An English version of the original game for Windows was released by Visual Arts in 2020. Reflection Blue has also additionally been ported to the PlayStation 4. Both the original game and Reflection Blue have been ported to iOS and Android devices, and the Nintendo Switch. An expanded version of the game titled Summer Pockets Reflection Blue was released on Jin Japan. Summer Pockets is Key's 13th game, following its previous games such as Kanon, Air, and Clannad. It was released on Jfor Windows and is rated for all ages. It certainly feels like the closing chapter of the heroine routes.Summer Pockets is a Japanese visual novel developed by Key, a brand of Visual Arts. Tsumugi’s route does the most questioning of the greater narrative, and features lots of entire-cast moments (which the other routes lack.) Already being familiar with all of the characters and their stories transforms these moments from average slice of life scenes to fun group activities.

Kamome and Tsumugi’s routes have a decent overlap during the map segments, the two can be worked on at the same time for efficiency. Knowing the lay of the land before starting the route makes it a slightly more fun experience in my opinion. Kamome’s route is largely standalone, however it features a lot of map exploration.

It also spends the most time developing the island’s lore, however some of that is reliant on information from Shiroha’s route.

Ao second:Īo’s route answers the setup left by Shiroha, and will make the Tsumugi and Kamome routes actually make sense. The other routes abridge the Hairi-focused events of Shiroha’s route. It is also the route that best develops Hairi. Shiroha blends seamlessly into Ao route, and directly questions things that will be answered in Ao’s route. I believe the best order to be Shiroha > Ao > Kamome > Tsumugi.Īo > Kamome > Tsumugi > Shiroha is a decent alternative, however I prefer the first order for several spoilery reasons.
