Outline
An individually produced game that focuses on searching for rural summer landscapes in Ja- pan that are realistically reproduced, and following a written story that appears in each place. The main character “I” loses memory and wakes up in Natsugiri (or “Summer Fog”) Station. While wandering around the place, which is said to have a mysteriously vanished legend, the mystery gradually unravels. Players can walk and search about freely in a multilay- ered world.
