"The Cherry That Floats in the Sky"This majestic tree, sitting in the middle of a clear lake that reflects the sky above, has long been Kagami Island's most iconic landmark. The people of the island take it for granted, yet it remains a popular tourist spot. This all changes, however, with the opening of Kagami Wonderland, a new amusement park run by the famous Sagisawa Conglomerate.Tokisaka Ichito grew up under the wing of his magician grandfather, though he was never able to learn much magic himself before his grandfather passed away. His only power of note is his ability to see people's true emotions in his magic pocket mirror.The fourth main entry in the Da Capo franchise, and the first game to completely forgo the familiar setting of Hatsune Island. Also the first one to not use Roman numerals in its title. Much like Da Capo III before it, the game was initially released as an all-ages title in 2019, with an 18+ version titled Da Capo 4 Plus Harmony released in 2021.

Title Drop: The spell that Ichito used to try and undo his parents' deaths, and that Arisa and Ichito successfully perform at the end of the game to restore the mana balance between the worlds, is called the Da Capo spell.

Fairytale Motifs: "Kagami Wonderland," the heroine's name being phonetically identical to Alice without actually being Alice, the presence of a strange cat named Cheshi... The Alice in Wonderland allusions in this work are not subtle. Also, the mystical location Ichito sees in his dreams being called "Kagami no Kuni" or "The Land of Mirrors" is a reference to Through the Looking Glass.

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Looking at the key visual for the original game, one could be forgiven for thinking there are only five heroines, considering how Miu and Chiyoko are nowhere to be found. Interestingly does not apply to Walking Spoiler Arisa, who is technically alluded to with Arisu's reflection having golden hair.

Walking Spoiler: Despite being the main heroine, Sagisawa Arisa very much qualifies, as her existence is only given vague hints and allusions prior to her proper introduction in the canon route... which requires the player to clear the other six heroines' routes first to even unlock.

Book Dumb: Chiyoko, who proudly proclaims that she's got the fourth-lowest grades in her year. Doesn't really matter much in D.C.4 itself, but in Fortunate Departures it becomes the main focus of her route, with her grades slipping even further and her risking becoming officially "the dumbest person in her entire year, if not the entire school." And after extensive amounts of studying and hard work, she finally manages to rise up... to fourth-lowest in her year. She is incredibly proud.

The Power of Love: The game's tagline is "This love changes the world," so obviously this comes into play in some way. More specifically, it's literally the source of Arisu's magic power and what is used to restore the mana balance between the two worlds in Arisu's route.

 Da Capo 4 (Visual Novel) / int_9cb3e22e
comment
Interface Spoiler: One exclusive to the console re-releases: The Switch and PS4 versions of the game add bonus epilogues to each route. These bonus epilogues are accessed from a separate submenu that unlocks after one clears at least one route. It immediately contains buttons for all eight heroines, including Arisa, from the get-go. Admittedly the ones you haven't unlocked are just shown as silhouettes, but the fact that Arisu's silhouette appears twice immediately hints that either there are two of her or she has two separate endings. Additionally, there is an epilogue for Sorane that doesn't unlock after getting her initial Downer Ending, pretty overtly indicating that there's still more to her route after that.

There are a lot of details that either might seem innocuous or that are handwaved away as being something else that suddenly take on a whole different meaning after one has read the full story.
