ToHeart Remake To Drop Demo on June 19

The ToHeart remake gives the “heartful love comedy” a 3D makeover and includes the ability to listen to the original or new voices. It also offers support for English and Chinese (Simplified for the Japan-only Switch release, and both Simplified and Traditional for the Steam version)., in addition to Japanese The premise (via Steam) reads:

Spring is almost here!

Strolling down a street paved with pastel tiles, the sun warms my back as pigeons flock by the roadside. Amid this everyday scenery, it’s another ordinary morning, with just a soft whisper of spring on the wind.

“It’s a little warmer again today, huh?” Akari pipes up as she turns her eyes to me, her bangs swaying gently in the breeze. “I guess winter’s over.”

“I guess it is,” I answer offhandedly, and Akari giggles. I don’t know why.

ToHeart is a “heartful,” heartfelt, and comedic multiple-ending visual novel.
The protagonist is an utterly ordinary young man, but his friends Akari, Masashi, and Shiho make every day a happy one.

As winter turns to spring and March turns to April, the wind also carries a whisper of love.

The original ToHeart visual novel from Leaf (Aquaplus’ adult brand) was first released for PC in 1997 as an 18+ title, with the all-ages version and various PlayStation ports following later. The 1999 PlayStation 1 release introduced the opening song “Feeling Heart,” which is also used in the remake (but now performed by YURIKA instead of Masami Nakatsukasa). 

ToHeart inspired a 1999 TV anime, a HD remaster Blu-ray of which will be included in a limited quantity premium edition (for both Switch and Steam). Another ToHeart anime was 2004’s To Heart 〜Remember my Memories〜.
