The game follows the story of a second-year high school student named Maito Sakurai and features five heroine characters who Maito spends his daily life with and can potentially romance. The story takes different paths depending on your decisions, leading to different endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original game is well received by users for its well-developed story, well-paced comedic banter, and a cast of appealing characters, scoring a median of 82 and an average of 81 on <a href=\"https:\/\/erogamescape.dyndns.org\/~ap2\/ero\/toukei_kaiseki\/game.php?game=2120#ad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ErogameScape<\/a>, a Japanese user review website that focuses on bishoujo games. Fans have long been waiting for a sequel due to the original game having some loose ends and unfinished plot points. BasiL did release a complete version in 2009, adding new heroine characters and endings, but it wasn\u2019t really a continuation of the story.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u300e\ud83c\udf38\u305d\u308c\u306f\u821e\u3044\u6563\u308b\u685c\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b-Re:BIRTH-\ud83c\udf38\u300f<br>20\u5e74\u306e\u6642\u3092\u8d85\u3048Navel\u306b\u30662022\u5e74\u88fd\u4f5c\u6c7a\u5b9a\u203c\ufe0f\u203c\ufe0f\u203c\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%81%AD%E3%81%B6%E3%83%91?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u306d\u3076\u30d1<\/a> \u306b\u3066\u30aa\u30fc\u30d7\u30cb\u30f3\u30b0\u66f2\u300edays\u300f\u3001\u633f\u5165\u6b4c\u300ebeloved\u301c\u685c\u306e\u5f7c\u65b9\u3078\u301c\u300f\u3092\u5965\u4e95\u96c5\u7f8e\u69d8\u306b\u6b4c\u3063\u3066\u9802\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u203c\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C%E3%81%AF%E8%88%9E%E3%81%84%E6%95%A3%E3%82%8B%E6%A1%9C%E3%81%AE%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E3%81%AB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u305d\u308c\u306f\u821e\u3044\u6563\u308b\u685c\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C%E3%81%A1%E3%82%8B?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u305d\u308c\u3061\u308b<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C%E6%95%A3%E3%82%8B?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u305d\u308c\u6563\u308b<\/a>\u3000<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hEp9IawSzc\">https:\/\/t.co\/hEp9IawSzc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \ud83c\udf4a Navel\u3010\u516c\u5f0f\u3011\ud83c\udf4a\u3297\ufe0f\u300eSHUFFLE!\u300f21th\ud83c\udf3b\u300e\u304a\u308c\u3064\u3070\u300f16th\ud83e\udebd (@project_navel) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/project_navel\/status\/1515299798655827971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 16, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cherry Petals Fall Like Teardrops -Re:BIRTH-<\/em> was announced as a 20th-anniversary project by Navel, a game brand established by former BasiL members.
