After about three and a half years of development, the Marchen fantasy nurturing simulation game ‘Lara Bai Days’ was officially released on January 28th after Steam Early Access.
‘La La Ray Days’ draws attention in that most elements necessary for the game, from planning to art, programming, background music, and vocals, were developed by one person.
The game is a nurturing simulation game that raises a daughter who grows from an egg to a duck to a human form.

Due to the curse of the princess who had been abandoned by the people, the Demon Lord Rotbart was summoned to the Oberbach Kingdom, and the time of the kingdom stopped by the Demon King. The people fell into despair, but they longed for peace for a long time.
Beyond the magical lake that finally grants wishes, the peaceful kingdom before the demon king was summoned was recreated. And there the magical lake laid an egg. Only people from another world can properly hatch eggs that may be the key to saving the kingdom…
A daughter born from an egg, through a duck, and grows into a human
The first thing gamers encounter is a large ‘egg’. If you take good care of it, a baby duck will be born, and the duck will gradually grow into a human-like daughter. Activities during the duck years help to change the attributes of the daughter or to discover aptitudes. When the daughter becomes a human, she spends her 13, 15, and 17-year-old days with gamers, and then she meets the ending.
Fluid growth system with mana absorption method
Most of the fostering simulation games, including the ‘Princess Maker’ series, have the inconvenience of having to play multiple times to check the various endings. However, ‘La La Ray Days’ adopted a system in which a daughter grows when a certain amount of mana is filled, rather than filling the period to escape this monotony.
Therefore, if you want to see the ending quickly, you can replenish your mana at any time you want without completing the entire set period. Gamers can quickly see endings that require low stats, and advanced endings that require more effort are played in a way that requires time and effort.
Also, there is a system in which Swan Topaz is strengthened the more you watch the ending, and the more you play, the easier it is to raise your daughter.
Learn, work, read, rest… Education, exploration system
According to the schedule created by the gamer, the daughter receives education, works, reads, and acquires various abilities. Depending on her age and abilities, the activities she can do increase, and in this daily life, she builds acquaintances with people and shares her dreams.
Exploring around the lake is a side-scrolling RPG that is easy to operate. As long as she supports her daughter’s physical strength, she can continue exploring for several days, so she has a lot of freedom, and there are many large and small events. During the expedition, you can get items by fighting monsters or gain combat experience.
Various festivals and contest systems
On certain days, various contests are held where you can win prizes or build your reputation. There are martial arts competitions held as tournament battles, sword dance competitions that determine victory or defeat with mini-games, and choral competitions.
Bonds with daughters created through conversation
The daughter is basically a follower of gamers, but if left unattended for a long time, her trust will decrease, so she should have frequent conversations. She talks about a variety of topics, including aptitudes, part-time jobs, and people who care about them. Gamers should always look at her condition, which is greatly affected by her words, through conversation.
A main story that transcends time and space, 70 endings and about 90 characters appear
Larrabai Days has 70 different endings depending on the daughter’s abilities, attributes, events, etc., and when the game is over, you can start over from the beginning. However, each round of the game is not independent and there is a main storyline that connects to each other. Finally, if you meet the conditions to defeat the Demon King and save the kingdom, you can reach the ending.
Also, about 90 characters appear in ‘La La Ray Days’. If you build a relationship with a specific character among them and satisfy the conditions, you can also check the ending with various contents, such as fulfilling a dream together or becoming a lover.
