My Merry Maybe

My Merry Maybe visual novel romance adventure game is a sequel to My Merry May visual novel in a similar style with other visual novels developed by KID. The game opens with the protagonist of the story, Hiroto Kishimori, a college student visiting a rural area for a teaching practice, driving together with a high-school principal at night in a rural area. While talking, they notice a white female silhouette on the road, barely managing to hit the breaks in time. Not sure whether what they saw was a real thing or a ghost, they exit the car only to find a young girl on the ground. They put her in the car and rush to the nearby town to find a doctor and help her regain her consciousness. After waking up at the school infirmary, in shock at first, she identifies herself as Rev, a humanoid artificial life form also known as Reprise. She has no memory of who her master is, an naturally, Hiroto ends up being her guardian until her owner is found.

The gameplay and user interface is similar with many other visual novels providing basic functions such as auto-play and pause, hide on-screen text to see background image and characters, message log which can be voice re-played, and many other game options which are almost identical to those in KID's Memories Off series. Aside from the player character, all other characters, male and female, feature full voice-acting. Characters change poses to depict different attitudes, but also include mouth animations during most of the dialogues.

As a direct sequel to My Merry May, My Merry Maybe continues the story which was originally planned as a trilogy. While both of the games are limited to Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 platforms, later PlayStation 2 release under the name My Merry May with Be includes both May and Maybe stories as well as additional scenarios.
