A visual novel is an interactive fiction game, featuring mostly static graphics, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage). As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels.

In Japanese terminology, a distinction is often made between visual novels proper (abbreviated NVL), which consist predominantly of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (abbreviated AVG or ADV), which may incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, where both NVLs and ADVs are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans. Visual novels and ADVs are especially prevalent in Japan, where they made up nearly 70% of the PC game titles released in 2006.

Visual novels are distinguished from other game types by their extremely minimal gameplay. Typically the majority of player interaction is limited to clicking to keep the text, graphics and sound moving (most recent games offer "play" or "fast-forward" toggles that make even this unnecessary).

Most visual novels have multiple storylines and many endings; the gameplay mechanic in these cases typically consists of intermittent multiple-choice decision points, where the player selects a direction in which to take the game.

Thread Colors - Sayonara no Mukougawa: Childhood friends and new mates are met in high school and the town hospital when the main character of the game interacts with four teenage girls and a leggy guidance counselor. As the game begins, the player wakes up at a hospital with memory loss and struggles to remember a life lived and friendships from the past.

The game takes place primarily at the hospital and the local high school where the girls drift in and out of the player's daily life. During the hospital stay, our hero befriends a girl who tends to be sickly and naïve to the ways of the world but perhaps the two will help each other recover from their respective ailments.

Full voice action and a special theme song sung by Hiromi Sato provides a plethora of aural enjoyment.

Confined to a print run of 10,000 units, the limited edition of Thread Colors includes two music CDs packed in slim jewel cases (a mini-album dubbed "My Graduation Day" containing 11 tracks and a complete soundtrack album titled "Romance" containing 25 tracks), a beautifully crafted 5" resin figure, and a miniature 6-ring binder containing roughly 50 pages for entries. The cover to the binder is opaque and decorated with the images of the five girls from the game.
