■ Story
Koishi had long looked away from the emotional weight quietly building inside him.
The game begins two weeks after he finally breaks down — mentally and physically.
Over the course of 60 days, he writes in his diary, rests, meets people, and chooses what he can manage that day.
Through the small rhythms of daily life, he slowly begins to understand the part of himself he had been neglecting.
■ Actions
Each day, the player chooses how Koishi spends him time:
Write in a diary no one else will read
Try to sleep
Do something easy on herself (a walk, watching videos, reading manga, etc.)
Go out (a bookstore, a bathhouse, a laundromat, etc.)
Spend time with someone
As these small actions accumulate, Koishi deepens his understanding of his own heart — and collects Words Worth Keeping.
■ A Diary Nobody Sees
In a quiet inner space deep within Koishi's heart — like the bottom of the ocean — you put your feelings into words. Through text and choices, the player reflects, and together you write the pages of Koishi's diary.
■ Dialogue
A minigame that unfolds when you meet a character, advancing the conversation through choices.
You spend Heart (HP) with each response, and clear the minigame by raising the other person's satisfaction.
■ Parameters
Four personal outlooks Koishi nurtures through daily life. They rise gradually through your actions and choices.
Oh Well
Being able to think "this is fine" even when things aren't perfect.
Know Yourself
Slowly becoming aware of your own feelings and patterns of mind.
Don't Overdo It
Not pushing past your limits, and resting when things get hard.
Frivolous
Bending the rules a little on purpose, to protect yourself.
■ Heart and Words
Heart (HP) — Reflects how much Koishi has left in him. When it runs low, he may not be able to go out.
Today's Feeling — Reflects Koishi's condition on a given day. Affects how quickly his Heart changes and how well he sleeps.
Words Worth Keeping — Collected through restful activities, conversations, and quiet moments. Through his diary, Koishi can explore what each word truly means to him.
