Boku no Camp-jou is one of those weird little Game Boy Color gems that never left Japan—which is a shame, because it’s oddly charming. You play as a kid trying to survive summer camp, but it’s not just roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories. There’s fishing, bug catching, and even some light survival mechanics where you’ve gotta manage your energy and supplies.

The pixel art has that classic GBC look, all bright greens and blues, and the music’s got this nostalgic, lo-fi vibe. At first, I thought it’d just be a simple camping sim, but there’s actually a surprising amount of stuff to do—like sneaking around at night to avoid the counselors or trading bugs with other campers. It’s got that weird, slightly janky feel of early 2000s Japanese games, but in a way that makes it more fun.

If you’re into obscure retro games with a slice-of-life twist, this one’s worth a look. Just don’t expect an English patch—you’ll be guessing your way through menus, but honestly, that’s half the fun.
