NDS Flower, Sun, and Rain - New Import, Restock Soon
NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» Detective Sumio Mondo has been hired by the manager of a resort known as Flower, Sun, and Rain which sits in the middle of the Lospass island paradise. According to the manager Ed Macalister, there's been a terrorist threat at Lospass Airport but once Sumio enters the resort, he's badgered by hotel guests who request his assistance. Tied up with the rabble, Sumio misses his trip to the airport and a plane explodes while flying over Lospass. The next day, Ed Mcalister calls Sumio to wake him up. The private dick soon discovers that the plane hasn't blown up yet and he's been shunted in a sort of time warp. Each day that Sumio endeavors to intercept the plane's departure, obstacles pop up which prevent his trip to the airport. What is the wrinkle that'll break the time loop for Mondo?

NCS Game Notes
» On the island of Lospass, there sits a seaside resort unlike any other. Flower, Sun and Rain may be more apt as the title of a National Geographic piece - amidst a tropical paradise, FSaR is the epitome of lavish surroundings and well-heeled relaxation. Amenities galore, beautiful women, and modern contrivances are it's other perks.

» Detective Kodai Sumio figures it's be an enjoyable couple of days at the FSaR resort when he's summoned there on an assignment but a host of pampered guests and socialites alter his immediate destiny by badgering him for help. Aided by a multi-purpose device called "Katherine" which is operated by a "Dial", Sumio-san divines the circumstances surrounding a situation or a problem by using the gadget in conjunction with the game manual which relates locations of places and relays information about the people encountered in the game. An additional feature of the "Katherine" is the ability to determine the nature or purpose of an object.

» Flower, Sun, and Rain (aka
Hana to Taiyou to Ame to) was originally released on the Playstation 2 in 2001 so the game has an old school polygon bent to the visuals.  The character models and locations are rendered in 3-D which gives Flower, Sun, and Rain an eye pleasing look with it's fluid animation and stylized graphics. The game play may be likened to standard detective sims where clues are ferreted, folks questioned, and point A must be visited before going to point B. All in all, an enjoyable and unique game brimming with interesting scenarios, characters, and puzzles to solve.

»
The moody video introduction that was featured in the PS2 version of Flower, Sun, Rain has undergone an editing process but the overall game remains pretty much the same.

» Three new characters are featured in the NDS version of Flower, Sun, and Rain.
