The first half of Rewrite primarily consists of the characters interacting in many everyday, enjoyable scenes. The basis of the story is set in a high school setting. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri ( 風祭市 Kazamatsuri-shi ?) where treeplanting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. To view all five plot lines, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different decisions to progress the plot in an alternate direction. There are five main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. Gameplay pauses at these points and depending on which choice the player makes, the plot will progress in a specific direction. The time between these points is variable and can occur anywhere from a minute to much longer. Every so often, the player will come to a point where he or she is given the chance to choose from multiple options. Rewrite's gameplay requires little interaction from the player as most of the duration of the game is spent simply reading the text that appears on the screen which represents either dialogue between the various characters or the inner thoughts of the protagonist. An average conversation in Rewrite featuring the main character talking to Kotori.
