What players say
Short, quaint, relaxing, cute vignette into Japanese family life at home. I enjoyed a lot of the "daydreams". Not a large project, but a nice experience for the time limit which can be selected at the beginning. Really encourages you to explore. A well-made little game. Would recommend.

Oh it is really good. A warm hug of a game. Beautiful aesthetics and music. Nostalgia prepared and given to you with complete authenticity. Get lost in someone else's memory of a rainy day in 2004 Japan as a young boy. Get lost in daydreams and the boredom of being locked in the house.
