❤ Freely Explore a Charming Rural Town

Players freely roam the lush, hand-drawn environments of Assou, uncovering new areas and secrets as the story progresses. The town's colorful cast of characters and detailed, picturesque landscapes invite players to simply immerse themselves in the tranquil atmosphere.

❤ Catch Diverse Bugs and Fish

A core gameplay loop tasks players with equipping a bug net or fishing rod to seek out and capture a wide variety of insects and aquatic creatures. Cataloging rare or unique specimens in the in-game encyclopedias provides a sense of accomplishment.

❤ Assist the Friendly Townspeople

In addition to exploration, players regularly help the Assou residents with various errands and tasks, such as delivering items, sourcing ingredients for the local café, or supporting the town's newspaper. These activities create meaningful interactions with the charming cast.

❤ Engage in Whimsical Dinosaur Battles

At certain points, players unexpectedly encounter and compete in turn-based "Dino Card" battles against other children. These dinosaur-themed contests add a touch of playful creature-collecting to the overall experience.

❤ Partake in Relaxing Diversions

Players can take breaks from the main storyline to engage in calming side activities, like growing vegetables, becoming a radio DJ, or enjoying a soothing evening bath. These diversions further immerse the player in the tranquil atmosphere of Assou.

❤ Express Individuality

The game allows for player expression through customization options, photography, and even a silly "butt-alien" dance, contributing to a sense of agency and personalization within the game world.

❤ Compelling Narrative Progression

While the gameplay primarily focuses on exploration, collection, and helping townspeople, the overarching narrative of the time loop and the mysterious Professor Akuno provides a consistent through-line to propel the player forward, blending slice-of-life activities with a fantastical, time-bending mystery.
