About This Game

Story

Keita and Ryoka have lived in the small village of Iriki for years as best friends who spend every summer vacation having fun together. In this sequel to the original game, you can go back and experience your last normal summer together, a year before the summer that changed everything, and then experience that summer all over again.

Every route from the original has a sequel here, which both fills in gaps from Scars of Summer and shows what comes after. There are also new routes added, including one with an older Ryoka and a route that may not be quite so bad as all the others. ...Is it possible to get a happy ending after all?

Gameplay

Explore a rural Japanese town, enjoying various activities either alone or with Ryoka. Through fun minigames, try bug-catching, watermelon-splitting, martial arts, part-time jobs, and collecting all the prizes from an old-timey gacha machine.

Keita doesn't have much influence, but he can call Ryoka while she's on her own to chat about what she's doing, or seek her out to talk in person. It's up to you to decide how to stay connected!

Additionally, Scars of Summer: After adds a route where you play as Saki, exploring the entire game map and seeking out special individuals who can help her save Iriki.

Characters

Keita:

A young man who cares about his childhood friend, but has trouble admitting how much.

Ryoka:

Keita’s childhood friend who secretly has feelings for him. She's a basketball star and a total tomboy, but she's got the looks of a model. Because of this, she tends to draw attention from men. Will Keita be able to reach her heart before she's snatched away by another man?

Saki:

Ryoka's older sister who looks after Ryoka and takes care of the house. She's a kind and gentle soul, but perhaps she's too nice for her own good! She always has trouble turning down a favor, so she finds herself helping out around the village a lot. But what exactly happens while she's helping out the men inside (and outside) the village?
