-NekoPoi--Natsu-ga-Owaru-made---Natsu-no-Owari-...
Think of it as a whimsical chant that a cat (ねこ neko) might purr while watching the last golden rays of summer slip away.

| Route | Primary Cat | Required Pet‑Points | Key Decision | |-------|-------------|---------------------|--------------| | Mizuki’s Memory | Mizuki | 80+ | Choose to stay in the library on Day 3 instead of the festival. | | Haruto’s Dream | Haru | 85+ | Volunteer to coach the relay team instead of just cheering. | | Rin’s Artistry | Rin | 90+ | Donate your own sketchbook to the art club on Day 2. | | Kuro’s Time‑Loop | Kuro | 75+ | Repair his console on Day 5 (requires a hidden “spare‑parts” item). | | Sora’s Star‑Gate | Sora | 100 (max) | Give her the meteor pendant before the night‑sky quest. |
Each side‑route ends with a “what‑if” epilogue (e.g., “If the summer never ended, what would Haru have become?”). They are purely narrative—no gameplay advantage beyond the extra story.
| # | Name | Personality | Key Plot Hook | Best “Pet‑Points” Boosters | |---|------|-------------|---------------|----------------------------| | 1 | Mizuki (黒猫・ミズキ) | Calm, book‑loving, slightly aloof. | She’s the “mysterious transfer student” who knows the true cause of the endless summer. | Reading a book together, giving her fish‑shaped treats, solving the “library puzzle”. | | 2 | Haru (白猫・ハル) | Energetic, sports‑fan, always in a hoodie. | Wants to win the Summer Festival’s “Cat‑Relay” but lacks confidence. | Joining his practice runs, cheering at the relay, giving him a “lucky charm”. | | 3 | Rin (三毛猫・リン) | Artistic, a bit shy, sketches everything. | Her drawings start predicting the future—she’s the key to unlocking the “ending sunrise”. | Complimenting her art, helping her find new sketchbooks, visiting the rooftop at sunset. | | 4 | Kuro (茶トラ・クロ) | Sarcastic, loves video games, secretly a “time‑keeper”. | Holds the fragmented memory of why the summer never ends. | Playing his co‑op mini‑games, fixing his broken console, sharing a “high‑score”. | | 5 | Sora (青い目の猫‑Sora) | Dreamy, loves stargazing, speaks in riddles. | She knows the “star‑gate” that can restore the normal seasons. | Watching the night sky together, solving the star‑puzzle, giving her a “meteor‑shaped pendant”. |
Tip: The affection (“Pet‑Points”) for each cat is hidden. The only reliable way to see your progress is to save before a major decision and reload to test the outcome. The game’s “Diary” (accessible from the main menu) will also show a faint glow next to characters whose affection is above 70 %.
