Anyone interested in seeing dating sims for girls, i.e. "ren' ai" /"bishounen" games translated into english? No, I'm not talking about yaoi, I'm referring to GxB games, like Tokimeki Girl's Side or Angelique. There was this new one that came out that I think was called Mein Liebe....? I googled up this website with about twenty or so OEL ren' ai games, but they were all pretty short, and not of very good quality(and besides which, about half of them weren't ren'ai at all, but bishoujo!!).
reehhh, if you are talking about games where itsa girl protagonist chasing the guys, then have you tried harvest moon more friends of mineral town? you play a girl farmer and pretty much it is the same as the hm: friends of mineral town, except now you go after the bachelors, instead of the bachelorettes
harvest moon is more like a farming sim than a dating sim tho
>>3 that's true, but while about half the gameplay is tending the farm the other half is involved with raising characters' heart levels and unlocking "events" that further relationship levels. that qualifies it as a dating sim, of sorts, doesn't it
a frend gave me neo-angelic once but i couldn't undersatnd it much. what's oel mean?
the problem you face is almost half of the people buying dating sims are girls. Yeah, you heard me. Seems girls in Japan are willing to play dating sims chasing after girls because they like the romance involved. Meaning companies hardly see any need to make renai bishounen games. Unfortunately your best would probably be Tokimemo Girl's Side which you've mentioned.
Here is a demo version of a game where you can play as a girl. Probably not exactly what you are looking for. http://insani.org/karekare.html
Angelique.
>>7 I tried out the demo, and ah, I think it's really good! is there no full version available online? the website states the price as 1050 yen. I'm willing to pay, but is it even for sale?
>>9
insani does not translate commercial games anymore, because the one game they tried merely spawned piracy.

... a profitable visual novel market to spring up overnight, over a minor game few have heard of that has no popular manga or anime tie-ins. Plus a free gumdrop house on lollipop laaaaaaaane.

Dating sims for girls, that don't involve gay sex. Wow. The player character is even a girl, with undrawn eyes in sex scenes like in games for men. I'm a guy, but I feel still feel curious about how it might be different from male-side games.
ehm... ill try to give a visit ;)

'course not. Barely anyone knows about it.
So far there are two dating sims for girls in English.
The first is Animamundi and the second is called Enzai.
The company that released Animamundi is called Hirameki (google it), they're going to release a new game for girls too, called Yojinbo soon. And they're planning to release another one called Princess Nightmare next. Enzai was released by Peach princess. It's a male+male game (yaoi)
