Zakuro No Aji

Zakuro no Aji (“Taste of Pomegranate”) is a visual novel from Imagineer and adopts the then-popular presentation of using text on static backgrounds with the use of sound effects and music to create atmosphere.

The game’s story concerns a five-story office block that suddenly sinks into the ground after a major earthquake. The protagonist, Domon, and the other office drones are initially panicked, and decide to look for a way out. As Domon makes his way to the basement, any one of a number of different situations can occur dependent on how the player answered some multiple choice questions earlier on.
