About This Game

— It was too precious. So I chose not to see it. —

◆ Genre

A first-person "seeing" experience — narrative adventure (ADV)

◆ System

Playtime: 3+ hours (no branching choices)

An original storytelling system that reinvents the fixed-camera + character-sprite format of conventional ADVs.

(1) A first-person immersive camera matched to the protagonist's point of view.

(2) Lip-sync and blinking synchronized with the voice acting.

(3) Character motion that creates the feeling of truly being there.

(4) Fully voiced from start to finish. Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese supported. Text and voice languages can be set independently — voices can also be turned off.

◆ Story

"It's just a replica — but I loved it more than the real thing."

Rei Shiotani is a high school boy who loves replica guns more than anything.

Law-abiding — exemplary — unremarkable —

Then, a turning point arrives.

"You've got a good eye, Rei. No doubt about it."

Standing there was Kotaro — a huge man with an oblivious look on his face.

A salesman's smile, and a scout's gaze...

"A friend of mine runs a business. Want to try working part-time there?"

The flattery was excessive, and deep down Rei didn't trust it — but he had no choice but to jump at the offer.

Someone had recognized his talent. That alone was enough.

What lies ahead — a summer vacation of just fifteen days.

What will Rei see — and what will he choose not to see?

◆ Characters

Rei Shiotani

"Like I keep telling you—the piston cup's shot. Plain old age."

A high school boy with a deep love for replica guns.

He has an exceptional eye for things, but the one thing he cannot read is the warmth people give off.

Satsuki Aihara

"A backwater. That's what I call this place."

A woman working at the harbor depot, looking somehow worn out.

A young carer who looks after her divorced mother; attentive and dependable.

Yuzen Momoki

"I've chased that back all my life. Wanting to catch up to it."

The man who hired Rei — the one standing at the top of the harbor depot.

Still young, he strives to one day catch up to the father he respects.

Kotaro Tsurube

"No need to freeze up. Believe it or not, we're all about your age."

The man who invited Rei to the part-time job at the depot.

Bright and comical — the depot's mood-maker.

Peko Tanaka

"You're all saying complicated things…… What's this about?"

The daughter of Koji Tanaka, the depot's investor.

Haughty, yet somehow impossible to hate.

That Guy

"......"

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

All content in this game was created by a single developer using generative AI tools, under full human supervision.
The scenario and script were written by the developer (writing assistance: Claude). All theme song lyrics were written by the developer. Backgrounds, character sprites, the logo, and the OP/ED movies were generated with Leonardo AI, based on the developer's own character designs, compositions, and art direction. The music and theme songs were produced with Suno AI. All voice acting was generated with ElevenLabs; every line in all three languages (Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese, approx. 1,900 lines each) was individually reviewed by the developer for pronunciation, acting, and emotional delivery, and only approved takes were used. Localization was assisted by Claude Code, with every translation reviewed by the developer. Programming was assisted by Claude Code.
The store page and marketing assets (capsule images, logo, trailers, etc.) were likewise created with Leonardo AI (imagery) and Suno AI (music). Screenshots and trailer footage are captures of the actual game (the game itself contains the AI-generated assets described above).
Every AI-generated asset was reviewed, selected, and corrected by the developer before use. No content is generated by AI at runtime. A breakdown of tools by production stage is included in the end credits.
