Sumire: Life Lessons and Introspection in Two Hours

Too Long; Didn't Read

Sumire is a 2D side-scroller following one very special day of its lead character, Sumire’s life. The story is set in a quaint Japanese village that wouldn’t seem out of place in a Studio Ghibli film if it was animated in a charming watercolour style. The gameplay is nothing out of the ordinary with most of it centred around completing minigames and finding items to progress both the main plot and a variety of side quests. At the end of it all after spending a day confronting personal demons and watching Sumire grow, does the game feel most rewarding.
