Satoru, the son of a circus ringleader, has just arrived in a seaside town surrounded by nature. Enjoy a special summer in rural Japan, where you will meet many people and have amazing experiences. In the game’s open world environment, go to different locations without loading times or screen changes. Swim in the sea, climb a mountain, take the train to the next town… Immerse yourself in this flawless world as you embark on your adventure. Have fun interacting with the townspeople and your fellow circus troupe members. While you spend your summer days in the city, you will even be asked to direct the circus. A touching summer adventure awaits you.
