Real Sound: Kaze no Regret（Sega Saturn）
🔔 Use the controller to choose at the chime
A chime sounds at branching scenes, where selecting an option with the controller sends the story down a branch. With no visual hints, the foundation of the controls is listening carefully for the cue and the options presented. The system itself is straightforward, so once you understand the flow, there should be little confusion.

Because options are presented through speech, listening while doing something else may cause you to miss them. When the chime sounds, bring your attention back to the controller and listen to each option all the way through before deciding. Remembering which choice you made gives you a clue when trying another route later. The controls are not difficult if you respond calmly.
- ▸ Focus on the spoken options
- ▸ Return your attention to the controller after the chime
- ▸ Remembering your choice will help later
