In late April 2015, Famitsu announced a new Girlfriend Beta product created by Bandai Namco for the Playstation Vita, titled "Girl Friend BETA: Kimi to Sogosu Natsu Yasumi" (ガールフレンド(仮)きみと過ごす夏休み), which translates to Girlfriend BETA: Summer Vacation Spent with You. The love adventure game is expected to be released on August 20th, 2015.

Story and Mechanics

The game features an original story which takes place at Seiou Academy, the high school that all the girls attend. The protagonist will be able to visit various locations in order to participate in club activities, talk with some of the girls, and lots more. Throughout this summer vacation, you'll be able to meet the eight girls in the game and deepen your relationship with them, all while enjoying various original events such as the standard summer festival!

Get ready for beach scenes, yukata scenes, and more.

The part below is speculation, not necessarily confirmed or accurate.

The game seems to function as a regular visual novel, where the player mostly reads through many lines of dialogue paired with character sprites or CG images, but gets to make some decisions about how the story will end. In this case, the game allows you to play through every day of summer vacation, and gives you multiple areas to visit every day. However, you're only able to visit a few locations, so make sure to visit the girls you like most!

Girls

Currently, there are eight girls confirmed to be in the game. This appears to be the total cast.
