Prototype to bring Key visual novel Summer Pockets to Switch in Spring 2019
It has been confirmed out of this week’s Famitsu that game developer and publisher Prototype will be porting Summer Pockets — the latest entry in a long line of Key visual novels — to the Nintendo Switch.
While no initial details have been shared on the game, it has been tabbed with a Spring 2019 release window in Japan. An overview for previous releases of the game can be viewed below from The Visual Novel Database.
Summer Pockets is set on an isolated, rural and peaceful island on the Seto Inland Sea called Torishirojima, which has a population of about 2,000 people. The protagonist is Hairi Takahara, a young man not native to the island. Hairi grew up in an urban setting, but after an unpleasant incident, he uses the recent death of his grandmother as an excuse to come to the island to take care of her estate sale. Once there, he gets to know four girls who are the focus of the story. They include Shiroha Naruse, who forgot her summer vacation; Ao Sorakado, who is pursuing the legends of the island; Kamome Kushima, a high-class girl looking for a pirate ship; and Tsumugi Wenders, a younger girl trying to find herself.
