Idea Factory has announced its newest PlayStation 2 title, Asobi ni iku yo: Chikyuu Pinchi no Konyaku Senzen. The love adventure is based on a novel written by Akina Kamino. The game's protagonist is Kio Kakazu, a senior high school student living in Okinawa. He is living with the female lead Aeris, an investigator from the planet of Kyatia. In addition to dealing with the game's various human and alien heroines, the player also has to pay attention to the relationship between the Earth and two alien worlds. Should he not manage to keep up the friendly relationships between the three worlds, it's game over. Apart from genre-typical adventure gameplay, Asobi ni iku yo will also offer two kinds of minigames.
