Set in a picturesque Japanese high school, the game explores the romantic lives of its characters through a beautifully illustrated narrative, embodying the essence of teenage romance and emotional complexities.

The gameplay primarily involves making dialogue choices that influence the relationship paths and multiple endings, adding depth and replayability to the experience.

The game is notable for its lush, anime-style graphics which were quite appealing at the time of its release, and its use of a day-night cycle to simulate the passage of time, which affects the game's narrative flow and the availability of interactions with other characters. "With You: Mitsumeteitai" also features voice acting, which was a significant technical achievement for the Sega Saturn and helped enhance the emotional engagement of the players. Although it was never officially released outside of Japan, the game garnered a cult following, attributed in part to its emotional storytelling and the growing popularity of visual novels in the gaming community globally. This title remains a cherished part of the Sega Saturn’s library, appreciated by fans of the genre for its contribution to early dating simulation games.
