First starting out as a demo of what they could with the PlayStation VR, Summer Lesson gained enough interest to be released as an actual game this October in Japan. In the game, you spend time at a beach side cabin teaching and learning Japanese and English with a foreign beauty and a high school bishoujo. Its basically a virtual girlfriend simulator, or so the fans say.
For the rest of the world, Summer Lesson and the rest of the seasons including Spring Lesson, Autumn Lesson, and Winter Lesson will most likely not be localized outside of Japan. As Harada stated in his interview with Siliconera, due to VR games trying to mimic reality, the animation, especially with lip-syncing, needs to be readjusted for every language to show that immersion.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t all that he said about Summer Lesson.
All hope is not lost, as Harada also stated that if a particular region has enough enthusiastic fans to localize Summer Lesson, it can be possible. The game itself wasn’t a game to begin with, but enough people desired an official release that Summer Lesson is now available for the PlayStation 4.
Summer Lesson will be released in Japan October 13, 2016.
