On the other hand, they can provide valuable hints, such as being able to read the excerpts of the newspaper articles regarding the tragedies that occurred in Hinamizawa's past. These TIPS allow the player to read various supplementary information that may or may not be useful in solving the mystery.
The game utilizes intermissions where the player can obtain several TIPS. While a visual novel's basis would be the visual aspect, as the name suggests, a sound novel's basis takes more care in producing an atmosphere via the music, sound effects, and the story itself. The original release contained no voice acting for the characters.
