    It 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/...

    I PLAYED A VIDEO GAME TODAY Fucking GOD Dōkyūsei is fun. I'm struggling to parse the joy it gives without using "vibes" but idk if I can. The vibes are out of this world, the game overfloweth with charm and humor and blue skies

    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.

    Got to play a couple more routes of Dōkyūsei today and, shocking absolutely nobody, the game is still peak. Just some of the most sensational writing I've seen, everyone is so quick and snappy and able to fit their roles so well. What a fucking joyful game

    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

    My review of Dōkyūsei touches upon the importance of Takei's contributions. I also recommend my reviews of Tokyo Nanpa Street and Can Can Bunny to see an arc of why character designs and expressions were integral to erogē: www.patreon.com/OgreRun/post...

    This all leads to the monumental Dōkyūsei which was internally developed as a nanpa game so there’s a clear connection from Tokyo Nanpa Street: www.patreon.com/OgreRun/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.

    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
