Aoi Namida is romance adventure game presented as a visual novel. It was released for Xbox on 2004-05-27, a year after the original PC (Windows) game with the same title.
The story takes place in several different worlds, each set in a single volume of a story. Initially, the game starts in the Fantasy Volume of the story. It then shifts to Reminiscence Volume, and finally ends with the Modern Volume. The main heroines are introduced individually throughout the story during the Fantasy Volume where player can choose to pursue a romantic affection with one of the heroines. Based on player's interest in a specific heroine, the Reminiscence Volume will reflect a different story of the past, ultimately concluding the story in the Modern Volume showing the present-day of the story. New characters appear in different volumes of the story.
The gameplay involves making choices that determine the story and its multiple endings, with full voice-acting featured in this Xbox release but not in the original PC version. The game's visual novel style allows for an immersive experience, with players able to explore different story paths and relationships.
