This got me thinking, could you imagine how funny it would've been if Moenovel put H-scenes into a game that originally never had 18+ content?

Horse -anus mod for Skyrim is a definite pick from me.

Easy explanation: The less french the better. I think they only mention her surname prior to chasing her, but I also agree that it's more fun to keep her face hidden. Not a meaningful revelation, but why not play along with the game?

Maybe track 28 is the bad ending? Anyone tried out what happens if you just don't choose a girl?

Okay, I finally slogged through this waist-high puddle of rainbow colored puke and happiness, so I feel like a proper sloppy write up from me is in order. If only because I haven't done it for a while. Fureraba is... Thoroughly enjoyable! As others have alluded to, it's a competent hybrid between a moege and a dating sim, which drops the two most common and also most annoying parts of both genres; The melodrama and on-screen numbers respectively. Fureraba pretty much nails what it what it wants to be, which makes recommending it pretty easy: Are you interested in hours of flutty girlfriend fantasy and are you okay with not much substance outside of that? If yes, dive in and if not, never touch it. Pretty easy, as I said. The few writing things that I will point out is the humor/language. I found the humor mostly chuckle worthy with a fair share of good ol' knee slappers. But a few times, the language was really... eh... blunt, which turned me off sometimes (especially that opening scene, oh my god did I cringe). Expect to be hit by "youthful" words like a sledgehammer. No comments on translation-faithfulness, because I don't know shit about that. Can't think of a clever segue, so let me get the technical stuff over with: The font "bug" is annoying, especially because it translates to other font choices, so it might take some eye-adjusting to get used to. I recommend turning the window transparency lower than you might be used to, because it makes non-bordered lines easier to read. As far as the other options go, it's what you would expect from a semi-modern VN, I can't think of any particular option I am missing, but I'm personally not into settings. Gimme volume scales and an "always inside" option and I'm good. Oh, that I might be missing. Speaking of getting graphic, the art. Yada, yada, art is subjective, yada yada yada, check the screenshots whether you like it or not. For me, the sprites are passable, the CGs are fine (give me very strong moonstone vibes for some reason) and the backgrounds are good. What brings me to even talking about this subject, is the "customization" I mentioned previously. 3 of the 4 girls can have their hairstyle adjusted and will wear a multitude of different outfits through the reading experience, which is actually hella neat. That shows that somebody, somewhere in the production cared enough to commission extra art. Which isn't free, because even "swapping" a hairstyle from a CG takes consideration in terms of layers, lighting and having the foresight to draw a CG considering different hair placements. More customization is found in the soundtrack. For usual purposes, there's enough tracks in this soundtrack and they are decent. People who like lyrical OSTs will be disappointed, not a lot of voice work in the music. The thing I wanted to point out, is that all the heroines have a [friend] and a [love] version of their individual themes. Which I think is pretty neat, the friend version are more upbeat and the love versions more sparkly. (Except for Rina, who for some reason gets a sick bass when falling in love. ) The spoilers window will talk very briefly about the characters. Rating the routes is almost pointless, because all of them have basically the exact same structure and there isn't a complex story anywhere either, so I primarily focus on the girls. liked Misaki the most, followed by Rina, Yuzuyuzuyuzuyzuyu at third and Himari at lowest. They're all good girls. Anyway, nothing really important to spoil in here, but I recommend „uncovering“ the fourth girl yourself rather than looking her up, because the setup for that is fun. That's it. Why did I waste my time writing this instead of reading more "pretend to not be lonely and sad for 10 hours"-porn games on my computer?

Yuzuyuzuyuzuyuzuyuzuyuzuyuz's "big backstory"-moment was kind of weird. Like, there was no setup for Yeah, that was kind of strange, especially when in Rina's story all of that flowed way more natural. But in the end, it's one 10 minute scene after 8 hours of lovey-dovey sugary romance so I won't remember that as a big dealbreaker. Also, I have to give Smee credit for what I call "putting all the money on screen". Giving you the choice of hairstyle for multiple characters and having them swap outfits for every date, while applying those customizations to the CGs too is not cheap and not easy to do. I vividly remember how Sakura Spirit couldn't even bother to make new sprites for the kimono-festival scene (I'm not sure if it was, but I wouldn't be surprised if that scene was actually called "kimono-festival"-scene in the script), leading to the main characters holding invisible weapons. Paying artists (or a sweatshop full with children) ain't cheap, so probs to Fureraba. EDIT: Misaki is a precious cinnamon bun and needs to be loved.

4 girls, one of which has a mystery-face... Where have I seen that dynamic before...?

This will surely help the population crisis.

Speaking of which, the whole Enoshima-gang is really funny. I think their choices were the ones I immediately reloaded for in all routes, because I wanted to see the shenanigans.

I feel like a few things need to be said about best girl:

3 days. It took me 3 days (holidays at that) to get through common and my first route. And afterwards, I learn that there is a buttload of variation/endings depending on choices. Time to settle in boyos, we're gonna be in here for a while.

Uhm, I wish much success with your meat waifus anyways.

Vanilla and Chocola from Nekopara are 6 months old. Because of that degeneracy, I voted to ban every discussion about that franchise for years, but my pleads weren't answered. (please don't actually do that, Sayori's Twitter confirmed Lolipara and I need it)

Okay. Japan, listen. We talked about this. Remember when everyone was agreeing that this Should never happen ever again? So how do you explain this, Japan? How dare you do this to me again. Eroge was a god damn mistake. EDIT: Was this software solely created to make me mad? w

I haven't been masturbating. I will now be masturbating a lot more.

Hijacking and gravedigging this thread; does anyone know whether there will be a free 18+ patch for the Steam release like for Dal Segno or not?

Continuing that train of thought; What is the most common western name for girls in Japanese media?

This is pretty fun so far. The effective usage of the clock for comedic purposes impressed me and so far, the SDs are really great. I beat the prologue and before making my route choice, I will attempt to use my time-travel trope knowledge to throw some predictions out. Let's see how many of them stick and how many fall down:

I mean what I said. I.F is an alternate version of Kotori's route. But Kotori Love Ex P also includes the entire common route and Kotori's route from Da Capo Plus Communication.
