9 itemsAbout the Game
The script has been carefully written, refined, and localized, with a total length of around 40,000–50,000 words.
The story is kept tight and intentional, with every joke and detail carefully polished for the English version. It's more focused than a TV drama, and more complete than a film.
Over the course of 5–6 hours, every moment is worth your time.
This is a story that mixes comedy with more grounded, emotional moments.
It’s light in tone at times, but also deals with quiet, sincere feelings about life and change.
All in-game text is fully voiced—from narration to every character line.
With 26 background tracks and over 300 ambient sound effects, we hope the island feels alive, especially when played with headphones.
From beaches, caves, a lighthouse, flower fields, wheat fields, to local festivals, the world is shown across different times of day.
Every corner is crafted to reflect the charm of this small island just a few dozen kilometers away from the mainland.
Beyond their personalities, we focused on giving each character rich facial expressions.
These details enhance the storytelling and highlight each character’s charm in conversation.
