"Captivating"
A 1970s Japanese summer resurrected in watercolours of infinite gentleness: verdant countryside, azure skies and nostalgic light bathe the game. The care of the painted settings composes a tender, timeless melancholy. This art direction, poetic and soothing, stands as a living postcard.

Is Boku no Natsuyasumi 3 - Kitaguni-hen - Chiisana Boku no Daisougen still worth playing in 2026?
The third entry in Millennium Kitchen's contemplative series, Boku no Natsuyasumi 3 relives a childhood August in 1970s rural Japan, where you play a boy catching insects, fishing, exploring the countryside and forging bonds over days without any real goal. The gentleness of the mood, the sense of the everyday and the summer nostalgia make it a soothing, singular experience. The absence of objectives and the Japan exclusivity weigh on it. A precious work for fans of contemplative games and slice of life.
