I can't even remember where I got this from originally - I think maybe my friend Pond? - but I'm glad I finally got around to playing it, even if it is quite a short experience. It's very nostalgic and quiet, a cute little experience of being a child with an active imagination stuck indoors while it's raining outside. Nice mellow soundtrack as well which will probably go into my rotation. I like how simple the whole thing was. Hopefully the developer pops up again at some stage.
This game is a story about an ordinary Japanese family spending time at home during a rainy season. The family was supposed to go and visit an amusement park, but the weather turned for the worse and the young boy you play as has to figure out what to do while staying inside.
You get to explore the house and find different daydreams and talk to the family. It was a really nice little game, though it was very short to play. The sounds of the rain outside is quite nostalgic for some reason and the lovely atmosphere is very nice.
It's a very nice little game worth checking out.

Nice concept marred by technical issues, poor controls (why is opening doors so hard?), and a mediocre English translation. There are moments when the game works, like some of the daydreams, and the music fits the tone very well. I'd love to see an expanded version of this game made with more polish and attention to detail.
Really short experience; it allows you to start a session from 20 minutes, 40 min, or 60min. I knew beforehand that the gameplay is low. You're simply hanging out with your family during a rainy day.
You can explore some rooms, pick up a few items to hear the character's thoughts, and speak with your family members. At one point, I even sat next to my (in game) brother and watched the rain. That was all I did for a few minutes.
It was peaceful and welcoming. A good break from action/RPG games. The sound of rain was fantastic and there were times where I could almost smell the rain.
The imagination of a child exploring in their grandmother's house created some whimsical scenes. There's six of those cutscenes. They were spread out and felt fun. I do wish there were more items to click on and get a bit more backstory with the family. I had a relaxing time and it shared a wonderful message.
