Hello, Good-bye (ハローグッドバイ Harō Guddobai?) is a Japanese adult visual novel developed and published by Lump of Sugar. It was released on December 17, 2010 for Windows as Lump of Sugar's sixth title. A trial edition was released in October 2010 rated for all ages. The primary focus of the game is the appeal of the four female main characters. The story resolves around the protagonist, Kaito Toubu, who is actually a secret agent with the ability to experience time loops.
In April 2011, an official fan book was published by Enterbrain, which contained a Hello, Good-bye four-panel manga titled Lump of Comic: HGB illustrated by Fumitake Moekibara who also provided the illustrations and character designs for the game. In August 2011, a Hello, Good-bye drama CD was produced by Marine Entertainment.
Hello, Good-bye is romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Kaito Toubu. Much of its gameplay is spent on reading the story's narrative and dialogue. The text in the game is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Kaito is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. Hello, Good-bye follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.
