Let's dive into "Sickly Days and Summer Traces." So, you've got this setup where you're taking your sick sister out to the countryside, which is a pretty unique premise. Now, obviously, there are two versions of this game: censored and uncensored, and let's be real, most people checking this out are probably in it for the H-game aspects. But here's the surprise: underneath all the p0rn, there's actually a pretty decent story trying to unfold, and the whole "sims" element of the gameplay loop is genuinely half-fun, which keeps you hooked.

I gotta say, the character backgrounds really drew me in. The mom's story, in particular, completely caught me off guard and was genuinely pretty sad – like, hit you right in the feels. I also loved the whole setting, just you two relying on each other to get by in the countryside. The gameplay loop of building things up isn't just about making yourselves stronger, it's also about improving your sister's health and happiness, which is a neat balance. It takes a little bit to get the hang of it, but it works, because you can't push her too hard, or she ends up back in the hospital and it's game over. That adds a nice layer of tension.

Now, about those H-scenes: yeah, they're definitely there. If you play the uncensored version, they are very, very vivid, no two ways about it. For what they are, they're good, but honestly, by the end of it, I found myself more invested in the actual story and the character backstories, which is wild for an H-game. It's not what you expect, right?

Of course, it's not all perfect. There are some goofy bits, like the doctor looking like she's ten years old, which is just plain stupid. And the humor can be a bit uneven; sometimes it's genuinely funny, but other times it's just super cheesy, straight-out-of-an-anime kind of humor that doesn't quite land.

Overall though, it's a genuine surprise how touching (no pun intended, really!) this game can be at times, especially when paired with a somewhat decent and fun gameplay loop. On the flipside, let's be honest, 90% of you are probably just getting this to JO/Flicky Flick, so you're probably ignoring me anyway, lol. Still, I'd give it a solid 7/10.

The setting of this work can be described as a perfect start, completely disregarding ethical issues and focusing solely on mutual dependence. The brother and sister share family happiness in their ideal land. It can be said to be a great leisure treat for girls.
The younger sister is a very special symbol in Galgames and an indispensable part of the traditional King's character design. However, compared with personality labels such as "big sister" and "proud and spoiled", social identity labels are more likely to be superimposed with other elements. Meanwhile, unlike more fixed social identity labels such as "big sister next door" and "teacher", the stereotypical relationship between "younger sister" and "green plum" and personality is relatively less. Among the works I have played so far, in fact, the character of the younger sister is the one that attracts me the most. According to my personal understanding, the two most important factors for a younger sister are the violation of ethics and the determination to protect. The former is gradually dissolved in cases where there is no blood relationship such as a foster sister, while the latter is weakened in cases where the elder sister is older. Judging from the presentation in the work, ethics is often regarded as a challenge that the protagonist needs to overcome, and it can be divided into two parts: one is the overcoming of ethical concepts, and the other is the struggle against the ethical environment. In most works, such as "Angel" and "Near Moon", the overcoming of concepts is at the core of the conflict, while resistance, as an accessory part, is mainly manifested in the protagonist's attitude towards future life. In a small number of works, the most typical of which is the ヨスガノソラ series, the two blend together and directly collide the subject 's state of mind with the external view, which requires finding a way to open up while overcoming. The natural ethical barriers have become a boost to the depiction of the story, perhaps the most superficial attraction that the younger sister inherently possesses. But I think what is more important lies in the determination to protect when facing the younger sister. The charm of the younger sister lies in the fact that she is unique in this world, requiring no reason and having no substitute. This attribute was born before her personal attributes emerged. For modern relationships and the multi-line tradition, there is no need to consider the reason of "you are the only one". Having an unbreakable root can be said to be truly happy and fortunate.
