Interlude was originally released for the Sega Dreamcast on March 13, 2003, a rare occurrence for visual novels, as most are released for the PC first.

Characters
The player assumes the role of an unnamed protagonist in the series. In the OVA, that character is voiced by Masakazu Morita in the Japanese dub, and by Marlowe Gardiner-Heslin in the English dub. The three main women are:
- Aya Watsuji (和辻 綾, Watsuji Aya) (Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (Japanese); Terri Hawkes (English)), a girl that is going insane. Aya is a skilled archer and lives alone in a town empty of people. Aya thinks that if she acts that if everything is normal, then everyone would return.
- Izumi Marufuji (丸藤 泉美, Marufuji Izumi) (Voiced by: Mami Kingetsu (Japanese); Stephanie Martin (English)) an office lady.
- Maiko Tamaki (玉城 麻衣子, Tamaki Maiko) (Voiced by: Yukari Tamura (Japanese); Stephanie Anne Mills (English)), a childhood friend of the player.
