Okay so I've been wanting to write this for a while and while it's more simulation-y than visual novel-y (no vndb forgive me automod-chan) but <strong>Dream Boyfriend</strong> is a trip.
I saw it on the Play Store a few weeks back looking for otome (because that's where all the otome is apparently ^even ^if ^it's ^maybe ^not ^"good" ). The plot opens up with this girl looking at the stars with her childhood friend boy dude pal homeslice breadslice guy. But not before Protag-chan has ~the sorrows of being bored with everyday life~ because we need an excuse for boys to spice up her blank slate life.
Anyways you pretty much point your phone camera up at a meteor shower because...idk I think your phone beeped ^I ^read ^this ^for ^an ^hour ^like ^a ^month ^ago ^it's ^fuzzy . Anyways you're pulled to the character creation screen because this game is build-a-boyfriend and Protag-chan's phone downloaded a ~mysterious app~ (yes it's the one you're playing and also no Mystic Messenger jokes because this company also has Dream Girlfriend). I had a goal to make Battler because I thought it'd be funny. After you hit okay on the (very limited) creation screen....gods shows up. Hipster lookin anime boy deities. As it turns out, they're running low on gods and need to make more, so they made an app for it! And ~you get to raise your little deity to be the kind of god you want him to be~. Also they "call them boyfriends for convenience". Go on "dates" to shape his personality and make sure he looks handsome or something!
After that you're pulled into your gacha game territory. And...it feels like it lacks anything beyond "set timers for stuff to rake in your virtu-monies and play the daily gacha, get some stat grinding dialogue options, and micromanage micromanage micromanage". But wait, it's not a mobage without Paid Transactions! Yeah, it has the separate "stars" (or it was coins as its name I can't remember) as its premium "pay real money for or do shady personal info surveys for" virtu-money.
After the probably badly translated prologue there's not much more camp to be found beyond a ridiculous "kissing" minigame? Spam the chat option within your "stamina" amount and levels up your "conversation" or whatever and after dialogue bits rapidly tap screen with super campy kiss sound effect. It's just as weird and vaguely awkward as it sounds I promise.
I uninstalled the game after a few weeks after ignoring it after playing it once but shoutout to the badly loading and hard to navigate GUI and some these high quality screenshots!
Battler your whole life is a horror novel
^there's ^only ^one ^bonus ^screenshot ^for ^now ^because ^I'm ^writing ^this ^from ^my ^phone ^and ^imgur ^chrome ^isn't ^loading ^and ^the ^app ^flat ^out ^doesn't ^work
There's Dream Boyfriend, can get addicting but I'm recently taking a break on all the mobile games I'm playing. android; ios
Then there's Prince Maker. Like Princess Maker but shota.
There's also the Style Savvy/New Style Boutique games for the ds/3ds, but I've read the men's clothing are unlocked after you finish the main story.
