If

About

If by Active Software is a 1993 visual novel that splits into four separate stories with no shared plot. Each scenario lets you interact with characters through dialogue choices that shape outcomes. The PC release features anime-style art and branching narratives focused on romantic and adult themes. Gameplay centers on exploring scenarios in any order with minimal progression between them. The game stands out as an early example of the visual novel genre outside Japan. With DOS and Windows versions from the 90s, it runs on retro systems but has no modern updates. Players note the dated presentation and limited interactivity by today's standards. Still it holds curiosity value for fans of visual novel history. A small but dedicated community keeps it archived online.

"If" contains four scenarios, which are unrelated to each other and can be accessed directly from the main menu.
