Nursery Rhyme
Nursery Rhyme is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Lump of Sugar and released on November 25, 2005 for Windows.
The game, taking place 500 years after the events of Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity, is set in a fictional Japan where the existence of magic has been recognized by society, and thus has been the subject of much research. Magic is also applied to everyday life; for example, stuffed toys are able to talk. Users of magic must wear a special ring which controls their powers, and are urged to blend in with society.
Despite Nursery Rhyme being set in the future, Japan's culture is depicted as unchanged for the most part. Many of the characters attend Shousei Gakuen, a prestigious all-girls school which provides its students with magic classes, as well as academic courses. Shousei Gakuen hosts a female-dominated sport event known as Sophilos.

About This Game
Shizuma Hasekura, a sensible teenager whose parents are working overseas, is visiting his energetic childhood friend Makina Tomoe. Makina is gifted at sports — a game called Sophilos in particular — though her grades are suffering. Her older twin sister Yukina is calmer, tending to the garden and comfortable in the kitchen. Shizuma also meets Tita Flawless Brandt, a spoiled rich girl who is in constant competition with the twins. Rounding out the cast are Krile Shikishima, a genius with dog-like ears and a tail, and Rin Lim Venus, a shy, clumsy elf with ambitions to become a teacher.
