GameTomo has announced that Japanese indie Sumire will be landing on iOS devices in early 2022. The charming narrative adventure takes players on a journey throughout a single day, as the titular heroine tries to complete tasks in order to "live a perfect day".

In Sumire, you'll step into the shoes of a little girl who encounters a mysterious flower spirit in a Japanese mountain village. Sumire is promised one wish in exchange for a series of tasks that she must complete before the day ends. Along the way, you'll build relationships with people and animals around you, going on quests for creatures and townspeople all based on your choices.

The game lets you make important decisions on whether or not you want to accept these quests, but each choice will have lasting consequences that alter your path as you go on. Reality, dreams, and memories collide, and you'll have to live with your decisions once the sky turns purple. You'll also acquire collectible items, score bonus materials, and stumble upon challenges you need to overcome, all set in lush, vibrant environments with a gorgeous art style.
