Really? Really!

About

Really? Really! is a visual novel that continues the story of Kaede from the Shuffle! series. Set during a holiday, the game follows Rin and allies as they enter Kaede’s fractured mental world to repair her scrambled memories. Players watch key events and collect keywords to correct past mistakes, gradually piecing together her lost history. The story unfolds in a linear fashion but relies on player choices to restore narrative coherence, blending exploration with puzzle-like memory fixes. The game stands out for its focused narrative and interactive approach to storytelling. While part of a series, it functions as a self-contained entry with emotional stakes centered on Kaede’s recovery. Fans of visual novels with branching mechanics may find the keyword system refreshing, though the lack of multiple endings keeps it straightforward. Released in 2006, it retains a dated aesthetic but remains a dedicated follow-up for those invested in the characters.

Storyline

The story takes place on a holiday after Rin got together with Kaede. Primula comes back to the Fuyou home as a family. The King of Gods and King of the Devils examine Primula's emotional control in front of Rin and Kaede. However, right in the middle, Primula's magical force - which far exceeded their expectations - goes out of control and affects Kaede's mind. The various memories within Kaede are rearranged in tatters. As a result, Fuyou Kaede is left in a state of utter confusion and falls asleep. Nobody knows when or if she will awaken. Rin infiltrates Kaede's mental world with his friends and tries to correct the scattered memories to save her.
