Item Description

What would you do with the last August on Earth if you could live it again and again? Loop8: Summer of Gods drops you into Ashihara, a sleepy rural town in 1983 Japan, with a deadline at the end of the month. You play Nini, a teenager who has only just come down to Earth, and the world will end unless he and his friends can stop the Kegai, demons that are slowly taking hold of the people of the town.

The loop is the hook. If Nini falls in battle, or a deadline passes, time snaps back to August 1 and you start over with everything you have learned; Nini's special connection to the gods also lets him reset the world deliberately when a summer is going wrong. Days are spent on a calendar, choosing whom to visit and what to say, and the townspeople carry moods and memories that the game tracks closely, so the same conversation can land very differently depending on when and how you approach it. Those bonds matter below ground too: the relationships Nini builds in town shape how the turn-based fights against the Kegai in the Underworld play out, so a summer spent wisely pays off in combat.

It comes from a notable team. Scenario writer and designer Yuri Shibamura is known for the cult PlayStation game Gunparade March, which Loop8 follows in spirit, producer Yoichi Miyaji worked on the Lunar and Grandia series, and Noriyuki Iwadare, another Lunar and Grandia veteran, wrote the soundtrack and theme song. Shibamura set out to capture 1980s Japanese small-town life, and the slow summer days Nini spends with his new friends in Ashihara have a distinct, wistful mood.

This is a slow, strange and personal RPG, closer to a life simulation with demons than a dungeon grind, and critics expecting something built like Persona often came away frustrated. Players who enjoy steering a story through dozens of small choices will find plenty to chew on: there are multiple endings to uncover, and every pass through August reveals a little more about Ashihara and the gods who watch over it.

About the game

In this original coming-of-age RPG, step into the life of Nini, a newly earthbound teen who arrives in the quaint Japanese town of Ashihara in August 1983. Explore the town, befriend its people, and face off against the Kegai in turn-based battles where the outcomes depend on the relationships you’ve built and the decisions you’ve made. Use Nini’s special connection to the gods to reset the world, with each loop allowing Nini and his allies to relive the 8th month over and over until they get it right…or the Kegai overcome them entirely. With one month until the world ends, how will you spend each day?
