The anime school life full of twists and turns is waiting; and in this show you're the main character!
Move to a new town and live the last summer of high school once more.
You'll meet five charming girls and a whole lot of trouble.
Get that hot, high school girlfriend you've always wanted!
If you can...
"Heart of Summer"
An old "school" dating sim, containing everything visual novel fans love, but with a story that uniquely blends multiple genres.
Set in Takagi city in 2000s Japan, the game captures the charm of classic school anime and delivers it in a way never quite seen in a visual novel before.
At times just regular romcom, at times horror, at times... something else.
Written from the heart with "best of both worlds" as its philosophy, the game doesn't take itself too seriously.
And that's what the plot is counting on you to think!
