This game reminds me so much of my own visits to my grandma’s house during those long school holidays. Fishing, collecting rubber seeds, kite flying… There’s just so much to do and everything was just fun. Boku no Natsu Yasumi 3 is one of those games that will bring out the child in you, there are no other game like this and how I wish it comes in a language that I understand. Japanese gaming website ITmedia had a brief overview of the warm and cute game so let’s be a child for a moment and visit the game’s little imaginary town in Hokkaido. Screens via ITmedia and Game Watch.

The game received a 8/8/7/6 score from Famitsu’s Cross Review panel.

Our city boy, whose mother is giving birth, looks a little sad initially after finding out that he has to stay at his uncle’s house for a month.

Meet uncle’s daughter, who is the same of age of our boy, for the first time.

A look around uncle’s farm.

Yeap, there are home works to be done.

You and your boy first task will be taking care of the cows.

After learning that snakes are after the swallows, our little boy decided to make sure it won’t happens this time.

While there are tasks given to you by your uncle, you can still choose to play all day if you want. Fishing, stone throwing, swimming, there are so many things to do in a day, but remember to feed cows and keep the snakes away from those swallows!

Bug collecting has been the mainstay of the game and it is still the same here, can you find out all the bugs in the game?

Bug fighting with your friends can be fun.

There is swimming competition with your new friends as well. You can actually adjust how time past in the game, slower pace allows more time for more activities during the day.

Closing the day by talking to uncle after having dinner.
