Sickly Days and Summer Traces Review

The previous work “Chun’s Virgin Sister” focused on the scenario, but this one is a game that specializes in gameplay.

[Overview]
An RPG-style game where you explore the sparkle of a countryside house map and progress events. If your sister’s HP is consumed and reaches 0 during an event, it’s a BAD END.
There are five stages called Tier0~4, each with set quotas and clear criteria.

[Scenario]
There are 4 endings. Depending on the maximum HP and happiness of your sister Asumi at the end of Tier4, there are 3 types and one BAD. Conditions can be checked in EXTRA→TROPHY on the title screen.
The first H scene happens in the middle of Tier1 and takes about 0.5 to 1 hour. It takes about 3 hours to reach ED.

[How to Play]
Basically, it’s a stamina + repeat game. The only way to recover HP is to properly level up the bed, which occurs once in the game. Obtain the right to refuse Auntie Sensei’s “diagnosis,” keep three “refusals of diagnosis” until Tier4 for maximum HP and happiness, and increase parameters in Tier4 to reach each ED.

[Impressions]
Pros:
・ The industry-leading character design and painting are still alive. Those who resonate with long black-haired sisters will surely want to buy.
・ The usual lovely scenario with your sister is still present. This time, more Tinkle Position colors come out.
・ BGM with a slight black package scent of “just a little adult,” anal attacks, and bondage costume play.

Cons:
・ Although it pushes for rural summer, the stage is basically inside the house and its surroundings. Due to the sister’s settings, I wanted more summer feeling.
・ There are 3 endings, but the difference is only in the epilogue after ED credits. It’s a shame that there weren’t more enticing episodes about family or sub-characters.
・ Due to its repeat game characteristics, multiple playthroughs can become work-like. Even with Asumi’s HCG and acting, it tends to be Ctrl’d.

I hear that there will be ASMR and manga developments for this work in the future. I expect that these might complement the scenario and settings as well. I will continue to support you!!

— ポゴポゴ (5.0/5)

A game about living in the countryside alone with your frail little sister, Asami. Compared to the previous installment, which was essentially an adventure game, a simulation game-like parameter management system has been added, expanding the scope of gameplay. While the option to choose your sister’s personality has been removed, a system has been adopted where the trends of events change depending on how you interact with her.

Overall, this is a flawless work. The quality of the text, CGs, music and other elements is extremely high, and the volume is more than sufficient. Despite being a game, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for something that shouldn’t exist, which is wonderfully atmospheric.

— HDMI (5.0/5)

My grandmother once said, “You can’t get off to imouto characters if you have a real-life little sister.” But that’s where she’s wrong. I myself have a little sister who is two years my junior. And yet, I’ve conquered countless imouto characters over the years, many of whom I’ve gotten off to before helping them reach their peaceful demise. Don’t let them pass on in vain, Clemens.
So what am I getting at here? It’s that even if you have a real-life little sister, that doesn’t mean you can’t get off to imouto characters. In other words, it’s all about saying “Ah, Asumi is so cute, so beautiful, so erotic! Come on, come on, shit, shit!”

The game in question features Asumi, a frail and lovely younger sister who has spent a long time in the hospital due to her illness. She adores her older brother and is blessed with a voice, appearance, personality, standing picture, expression variations, and still compositions that are all unbelievably good. She’s unexpectedly playful and erotic with a sensitive anus—the very definition of an angel. And Asumi isn’t heavy at all!

With the concept of lazily spending time in the countryside with Asumi, this work has you enduring events while being tormented by Asumi’s loveliness and eroticism. It’s almost an ADV-style RPG where you carefully progress through events without letting Asumi’s HP drop to zero. You gradually increase her happiness value and maximum HP while achieving objectives and advancing through the story.

Since Asumi is frail, she starts off with low stamina and can’t even do light exercise at first. If you push her too hard, she’ll end up back in the hospital—and that leads to a bad end. But as you progress through events and increase her maximum HP, she’ll eventually be able to exercise properly.

Once she can exercise, what do you think happens next? Any intelligent older brother would know—of course it’s sex.

In any case, this work lets you get all hot and bothered (in more ways than one) by the lovely, beautiful, and erotic angel Asumi. The everyday events are genuinely heartwarming—all the more so because of the perverted gap they create when things suddenly get wildly erotic.

To sum up this wonderful work succinctly: it’s a game where you spend your days in a heartwarming countryside setting while engaging in perverted sexual acts with Asumi.

S-G’s 8-tier rating + α

Picture: SSS
After 1 second of starting, I was like, “Wait, is the graphic quality really this godly even though it’s a doujin game…!?”

After 3 seconds of starting, I was like, “Wait, even if it’s in the regular price range of around 3000 yen, it comes with a theme song…!?”

That being said, this game is overwhelmingly powerful as it blows away numerous low-priced games within a few seconds of launching. From the main heroine’s illustrations and “the act,” to daily life scenes, sub-characters, backgrounds, and even mini-animated game screens—there are no gaps whatsoever. Of course, there may be differences in preference and taste, but if you don’t feel any disgust from the thumbnail alone, it guarantees that you will be constantly happy visually.

Game: A+
After the initial daily life part started, I found myself watching the mini-dot animated younger sister move around for 3 minutes (true story). She is charmingly cute with her broom, occasionally coughing cutely—she is truly adorable.
The game content is a standard “lovely slow life” type and doesn’t have anything particularly noteworthy in itself. However, the main characters who color the story are all individualistic. Although they may seem like “typical” characters at first glance, each has unexpected and comedic aspects that keep you engaged in progressing through the story. The volume of text is neither too much nor too little—it carefully draws you into the emotions while progressing politely.
Moreover, the skillful use of expressions that mix in specialized terminology to add realism while presenting game over conditions without any sense of unnaturalness made me involuntarily marvel at its cleverness.

However, despite being so careful about asthma attacks, putting a “22nd-century cat-type robot nemesis” in your chest pocket is quite something, Sister-sensei…

Eroticism: SSS
With these pictures!! With such cuteness!! The younger sister!!! Engages in erotic acts!!!!?! Where can you possibly find fault with that!!!?!???!??

Overall
Thank you so much for releasing such a divine game at this price (prostrating myself in gratitude).

— アサルト（　＾ω＾）ホライゾン (5.0/5)

I bought this game without hesitation because I really liked the previous work, “The Virgin Brother Who Can’t Endure and the Rebellious Sister Who Can’t Become a Puppy.” The characters, story, and above all, the etch scenes were all stable, and the quality was incredible for a 3,000-yen price range…

The play content that reflects the producer’s quirks matched my own preferences again this time, making it the best experience.
※Note: I don’t think the play is that niche (personal opinion).

The story is also well-structured enough to be appreciated as an otome game, so I think you’ll be able to empathize with the characters.
