Clannad Side Stories

Clannad Side Stories is a visual novel that expands the Clannad universe through short standalone narratives centered on Hikari Mimamoru Sakamichi De. You'll read through scenes with existing characters, making choices that branch their stories in different directions. The format follows standard visual novel structure: text appears over static backgrounds and character sprites, with decision points determining which narrative paths open up. Each story explores relationships and character moments that weren't covered in the main game. The focus is dialogue-heavy storytelling about friendship and personal connections. If you've finished Clannad and want more time with its cast in lower-stakes scenarios, this delivers exactly that—brief character-focused vignettes rather than a full campaign.
