## Description
_Friends: Seishun no Kagayaki_ is a console port of an adult visual novel
Dousoukai for PC. Sega Saturn port was released 3 years after the PC version
and has all the adult content removed but is fully voice-acted. A PlayStation
2 port came 5 years after the Sega Saturn release in two versions, first one
marked with age 18 restriction and second one a year later with age 15
restriction. Both PS2 versions, however, do not feature adult CG event scenes,
but are fully voiced and have a new opening animation whereas Sega Saturn
version does not feature an opening animation.
This is the first game in the _Dousoukai_ series and starts with you on your
way to a nice resort to reunite with some of your classmates from high-school.
In particular, your tennis team members. The game focuses on romance and
features full map of the place you’re staying at as well as the rural town and
its surrounding area. The game occurs through one week time and lets you visit
any location on the map during both daytime and nighttime, which advances the
time. An icon of a character marks when someone is at some location, but not
who the person is. This visual novel features typical static anime characters
sprites with light animation such as talking animations, pasted over
background images. CG event scenes occur with the right character at the right
place and time. Your dialogue choices and actions affect how the story
progresses and if you will end up with one of the heroines or help with the
match-making for your friends.
