2.1  1ST IMPRESSION

     Imouto de ikou! Plenty of pretty sisters (Imoiko).
Overflow, 2002.12.27.

     [Ramble ON]

     First, I don't have a real sister, and I'm not a Lolicom. I got this 
game for a selective audio (vocal) reason...
     Anyway.
     The official HP of the game at
     http://www.0verflow.com/product/callimoiko.html
     has a playable demo, the theme song "Imouto nandamon!"
as a MP3 file, patches for both the game and (-_-;) the
playable demo, and the heroines' voice samples.

     *OFF-TOPIC ALERT*

     The game is on two CDs. It needs both CDs to install.
     Except the OP anime as an AVI file (85 MB), the CDs don't seem to have 
any omake stuph.
     The game has two install sizes: full (1+ GB) and
standard (550+ MB).
     I chose standard, and it occupies 552+ MB.
     The main menu has four choices: Start, Continue,
Option, and Exit.
     In the Option screen, the basic options are: volumes
(BGM, sound effects, and voices), text display speed, screen
change speed, automatic forward wait time, and screen size
(window or full).
     The default screen size is full, so I changed it to
window.
     In the Option screen, the advanced options are:
display, font, graphic, sound volume, input, and sound
speed. The "graphic" advanced options include: und_rhair and
effect anime...

     The game also has an OVA series by Green Bunny.
     http://www.green-bunny.com/new/imouto/vol1/1main.html

     The heroines are voiced. The male chara aren't.
     The game has 32 save game slots. The player can't rename the slots.
     The player can't rename the protagonist's name, Yoshizumi Hisashi.
     During a conversation, up to two chara are on-screen.
     A chara's expression changes and mouth moves when she speaks, but her 
eyes don't regularly blink.
     I presume the effect anime are the question mark, spark, or sweat that 
momentarily appears besides the chara's head.
     At a multiple choice node, after the player chooses a choice and 
reaches the next node, when the player reloads the game to the previous 
node, the choice that the player chose now has a pink background colour, 
instead of the default blue-grey.

     The story:
     One night, while Hisashi's sleeping, he thinks he sees a light and 
hears a crash on the roof and girls' voices, but the girls' voices become 
cats' meow, and he sleeps again.
     Next morning, he tells his nameless father about it.
     When he exits his home, he bumps into two heroines:
     - A girl who has blond hair in twin tails.
     - A woman who has long blond hair.

     At school, Sakakino Seiryou Gakuen, today is when the girls change into 
spring-summer uniforms.
     The protagonist and his two male classmates discuss aliens that come to 
Earth on UFOs and lurk amongst Humans. (IMO: Been there, done that, gotten 
the T-shirt, and written the FAQ; because I played Hooligan by FrontWing.) 
The baka trio then bombed an English test.
     After the test, they spoke with two heroines:
     - Yoshihara Ikuko, who has short (ear length) brown hair, with red 
hairband.
     - Kurahashi Miori, who has semi-long red hair, with small yellow bows.

     After school, Hisashi goes home. In the toilet, he again bumps into the 
girl who has blond hair in twin tails (one event CG with, eh, scatolo 
theme).
     When Hisashi exits the toilet, the player gets the first multiple 
choice node, with two choices...

     FYI, in Ecchi games, I dislike anal/kanchou/scatolo,
android/cyborg, bandage, bestiality, bondage, boys
love/gay/homo/yaoi/801, Burikko, byoujaku, choukyou/slave,
chuuko/widow (miboujin)/wife (hitoduma), gakuenmono,
giggolo, kemono, kichiku, kinshin/nikushin, kyonyuu,
les/yuri, Lolicom/petit/puny, Mah Jong, maid,
ninshin/pregnant, nun, nurse, okama (maybe except the Hokuto
no Ken type), orgy, school mizugi, Shouta, slime, tentacles,
and zombies.
     (I know. Picky, picky.)

4.   SOLUTION

     In 1st Play, I aim for Miori's two endings. Miori's second ending 
reportedly shares almost the same route as Ikuko's, so I'll probably clear 
Ikuko's ending also.

4.1  THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

     PROLOGUE

     1-1  Genkaku? [Hallucination?]
     1-2  Ima no musume, mioboe ga aru you na...?

     1-2 leads to node 2.
     I chose 1-2.

     2-1  Soko ni DOA [door] ga aru kara. [Because that's a
          door there.]
     2-2  Onnanoko ga haitteiru to ha omowanakatta. [Didn't
          think a girl's gone inside.]

     2-2 leads to node 3.
     I chose 2-2.
     Hisashi learns (?) the girl, who has blond hair in twin tails, is named 
Mayuka and is his sister. The woman, who has long blond hair, is named Seika 
and is his mother.

     3-1  Ano oyako ha, sagishi? [Those mother and daughter
          are frauds?]
     3-2  Sakki no juu ni himitsu ga!? [Secret is with the
          gun before?]
     3-3  Ryoute ni hana!? [Flowers in both hands?]

     Hisashi is fragging clever. Or, at least the programmers allowed him to 
be fragging clever.
     3-2 leads to node 4.
     I chose 3-2.

     4-1  Ii. [Good.]
     4-2  Warui. [Bad.]

     4-2 leads to node 5.
     I chose 4-2.

     5-1  Mado no soto wo miru. [Look outside the window.]
     5-2  Minai. [Don't look.]

     Hisashi is again fragging clever.
     5-2 leads to node 6.
     I chose 5-2.

     6-1  Hadakaodori wo shiro! [Dance naked!]
     6-2  Me wo tsubure! [Close your eyes!]
     6-3  Omae no shoutai wo hanase. [Speak your real
          identity.]

     6-1 leads to node 7. 6-2 and 6-3 lead to node 8.
     If the player chooses 6-2 or 6-3, despite a bit of different dialogue, 
Hisashi shoots Mayuka, learns how to change the parameters in her brain-wash 
gun, then shoots her again. He then shoots Seika and his father. (Yes, he's 
gone over to the Dark Side now.) The game displays one Seika non-Ecchi CG 
(cooking).
     I chose 6-3.

     7-1  Denpakei no hito?
     7-2  Uchuujin? [Spacenoid?]

     8-1  Shita. [Did.]
     8-2  Shitenai. [Didn't.]

     8-1 leads to node 9.
     If the player chooses 8-1, Hisashi shoots Mayuka and Seika again, to 
cloak their knowledge of their gun. After dinner, Hisashi borrows and reads 
Mayuka's guide book, and shoots Mayuka, to cloak her memory of her book. As 
she looks for her book in his room, she reads one of his Erohon... The game 
displays one event CG (family at dinner table), five image CG (Earth 
invation operation), and one Ecchi CG (Erohon).
     I chose 8-1.

     9-1  Shiritai. [Want to know.]
     9-2  Betsu ni. [No.]

     9-1 leads to node 10.
     I chose 9-1.
     "Puppeteer's Ceremony"?

     10-1  Nantonaku. [No cause.]
     10-2  Shitemitai kara. [Because want to try.]
     10-3  Shitakunai kara. [Because don't want to try.]

     10-2 leads to node 11.
     I chose 10-2.

     11-1  Mayuka.
     11-2  Mayuka no haha. [Mayuka's mother.]
     11-3  Koibito. [Lover.]

     11-3 leads to node 12.
     I chose 11-3.
     If I've any interest in Mayuka or her mother, I would've at least tried 
the first two choices and seen what happened. (X_X)

     12-1  Mayuka.
     12-2  Miori.
     12-3  Ikuko.
     12-4  Himitsu. [Secret.]

     12-2 leads to node 13.
     This is one of the nodes where the player has to favour Miori or Ikuko.
     In 1st Play, I chose 12-2, as I was aiming for Miroi's first ending.
