Boku no Natsuyasumi is a life simulation game for PlayStation in which players take on the role of a young boy named Boku. Set in rural Japan during August 1975, the game immerses players in the joys of summer vacation. Players explore the countryside, participating in activities such as insect collecting, kite flying, and gathering bottle caps, all while enjoying the peaceful pace of rural life.
The game revolves around Boku, a 9 year old boy sent to his aunt and uncle in Japan's wooded countryside and the daily adventures he encounters there. Boku is there because his Mother is in her final month of pregnancy. The player controls him for the 31 days of August 1975 (In Japan, a Summer Vacation, called natsuyasumi last for one month). You explore the game's area and can catch bugs and pit them against each other, collect bottle caps, fly a kite, or just relax.
