Yesterday was my first day of playing Heart de Roommate. I left off last night at the beginning of episode twelve of the game, and I intend to continue tonight.
Asumi struck me as awesome. I can understand that not everyone would like her smugness, moodiness, and overpowering nature, but if you ask me, it’s funny.
Mayumu is close behind in second place for best character, as far as I’m concerned. This is another quirky individual who pops up to say strange things, often hinting that she has a huge ego. Very cool.
I like the episode-by-episode plot structure. It even has an advantage over Private Nurse: save anywhere, any time.
As of episode twelve, there’s now over twenty decision points. It’s kind of nice, rather than some games that go for forty minutes of uninterrupted plot before a single choice. (I don’t hate them by any means.) And the choices seem significant - the “mop the floor versus sweep the floor” choice in an old favorite game seemed awfully random.
Anyway, it looks like I’ll run through this game once or twice before I get serious about Day of Love. That could be really good, or it could be something to donate to a local library.
Well, have fun.

Your “Asumi-chan kick!” is nothing compared to my “Gai super upper!”
