Description: Innocent Forest is fantasy story about a girl called Luclei and the memories of her visitors. The forest of lost memories: a place where they say you can forget one painful occurrence. Kei, (voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi) a young man lost in the forest, encounters a mysterious girl named Luclei (voiced by Rina Hidaka) who lives among the woods and gathers a flock of birds. It is through these birds the past, present and future of lost memories unfolds.

Review: While it was nice to read through the story and look at the ever changing scenes all around me I would have preferred full English narration. But personally, I do love these virtual novels and I find VR really helps to set the tone of the story, making it easier to understand than simply reading it through a book or comic. Anyone who is a fan of Japanese Anime will love it, but it’s also a rather nice story for little ones to read.
