This game offers the player two different voyeuristic experiences. First, is the one the game designers created, where you creep around unlocking suggestive images. Second, is the one that you human behind the keyboard is doing, as you peer into the psyche of the type of person who created or consumed this game 30 years ago.

This is not a very good stat-raising game or dating sim. But it is sort of compelling, despite being very juvenile, aggressively horny, and having a messed up translation. The characters and their actions are often manipulative, creepy, or nonsensical in a way that is not making any kind of statement. The game, like many of its contemporaries, operates on its own game logic about women. This game avoids any attempt at self-reflection it clearly is just targeted at a certain kind of person at a specific place and time, and I think that can be interesting to experience. I would not recommend this game to anyone looking for the traditional things you get out of a game, be it storytelling, challenge, a sense of satisfaction, etc. But instead as an anthropological find, it's interesting.

Pinguim é legal, comem peixe, escorregam no chao com a barriga, sentam em cima do ovo para chocar e esquentar, falam uma lingua pinguim e tem cores diferentes que nem humanos, eu n gosto de humanos e nem do usuário"fedo*" pois ele esta tentando bajular meu namorado e eu ele não é legal, eu amo meu namorado .

santa claus (@ciosear) gifted me this game because it was on my steam wishlist. i wanted to play it out of curiosity and because i'm a game historian (or interested in that field).

it's literally a much worse pia carrot, which is already a derivative of tokimeki memorial. the protag sucks and is misogynistic. i have pia carrot for free so, thanks, but no thanks, i'm refunding it.

I get that this is supposed to be some sort of classic but fuck this idk how anyone would get any scene or semblance of progress without a guide besides pure luck why is there a random chance of most events in this happening or not, what does that add to the game. Also, I only didn't 100% because I was missing 2 CG's and I am not playing this game all over again for them
while this game has a nice pc98 style it is just pure torture
