GameTomo have announced “narrative quest-driven adventure” Sumire, where you have just one day to help a town before dying.

Players control a small girl called Sumire, sent to fix the woes of a Japanese village by a mountain spirit. However, she has but one day to do it, before she is gone.

In a similar vein to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, players seem to be under a time-limit to complete their tasks. Even refusing to help someone may mean you lose the chance for good.

Details are scant at this time, so we do not know if the player can rewind time, must truly start from scratch if they fail, or there are roguelike elements (successes affecting future “runs”).

You can find the announcement trailer below.

You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below.

One Day, One Life

Sumire is an indie narrative adventure, featuring a one-day journey through a mystical Japanese village. In this enchanted place, the girl Sumire seeks to finish a list of important tasks given to her by a mischievous mountain spirit, before night falls and her time in the town ends forever.

A Narrative Quest-Driven Adventure

• Explore through a variety of lush, beautiful environments rendered in a painterly style.
• Discover collectibles, bonus items, tests of skill, and other challenges — some hidden, some not.
• A series of quests both big and small, given by charming forest creatures, quirky townspeople, and Sumire’s own heartfelt needs.
  Take or refuse them, but be wary: as the day progresses, you may never get the same chance again.
• A one day time limit. With the sky changing from the promise of morning to the soft twilight, all choices are finished when the sky turns to violet.

Currently in development, check back soon for more information!

Sumire is coming soon to Windows PC (via Steam), and Nintendo Switch.
