"FairlyLife" is Hook's seventh title, along with other games such as "_Summer" and "HoneyComing". The game is described by the development team as Nihongo|"infinite gravity! A full power noisy miracle romantic comedy ADV"|重力無限大！全力どたばたミラクルラブコメADV|jūryoku mugendai! Zenryoku dotabata mirakuru rabucome ADV.citeweb|url=http://www.hook-net.jp/fairlylife/spec.htm|title=Specifications section at "FairlyLife"'s official website| publisher=Hook|accessdate=2008-08-11|language=Japanese] The gameplay in "FairlyLife" follows a plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the five female main characters. The title and logo of "FairlyLife" is reminiscent of Hook's fourth title "Like Life", and both games feature moe anthropomorphism.

Gameplay

"FairlyLife"'s gameplay requires little interaction from the player as most of the duration of the game is spent simply reading the text that appears on the screen which represents either dialogue between the various characters or the inner thoughts of the protagonist. Every so often, the player will come to a point where he or she is given the chance to choose from multiple options. The time between these points is variable and can occur anywhere from a minute to much longer. Gameplay pauses at these points and depending on which choice the player makes, the plot will progress in a specific direction. There are five main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. To view all five plot lines, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different decisions to progress the plot in an alternate direction. One of the goals of the gameplay is for the player to enable the viewing of hentai scenes depicting the protagonist, Tomo, and one of the five heroines having sexual intercourse.

Development

"FairlyLife" is Hook's seventh title. The game was directed by Mujin Kawanami, and produced by Akira Asami. The general manager was Kei, and the event planner was Uto Yakamoto. The game was programed by Ichirōji, and was edited by Noah Kuroki. The scenario staff for "FairlyLife" consists of Kawanami as the main writer, and Mohrii as the only other writer. Art direction was headed by Shitano, while graphics was headed by Rohei Yamane and other graphics were done by Mitsuki and Mahiro. Character design was shared by the two artists Makako Matsushita and Racco. The music in the game was composed by Takao Matsuura, while sound in general was headed by VⅡ.
