Summer vacation with strange objects
The protagonist, Soji Shotagi, is invited by his childhood friend Akemi Hiiragi to come to a summer resort. Preparing for exams was just for travel, but he had no clear goals for the future. After picking up a strange object, the holiday begins to repeat the same day, and five women and their circumstances enter his life.
Five main characters
The five women the protagonist meets are Sumika Narukawa, Akemi Hiiragi, Yukino Sawamura, Miyu Kotohara, and Sayori Kinoshita. They range in age from eleven to twenty-three, each with their own family and life troubles; Akemi and the protagonist have been childhood friends.
A day of repeated memorization and practice
This game replaces the usual text adventure option menu with memory manipulation. Players record the timing of events as the text progresses, then apply them in subsequent playthroughs to find the conditions that change the day. The game has prepared endings for each of the five characters, showing how they navigate to different tomorrows and their actions in the loop.
