15 of 15 · most liked firstIt looks like the Dōkyūsei remake is currently on sale for $7.99. I believe this is the only available way to play the game in English. My recommendation is to at least play it once without a guide and to play on Classic Mode: store.steampowered.com/app/1689910/...

unlabelledView post →Thinking about how close knit the Japanese animation and video game industry were. Masaki Takei leaves Madhouse to work in the games and designs the absolutely gorgeous characters of both Graduation and Dōkyūsei in the same year, making him immediately unmatched in the emerging realm of galge.

unlabelledView post →Getting my first batch of endings in Dōkyūsei and I am very pleased to announce this game is Fucking Peak. Really just all around the best writing you're probably gonna get in a dating sim. Behind its occasional crass attitude is a very tender game. This shit bangs

unlabelledView post →But it’s those initials title I mentioned that perhaps had the biggest impact. Rance is self-explanatory. Dragon Knight spawns several sequels with DK4 considered a high watermark of H-RPGs. ELF bills Pinky Ponky as the “King of the Nanpa Game,” so I view it as the direct predecessor to Dōkyūsei.

unlabelledView post →I was wondering why I was getting black screens during my Dōkyūsei gameplay, and it turns out the Steam version censored out all the 18+ content. I installed a patch to restore it, but lost my save data. Which is fine, it's only the most I've smiled playing a game since like...Final Fantasy 4 or 6
