However, this big project is still on hiatus and in March 2020 the writer for kaomika route (anakidd) decided to drop out and release her part standalone, since the script and art were done. The artist (kitkatwolfys) agred and then Sweet Wave was born!SW is focused in the unusual rarepair Kaoru/Mika and shows the development of their relationship during the spring, around graduation.The original 2019 script was reviewed to include the nuances of the recent timeline changes of !!, without diving deep into that, but enough to make sense in the current timeline.The game features 3 routes : 1 bad ending, 1 neutral ending and 1 good ending.
