An Immersive Island Getaway

Heartfelt Connections and Choices

1. Dual Character Arcs: Engage with two distinct girls—one cheerful and adventurous, the other introspective and creative—each with evolving storylines shaped by your interactions.
2. Meaningful Decisions: Influence outcomes through choices: encourage a girl to pursue her dreams, help mend a friendship, or simply listen to their worries under the sunset.
3. Affection System: Strengthen bonds by remembering preferences (e.g., favorite snacks or hobbies), unlocking exclusive scenes like bonfire heart-to-hearts or boat-ride confessions.
Unique Summer-Break Gameplay

3. Branching Endings: Your actions determine the conclusion—from a bittersweet farewell to promises of reunion—ensuring no two playthroughs feel the same.
Soothing Aesthetics and Replayability
The game’s minimalist design and rich create an atmosphere perfect for unwinding.
