Date Ariane HD, Something’s In The Air, and Rachel Meets Ariane
Together for the price of one game

You can download it at https://arianeb.com/sita/download.htm The early version of Renpy that Something’s In The Air was written in was not Android compatible, and when I tried to upgrade to the latest, it broke a lot of the game puzzles.
