FairlyLife (フェアリーライフ, FearīRaifu?) is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Hook and will be first released for the PC as a DVD on October 10, 2008 as a limited edition. FairlyLife is Hook’s seventh title, along with other games such as _Summer and HoneyComing. The game is described by the development team as “infinite gravity! A full power noisy miracle romantic comedy ADV” (重力無限大！全力どたばたミラクルラブコメADV, jūryoku mugendai! Zenryoku dotabata mirakuru rabucome ADV?). The gameplay in FairlyLife follows a plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the five female main characters. The title and logo of FairlyLife is reminiscent of Hook’s fourth title Like Life, and both games feature moe anthropomorphism.

Gameplay

FairlyLife’s gameplay requires little interaction from the player as most of the duration of the game is spent simply reading the text that appears on the screen which represents either dialogue between the various characters or the inner thoughts of the protagonist. Every so often, the player will come to a point where he or she is given the chance to choose from multiple options. The time between these points is variable and can occur anywhere from a minute to much longer. Gameplay pauses at these points and depending on which choice the player makes, the plot will progress in a specific direction. There are five main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. To view all five plot lines, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different decisions to progress the plot in an alternate direction. One of the goals of the gameplay is for the player to enable the viewing of hentai scenes depicting the protagonist, Tomo, and one of the five heroines having sexual intercourse.

Development

FairlyLife is Hook’s seventh title. The game was directed by Mujin Kawanami, and produced by Akira Asami. The general manager was Kei, and the event planner was Uto Yakamoto.

Release history

FairlyLife will first be released on October 10, 2008 as a limited edition DVD playable only on a Microsoft Windows PC, and will come bundled with a music CD containing an insert song featured in the visual novel and a set of piano arrange tracks of the heroines’ leitmotifs.

Audio CDs

Hook released a combination drama and music CD on May 30, 2008 entitled FairlyLife The First Review “What are you doing?” which contains twelve tracks, ten drama and two music. The music tracks are the full version of FairlyLife’s opening theme song “FairlyLife”, and the instrumental version of that song. Five of the drama tracks contain short radio dramas, and the remaining four tracks cover two different stories split in two parts each. Hook will release another combination drama and music CD at Comiket 74 on August 17, 2008 entitled Midsummer’s Large Neverland Free-for-all Fight! I Don’t Want to Be An Adult (真夏のネバーランド大混戦！～大人になんてなりたくない～, Manatsu no Nebārando Daikonsen! Otona ni Nante Naritakunai?). In addition to a new drama and the full version of FairlyLife’s opening theme song, the CD will also contain the full opening themes from the visual novels BackStage and Hare Hare wa Harem being produced by Hook’s sister brands TJR and Smee, respectively.
