Summer Pockets was originally released for PC in June 2018 in Japan. Visual Arts/Key and Prototype released a Nintendo Switch version of the game digitally and physically in Japan in June 2019. Summer Pockets REFLECTION BLUE, an updated version of the game, was released for PC in Japan in June 2020. The new version has been released on mobile devices, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
The English version of the game launched for PC via Steam in February 2020.
The game takes place in a rural district of a certain isolated island. The story focuses on “a nostalgic summer”.
Jun Maeda (Kanon, AIR, Clannad, Angel Beats!) is credited with the original concept. Na-Ga (Angel Beats!, Little Busters!, Charlotte), Tsubasu Izumi (Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka, Mashiroiro Symphony-The color of love), Yūnon Nagayama (Angel Beats!), and Fumuyun are credited with providing the original illustrations and character designs.
Yū Niijima (Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo, Majo Koi Nikki), Kai (Clannad, Rewrite, Harmonia) and Hasama (Tokyo Babel, Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi.) wrote the script. Maeda composed the music with Shinji Orito (Angel Beats! Harmonia), Donmaru (planetary house, Little Busters!, Giniro, Haruka) and Tomohiro Takeshita (planetary house, Angel Beats!, Harmonia).
