What kind of game is Little Busters! What kind of game is it?
This is an adventure game in which you can enjoy a variety of endings, with the subsequent developments changing depending on the choices you make during the story.
The game also includes many mini-games, such as "baseball batting practice and games", "serving food" to help out in the cafeteria, "exploring the underground labyrinth" and "shooting" with the LitBusters members.
The results of the mini-games change the storyline of the game, but do not affect the main storyline. Some of the mini-games can be skipped, so the story can be progressed without playing them.
