Overview
Support

This is the story of a world in which pretty much everything is controlled and watched over by computer programs.One day, Nanashi―a young boy who has been cooped up in his room―meets a mysterious girl.

“Let’s make some friends.”
“OK!”

Nanashi accepts the young girl’s sudden invitation without giving it much thought.
At that very moment, some very strange things begin to occur in town...

This title was originally a free game, but the paid version includes specially added events, Steam extras etc.

Free Mode (After clearing Story Mode)

Talk and mingle with the residents of the town, make friends, and play mini games in Free Mode.

This was the 3rd game I made, where I first experimented with a side-scrolling system, voice over and detective elements.
I probably spent the most time working on these 3 things, including revisions.

When designing the town, I had foreign cartoons in mind and was aiming more towards a foreign audience than a Japanese one.
However, the game is set in Japan of the near future and the character design is aimed more towards the Japanese aesthetic.
I took advantage of the fact the game is set in Japan to make some cultural references here and there.

"An adventure game where you make friends". Not a typical tag-line, but if there is any aspect that takes your fancy I hope you will play my game!
