A summer story told in choices
You arrive in a seaside town looking for the girl in the sky, and your choices decide which story you follow. Spend time with Kano, Minagi, and Misuzu, and the tale branches toward different endings, including the longer Summer and AIR chapters that tie a thousand-year-old legend to the present. Reading is the whole game: text to follow, decisions to make, and quiet details that pay off later. The soundtrack is a highlight, with Tori no Uta and gentle summer themes carrying the sadder scenes.
A polished version with voices and extras
You can read in Japanese, English, or Simplified Chinese, and change languages at any time. It also includes the side story First Sky Chapter in visual novel form, so once the main story ends, there is still one more sky to look at.
What should you know before starting?
How do you play it?
You read, listen, and choose. The story moves forward as text with voices and pictures, and at key moments you pick what to do or say. Those decisions shape which girl's story you see and which ending you reach, so replaying with different choices shows more of the town and its legend.
What is the story actually about?
Without spoiling the turns, it is about a traveler, three girls in a summer town, and an old tale of a winged being and a curse passed down through memory. The early chapters focus on daily life and friendship, while the later Summer and AIR chapters widen the scope across time and center on a mother and daughter learning how to stay together.
