©NCSX Being lazy at any other time is normally okay but when protagonist Pokkle misses his own ceremony into adulthood, he's branded a slacker for the rest of his existence. That is, unless he can raise enough money to hold another "boy to man" celebration to make up for his transgression. A brief stay at prison also convinces Pokkle that it's time to grow up.

   Seizing on the opportunity to redeem himself, Pokkle runs around Nanashi Island with the help of his loyal girlfriend Kyappie in the aim of earning 5,000,000 mane, which is the local currency. A cast of characters in the game with their own aspirations and routines may help you in your task if you cajole, help and placate them with odd jobs and other menial acts of servitude.

   If Pokkle works too hard and goes without sleep, spirits will visit him and haunt his waking hours until he succumbs to the sandman. Working hard is good however and each task that Pokkle successfully completes will bring him one step closer to adulthood which means less sleep is required. Another enemy that Pokkle contends with in the game is hunger. Without food, Pokkle will starve and lose his vitality which of course, will lead to a premature endgame.
