About this game

Before the Fireworks


A seaside town. A summer festival 30 days away. And five girls who will change one transfer student's summer — forever.

Umihara, a fictional coastal town. On the 30th day, fireworks from the summer festival will light up the entire bay. But before that, there are 30 days of story waiting for you.

Yu Natsume is a second-year transfer student who used to love photography — his camera has sat untouched in a drawer ever since. After transferring to Umihara High, he's pulled into the festival preparation committee, where he'll rediscover what makes a moment worth capturing, and slowly grow closer to five very different girls.

A 30-Day Countdown Story

  • A complete common route (Day 1 – Day 20).
  • Four individual character routes with their own Happy / Normal endings, all included.
  • A hidden true ending that only opens after you've reached all four Happy Endings.
  • An affection system — every choice quietly shapes where the story goes.

Five Girls, Five Stories

  • Hina Sakura — the committee's ever-smiling ray of sunshine.
  • Uta Hoshino — quiet and focused, hiding feelings easy to miss.
  • Mizuki Shirakawa — gentle on the surface, quietly unyielding underneath.
  • Rin Kiritani — sharp and guarded, secretly longing to be understood.
  • Mio Amamiya — a fateful meeting on festival night.

A Healing Visual Novel Experience

  • Beautifully illustrated Japanese school and festival scenes.
  • Full story and UI in English, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, and more.
  • Multi-save, auto-read, and text-speed options — read at your own pace.
  • No grind, no timers — just you, the story, and the sound of the waves.

Summer is short. But these 30 days are worth taking slowly.
Before the fireworks rise — who will you meet?
