How to Play Houkago Shounen
Quick start
Start a new story and follow the first school day. After classes, talk to a nearby friend, try one activity and watch the remaining afternoon time.
Controls
Use the directional pad to move and the displayed confirm or talk command to interact. Read each minigame’s instructions before playing, since its timing and inputs differ from walking around town.
Houkago Shounen — About this game
Spend the last weeks before moving away in a rural Japanese town of the mid-1970s. After school, choose friends to visit and games to play before dusk: car-shaped eraser battles and menko are part of the neighbourhood’s everyday life. How you share this limited time changes the farewell. Begin by learning the nearby streets and talking to classmates instead of rushing straight through each afternoon.
