The game was announced on July 12, 2026, with a release date of August 12 local time, or August 13 in Japan, on PC via Steam. It is a small-scale open-world action-adventure set in an early 2000s American town, where the player controls Sam, a transfer student with three months until graduation. Sam can attend classes, skip them, fight, and explore the town and countryside by bicycle. The game includes 32 main missions, 15 side missions, five class subjects, and two endings, with an estimated 8 to 10 hours of playtime.
Before release, the game drew attention for its resemblance to Rockstar Games' Bully, and the developer described it as a mix of GTA, Bully, and American Pie. On launch day, it reached a peak of 2,400 concurrent players on Steam, but user reviews are mixed at 30% positive. Complaints focus on frequent crashes, performance issues, and bugs such as characters getting stuck or clipping through walls. The game is priced at 3,400 yen, with a 10% discount to 3,060 yen until August 20. Console versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are planned for later in the year.
