System requirements =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Minimum requirements: Windows 95/98 Pentium 133mhz 24 MB RAM 4x CD-Rom Drive NOTE: I used Windows XP Home Edition while playing Viper V16, and have encountered no problems of any kind. Thank you very much to Sogna and Hobibox for providing the system requirement information. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= iii. Installation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= First, you must decide which game to install (Rise or Imagine). Rise is contained on disc 1, while Imagine is contained on disc 2. Place the chosen game CD in the CD-rom drive, and wait for the autoplay to activate. If it fails to do so, manually go in to the CD folder and double click "V16.EXE" to launch the installation. A window should appear now. First choose your language from the drop down menu. Then click "Install", and choose a folder to install the game in. Wait a short time (actual time depends on your computer), and you're done. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= iv. How to play =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you are new to hentai games, you are probably not familiar with the command selection genre. This section will give a brief overview of how to play this kind of game, and - more specifically - the controls and layout for Viper V16. Command selection games are essentially interactive graphical novels or short stories. Most of the gameplay consists of reading dialogue and descriptions, mixed with the occasional option or action chosen by the player. The top half of your interface will be an image or animation. This is a visual representation of what is going on in the game. Directly below this is a message area. Here, you will view dialouge, descriptive text, and - where applicable - make choices that affect the game and ending. When a conversation or description is visible in the message area, simply left clicking inside it will forward the message. In some cases, there may be a forced pause between messages. A small icon in the bottom right hand corner indicates when messages can be forwarded. When a choice is visible in the message area, move the mouse cursor over the option you would like to choose (it will highlight on mouseover) and left click once to indicate your choice. In Viper V16, endings vary greatly based on the choices you make. Even small, seemingly unimportant decisions can drastically alter the outcome of your game. Some menus do not have a 'back' button. In this case, right clicking allows you to return to the previous screen. =-=-=-=-= v. Rise =-=-=-=-= ----------- a) Premise ----------- Rise is a story about three young women - Akira (the woman with red hair), Saki (the woman with blue hair), and Karin (the woman with yellow hair) - who are kidnapped from the restaurant where they work by a group of underground beings, for the purpose of bearing their children. Aside from being waitress' in a restaurant, no real back story is given for any character other than Akira. Akira has experience in karate, aikido, and Chinese martial arts, making her a formidable opponent. She currently works at a restaurant with Saki and Karin as a waitress because she needs money. In Rise, you will take the role of Akira, and your actions will be her actions. While Saki and Karin will play secondary roles, you will have no direct control over them. ---------- b) Battle ---------- Depending on how you choose to play Rise, you may experience either a small amount or good deal of battle. Battles begin automatically at key points in the game, and are fought in turns. First you will choose your attack, then your opponent will attack you (only if you miss). During battle, you will see the following: - Your opponent (shown in the display area). - Akira's HP (message area, right). - Your opponent's HP (message area, left). - Normal attack (message area, bottom left). - Continued attack (message area, bottom right). HP - or health points - represent your current physical condition (or the physical condition of your opponent, as it may be). If your HP reaches 0, you have lost the battle. If your opponent's HP reaches 0, they have lost the battle. Attacks are used to lower HP. Akira's HP is automatically restored between battles. Normal attack is a quick, low power attack. It seems to have a higher accuracy than continued attack. The only real purpose of using this I could find is to forcibly lose a battle. Continued attack is a prolonged, powerful attack. I recommend always using this, unless you wish to lose the battle for story purposes. Once you choose either normal or continued attack, you must then choose one of three sub-types of attack; from left to right: kick, punch, chop. Depending on if you choose the correct sub-type of attack or not, you will either hit the enemy and they will lose some HP (shown via purple lines flashing across the enemy), or you will miss the enemy, and they will attack you (shown by various enemy animations). This process is continued until either Akira's or her opponent's HP reaches 0, at which point the battle ends. ----------- c) Endings ----------- Rise features a total of 8 endings. You can see which endings you have unlocked - and replay the choices that lead to them - by going to the title menu and choosing "REPLAY". Left clicking on a highlighted ending will play that story from start to finish, with no interaction on behalf of the player, other than optionally forwarding messages faster than normal by left clicking. The endings you get are based on the choices you make. Here is a step by step guide on how to achieve all 8 endings, as well as a brief explanation of each ending. Please note, there may be more than one way to get any given ending; these are simply the ways that worked for me. WARNING: THIS SECTION CONTAINS *MAJOR* SPOILERS FOR THE GAME.

He's a college student studying programming, and has an interest in games and girls. You will have the chance to meet and court three young women at your school: Haruka, a cute blue-haired young woman who wants to be an actress; Takako, a somewhat tomboyish blonde-haired woman who wants to be a singer; and Nami, a shy brunette who wants to be a voice actress. Which girl you end up with - if any - depends on your choices throughout the game. Be careful, as not all choices have an obvious impact. ---------- b) Endings ---------- Imagine features a total of 6 endings. You can see which endings you have unlocked - and replay the choices that lead to them - by going to the title menu and choosing "REPLAY". Left clicking on a highlighted ending will play that story from start to finish, with no interaction on behalf of the player, other than optionally forwarding messages faster than normal by left clicking. The endings you get are based on the choices you make. Here is a step by step guide on how to achieve all 6 endings, as well as a brief explanation of each ending. Please note, there may be more than one way to get any given ending; these are simply the ways that worked for me. The character you end the story with is listed at the top of each ending description. As a side note; when you see something like (Haruka - Takako) listed next to an ending, it means you start off on the path towards being with Haruka, but swing over to Takako before the end of the story.
