Traces of Everyday Light

About this Game

Set in modern suburban Tokyo, where traditional temples nestle between silent forests and lively shopping streets, you play as Yūto, an office worker navigating the intricate balance between career, family, and inner growth. Amidst the soft rain, incense-laden temples, and the hum of daily life, Yūto's journey unfolds over five chapters shaped by mindful choices and subtle encounters. Along the way, three pivotal NPCs—Emi, an aspiring kimono boutique owner; Daichi, a ramen shop heir; and Venerable Tanaka, a wise head priest—offer opportunities for friendship, guidance, and reflection. Gameplay revolves around exploring nuanced environments, where every decision shapes Yūto's Mindfulness, Karma, and Connection, leading him down branching paths of personal and communal discovery. Through evocative, painterly visuals and meaningful interactions, players immerse themselves in a story of impermanence, mindful living, and gentle transformation amidst the ebb and flow of everyday Tokyo.
