A remake of Tokimeki Memorial

Tokimeki Memorial is a dating sim by Konami and the first game in the Tokimeki Memorial series. The first game in the series is particularly notable for its "bomb" feature, where neglected, infrequently-dated girls would eventually become angry and gossip to their friends, severely reducing love meters across the board. In the middle of the game, when the number of known girls was high, these "bombs" became the primary concern of the player, forcing careful planning and strategies like round-robin dating.

Se Tokimeki Memorial não existisse, Persona 5 não existiria.
Um clássico absoluto que infelizmente nunca saiu do japão, o gameplay dele é simples mas muito efetivo, personagens super carismáticos e a ost que só tem musica boa. No começo pode demorar pra engatar mas quando você pega o jeito e para pra pensar você já ta completamente investido nos personagens e o jogo consegue te emocionar, me emocionei muito no final quero mt rejogar e fazer outras rotas em outro momento mas totalmente satisfeito e feliz que eu consegui sentar embaixo da árvore da lenda com a garota que eu queria no jogo :)

What makes Tokimeki Memorial so addicting is the way in which it gameifies highschool life, reimagined as a "survival game" of managing your responsibilities, passions and relationships. Not too exciting of a game, since winning the heart of any girl that isn't Shiori Fujisaki is disappointingly easy, but seeing the years go by as your bond with the cast of wonderfully diverse, decently characterized girls evolves can be incredibly immersive. An ugly amount of repeated dialogue hurts this immersion, though, and the ways in which you can interact with the girls are extremely brief and limited.

went in expecting a fun time with some girls, came out realizing I've never felt true stress until I had three girls simultaneously trying to rumor bomb me while trying to squeeze in the fireworks date with Ayako while Yumi and Yuko are both screeching about walking home with me

Had to play this after watching the Action Button review, and although that video was longer than my playthrough of the game, I still had some pleasant surprises and takeaways, most notably 1) this game has an incredible sense of humor and 2) the mental exercise of keeping requisite information at the front of your mind as you strategically schedule out your months makes for an exquisitely satisfying gameplay loop. The game’s biggest accomplishment, however—which I fully anticipated from the AB review—is how much personality/complexity they manage to imbue these characters with using such simple building blocks

My bookshelf looks way cooler with a game box this girly and pink on it.

I played it mainly as Japanese practice, and I would always play for longer than planned because it's so easy to get lost doing one more turn. It's not too difficult to finish a run but there's always tension when your plans get messed up by a surprise bomb warning. You get really invested in your little guy's dating life.
