![]() But even this content is aggressively recycled as well. Now it's time to select a piece of random small talk from a few options: What are your friends up to today? What do you do for fun? How was the lesson? Rinse and repeat six more times, and the game's over.Įvery now and again, there's a bonus scene that replicates the close-and-personal experiences in the demo: You and Hikari listen to music via the same pair of earbuds, for example, or various other excuses to have your face in closer proximity to hers. Should you take notes, open the window, cheer her on? You don't experience doing any of these things, because the screen fades out again, and suddenly we're at the end of the lesson. Fade in: She's working on something at her desk, and you can pick from a variety of options. Pick a vague "lesson plan" (math, logic, history, etc.) from a menu, looking over at a chart of Hikari's progress to see how that lesson will affect her stats. This experience is certainly present in the full version of Summer Lesson, although the game they've wrapped around it is so simplistic, repetitive, and ultimately boring that it's not likely to have much of an impact beyond that brief novelty. I found Summer Lesson to be fascinating when I tried the initial demo at last year's Tokyo Game Show, especially as proof that the smallest hints of intimacy can be extremely powerful in VR when your brain is telling you that a real human being is a few inches away from you. That said, I think the lessons that it teaches about up-close-and-personal contact with a "person" in VR are something that should be taken seriously. What is seen as mundane in Japan may not be elsewhere, which is why I sincerely doubt we'll see this game appear here. ![]() Your student Hikari Miyamoto isn't said to be underage, although the game doesn't say that she's 18, either. But really, it's about spending time in virtual reality hanging out with that ne plus ultra of Japanese erotic archetypes, the girl in the sailor uniform.Īs interested as I am in novel VR experiences, there's a baked-in element of creepiness to this scenario that's hard to write around. Released at the launch of PlayStation VR exclusively on the Japanese PlayStation store (which you can access from any PS4 if you want to), Summer Lesson falls, from a purely mechanical standpoint, into the "simulation" game genre-you're the tutor of a high school girl who's preparing for an exam, so you choose from a menu of lesson options in hopes of boosting her statistics high enough so that she comes home with an A at the end of the week.
