This is a compilation torrent containing all the visual novels that were translated during the [al|together 2006 festival](https://apothes.is/hosted/at2006/index.html). One will find most of the translated VNs are still hosted at the festival's homepage and various other places; however, in an effort to perpetuate these titles' availability, this torrent was created. Please note that while many of the included titles have versions for various platforms (Windows, Linux, and OSX-PowerPC), some will only have their Windows release due to my inability to find the other platforms' versions. Finally, I hope you enjoy. There's everything from beauty to insanity to be found here. --- ### Manifest [Hitonatsu no Yume (A Dream of Summer)](https://vndb.org/r152) > Toshiki, the realist. > Mizuna, the girl he met on the roof. > And BROY, the school band whose members surround them. > > It's the summer of their third year, and Toshiki must face not only the school festival, but also a promise that he may never be able to fulfil.

And for the audience, it presents a rare opportunity to see some of the finest noncommercial works in > this vibrant and varied genre opened up to a wider readership. > > Last year’s inaugural festival was an unqualified success, ultimately producing eight translations. And that was organised on a whim: there was almost no notice given, and none of the participants had much idea > what would be involved. This year, let’s build on that experience to stretch ourselves further, to enjoy an even wider variety of titles and styles, and to further enrich the stock of titles available to move and inspire > the English-speaking world. > > If you want to know more about al|together, you might like to have a look at last year’s site – not only to read about how the festival came to be in the first place, but also, if you have not yet done so, to play some > of the works we translated. Thus ‘by our fruits ye shall know us.’ --- ### Credit Credit goes to the wondrous people who created, translated/released, preserved, and shared these visual novels.
