One month to prepare for The Great Matsuri Festival
The summer is structured around the approach of The Great Matsuri Festival, with colourful island residents who could use a helping hand. Mail to deliver and jobs to complete make for a busy schedule as the event draws nearer.
The available work spans several distinct roles: delivering mail on a BMX, pulling pints at the local bar, serving sushi and becoming a sumo wrestler. Players can take on these activities as the festival approaches.
Turning a busy summer into a home
Money and rewards earned through the summer can be invested in rebuilding Pon’s shrine, with the goal of creating a place worth falling in love with. The journey also involves making friends with local residents and learning to call the island home.
