I actually have a ton of notes for the game that are pulled up across about a dozen tabs, each with different little tidbits that I want to make into a full description, but I will make the full description later. I will immediately point out though that the graphics on the right side of the screen are actually from a very little known game known as "Plus Beta"; it was a continuation of Plus Alpha, but released on Japanese mobile phones years ago...back in 2006. As such, the game is incredibly obscure now, with no easy way to play it...I was surprised to find screenshots to show the relation of it to Plus Alpha! The images were found on:

The primary (player 1) heroine, Selia, would also appear in the excellent "Game Tengoku" games from Jaleco, as well as Plus Beta. Rumy (player 2) does not appear to make an appearance in future games, though I could be wrong. Selia's name appears to have been translated as "Seria" in Plus Beta (which is understandable, as "Selia" is actually spelled as "Seria" in Japanese, with the "ra/ri/ru/re/ro" being sometimes translated as "la/li/lu/le/lo") and the male character seems to be named Michael.
