July | November 27, 1998
"July" is a mystery adventure game that follows the stories of two young men: 19-year-old Tanimura Makoto and 29-year-old Joshua. They embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind a bombing incident that occurred several years prior. The narrative unfolds through distinct chapters for each character, allowing players to progress through one chapter at a time. Initially, their stories are separate, but as they delve deeper into the mystery, their paths intersect and reveal the connections to a secret corporation known as NAX.
The game is structured as a visual novel, where players navigate through dialogue and choices while exploring various locations. The map plays a crucial role in the interface, requiring players to visit the right places at the right times to trigger events. With anime-style character art and pre-rendered backgrounds, the game also features occasional pre-rendered animated cutscenes, though it does not include voice acting for characters or NPCs.
