Kiniro no Corda 4 cover

Kiniro no Corda (金色のコルダ, Kin'iro no Corda, literally: "Golden Corda"; Corda meaning "string" in Italian) is a romantic simulation video game series made by Ruby Party for the female audience. The official name of the series is transcribed in Italian as La corda d'oro. Often abbreviated as "Corda", Kiniro no Corda is the third Neoromance entry. The series's character designer and illustrator is Yuki Kure.

Kiniro no Corda is a school-themed 'Neoromance' series set in a modern setting, with magical elements downplayed. The series unites the protagonist's story goal and a character's scenario in a single game, with players coordinating their playthrough to a character's set of events. The main protagonists are silent high school girls, with special illustrations and third-person commands. This approach allows players to say their own personal responses to situations, rather than selecting predetermined quotes. Characters address the protagonist by her default name, even speaking it aloud during voiced events.

Setting[]

Fairies, known as Fata, are hidden with spells and magic, and enjoy the company of humans. One such Fata is Lili, an ancient "Argento" who can use magic at will. A man befriended Lili and asked her to grant the blessing of music to a school. Lili watches over Seiso Academy, a high school divided into General Education and Musical Education. The school holds a classical music competition, which Lili magically enters into the competition. Participants can see and talk with Fata during the competition.

The series follows a series of violinists who compete in various musical competitions, with the protagonist posing a rumored "Violin Romance" rumor. The series maintains continuity, with returning characters recalling events from previous titles. The third installment takes place eight years after the first three, focusing on the "magic of music" and the "Maestro Field" phenomenon. The series also features spin-offs, with the protagonist attending rival schools and varying characters and events.
