Shirachuu Tankenbu is about a group of friends that get a postcard with "STB" inscribed on it, that leads them to return to the village where they spent their holidays together. This will prompt the main hero, Takahiro, to recall major events from years ago, while trying to identify the person behind the mystery.

Adventure game from Taito, in which the happenings of two summers -- one past, one present -- intersect. Set in a ficticious small-town, the mature plot deals with friendship and memories. The main character returns to his home town after a long absence and meets up with his old friends. The actual game takes place in flashbacks and -- how else could it be -- also involves romantic pursuit of girls. The gameplay is limited to text-based interaction with the anime-style characters, presented in "interactive video" form.

Japanese songstress Maaya Sakamoto belts out the theme song "Kimidori" for Taito's latest interaction-adventure game. When the lead character in Shirachuu Tankenbu reaches university and sets off on the next major part of his life, he reverses course when he receives a postcard from home and feels a bit of nostalgia. Yearning for old memories amd friends, he returns to his hometown. Seeking out old school chums from his past, protag hopes to relive those golden years and recover spotty childhood memories (in cinematic episodes which may be collected and reviewed) before moving on with his life and transitioning to adulthood.

Played in flick-action sequences, Shirachuu Tankenbu offers up beautiful artwork and a quaint storyline to delve into.
