Review of "Ore no Arikyu Koi Monogatari," a new type of adventure that combines romance and slow life. A lovey-dovey cohabitation life with three beautiful sisters in a country town!

How are you doing, Akiba Research Institute readers? This is Nero Hyakkabe, a writer who buys too many games. I hope you all are not suffering from the May illness.　Working after the vacations can be more tiring than usual, but sometimes it is necessary to take a paid vacation to relax and rest.

That is why we would like to introduce you to "Ore no Ariake Koi Monogatari (My Paid Holiday Love Story)," in which the keyword is "Ariake" in the story.

This game is available on Steam and Nintendo Switch, but this review is based on the Steam version.

The main character is a young man working for a black company!　He returns to his hometown after a long absence and begins a love affair with his three childhood sisters!


This title, "Ore no Ariake Koi Monogatari" is an adventure game in which you take on the role of the male protagonist and enjoy a slow-paced life while nurturing romance with the heroines. The game was developed by qureate, the developer of "NinNinDays" and "Torabudeizu" among others. The company is a game maker well known in Akiba Research Institute's "Slightly Echi Game Special," and the cute characters of the beautiful girls who appear in the game are of proven quality.

Let's start with the storyline of the game.

The main character is Akito Kiyama, a young man who works for a black company. In a black work environment where service overtime is the norm, his coworkers are having mental breakdowns one after another, and before he knows it, they are all quitting. Feeling that he would end up following in the footsteps of his colleagues, he resigned from the company. He decides to return to his hometown for the first time in more than 10 years to heal his body and soul with the two-week paid vacation he had grabbed at the last moment.

However, when he arrives in his hometown, he finds that the inn he had planned to stay at is unfortunately undergoing a sudden renovation and cannot accommodate him. Akito is at a loss, but then three beautiful girls appear in front of him. To his surprise, they are the same three sisters he used to play with as a child. Thus begins a sweet and sour love story with the three sisters whom he meets for the first time in more than 10 years. ......

The story is a classic romantic comedy in which the heroines are reunited with their childhood friends in their hometown after returning home for the first time in many years, but the fact that the heroines are three sisters is a major feature of this work. The nostalgic and laid-back atmosphere that pervades the entire game is also appealing.

The game also features a multi-ending system, where the ending of the story changes depending on which of the three sisters you become friends with and what you do. This is also one of the most appealing aspects of the game.

The heroines are the three sisters, who are cute and full of individuality!　A thorough explanation of each character!


It is no exaggeration to say that the heroines are the main dish of a romance adventure game. In this title, "Ore no Arikyu Koi Monogatari," there are three unique and attractive heroines. Let us now introduce each of the three sisters, each with a different personality, in detail.

1, "Amakusa Amaine," a sports-minded tsundere girl who is somehow averse to the main character.


Amakusa is the second daughter of the three Amakusa sisters, and is the same age as the main character, Akito. She used to play with Akito when they were children and were good friends, but when she meets him again after a long time, for some reason, she has a dislike for him. She has a so-called "tsundere" atmosphere.



She is a healthy sports girl who still goes out for road work in the mountains to exercise her body. However, she is not very good at fishing, and although she often goes fishing in a nearby lake, she doesn't seem to catch anything at all.

One of the highlights of the story with Amane is how her secret feelings for the protagonist will be revealed, as she used to be a good friend but now has a dislike for him.



2，Amakusa Hibiki, a downer sister who loves the main character like an older brother.


Hibiki Amakusa is the youngest of the three Amakusa sisters and a college student at a rural university. In her childhood, Hibiki looked up to the protagonist like an older brother, but now she is a slacker and lethargic, a so-called "dried-up girl," living a "downer" life that darkens the mood of those around her. However, she also has a cash-conscious side, and only takes action when she is interested in something. Incidentally, she also has a side as a video distributor, but the number of viewers seems to be sluggish.

Hibiki has a longing for Tokyo and dreams of moving to Tokyo someday, but she is unable to tell her eldest daughter Kanan. The highlight of the story is how the relationship with Hibiki deepens, as she treats the protagonist as if she were her real sister. There is also an event where she and Hibiki play a retro game against each other, which is also worth checking out.

3、Kanami Amakusa Kanami, the quiet older sister who loves the main character like a younger brother


Kanami Amakusa is the eldest of the three Amakusa sisters and the owner of the coffee shop "Daitokai," which used to be run by their parents. Kanami used to take care of Akito as if he were her own younger brother when they were children, and even now that they have been reunited, she still sometimes treats him a little like a child. She is a firm person, but has a natural side that is a little out of the ordinary.



Kanan has spent the last few years acting as a mother figure to her younger sisters, Amine and Hibiki, which has caused her to do housework in her spare time, and she worries that she has no hobbies that she can call hobbies. She is the most mature of the three sisters, and it will be interesting to see how she changes as she spends time with the main character.



The charm is not only in the romantic elements!　You can also enjoy a leisurely and slow life, working in the fields, fishing, and playing retro games!


The main objective of this title is to develop a romantic relationship with the heroine, the three sisters, during the 14 days given as paid vacation. The game features a 2D side-scrolling map in which the player controls the main character and can freely explore the countryside. Time passes as they move and act, and the day ends at night.



During your paid vacation, the three sisters and other residents may ask you to perform various "onegai" (onegai). When you accomplish these "onegai," you will gain the favorability of the three sisters, see special events, and earn money as a reward, so it is a good idea to be proactive in accomplishing them. There are quite a few onegai, but the game is designed in a friendly and easy-to-play manner, with a pop-up display notifying you when any of them are ready to be accomplished.



Various items can be found on the map, and sometimes collecting items will allow you to accomplish the onegai of the residents.

The game also includes slow-life elements such as cultivating a field to grow vegetables and fishing. Fish caught and vegetables harvested are necessary for onegai achievements, and can be presented to the three sisters to increase their liking for each other, so as well as collecting items, this is also something to be actively pursued.



In addition, at the candy shops in town, players can enjoy a variety of mini-games based on old-fashioned games, such as retro games, menko (stick figures), and super ball scooping. The rules of these games are simple and clear, but they all have an appeal that makes you lose track of time.

I felt that this experience of enjoying a leisurely, slow life in a hometown that you have long returned to and being immersed in nostalgic games made this game a one-of-a-kind game that goes beyond the framework of a mere love adventure game.



This is what's great about it! My personal recommendation for "Ore no Arikyu Koi Monogatari" (My Vacation Love Story)


From here, I would like to introduce some points that I have selected based on my own judgment and prejudice.

1、You can even touch the body*!　Lukewarm and "slightly erotic" beautiful CG!


One of the best parts of romance adventure games is the beautiful event CG of beautiful girls. Of course, "Ore no Arikyu Koi Monogatari" also has high-quality event CG that allows you to enjoy the charms of beautiful girls. As "Create" has been involved in many "slightly erotic" games, the event CG in this title also includes many unintentionally thrilling ones, so your eyes may be glued to the screen! The event CGs in this work are very impressive and will make your eyes glued to the screen.



The event CG of this work is characterized by its slimy animation. This makes such and such parts of the three sisters tremble and shake, which is an extraordinary thing. ...... What's more, it's also very funny! The player can even move the cursor to touch the heroine's body!

If you are interested in this game, please play it and experience the thrill.
The touch function is only available in the Steam version.



2，Collection of beautiful girl illustrations in the heated menko mini-game!


As mentioned above, there are many mini-games in this title. Just the fact that you can play old-fashioned games in a candy store may be enough to make some people feel the sting of the game, but the one that I particularly like is Menko. This is a one-on-one mini-game in which players attack each other by timing their attacks with the moving cursor, and the first player to run out of HP loses. It is a simple game, but it is quite fun to play, and you can't help but get absorbed in the game.



What makes the menko even more interesting and deep is the "Menko Kuji Lottery" element. This is a so-called gacha, in which you can win a random menco by spending money you get in the game. It is inevitable that you will want to get a strong menco in the raffle.

Incidentally, the pictures on the menco are all beautiful girls who have appeared in qureate works, such as Sumire, the heroine of "NinNinDays," Lobelia, the heroine of "Torabudeizu," and many more. The menko you get can be viewed in the "Menko Binder," so you can enjoy it as a collection element like a trading card.



Ore no Ariake Koi Monogatari" is a new kind of love adventure that you should play if you are tired of your daily life!


So, that's my introduction of "Ore no Ariake Koi Monogatari".

The "Ore no Ariake Koi Monogatari" combines the romance adventure element, where you can enjoy falling in love with three beautiful sisters with rich personalities, and the slow life element, where you can freely enjoy exploring the town and playing various mini-games at your leisure. This is a game that I highly recommend not only to fans of romance games and bishojo games, but also to anyone who is feeling a little tired from their busy lives.
