Key released a demo version of the visual novel in April 2018 before releasing the complete game in June of that year. The game was ported to iOS and Android platforms in December 2018 and to Nintendo Switch in June 2019. Visual Arts published the game in English on Steam last February.

An updated version titled Summer Pockets: Reflection Blue featuring new routes and content was released in June 2020. Software company Prototype published the game on Nintendo Switch in July of the same month. The smartphone version on iOS and Android devices were subsequently updated to include the new content.

Based on the original concept by Jun Maeda (Angel Beats!, Clannad), Kai (Harmonia, Rewrite: Cradles Tale) directed the visual novel. Kai, Hasama (Tokyo Babel), and Yuu Niijima (Hatsuyuki Sakura) penned the scenarios.

Na-Ga (Little Busters!), Tsubasu Izumi (Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka), Yuunon Nagayama (Hatsukoi*Syndrome), and Humuyun (Lunaria: Virtualized Moonchild) are credited for the original character design.
