As it stands, there is sign of an English localization or Western release for this port. However, those interested can get their hands on the title for the PC, which does feature English language support. The PC version of the game also features high resolution assets and upscaling from the PlayStation Portable release.

Clannad Side Stories originally released on the PlayStation Portable in Japan in 2010. The English release followed in 2016 for PCs. This entry is primarily composed of side stories, which were released in volumes for the original Japanese release.

Adding More to the Story

So, let’s say that you’re a game developer or publisher, and you have released a game that has (hopefully) become a rousing success. The game has acquired a fanbase, whether big or small, that loves it so much that they want to see more. Whatever are you to do? Atelier Lulua The Scion of Arland

Well, you could go the obvious route and craft a sequel to the original. However, if you hope to create one that will please your fanbase, it will take time, money, and energy. You could always create a spin-off of the original, bringing your concepts into a different genre, but your fans would prefer to have more of the same thing that they enjoyed previously. Perhaps you want to release something a bit quicker than usual, since you might be making a sequel and you want to keep your fans’ attention…or you just don’t want to do much work. Either or.

Pretending that we are in a time before the advent/apocalypse of DLC, what’s your best option? If you’re like many developers from last couple decades, especially a PC game developer, you may consider creating an expansion pack. A smaller release that may reuse assets from your previous game, recrafted to offer a new story or experience for your fans.

A Day in the Life

Side Stories features sixteen individual short stories, each focusing on specific characters from the original game. Every story is available from the outset of the game, and can be played through in any order you choose. Aside from a pair of related stories featuring the entire cast, each of the other ones are entirely independent of each other. BodyQuest Switch

Each of the stories are about 15-20 minutes long, showing vignettes of the lives of the characters they focus on. Most of them are set either immediately before or during the main story of Clannad, although a few are set either after the main story or in the distant past.

When I first fired up the game, I quickly noticed two things: I was unable to control the speed of the lines, and there is no option to save in the middle of a story. As it turns out, this is because Side Stories is less of a visual novel and more of a set of audio dramas with subtitles on the screen. Once you make a choice of what you want to read, the story plays out at its own pace with out any kind of interaction from you. Each one is divided up into “chapters,” though, that you can select from before the story begins, in case you need to quit in the middle of one and come back to it later.
