From Gravure Idols to Hamsters? Surprising New Game Lets You Live Together with Three Sisters [TGS Report]
Sayaka Tomaru, Momoha Takatsuru, and Shiori Ikemoto appeared at the Tokyo Game Show!
A shocking live-action romance simulation game
The appearance of the sexy three sisters dressed in black caused a stir at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS).
At the “Kodansha Game Lab” booth, which featured games based on popular manga like Attack on Titan and The Fable, Sayaka Tomaru (29), Momowa Takatsuru (22), and Shiori Ikemoto (22)—all active in the gravure world—appeared to promote a particular game.
The title is Hamukoi — The Sweet Daily Life with the Three Sisters After I Reincarnated as a Hamster—.
Players become the pet of the three sisters portrayed by the trio, experiencing things impossible as a human: sitting on their thighs, being petted, witnessing them change clothes, and more—a shocking live-action romance simulation game. Even before its release, the game has attracted worldwide attention, being covered by media in the U.S., China, and Russia. Surrounded by numerous fans and media, the three tried out Hamukoi themselves.
“The graphics were so beautiful—I really felt like I had become a hamster!” (Ikemoto)
“You get a dreamlike experience as if you’re living with all three of them. Please try to conquer all of them!” (Takatsuru)
“I was too embarrassed to really watch my own scenes (laughs), but the scenes where I got petted were super heart-throbbing and exciting.” (Tomaru)
The game is scheduled for release this winter. Time to become a hamster!
Hamukoi Steam page is available—don’t forget to add it to your wishlist!
A new game based on The Fable has been released!
At the “Kodansha Game Lab” booth, a total of 28 titles were showcased. Which games were particularly popular?
“The Fable Manga Build Roguelike, a game adaptation of the popular Weekly Young Magazine manga by independent creator mono, and DareKare, the grand prize winner of the indie game contest SENSE OF WONDER NIGHT 2025, were especially popular. Additionally, the sushi-themed racing simulation game Wabisabi SushiDarby attracted many children players.
This was the fourth year of the exhibition, and the free booklet Game Lab Magazine quickly ran out of all 15,000 copies,” said Kodansha Game Lab chief Hiroki Katayama.
Whether transforming into a hamster or racing as sushi the possibilities of gaming continue to expand.
