Boku's mom is due to give birth any day, so she and his dad have sent him out to the countryside to live with his aunt so they can have less on their plate. Boku is the inquisitive, exploratory type, so even though he doesn't know the town or anyone in it, he makes it his mission to explore every nook and cranny. Along the way, he'll make new friends and participate in a number of staple summer activities in the Japanese countryside. But as with real life, time flies when you're having fun.

Spend your time wisely and see if you can make the most of this special summer vacation!

There are many games to play, bugs and fish to catch, and items to collect around town while you explore and make new friends, but there's only so much time in each day, and summer break is only so long. The clock is always ticking while you're in control of Boku, so you'll have to pick and choose how to spend your time in an effort to let him have the most enjoyable summer vacation possible!

You'll catch bugs to battle in rock-paper-scissors-style turn-based RPG battles, go fishing to learn what's in the waters in and around town, use tools to open up new paths to explore, make a variety of new friends, and enjoy all kinds of staple summertime activities in the Japanese countryside. It's up to you what you do and when, but can you manage to do it all before summer break ends?

Explore the Town

Since it's Boku's first time in this town, of course he's gotta explore! More and more of the town and its surroundings will become explorable as you locate more key items and experience more events that open up new paths.

Catch Some Critters

If you get your hands on a bug net or a fishing rod, you can use them to catch bugs or fish! There are all kinds of species to find, so see if you can complete your collection!

Battle Your Bugs

One of the Mt. Himeno Guardians' favorite pastimes is bug battling! Train up the bugs you've caught and use them in one-on-one rock-paper-scissors-style RPG battles to see who comes out on top! Word is there's even a tournament coming up soon...

You're on the Clock

Whenever you have control of Boku, time will pass. Whenever Boku participates in an activity, time will pass. Summer break is only so long, and time flies when you're having fun. Will you be able to have all the fun you want before summer ends?
