    I am just trying to guess why I can not score any game in this web, so I will see if after writing this my score will be saved.

    Such a beautiful game. Art, story, soundtrack, minigames are simply wonderful.
    Loved every second of it. Quite short with 3 hours, but there is some replayability, if you wanna play and try a bad karma walkthrough.

    Sumire is a 3 hour long narrative adventure game where you play as sumire, you have a dream of your dead grandmother wanting to tell you something, a seed crashes through your window, it turns into a magical flower and the flower promises if youll show them a day in the human world, they will help you see your grandmother again.. so you make a list.. a list of your perfect day on your journey to finally see her again.. and this game is beautiful from strt to finish, from the artwork to the music, to the story telling.. I loved every moment of this game.. along your journey youll talk to animals and statues, all with their own wants and needs to make them happy, and you have the option to help them.. in eturn youll get coins and good or bad karma based on your action.. the coins don’t do much but help you just buy random thing an complete challenges within the game.. but it bjut feels nice to help these souls within the games world.. make new friends, let go of old.. find love, its such a wonderful game.. my only gripe with this game is that I did run into a game breaking bug by fast traveling to the final area.. this is a known issue being worked on now.. but it did force me to start all the way from the beginning.. but it was worth it.. it was worth rushing back through to see this story out to its end..
    Sumire is a onderful game, it will touch your heart in all kinds of ways and is a must play.

    If I ever have a bad period in my life and feel lost, I need to remember to replay this game to remind me what it means to be human. Sumire starts off like a simple adventure game for little girls, but then it becomes more and more serious and emotional, and in the end, you feel so hopeful.

    Though I love running and gunning and high-intensity games there’s no denying that games with a compelling and heart-felt story are capable of leaving a serious mark as well.

Sumire, with you playing as a young girl who has recently lost her grandmother and is hoping to connect with her spirit, is one such compelling title. In her journey of only one day she’ll interact with a variety of characters and be given choices, most of which will carry a serious consequence in how things play out by day’s end so you’ll need to be mindful in how you choose. With terrific and colorful art, a great mix of the grounded real and the fantastic, and a meaningful story to tell, Sumire is a memorable experience story lovers should be sure to enjoy on Switch.

    Sumire is an adventure game with beautiful light-colored art and an acoustic music soundtrack. You play as a young girl who experiences a slightly special day in a somewhat mysterious setting, but that’s about it. You won’t find any deep settings and themes or an intriguing story here. If you like to enjoy admiring beautiful scenery on the way through a game without thinking too much, Sumire’s world might be one for you.

    Sumire is the type of game that anyone who loves story-telling and visually stunning environments will be drawn in by. It doesn't reinvent any of its inspirations - and in some places, like its puzzles and its replayability, it's noticeably less impressive than some of its peers - but the experience as a whole exceeds these individual qualities. GameTomo delivers on the promise of its premise, and Sumire is an easy recommendation for those who enjoy visual novels or memorable narratives.

    The first glimpse of Sumire's soft hues on the title screen indicate the strength of the emotional connection felt from Sumire's story. The messages arising from her adventure are powerful and will resonate with anyone who has suffered grief in any form, as well as help prepare people for how unique death is in its effects. The myriad choices that need making, plus the decent amount of challenges, encourage using the One More Day option once the game ends to this charming must-play title on Nintendo Switch.
