds its writer - a wheelchair-bound girl sitting atop another one of the landscape’s undulating knolls. Clutching it from mid-flight, the boy unravels the origami and reads a message scribbled on the elegantly folded paper: “help me,” it says. As he takes in the sights and sounds of a place that feels warmly nostalgic and strangely unfamiliar, Aoi spots a small paper airplane soaring through the air. Incidentally, he’s been away from the town for five years while living with his father, and is unsure of what to expect in the homecoming.ĭuring his approach in the initial segment, we find Aoi standing on one of the swollen hillsides. Aoi is an adolescent boy who is moving back to Kazagaura, his hometown, after being injured in a bike racing accident. Within less than a minute, we are treated to our first batch of text which comes from an internal monologue of our main character Aoi Minase. Having said that, it wastes no time in getting its readers involved in the tale either.

By setting the scene through wide-angle shots that capture the expansive countryside of Kazegaura - a suburb outside Tokyo - in addition to rolling hills, sparkling waters and the emblematic fields of peacefully rotating windmills, this visual novel makes quite the statement in its inaugural message. If My Heart Had Wings introduces its audience to an endearing story right out of the gates, with an opening scene that feels both existential and sincere in its decorated ambition. And while If My Heart Had Wings certainly has its limitations, the game takes a refreshingly unique approach to the genre by providing an experience that is affecting, enchanting and resonant with a poignant degree of emotionality. As such, it’s clear that the newly formed team is looking to create a splash with their grand unveiling here. Although the staff members behind the title have been involved in the scene for quite some time, the studio at large is taking their very first plunge into the medium. If My Heart Had Wings is developer MoeNovel’s first foray into the visual novel realm.
