E'tude Prologue - Yureugoku Kokoro no Katachi: High school and college were designed for reading, writing, and maths but there is a fourth lesson to be learned: romance. Play the part of a third year high school student who is making plans for life after graduation and conflicted with his or her imminent entry into adulthood. What kind of future awaits the uneasy student, what preparations must be made, and will a love confession be made to an attractive member of the opposite sex in home economics class?

Etude Prologue is an interactive adventure game where copious amounts of text are presented on screen and choices are offered to move the story along. During important junctures, certain choices will affect how the story forks as well as the protagonist's chances at romance. The setting of the game is the same as Takuyo's Little Aid interactive adventure which was released in November 2005. Supporting cast members from that game also appear in Etude Prologue for a bit of continuity between the two school-based adventures.

An interesting option is the ability to choose to play as a male or female character which changes the potential life mates and characters that one will encounter during the adventure. Etude was originally released for the Sega Saturn and Japanese PC in 1998 and the PS2 enjoys updated graphics, completely new background music, as well as new scenarios for players to enjoy.

The last season is about to start with mixed feelings in their hearts. What do you want to do in the future? Where are you going? When two main characters meet again, the story restarts....
