Evaluation

Tomai is a free-to-play visual novel that launched on August 23, 2020 as a complete game with a full story, multiple endings, and bonus epilogue content. On October 1, 2021, the developer added a Brazilian Portuguese translation and explicitly stated that this was "likely the last update the game will receive unless there's bugs/issues folks find, or unless someone does a translation for me," citing inability to fund further translations. This is a clear developer statement that content development is finished. The only post since then was a minor spelling fix to the Portuguese translation on November 4, 2022, which is consistent with the maintenance-only posture the developer described. Both DLC items (the soundtrack and art book) were released on launch day. No further content has been announced or is pending.

About this game

Tomai only has 15 days before the annual Night Festival, a night which symbolizes his last vacation before starting his new job as a leader of town. Tomai has never been sure of anything except his love of fishing, so there's much to decide before his time as a free bachelor is up!

Will he spend it with his responsible Father, or the mysterious secondary leader, The Lady? Or will he finally take the chance to relieve the romantic tension between him and his two best friends, Burdoc and Malik? Help Tomai determine the direction of his whole life!

This game contains R-18 scenes, with the option to opt out entirely in the beginning of the game for a strictly PG-13 version, if that is what you prefer.

This game is recommended to ONLY be played in Windowed mode, as full screen causes some crashes. (The cause of which is still unknown, so the best course of action is to simply let the game be the size it is when it launches. Thanks for your understanding!)
