This is such a representative sound novel that it could be said that sound novel = "Kamaitachi no Yoru". THE Sound Novel.

Shizuku
Shizuku
The original and legitimate visual novel.
Leaf and Aquaplus were the first to use the genre name visual novel. The visual novels that came out after ToHeart were just thoughtlessly put into the visual novel genre that companies other than Leaf created on their own. The only four legitimate visual novels are these Shizuku, Kizuato, ToHeart and Routes.

By the way, this Shiziku cover art is from the remake version.
