This version not only offers the best HD visuals to date, but the game's CG coloring has also been adjusted to better suit the Nintendo Switch console's display colors. Enjoy the experience with even more beautiful graphics!

Gameplay
Gameplay in this choice-based visual novel involves reading through the story while making choices at certain key points. Different decisions may lead to different outcomes, story branches and endings.
While the prologue is the same in every playthrough, different choices begin early and lead to emotional endings with five different characters.
Story
It's a winter's day, and snow is fluttering down...
On a bench in front of the train station, I reunite with my cousin, Nayuki Minase, for the first time in seven years. Nayuki and my aunt welcomed me back to this town after I suddenly had to move. It's also home to some hazy childhood memories of mine. In this town, covered in deep snow, five girls and I will come to experience small miracles...
