About ISLAND
ISLAND is a visual‑novel adventure that uses a flowchart system to let players choose routes and reach multiple endings. The story follows amnesiac Setsuna, who awakens on the shore of Urashima and becomes involved with three island girls.
Urashima is portrayed as a remote utopia with a troubled past, including an endemic disease and the collapse of its Three Families. Players explore the mystery, decide how Setsuna’s actions affect the girls, and attempt to change the island’s fate.

Story Flowchart Navigation
The narrative is presented through a flowchart that lets players move between scenes, uncover clues, and branch toward different endings. Each decision can open new routes or lead to dead ends, encouraging careful exploration of the story.
Routes focus on Setsuna’s relationships with Rinne, Karen, and Sara, and each route reveals distinct aspects of Urashima’s history and future. The flowchart is the primary means of progressing and discovering the island’s secrets.
- Sketch the flowchart nodes on paper to keep track of visited and unvisited branches.
- Return to earlier nodes after unlocking new information to see fresh options.

Character Relationships
Setsuna interacts with three girls—Rinne, Karen, and Sara—each belonging to one of the island’s Three Families. Their personal stories intertwine with the island’s larger legend of tragic love.
These relationships are central to the multiple endings; the girls cannot change Urashima’s fate alone, but they may succeed with Setsuna’s help.
- Pay close attention to each girl’s dialogue for hints about the island’s past.
- Compare how each route treats the legend of tragic love.

Island Background and Lore
Urashima is a small, remote island praised for its natural beauty but scarred by Soot blight syndrome, an endemic disease that created a rift with mainland Japan. An abandoned offshore research platform and three past incidents weakened the Three Families.
Local folklore includes rumors of children being spirited away and a timeless legend of tragic love, both of which influence the game’s mystery and the routes players can take.
- Note the timeline of the three incidents to understand the families’ decline.
- Cross‑reference folklore mentions with in‑game clues for deeper insight.
