He and Tomoyo are now seeing each other in a romantic relationship, though Tomoya lives alone in his apartment. One day it is discovered that Tomoyo has a younger half-sister named Tomo Mishima who had been living with her mother, but was recently abandoned. It is eventually decided that Tomo will live in Tomoya's apartment for the time being.

    Gameplay

    Tomoyo After features a single main story path. It occasionally presents a dialogue choice of up to 3 options. The choices will further the story and / or influence events in the story or lead to a bad ending.

    There is a minigame called Dungeons and Takafumis that can be unlocked early in the game. Once it is unlocked, the option to play it will be made available from the main menu.

    Dungeons and Takafumis

    Dungeons and Takafumis is a tactical role-playing game. Its save file is separate from the visual novel save file. According to the main story, Takafumi worked with people over the internet to create the game, and Kanako wrote the story.

    Story

    A castle had a laboratory where magicians created Takafumi clones. The clones performed household chores for people in the day and worked as male escorts at night. The clones had no emotions. This changed when clone number 054 was created under the contract with a gay devil. This granted Takafumi 054 a full range of human emotions. 10 days ago, a storm hit the castle and and Takafumi 054 disappeared. Many Takafumi clones sold themselves to the beastmen to obtain information and discovered that Takafumi 054 was in a labyrinth under the beastmen's castle. The magicians were unable to defeat the beastmen, thus they resorted to hiring mercenaries.

    Floor 10

    Tomoyo explained that Takafumi 054 was a criminal. Kanako wanted to believe that he remembered her. Tomoyo explained that Takafumi 054 wasn't the one who saved her but Kanako wanted to see him regardless.

    Floor 25

    Takafumi clone 054 was discovered. He was suffering from amnesia. Tomoyo tried to attack him but Kanako protected him. Takafumi 054 revealed that the beastmen were researching a time travelling magic, Almighty High Magic Delorean. Tomo explained that the beastmen intended to travel back in time to kill all humans. Takafumi 054 explained that they must reach the lowest floor and defeat the beastmen.

    Floor 30

    Takafumi 054 recalled a memory of a travelling swordsman who rescued Kanako and fell in love with her. He explained that that memory wasn't his own. Kanako revealed that the Takafumi who rescued her lost his life rescuing her.

    Floor 35

    Takafumi 054 was ambushed and kidnapped by the beastmen.

    Floor 45

    Takafumi 054 sent a hologram explaining that the beastmen is almost ready to cast the time travelling magic and that they only had 3 more days to stop them.

    Floor 50

    The beastmen successfully traveled 1000 years into the past. Tomoya, Tomoyo, Tomo, and Takafumi traveled back in time to defeat them. Kanako discovered that they had saved the world but they were no where to be seen.

    Epilogue

    The beastmen appeared in the Central Region and waged war against humans. They took over the Central and Eastern Regions and drove the humans to the Western Region. Tomo created Takafumi clones and formed the volunteer army led by Tomoya, Tomoyo, and Takafumi 054. They reclaimed the South and Eastern Regions within 6 months. They spent the next several years assaulting the Southwestern and Central Regions and managed to establish a base in the Central Region.

    The beastmen withdrew their army from the east focused on the Western Region. The volunteer army assaulted the beastmen's base and successfully sealed off the beastmen's reinforcements. Tomoya, Tomoyo, and Takafumi 054 lost their lives in that battle. The remaining Takafumi clones spent the next several decades wiping out the remaining beastmen.

    The remaining Takafumis were imprisoned and the kingdom's magicians conducted research on the clones, attempting to reverse engineer the technique to clone them. They were unsuccessful because Tomo disappeared and the cloning technique disappeared with her. The clones created by the magicians lacked emotions.

    After Kanako read the history, she matured as a leader. She succeeded the throne after her father passed away. Kanako started a History Museum. Excavation for artifacts lasted for a year and she discovered many dead Takafumi clones. One day, she heard rumors of a living Takafumi clone in the west. The clone had no memory of her. He announced that he speaks on behalf of the real Takafumi and explained that he has returned home.

    Gameplay

    Dungeons and Takafumis consists of 2 sections, the intermission area and battles. It features familiar game elements which can be found in other tactical RPGs with one major difference.

    Intermission

    The Intermission area is the default area when the player is not in combat. This area allows for changing of jobs, replenishment of potions, and the save and load features.

    Battle

    Battles are fought on a 3D isometric grid field with 2D sprites. Dungeons and Takafumis employs an Active Time Battle system, where characters with high speed stat will act more often. It features a single dungeon which consists of 50 floors. Every fifth floor will feature a boss character, which is a stone golem for the first 45 floors, and a catgirl boss for the 50th floor. 5 floors must be cleared in a single attempt in order to save dungeon progression.

    The player can also choose to retreat at any time, retaining all the items and experience that has been collected. If the party is wiped out or the player chooses to retreat, the player must fight through all 5 floors again on the next attempt. If a character dies on a floor, he or she will be revived with 1 HP on the next floor.

    The party will be forced to retreat at floors 35 and 45 in accordance to the story.

    Days

    The score is recorded in number of days. Every time the player retreats, the number of days increase by 1. Thus, the least number of days in which the dungeon can be cleared is 3.

    Clearing within 7 days awards an S rank. 8 to 9 days awards A. 10 to 14 days awards B. 15 to 19 days awards C. 20 to 25 days awards D. 26 days or more awards E.

    Items

    There is no currency and shops. All equipment can only be obtained in battle with the 'Search' command and / or after clearing a floor. Items that are obtained via the 'Search' command can only be kept after the current floor is cleared. All items has its own weight and the inventory size is limited by weight. Items can be tossed away in the intermission and in battle.

    Combat

    Unlike most tactical RPGs, the only control the player has over combat is to set the characters up at the start of every floor. The battle will then play out until either side wins by wiping out the opposition. Actions and skills will be assigned to each character and they will carry it out in the sequence that was laid out for them. Each character also has a 'last' action that will cause the character to repeat that action until the floor is cleared, the character dies, or the team is wiped out. Characters cannot be ordered to consume potions or change equipment in combat.

    Skills

    Skills can only be used once per dungeon attempt. A buff or debuff skill will cause the character to stay on the same spot. An attack skill will cause the character to move towards an enemy.

    Experience

    Experience points will be granted to all characters who remain alive after a floor is cleared. Additional points will be granted per killing blow. A large amount of experience points will be given when a floor is cleared the first time and it will be decreased by 90% for subsequent clearings.

    Buffs and Debuffs

    Taunts and evade buffs cannot apply to the same character at the same time. Only the most recently cast taunt or evade will take effect.

    Character stat increase at level up depends on job class. A level up grants 3 bonus stats from levels 1 to 20, 4 bonus stats from levels 21 to 40, and no bonus stats from level 41 onward.
