About Scars of Summer: After
Scars of Summer: After follows best friends Keita and Ryoka as they return to the quiet village of Iriki for another summer. The sequel lets players revisit the ordinary season that preceded the pivotal events of the original game.
The game offers countryside pastimes—bug‑catching, watermelon‑splitting, martial arts, part‑time work, and an old‑timey gacha machine—while letting Keita call or meet Ryoka for brief conversations.
01 / THE GUIDE
Exploring Iriki
Iriki is presented as a rural Japanese town that players can wander at their own pace, providing familiar locations from the original title.
The town serves as the backdrop for the listed minigames and for encounters with Ryoka, without imposing a specific objective.
- Notice how the layout differs from the first game.
- Observe any new visual details while walking.

Summer Activities
The sequel includes five minigames: bug‑catching, watermelon‑splitting, martial arts practice, part‑time jobs, and collecting prizes from an old‑timey gacha machine.
These activities are accessed while staying in Iriki and are described as part of the summer experience.
- Try each minigame at least once.
- Watch how the screen changes after completing a minigame.

Interacting with Ryoka
Keita can call Ryoka while she is elsewhere, prompting a phone‑style dialogue about her current activity.
He may also seek Ryoka in person for face‑to‑face conversation, offering another way to stay connected.
- Use both call and meet options to see different dialogue.
- Listen for tone changes between phone and in‑person talks.

Continuing Original Routes

These routes are presented as continuations rather than new branches, allowing returning players to experience each storyline anew.
