About Summer of Memories
We all grow up someday.
Time passes, the world changes, and we change with it.
And so we present to you a tribute, to the summers of our youth.
---------------------------
Overview
---------------------------
Summer of Memories is a casual, easy-to-play narrative game set in Japan in the late Showa era.
Just pick a few items for our protagonist Sosuke to put in his backpack for the day, and off he'll go to explore. When he returns, he'll regale you with tales of his adventures. From bug-hunting to beaches to friends to family—many stories both sad and sweet await you.
So put on that swimsuit, collect everything under the sun, and come share an unforgettable summer with Sosuke and a wide cast of characters!
Oh, and of course, this game is free to play from start to finish!
---------------------------
Story
---------------------------
Ah, summer break, and those lazy days of carefree fun in the sun! A time for adventure, yes, and a time to forge unforgettable memories, too.
This is the tale of one boy's summer on a small rural island near Shikoku. It is a story of surprising encounters and melancholy goodbyes.
A humble chronicle, yet even the most ordinary of things can live on in our hearts forever.

This was just- I’m in awe
Oct 5, 2020 This was such an amazing game. It was very cute, very relaxing, but also very riling. The game play was really nice. I thought the fact that Sosuke chose when he wanted to leave was nice. That way it didn’t really feel like an obligation, but that he/you really wanted to explore these places. I use he/you that way, because this game REALLY DOES make you invested in it and like want to go to these different places. See what they’re like. Plus the storyline. Ugh, don’t even get me started. It was so- Cool! That’s the only other way I can put it. I personally, was hoping that Sosuke would decide to stay on the island where he’s happy, but he does need to be with his mother. I feel like I also learned things that he learned with him. He really learned to understand her better and I think that was a really nice idea for it. I genuinely cried at the end, though. Seriously developers. I was in search of a nice game that I wouldn’t get tired of. And that was this. Though it was short, it brightened my day every time!!! So 1) Thank you and 2) Great job. This was perfect in my eyes. <3more -
Jan 25, 2021 What a nostalgic game... I got a Normal Ending just now and had to write a review. Its one of those games where you just chill and open the game once a day, yet it was written very well, and everything feels very real and natural. Thank you for this lovely gem.more -
Heart-touchingly relatable
Sep 28, 2020 Having played the other games of this developer, I must say this is their best work yet. They clearly put a lot of love and effort into their games. The games are not much in gameplay and are almost all about the story (much like a visual novel game), which I throughly appreciate. This one in particular is very relatable and hits so close to home! I highly recommend for anyone and everyone to play this game. You won’t regret all those peaceful minutes you spend in the beautiful world. It has some sad moments, some happy ones, and some funny ones too! Everything you need for an emotional adventure is right here in this little game. Please feel free to pick it up and support the amazing developers!more -
Feb 1, 2021 Idk what to say about this masterpiece cuz its not enough wow the story and the dialogues specially is incredible and so deep It deals with almost everything that a person goes through during his life periods, whether from the moments he lived, the feelings he goes through, or someone misses him or some stage he passes through. It is amazing that you cannot describe it. Thank you thank you for this game❤👏more -
A diamond in the rough
Sep 25, 2020 This game is a true stress reliever- it’s simple to play with an engaging story that doesn’t force you or manipulate you into buying anything to actually play. There is a power up that makes the game completely effortless to play and there are occasional ads that give you rewards, but they’re inconsequential and not really needed unless you’re trying to speed through the game. I finished this game in about a week, maybe less, and I honestly wish it were a bit longer only because I was having so much fun. 100% recommend this game, along with the developers earlier titles such as the Showa Candy Shop series.more

Great game but needs some improvements
Sep 24, 2020 This game is really cute as all other Gagex games are. I just wished that time wouldn’t pass so fast, or that there’s a pause function if you want to take a break from the game. I just got the game a few days ago and almost the whole month is gone. Also! It was really easy to complete most if not all the collections and memories, so I would like some new characters to appear. Maybe Sosuke’s mom can show up one day?more -
Jan 3, 2021 Hello, I've been playing your games since Showa Candy Shop 2 was around, they're really great (especially the stories). This game is amazing too! Keep up the good work :) And if anyone wants to know, some treasures can only be obtained after unlocking dialogues with certain characters.more -
Wonderful Story!
Oct 2, 2020 I have also played Hungry Hearts and Showa Candy Shop. Every time, the game takes you for a rich, colourful adventure. You’ll build remarkable relationships with the characters and at the end? You’ll feel nostalgic for everything you’ve just experienced. The wait for this game was worth it, and I look forward to the next game. <3more -
An actual review from a person who actually played this game 😁
Dec 29, 2020 Hello!! I’ve completed the whole game already and I love it!!! But there are a lot of adds.. I’ve deleted it and re-download it again to see if I can get other endings, can you make more games like this?? Thanks!!! 🙏 😊 P.s. I got ending 1 it was so sweet 🥰more -
Jan 17, 2021 i will give this 5 star if not because of the error in the dialog... there are a lot of dialog with the wrong name and person talking... if you can fix this it will be a more engaging and fun game

Great games bad ads
Sep 9, 2020 I used to love every game this creator made, and recently I redownloaded them and got this one, and realised i could no longer buy the ads away on most of the games, which made the once peaceful and calming journey riddled with loud, irritating ads that ruin the experience. It does not encourage me to share the app or buy the boosts anymore, because I cannot buy away the stress that pops up between every other screen.more -
Jan 1, 2021 This is a great game👍, but there are to many forced ads..it was only a few seconds since i skipped an ad and i already got another ad..overall, this is really cute and relaxing game, i just wish there werent as many ads..then ill add 5 stars :)more -
Ads?!
Jan 13, 2021 This game is so cute and I love the gameplay but the amount of ads I get flipping between the menus is absurd! Ad after ad, even when I’m just sitting at the family shop, I get a random ad! That’s my only issue with this game

What’s Groovy
Beautiful story, lovely art, and a bittersweet experience. Strongly recommended! Useful Tip: there's a map which can show you where people are and how much you've explored a given location. The location tickets and the camera are really helpful too. Only downside to this game is the abrupt ads can be super annoying at times but I'm glad I stuck with it to the end. I love it so much! 💖

It's a very relaxing game, with interesting conversations in between making you feel as if you are in that moment. It doesn't rely on real time, or daily rewards so I think it's a big plus that you can play on you own time.

What about Sayaka!?
I love this game, it’s so calming and wholesome and makes my day whenever I play it. But I have one question, WHY IS SAYAKA NOT THE ONE YOU MARRY IN THE GOOD ENDING!!?? They are so cute together, and often show emotions for each other, so when I started reading the good ending, I was so excited because I thought he was marrying Sayaka, but he wasn’t! I feel like there should be an ending with the main character as an adult, moving to the island, seeing everyone again, and marrying Sayaka. I’m not hating on the game, I just think it would be a better ending to leave players on. ❤️ -
Beautiful story writing, especially the grandma's in the main story, I think I loved that the most. But the dialogue is often wrong with which character is talking, it would put it under the wrong person's name. This is a bug that should be fixed. I also can't unlock all the dialogues for all the characters, in my second play they most often just don't appear on the map. Edit:Just realized the main story the 2nd time playing changes. That was my missing dialogue haha.

Relaxing and wholesome game
I downloaded Summer of Memories because I enjoyed playing Hungry Hearts Diner. Summer of Memories is another relaxing game where you read wholesome stories of all the characters. You don’t do much other than collecting coins from customers and packing Sosuke’s backpack. This game is for you if you like games that aren’t time consuming and enjoy reading dialogues of people’s stories that eventually turn into something deep. Thank you to the developers for another great game! I look forward to more in the future. -
It's a short summer holiday story. But somehow I got attached to all the characters all the same. Story, graphic, gameplay it were all so simple yet so enjoyable. And the collection album makes me want to complete them. Recommended for people who want to take a bit of off time from hectic daily life. The bgm is so relaxing.

Really really great game
This game literally moved me right back to my care-free childhood days... So nostalgic. And super beautiful sceneries are huge plus!
