New Character
Shiho Kasuga (voiced by Emiri Suyama)
A girl who appeared in front of Ao's party by some perchance. A model student who is also kind and honest. She excels in housework and also likes looking after others. She also lost her memories, although Kokoro Utsubo seems to recognize her.
Shiho will also appear in the free-to-play mobile and PC game Blue Reflection Sun, and she acts as a key person that connects the stories of Second Light and Sun.
Gameplay systems
Heartscapes
[Editor's Note: Heartscapes the official English localized term. The Japanese version more directly translates to 'Heart Tope', as in heart + biotope]
Heartscapes are mysterious spaces that appear outside of the school, which are given their name by Ao's party as a 'biotope of the heart'. The girls can explore these biotopes to obtain food ingredients and crafting materials. Memory Fragments are also scattered around here, and collecting them will let you see parts of the girls' lost memories. That will eventually become the key to unravel the world's mysteries.
However, various kinds of obstacles and monsters are residing inside the biotope, with a boss monster waiting deep within.
Refnavi
A being who suddenly appeared inside the girls' smartphones when the Heartscapes arrived. Although it provides essential information for the girls' livelihood, it has a creepy side in eavesdropping on the girls' conversations with the Free Space app or warning them to not get nearby Heartscapes. Its identity and objectives are still shrouded in mystery.
