This is not the first time that we've said that romance-themed simulation games and visual novels are gaining popularity among PlayStation Portable players, and with QJ.NET reader bruce_jk informing us about a new one called Air you can expect us to say that more often.

This particular visual novel was actually first released back in 2000 by developer Key. It had versions on platforms PC, PlayStation 2 and Sega Dreamcast. Gameplay follows a linear storyline where players interact with characters at predetermined times with actions based on predetermined options as well.
