Boku no Natsuyasumi 3

It's the summer of 1975 and Mama's about to have another baby. She already has a 10-year old named Boku who's becoming a handful and is beginning to fray her nerves. Mama decides to send Boku to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle in the countryside of Hokkaido so she can relax and prepare herself for the birthing process.

One day, a train takes Boku from the city to the country. Aboard the train, he peers out the window at the greenery while poppy keeps a watchful eye over him. At one point, he leans out the window (clearly illegal and dangerous) and symbolically looks forward to the summer of fun that awaits him. Upon disembarking, he's greeted by his uncle at the train platform and the two travel by car to the ranch he'll be staying for a few weeks. Boku can engage in various activities such as catching insects, flying kites, swimming, enjoying the summer festival, skipping stones across a river, and even pitting beetles against each other. Sony boasts over 100 diversions that may be played in the game. «
