Furifuri

The gameplay in Furifuri requires little player interaction from the player, as most of the duration of the game is only spent on reading the text that appears on the screen, representing either dialogue between characters, or the inner thoughts of the protagonist. Every so often, the player will come to a "decision point", where he or she is given the chance to choose from multiple options. The time between these points is variable and can occur anywhere from a minute to much longer. Gameplay pauses at these points and depending on which choice the player makes, the plot will progress in a specific direction.

There are five main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. To view all five plot lines, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different decisions to progress the plot in an alternate direction.

The main part of Furifuri's story takes place in a seaside town called Hoshifuri-dai (星降り台), known for its observations of waste (ガラクタ, Garakuta), mysterious objects that fall from the sky. Hoshifuri-dai is split into several regions. To the center of the town is Palace of Ostwind (オストヴィント宮殿, Osutovinto Kyūden), a mysterious building under investigation located on the top of a hill. Next to the palace is Stardust Shopping Mall (スターダスト商店街, Sutādasuto Shōtengai), and the town's largest shopping district, where the protagonist's house and the town's waterfront Syuronoki Street (シュロの木通り, Shuro no Ki-tōri) locates nearby.

To the other side of the palace is the Myoujo Park (明星公園, Myōjō Kōen), a park built to commemorate the location of the earliest known waste fall. Close to the park is a school called Rokubungi Academy (六分儀学園, Rokubungi Gakuen), which the main characters attend. Other locations off-island includes the Odds and Ends Laboratory, which investigates the waste, the Nadeshiko Apartments (なでしこ荘, Nadeshiko-sō), and the Amano Beach (天の浜, Ama no Hama).

Furifuri is the fifth title to be developed by 130 cm, after previous titles such as Princess Bride. Art direction is headed by Iko Izumi, who has also provided the character designs used in the game, and will be the artist's first work on a visual novel project. Planning for Furifuri is headed by Makoto Hyōtō, with the scenario being provided by Kansei Nishisora. Music used in the game is composed by U-ma. Both Makoto Hyōtō and U-ma has previously been in the development team of Kanojo-tachi no Ryūgi, 130 cm's previous game.
