Well, last time you guys introduced me to a ton of great games so it’s that time again.
It’s been a while since I last played an eroge so I was hoping you guys could help me find a new one. Lately I’ve been getting tired of the same old crap that’s been shoveled out but I want to go back to more familiar territory.
I’m looking for a romance oriented eroge but one that isn’t too stereotypical. In other words I’d prefer that the writer gives you enough reason to care about the characters involved and get caught up emotionally with them as the player. I’d prefer a game that starts on a low note, i.e. the protagonist isn’t too popular, has some kind of bad experience or is generally unhappy in some way and then ends on a high note with the catharsis provided by a relationship or realization of romantic attraction between one of the other heroines.
To cut a long story short, I want a slightly more complex/quirky protagonist perhaps with some emotional scars and a story with characters I can actually care about instead of just roll my eyes at. I’m pretty sure there’s at least a few games like that out there as romance in eroge is a very broad and central genre, I just don’t want another lame romantic comedy with a protagonist useless protagonist who is too normal to be real and cookie cutter heroines.
That’s pretty much my only criterium. I’m okay with nakige as long as I can obtain a happy end so I don’t mind if the start or middle is depressing. I just want to feel a sense of catharsis by the end of it.
Thanks in advance guys.
