Kud Wafter (クドわふたー, Kudo Wafutā
?) is a Japanese adult visual novel being developed by Key. It will be a
DVD playable on a Microsoft
Windows PC and Key's eighth similar game in
its history. Focusing on the title character Kudryavka Noumi,
also known as "Kud" (クド,
Kudo
?) for short, the gameplay follows a plot line which offers
pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction. The narrative
details the lives of Riki Naoe and his close friend Kudryavka as
they start to see more of each other in a romantic
relationship.
Kud Wafter is a spin-off of Key's earlier adult game
Little
Busters! Ecstasy, which itself is an expanded version of
the original Little Busters! game rated for
everyone. Kudryavka appears as a heroine in both Little
Busters! and Ecstasy. Kud Wafter is an
expansion of Kudryavka's story after the events of the former game
and is written by Chika Shirokiri. Na-Ga returns as the sole art director and
character designer.
Gameplay
Kud Wafter's gameplay requires little interaction from the
player as most of the game's duration is spent on reading the text
that appears, representing either dialogue between the characters or the inner
thoughts of the protagonist. Often, players will come to a
"decision point" where they are given the chance to choose from
options displayed on the screen, typically two to three at a time.
The time between these decision points is variable and can occur
anywhere from a minute to much longer. During these times, gameplay
pauses until a choice is made that furthers the plot in a specific
direction. In order to view the available plot lines to their
entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times
and make different choices to further the plot in an alternate
direction. As gameplay progresses, the player will come across
bonus sex scenes depicting
Riki and Kudryavka having intercourse.
Development
After the release of Little Busters! Ecstasy in 2008,
Key decided to produce a spin-off of that game which focused on
the heroine Kudryavka Noumi. The project's planning was headed by
Kai, who returned to Key after he last contributed to the scenario
of Clannad released in
2004.[1] Chika
Shirokiri returned after his work on Little Busters!, in
which he wrote the scenario for Kudryavka.[2] Art
direction and character design was done by the artist Na-Ga, who previously worked on
Little Busters! for Key. Kud Wafter marks the
first Key game where Na-Ga is the sole art director. Yūichi
Shimizu, a new member of the Key team, composed the game's music
and was supervised by Jun
Maeda.[3]
