About This Game

◆Introduction

It's the year 2xxx.
On the outskirts of Akihabara,
a new hookah lounge opens its doors to customers.
Welcome to Hookah Haze!

Before long, the rookie manager Toru Sumiki notices that socializing with the lounge's peculiar clientele has begun to change them.

Tobacco flavor recommendations on social media affect who visits the lounge,
weaving the twists of the story nudged in this or that direction by the choices the protagonist makes in the course of relaxed late-night conversations with the customers.

◆Story

"Anything you want to try doing?"
The protagonist, Toru Sumiki, loses the will to live after being diagnosed with a fatal illness.
Toru's doctor insists they should make the most of the little time they have left,
and they sign on as a temporary manager of a hookah lounge.

Through this new job, Toru meets three very unusual girls.
Although cheerful at a glance, they're battling with work problems or past trauma,
searching for a place to belong.
As Toru begins to bond with them through hookah,
what will they find once the girls fully open up?
