Long time no see, everyone! I've been incredibly busy lately, with all sorts of things piling up and completely no time to update guides. Now I've finally freed up some time to get things done. This time I want to recommend to you all the game Searching for Summer's Treasure. To be honest, this work is very similar in style to Summer Rhapsody. The pixel-art CGs are quite practical, though the quantity is a bit limited. However, I personally really love the overall story, and it's definitely worth your time to experience slowly.
The biggest problem with this game is that story triggers have absolutely no location hints. Sometimes searching for an event can make you pull your hair out, and running around maps can make you question life. So I made up my mind to create an ultra-detailed story walkthrough to help you mark every key point clearly. Currently this game doesn't have official Chinese, but the author has spoken up, saying they'll release an official Chinese version on Steam later, so you all can look forward to that. I played the version translated by the amazing Caocao, which was also ported to Android, so mobile players can play anywhere anytime. I'm truly grateful for Caocao's selfless dedication.
