<What is 'Summer Road'? A 10-Minute RPG for Busy Adults>

● 'Auto-Battle' x 'Outfit Changes' x 'Roguelite'

Just 10 minutes per playthrough! A casual roguelite RPG!

Battles are fully automated. Simply swap equipment to build your team. Each 10-minute adventure unfolds differently based on route choices and in-game events.

Visually, the game blends the nostalgic charm of classic 2D RPGs with modern 3D graphics designed to feel fresh and approachable.

This is a game crafted specifically for adult players who once lost themselves in RPGs of their youth.

● A Journey with the Mysterious Creature, Mogumo

One summer day, a strange creature named Mogumo appears in a quiet rural town.

Three children set out on a journey to find Mogumo’s 'home'.

A small yet grand adventure begins as they meet allies and traverse forests and wilderness across the world.

And what truly is Mogumo’s 'home'?

The game alternates between 'Town Phases' and 'Adventure Phases'. In towns, players freely explore, interact with residents, and enjoy story moments. 'Adventure Phases' progress via auto-battle as players head toward the next town.

Equipment obtained in battle can be swapped instantly. Different combinations unlock unique combo actions.

Changing equipment alters your character's appearance. Coordinate outfits based on skill types and playstyles.

'Summer Road' is an award-winning entry in the '2nd GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest', hosted by Bandai Namco Studios' indie game label, 'GYAAR Studio'.

Developed by REBUILD GAMES, creators of 'Super Metboy!'. Though a small team of just one programmer and one planner, they are known for their proven track record and playful, creative game design.
