The listing, Hourglass of Summer - Interactive Anime DVD has ended.
"Hourglass of Summer" is an interactive Anime DVD game, similar to the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type books.. It can be played on basically anything that will play a standard DVD - PC, Playstation, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox360 - even your home DVD player. Game play is anywhere from 15 to 20 hours, with many different endings and several story lines to explore. If you are a fan of Japanese Anime, you are sure to be drawn into this experience!
There is some light scratching on the disc (it is from a collection other than my own) but I have played it and it plays through just fine with no skips or stutters.
I will also include a link to a walk-through (hosted on my own server) for this game if you are interested in it. I will provide this link to the winner via Listia Messages.

This game has a Japanese audio track, but there are both Japanese and English subtitles.
