Summary: Chase has finally been accepted to NYU, and makes way to New York to start his new life there and to pursue Japanese studies. After arriving there, he heads over to meet his friend Calawain to go and get settled in his new home. Then basiclly from then on, Chase meets some pretty interesting girls ;D ~ It’s a pretty sweet and simple plot~

Review: Okay, so I know I said Asaki, Yumemishi was the only game I was sort of playing now and okay last time I said I was sort of playing the Jingi Naki Otome Fan Disc…but I also mentioned that I’m now taking my time with Asaki, Yumemishi…since it’s really good and I want to take my sweet time with it now.

Anyways I was pretty intrigued by this game since the girls were based off real life bloggers~! And although it’s short, it’s very sweet and cute.

I also have to admit that the art isn’t the greatest, but she did it under four months. That and the story’s cute and genuine so don’t let the art make you run away.

xD There were actually some pretty funny things that I could relate to that happened in the game. Like…guys at conventions who forgot their deodorant (or if those type of guys who forget even do wear it ever…) and basically make you die a lot in the inside from their smell. x_x;; I also found some of the bad endings pretty amusing though (Such as being thought a pedo. xD)

Gameplay:

Pretty standard like all visual novel games. As for how long it takes to play the whole game, it’s pretty short and wouldn’t take up a whole lot of your time like most doujin games.

Music: I have to say, it was a good choice in music for what she did with the backgrounds. I mean, it’s nothing really fancy or anything but it’s nothing annoying or bland at all. Rather cute with the whole image of this game.

Conclusion: I have to say I do recommend playing it. ^^ I had a lot of fun with it, since I felt it was really down to earth and something I can relate to compared to all the other games that I’ve played. Hinano did a really good job, and @_@ it really inspired me to try doing me own! lol

I even started on a whole bunch of character designs, although I’d head toward making this otome with guys. (Although I have a much easier time drawing females x_x;;) Haha so I guess I have something actually productive to do over the summer…which is like halfway done for me already! And I’ve been all looking into RenPy for later. xD But right now it’s all character, character design, and story that all I’m doing now. And whereas her’s was set place in New York, I might just make mine in San Francisco instead since well I live here and well about an otome gamer…we shall see…hehehe…I’m so motivated. So total props to Hinano for the inspiration~!

But let’s say there’s no way I could get it done in four months @_@;; with college coming up, crap I’d be killing myself before then. Hm…maybe I’ll show you guys sample sketches that I did later. Haha~ Anyone interested? xD

Game: Once again you can get the game here at her blog RenAi Blogger

Sample CGs:

Sidenote: I have like only 10 endings left to finish for Asaki, Yumemishi…haha and I already did 14. Let me just say Rin’s ending is very cute~

Er…and I just found out something new about my college. They have something called “First Rain”…also known as…the naked run.

Crap. I’m so staying in the dorms or hoping I’m not outside at night when the first rain happens.
