Indie dev daimaGAME has announced the launch date for CICADA, their comfy Japanese summer adventure game.

CICADA will be available later this month for Windows PC (via Steam), on September 30th.

In the new adventure game, players will be able to experience the fleeting life of a cicada set in a nostalgic rural summer of Japan.

Here’s the rundown on the game:

Set in the nostalgic countryside of Japan, “CICADA” lets players live out the short yet intense life of a cicada. You will freely explore fields, forests, and lakes from a unique insect’s-eye view, challenge powerful enemies across the land, and entrust your strength to future generations through the game’s unique breeding system.

Each defeat is not the end but a chance to pass on your abilities to the next generation. With every cycle, your cicadas grow stronger—until the moment comes when you can finally defeat the enemies that once seemed impossible.

Key Features:

• Breeding System: Find and mate with powerful cicadas to pass on traits and create stronger offspring.

• Vitality System: Your life force decreases from the moment you are born—time is always running out.

• Open World Exploration: Experience the Japanese countryside from the sky, with forests, rice fields, and lakes to freely explore.
