2002 video game

Princess Holiday: Korogaru Ringotei Senya Ichiya (Princess Holiday ～転がるりんご亭千夜一夜～) (English translation: Princess Holiday: Rolling Apple Pavilion's One Thousand and One Nights), usually shortened to Princess Holiday, is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by August and released for Windows PCs on September 27, 2002. It was later ported to the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 consoles. Princess Holiday's story follows Cliff Cloud, who has to help the princess, Leticia La Mew Symphonia, stay undercover under the name Leticia Apple in his hometown. Princess Holiday enjoyed high sales, charting five times in the national sales ranking of bishōjo games. The gameplay follows a branching plot line which offers pre determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the five female main characters by the player character. Princess Holiday has made transitions into other media, such as a light novel, art book, albums, and a 2 episode original video animation (OVA) series produced by Tadama Film.

Princess Holiday is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Cliff Cloud. Much of its gameplay is spent reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's narrative and dialogue. The text is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Cliff is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. Princess Holiday follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction. In the original Windows version, there are five main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. The DC version extend Diana's scenario, allowing players to try and win her over as well. Also, the port increases the number of endings to twelve, two for each heroine. However, later ports remove the adult content.

Princess Holiday takes place in a medieval town near a kingdom. By chance, Cliff happens to meet the kingdom's princess Leticia La Mew Symphonia (レティシア・ラ・ミュウ・シンフォニア), Though she was a very minor character in the original PC version, she was popular with fans, so her scenario was added in the console versions. The game's scenario was written by Taku Sakakibara, whilst original character designs were drawn by Bekkankō; Princess Holiday is playable on the NScripter engine. August re released Princess Holiday as a regular edition for PCs on October 9, 2003. Alchemist ported an all ages version of the visual novel without any adult content to the Dreamcast console on May 29, 2003 in both limited and regular editions. An all ages PlayStation 2 version was released by Alchemist on May 27, 2004.
