Game Trials

I don’t know if this is in the right place or not, so I’m sorry in Advance.

Anyway, does anybody know where I can find a site that has demos of some Bishoujo Games? I need to try Crescendo, Do You Like Horny Bunnies 2, and X-Change 2 to decide which one to get, because I can’t afford all three, and probably won’t be able to any time soon. Any help is appriciated, thanks.

A playable demo or video demo? Because, though I might be wrong, but I don’t there are any playable demos.

Playable would be VERY nice, but I could go with Video.

Where can I find it?

ladyphoenix’s site has the Brave Soul demo. Go to her home page, then click “Coming Soon” and scroll to Download the PLAYABLE Demo.

Slideshow demos should be available for the other games you mention, but you may have to hunt around the Japanese game sites to find them. DYLHB2’s is available here, for example.

I don’t think there are any demos for Crescendo or X-Change 2 playable or slideshow. Just reviews and us to offer our opinions on the games.

And the opinion of MANY of the people here is that Crescendo is very much worth the cost, at least for people who enjoy a good story better than constant, gratuitous (pointless) sex. Not that Crescendo doesn't have sex, it just doesn't shove it down your throat every 2 minutes like the X-Change games do (and to some extent, Do You Like Horny Bunnies).

X-Change 2 is a good game in its own right, but it doesn't really suit my personal taste.

Thanks guys. I’m also looking for some form of demo for Virgin Roster. If you have one, I’d like to see it. I’m mainly interested in games with the animated cutscenes, such as Horny Bunnies and Virgin Roster. If I’m leaving any out, please tell me. I want to get my moneys worth here.

“Moneys worth” is a bit subjective. Take for instance Do You Like Horny Bunnies. Sure, you have animated cutscenes, but the game is fairly short, and the story rather uneventful when compared to some of the other games. It boils down to genre preference, really.

If you like stories that are very dramatic and emotional, then Crescendo and Kana - Little Sister are good buys, as well as Private Nurse.

If you prefer more light-hearted stories, then I’d rather suggest Tottemo Pheromone, the Kango Shicyauzo games, Heart de Roommate and Come See Me Tonight.

If you like detective mystery stories, then Chain, EVE Burst Error (non-adult), Adam: The Double Factor and Critical Point might suit you.

For those with a preference for stories regarding the darker sides of sexuality and human nature, Virgin Roster, Tsuki: Possession and Sensei 2 might be worth checking out.

If you like simulation games or RPGs, Hitozuma Hime Club, Casual Romance Club and Brave Soul might suit your tastes.

If you like games with a high sex/story ratio, you’re looking for Hitozuma Hime Club (mentioned earlier), the X-Change games, the Do You Like Horny Bunnies games, Jewel Knights: Crusaders, and some others.

There are games that aren’t easily classified and that fit several of the descriptions, then there are some I’ve left out, but I need to leave some work for the other posters too

It really does depend on what you want. If all you want is sex, Do You Like a Horny Bunny 1/2 is good. (I know I do ) If you’re just looking for frequent sex that’s probably your best bet, actually. There are other “OMG it’s so hot in here” games, but DYLAHB 1/2 are the most well known.

If you want animation then I really recommend sticking with h-ovas. Koihime is good. D*Vine LUV, I hear, is good. The animation in games is not going to be as good as either of those two titles. There are a lot more sex scenes but the animated ones barely qualify.

On the other hand if you are looking for enjoyment other than pure porn - a story, good and humorous dialog, etc. - then it depends on what you’re looking for.

As Nandemonai has hinted at, I do not think that the animation is what you imagine it to be, since it is more or less a very few stills run quickly on a loop.

Just remember the animation is not nearly what you might think it to be, and in fact some of the best games out there, in my opinion, don’t have animation, such as Crescendo. The others are good as has been mentioned, and it really does depend on what you are looking for beyond animation.

Some of the games produced by C’s (Himeya Soft) had short (very short) animated cutscenes (although none of them were sex scenes)–Desire and Eve: burst error come readily to mind. Bear in mind that if you blink, you might miss any given animated sequence, since they are, as I mentioned, very short.

They blew all their animation budget on the opening for Desire and EVE that’s why everything else is so short

Thanks for all the help guys. I read over AG3’s post, and looked at all the games that he mentioned, and a few more. I decided to order Virgin Roster from Peach Princess, so I’m now waiting for that to come in the mail. Thanks again.
