でんしゃとれまる - 子供の心が優しくなる絵本パズル 2.0.3

“Densha to Remaru: Renketu de Kaiketsu” presents an engaging blend of storytelling and puzzle-solving for families, enriched by charming, storybook-style illustrations. This “picture book puzzle game” seamlessly combines an “Ohanashi Stage” that explores themes of kindness through narratives and a “Puzzle Stage” that offers satisfaction in connecting trains and coordinating colors. Together, these elements foster emotional development and empathy in children.

Story Pages
The blue pages of the book serve as the narrative component, allowing players to experience both the Ohanashi and Puzzle stages. Through solving puzzles while enjoying the story, children's intellectual curiosity is encouraged.

• Ohanashi Stage
  The icon on the book's page indicates access to the Ohanashi Stage, where children can enjoy stories through text and character illustrations. All text features furigana (phonetic guides), ensuring that even young players can understand the narrative with ease, aided by a narrator's reading.
• Discover Hidden Hearts
  In the Puzzle Stage, gently tapping on plants and trees reveals ‘Kindness Hearts.’ At the story's conclusion, these collected hearts can be tallied, adding an element of enjoyment to the experience.

Character Pages
The red pages introduce characters from the game, providing profiles that enrich players' understanding. Familiarity with the characters' names and personalities before diving into the story fosters deeper emotional connections during gameplay.

A Tool for Parent-Child Communication

• Replay Function
  After each chapter, a replay window allows parents to observe how their child engages with the game. Insight into their problem-solving approaches and interactions, such as gentle taps on objects to uncover hidden elements, creates opportunities for discussion. This feature gives parents control over gameplay duration, helping to prevent excessive screen time.
• Like Button
  Following the replay, parents can press a 'like' button to celebrate puzzle-solving achievements together with their child.
• New Features from Ver 2.0
  Enhancements include additional songs and updated narration (voiced by Haruka Tomatsu), visual changes based on heart collection during gameplay, a default easy mode (with the option to switch to hard mode), responsive reactions from characters when tapped, sparkly effects during movement, exclusive character gifts upon purchase, improved operability, and a tutorial video playback option.
