    I can't open my eyes because it's dazzling. Her whole body is wrapped in the voice of a cicada and the humid air. A faint sea breeze scent.

    Sitting on a wooden bench in an old station building. A nostalgic countryside landscape. The station labeled "Summer Fog". Single track railroad.

    I woke up as if I was thrown out of the light, and I had lost my memory.

    Curiously, no one was found in this strange land ...

    A slightly sad and fantastic first-person perspective ADV / walking simulator that unravels the mystery of the invisible summer fog people and "I".

    Why don't you relax and immerse yourself in the fantasy world of stories and scenery?

    Interestingly, this game participated in the Japan Media Arts Festival back in 2019 which, as far as I can tell, is quite well recognised across the broad scope of Japanese arts. It doesn't surprise me that it earned some attention there though. Nostalgic Train is an art work first, and a game you play second. Beyond even the "walking simulator" quality, this game reflects on the Japanese experience of summer in a meaningful and deeply resonant way. It might be surprising that this got a localisation, but it's a welcome one. Especially for people that are interested in learning something meaningful about Japan.
