A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Available in English, 简体中文, and Українська.
In the dim and distant past, Tanabe Eiji was a promising young writer, well-known for his poem Fireworks, which detailed the beginnings of his youthful and idealistic romance with his wife, Sachiko.
Twenty years later, however, Eiji's life has lost much of its shine. His poems, save for Fireworks, have fallen into obscurity, while his first (and last) novel was critically panned for being too depressing. Worse still, his relationship with his wife has started to stagnate.
In a desperate attempt to rekindle his lost creativity, Eiji embarks on a journey to the snowy mountains of Hakuba.
During his six day stay at the Azami Inn, an old and lonely building in the middle of nowhere, Eiji meets the inn's proprietress, the stern and indomitable Miss Kakiuchi, and her unwordly daughter, Reiko.
Eiji isn't sure why, exactly, but something about Reiko catches his attention. Though he tries to resist, he finds himself drawn to her charms all the same.
Could Reiko be his muse, who will inspire him to pen another masterpiece? Or will his obsession with her ruin the both of them?

Superb writing, charming artwork, beautiful music. I liked a lot how the text and the visuals had brought to life the secluded inn lost among the winter mountains, as well as the inn's inhabitants. Eiji, the narrator, describes everything in such a great detail that everything feels so real.
hi Ebi-Hime
very well made melancholy romance , i do understand well most of the feelings.
characters art and background art are amazing and the music too, they all fit together
i love your writing
Thank you for your kind comment, like always! I'm glad you enjoyed it! >_<
yesterday i bought the soundtrack, since i played this visual novel i wanted to have it so i could listen when i want but did not pay attention to the music link, it was a nice surprise to see it being downloadable and i always felt it was right to pay something for this visual novel :)
you are also a music composer or i am mistaken ?
i made these both within rpg maker to try making a character close to Reiko
Thank you very much for your kind comment! I'm glad you liked the soundtrack so much!
And no, I'm not a composer. The music for Six Days of Snow was composed by yuzuki!
That is a very cute rendition of Reiko too; thank you!
i am glad you find this version of Reiko cute :)
