About This Game

This is a generational action-simulation game set in the rural summer of Japan, where you live out the fleeting life of a cicada.

In this brief existence,
how will you live — and what will you leave behind?

  • Face powerful foes and claim victory

  • Or fall short, yet pass your will to the next generation

  • Or simply wander the fields, embracing the summer

A single cicada’s story — fleeting, yet burning bright.

■ Mating System

Even cicadas want to grow stronger.
In this game, you don’t just level up — you pass on your power through mating.
Soar through a vast open field, find your ideal partner, and mate to create a stronger next generation!
Control your offspring, inherit powerful traits, and challenge the enemies your previous self couldn’t beat.

■ Vitality System

Time is limited. Life is fleeting.
Your cicada’s vitality constantly decreases from the moment the game begins.
When it hits zero, your life comes to an end…
That’s why every second counts — who will you meet, how will you live, and what legacy will you leave?
To survive, you must pass on your life. A bittersweet yet powerful experience awaits.

■ Open World

The game is set in the peaceful countryside of Japan, in the middle of summer.
Paddy fields, tall grass, streams, rustling trees—
Fly freely as a cicada and explore a living, breathing summer world.
From above, the scenery looks like a miniature diorama full of detail and charm.
Discover, collect, and feel the world through the eyes of a cicada in this unique open-world adventure.
