The game's bizarre premise and its survival of a store-page removal make its confirmed release a notable outcome for a niche live-action title.

Kodansha announced that Hamukoi - My Sweet Days as a Hamster Reincarnated with Three Sisters, a live-action love simulation game played from a hamster's perspective, will launch on July 17 for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The Steam page was temporarily removed after its August 2025 announcement but was restored in April, and a demo followed in May.
Kodansha Game Lab and the photo weekly magazine FRIDAY collaborated on the project. The lead writer is Ken Shimomura, known for Chain Chronicle. The three sisters are played by gravure idol Sayaka Tomaru as eldest sister Himari, actress and idol Momoka Takatsuru as second sister Futaba, and Shiori Ikemoto of the idol group Teratera as youngest sister Mitsui. The story follows Kouta Kurono, who after a traffic accident is reincarnated as a hamster kept by the Shiratori family. Players experience being pampered by the sisters through live-action footage and choices, and can unlock 4K reward videos by satisfying them.
