Although each game is a stand-alone story, they all share the same depiction of an amnesiac heroine and a tragic ending (multi-ed).
The horror storyline, which does not appear from the character design or packaging, has had a profound influence on later works and creators, and many people have declared themselves fans of the film.
In particular, Double Cast is well known and has sold more than 300,000 copies.

Both of them are orthodox ADV and gal-game series, but they became big hits by incorporating light novel-like scenarios into erotic games, which had a great influence on later gal-game and light novels.
In particular, the “Tama-sister”, or Kousaka Tamaki, from ToHeart and ToHeart 2, was immensely popular at the time.
Both works have been made into anime.

The original version is for the Dreamcast and PS2, but has been ported periodically.
Although it has not been made into an anime, it is quite famous, with many creators professing to be fans.
