A slow-burning countryside romance with playful misunderstandings and a cozy, low-stakes cafe management backdrop.

What players say

Players love the summer atmosphere and the distinct personalities of the five heroines, though they are split on which is best. The game is described as cringe but addictive, with meaningful choices that lock out other paths. Some note rough translation into non-English languages and minor subtitle bugs.
