The inaudible piano
Ayuto's father, a senior in high school, was a famous pianist, and his younger brother Tokio inherited his musical talent; Ayuto was unable to hear the piano and lost part of his childhood memories; it was unclear when this situation started. Despite inexplicable deficiencies, he maintains good relationships with his family, often works part-time, and hopes to support his younger brother's future development.
Two young girls
Eri Tachibana is Ayuto's classmate and serves as the strong captain of the women's karate club. The two were very close; others even thought they were dating, but Bu Ren never openly confessed their feelings. Another girl, Amane Sari, suddenly appears, claiming to possess memories of the future. Her appearance connects the Stepper Step's past, present feelings, and events that have yet to happen.
The last high school summer
Abuto searches for direction between his younger brother's talent, his own confusion, and their two relationships. By her side is Angie, the easygoing and caring male karate club captain. The story places musical experiences and campus interactions within the same limited summer, with hints from future memories gradually shaping the characters' existing relationships.
Selection and adaptation forms
The game progresses by reading text, watching visuals, and listening to voice acting, with choices to decide which girl to ultimately bond with, with two possible endings. The original work is a novel of the same name published by the new trend library nex, while the game version presents this love triangle through branching, character performances, and soundtrack. The production team expects the process to take about four to five hours.
Production and distribution
Wasabi Ono was responsible for the script and production direction, Shimoguri handled key animation, Pearlette served as art director, Muu Dogg handled sound coordination, and Ryosuke Hayashi served as director. Sari, Eri, and Angie are voiced by Asaki Yukigawa and Atsushi Akari Kito and Atsushi Otamaru, respectively. The game offers Japanese audio as well as Chinese, English, and Japanese, and is available for download on Steam and Switch.
Younger brother and piano
Ayuto's father was a late pianist, and his younger brother Tokio inherited musical talent. The walker cannot hear the piano, nor do they know the reason or the start time; He did not become distant from his family because of this, but instead worked to support his brother's future.
Classmates and clubs
