## Description
_Cherry Jam_ is a visual novel with a slight inclination towards dating
simulation. The hero is a nameless young man who is dating a girl named
Tomoyo. The game is dedicated to their relationship, more precisely the dates
they have together. As usually in visual novels, the basic premise is a flow
of text accompanying still images, with occasional decisions that steer the
story in a different direction. However, in _Cherry Jam_ the player has to
choose the protagonist’s answers or actions very frequently. Those decisions
influence Tomoyo’s mood and eventually the outcome of the date. Many decisions
also lead to a premature end of the game.
The player also has to manage the protagonist’s finances. Presents for Tomoyo
and other expenses are deduced from the protagonist’s overall wealth, so the
player has to balance between keeping Tomoyo happy and not becoming broke.
There is a “novel mode” in the game, which becomes accessible after the first
game “death”. This mode re-tells the entire story so far from the point of
view of Tomoyo.
