You are a young boy who is going to study three years at the Kirameki High School in Japan. Your goal is to win the affection of one (and possibly more) of the twelve beautiful girls who also study with you, especially of Shiori, with whom you were in love some years ago. This is a simulation game with a high-developed statistics system. You have to increase your statistics in different disciplines, depending on the girl you are interested in. You communicate with people via your telephone, and date girls by going with them to various places. You have to keep your promises, otherwise a girl will become angry and even tell bad things about you to other girls, which will spoil your reputation.
The game's prologue begins with the protagonist (who can be named by the player) enrolling in Kirameki Private High School, which he chose in an attempt to reconnect with his childhood friend, Shiori Fujisaki, whom he has always had a crush on. On his first day of school, he meets Yoshio Saotome, who becomes his best friend, and the most popular guy in school: Rei Ijuin, the snobby grandson of Kirameki's chairman, who is beloved by the girls and hated by the boys. Soon, he also learns about Kirameki High's legend: couples tied under the school's Legendary Tree on the graduation day will be blessed with eternal happiness.

Tokimeki Memorial is a dating sim by Konami and the first game in the Tokimeki Memorial series. The first game in the series is particularly notable for its "bomb" feature, where neglected, infrequently-dated girls would eventually become angry and gossip to their friends, severely reducing love meters across the board. In the middle of the game, when the number of known girls was high, these "bombs" became the primary concern of the player, forcing careful planning and strategies like round-robin dating.

You pick up a good-luck charm Mizuho dropped to give back to her, then make a startling revelation - your photographer brother took a picture of Miho carrying the exact same charm! You go to the music room to confront her with this evidence - and this is where the true challenge of the game begins.
