Yuki Hotaru
In this game, the player controls a successful doctor who left his quiet
hometown for Tokyo. There, he had a successful career at the central hospital,
which made him forget his past life in the province. However, an inexplicable
desire to return overcomes him, so he takes the next train to his hometown. He
finds that many things have changed. Other people are living in his former
house. His old lovers have a new life. Little children have turned into pretty
young girls. Some people remember him and not everyone is happy about him
leaving the town and moving to Tokyo. Now, the doctor wants to establish good
relationship with the female inhabitants of the town… which for him, can
only mean one thing.
Yuki Hotaru plays like a traditional Japanese adventure game, without
exploration, puzzles, etc. Text boxes are displayed on top of 3D images or
pre-rendered backgrounds. The seduction of the girls does not depend much on
the hero’s actions (even though the player is required to make decisions from
time to time). Once in the seduction mode, the player is able to physically
interact with the girl, by placing, clicking, and dragging the mouse button to
imitate actual movements (for example, unbutton a shirt, caress a body part,
etc.).
