Persona's social-link management H-Game.
And I am not kidding.

Oh boy, if you want to easily do all the activities in the game, like in the Persona series, you should transfer your progress to a New Game+ (sorry for the comparison between games, it's just close to my heart with all that routine).
At first (or it's just me), you won't be able to get what exactly the game wants from you. To raise each girl's affection, you have to do activities with her (or give gifts, which are few) AND do your homework. Which is at the bottom of the correct room. And if she's available.
After that you need to manage your ACTIONS (like interacting with a female fatale, sleeping on a couch, going to get bugs on a tree, or playing that fantastic fish mini-game - and there's more of that). But anything major will pass the time forward, so you have to be mindful of that.
To add, there are a few side activities with other girls that have not-so-pleasant mini-games or requirements (or it's just me being a whiner over something that trivial).
The overall concept is pretty good, actually, but all mini-games bound to an *ahem* meter (and it's obvious why ;) ) are not very good in my opinion.
Artwork is decent, unless you're in fullscreen mode (you'll get used to it eventually, but oh boy did I ever want an upscaler of sorts, not only like dev do in EVERY modern video game).
In a nutshell, I would recommend it. It's a good H-game with its own summer vibe. Didn't touch the DLC, though. And Uncle - get a forking grip, please.

I never expected myself to review this kind of game on Steam, but here we are, and honestly I'm pleasantly surprised.
Since I have more of a positive review than the negative one, I'll write the negative one first.

The game is made (i believe) by RPG maker, it will suffer a performance degradation over a long period of play time, and it's not exclusive to this game. Which also impact on how good you'll be able to do your mini game since some mini game requires precision and the slow down would definitely impact it, for example, fishing game. So if you are experiencing this, just save the game and restart the game.
The story and context of the game is fine... i guess... but for some people it might be unacceptable.
The resolution is low and there's no video configuration, but I guess the pixel art works... it just when it is enlarged, some graphics just got blurry even if the element looks pixel art, perhaps not having enough pixels.
Have no other Steam features, even overlay (maybe they have, but it doesn't work for me, perhaps too low res? Valve pls fix), at least it has Cloud Save, and trading cards.
If you are searching for mindless "lewd" game, this is not it, unfortunately you need to use your brain for the game to manage a number of heroines and has some resource management.
But if you like that kind of game, this might be worth trying.

Now, the good part.
The game is basically an eroge, especially if you apply the patch from the official website, just beware, if you also purchase/have the DLC, you have to download the DLC version of the patch since the original patch won't even install.
The art style and graphics of this game is quite interesting for these kind of games, this game uses an anime style pixel art, including the big character graphic and some "CG" when special encounters/event happening, while the environment presented as a semi-isometric pixel art.
The control is simple and conveniently favor "one-handed control" player, it does support keyboard for navigating some menu but you only need one hand and one mouse, with a working scroll wheel that can be clicked since the control uses Left Click, Right Click, Scroll, and Middle Click. It is really simple and quite intuitive, just don't play for too long or you hand start to hurt. Don't ask why I know.
Moving to the mechanics or system in the game, the game have several interesting one. Since this is an eroge, you'll expect it to have some "action", and that action, is tied to the progression system, which you'll have to unlock to have more intense action or movement, and it's not only "action" that can be unlocked, there's a perk to help you with side/mini game/task. Yes, there's a side/mini game, that is also tied to a heroine progression, so not only there's a main system progression, there's also a heroine progression that is progressed through interacting with the heroine, including doing those side/mini game, which also progressed the "story" of the game or the story of your relationship with that heroine. From fishing mini game (yes), math mini game (yes, use your brain), and I guess chore mini game (washing dishes), to additional mini games that can be found throughout the game.
The in-game day separated by several "time slices" where you have limited action during that slices before forced to go into the next time slices, where several character might do something different or at different location, speaking of location, there's also several locations you can choose during these time slices to meet other heroine or do those fishing mini game and other mini games or task.
Speaking of heroine, there's three main heroine and several side heroine, for a total of, allegedly, five heroines, I say allegedly since I only met one side heroine, which funnily enough, the heroine I completed the progression and the game with. My beloved, Kagami-san~
All in all... I was not expecting I enjoying the game and invested in the story or rather, the heroine. I guess there's a reason why the sequel is overwhelmingly positive.

Summer Memories is a mini-game filled "Dating Sim" where you spend a summer (30~ days) with your voluptuous Aunt and Cousins. It is designed to be a H-Game filled with lewd scenes, so full enjoyment is dependent on downloading a patch from Kagura Games website (just make sure to download the correct one as the +DLC version has it's own patch).
The protagonist is a very slight and small boy you name yourself(according to disclaimers he is 18+ but that's likely just to avoid issues, he's clearly a shota). The main three love interests are the boy's Aunt and Cousins. To woo them you must raise their affection with you, and complete your homework assignments, each of which consist of their own unique minigames. Achieving specific milestones with each character unlocks the ability to do more and more lewd activities. You unlock new actions by buying them in a point store, which you acquire by unlocking "memories" by engaging in meaningful interactions.
The gameplay itself consists of moving through several locations where you see an isometric view of a room or place, in these views you can interact with characters or perform certain actions such as taking a nap, using a computer, or taking a bath. There also consists several mini-games, most of which use a bar which you click your mouse buttons to raise or let go to let it fall. Though the gauge concept is carried over through many mini-games the precise nature changes. In one you'll have to hit the spacebar when the gauge is at a correct answer, in another you must wash dishes, but not too vigorously or you'll break them, in a fishing game you have to keep your gauge location hovered over the fish catch icon. Other minigames consist of just collecting certain items of varying rarities and turning them in for a reward.
The game allows you to freely explore the main house, which has three bedrooms for each of the main love interests, a bathroom, toilet, living room, and kitchen. Outside the house you can visit a mountain, a river, a beach, a school, and a shop, each with their own unique characters and interactions that can get you special items or allow you to permanently increase your stats.
The main goal of the game is to create lasting memories with one (or all) of the three love interests across the 30 days of your summer. You are unlikely to achieve this objective in a single playthrough, but fortunately a New Game + option exists where you can carry forward your money, stats, items, and progress with the girls, making it possible to get the ending(s) you desire. In addition to the main three heroines, there are several side-heroines with distinct scenes you can unlock, usually by collecting certain items, or finishing certain mini-games.
The game itself is not too challenging, and there exists many skills and items to help make certain goals easier. While there are many stats and skills to keep track of, they aren't too difficult to understand after a single playthrough and you can pick up on the general idea quickly.
The H-Scenes are plentiful and varied. Some are full-screen explicit scenes with visual novel exposition, while others are sprite-work animations that occur in the environment itself, with options to move locations (within the area) and change to different positions you've unlocked. You expend Stamina and Lust as you progress those scenes, but can use items during it to prolong the event.
Overall it is a fun and enjoyable H-Game with plenty to do, lots of replayability, lots of secrets, and some interesting mechanics and good H-Scenes. As long as the main character's size (Age) doesn't bother you, it will probably be of interest.
The only cons I can think of for this game are A) the resolution, which is very small. You can maximize or go full screen but this just stretches the image. B) There's little variety in different character's body types. If you like busty thicc women then it's fine but every heroine has that body shape, even the side-characters. C) The translation feels like it took a lot of liberties, it uses certain terms and concepts that feel like they don't fit in the setting (like E-Thottery). Overall I don't find the cons enough to be an issue, and I would very much recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the style they see from the store page.
