Just found this mini otome game a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it, and thus decided to write a short playthrough detailing my thoughts about it~ ^^Basically, it’s a game where you have a boyfriend coming all the way from another state to Tokyo, where you reside, to accompany you for a night <3 It’s a sweet little story where the boyfriend will dote on you (or actually say sweet stuff I guess?), so one can think of it as a visual kind of drama CD scenario to enjoy, since the whole game is fully voiced~! (Other than the heroine that is ^^;) 

You can find more information and even download this game from its official website here: https://mzsksr06.wixsite.com/amakare

Below will be a short playthrough detailing the story of this game. Read on if you’re not afraid of spoilers, if not jump right to the end to know my afterthoughts and review of this game~

Playthrough

The story started off with you getting off from work, and was surprised to see that your boyfriend, Natsu, who was in a long-distance relationship with you, was waiting outside your home. He greeted you upon seeing you and said that since he had bought some groceries from the supermarket, he could make dinner for you if you have not eaten yet. 

You, however, was more interested to know why was he here, and he answered that he had gotten worried after talking to you on the phone yesterday, hearing that you sound listless and tired, and thus decided to pay a visit to you and come to Tokyo. (Natsu is a 3rd-year university student out of Tokyo I think) You were glad that he came, and noticing how cold he was after standing outside your home for a long time, you held his hands to make them warm. Natsu remarked that your hands were warm and suggested that both of you get inside instead.

(Aww~ Natsu looks good up close and he’s cute when he blushed~)

Natsu asked to borrow the kitchen as he stepped inside, since he wanted to make dinner, and asked you to take a bath in the meantime. After stepping out from the shower though, Natsu showed up with a glum face since... he tried making an omelette but it turned out to be a failure. You still ate it anyway and complimented that it’s really good and that cheered him up as he replied that he had put alot of his feelings in making it and was glad that it cheered you up too. (Aww~)

Natsu borrowed the showers after dinner and decided to leave after that, saying that he had planned to stay at a nearby tonight for the night. However, you hugged him from behind, giving him a shock as you requested him to stay here for the night.

He was flustered and mumbled that he shouldn’t stay over at a house where you, as a girl was staying alone since he’s a guy after all. But seeing that you were unguarded and doesn’t seem to mind at all, Natsu got frustrated for a moment and pushed you down onto the sofa, saying that this would mean that you won’t mind if a guy does “that” (hidden meaning - having sex) with you if you allow a guy to stay over at night. 

There are two options here which I felt both choices gave interesting conversations that follow:

(1) You answered that it’s okay if he has sex with you, which he replied that you answering that is only making it more difficult for him to control himself >////< But he assured you that he will not lay his hands on you yet, since he only planned to take the relationship with you onto another step after he graduated from university and started working, though he teased you to get ready for it when it happens~ >////<

(2) You told him that you know that he isn’t that kind of guy who would forcefully have sex with you, and he smiled, confessing that of course, he won’t do that since he doesn’t want to be hated by you, seeing that you were the most important person to him.

You were blushing as you two got off from the sofa, to which Natsu teased that you’re adorable like this. Finally, Natsu decided that he shall stay for the night since you begged him to stay~

However, he was flustered again when he realised that you had wanted him to sleep in the same bed as you. He initially declined to, saying that it’s alright for him to sleep elsewhere and he won’t catch a cold that easily. However, you reminded him that you had heard him sneeze when he was standing outside your home earlier on, which made him felt a bit frustrated and went “Alright! I’ll just have to sleep with you right?” (Haha so cute that he went all calm to being flustered and annoyed like a tsundere suddenly XD)

Natsu lied down on the bed, asking you whether you’ll be satisfied like this now. But, apparently, it’s still not enough since you wanted him to be abit closer, and even hugged onto him, saying that you wanted to be doted on by him. (Heroine seems quite aggressive here XD) 

Natsu had no choice but to dote on you XD He hugged you closer and patted you on the head, remarking that he can feel the warmth coming from your body though he wondered whether he could bear himself for the rest of the night. 

Mustering his courage, he asked you shyly for a goodnight kiss, but to his disappointment, he realised that you have fallen asleep... ^^; Guessing that you must have felt really tired after working so hard at work, he decided to let you take a good sleep tonight, and since he didn’t have to get back until the evening the next day, he wondered whether you and him should stay at home and catch a movie, or go out for a walk, though he knew that regardless which choice you chose in the end, he shall accompany you all the way~

“Rest well for today, good night~”

Afterthoughts

This was such a cute game that I was smiling and giggling from the beginning till the end seriously~ <3 

The story isn’t anything special, but the way the game executed it was a really pleasant experience, from the transition of the character portraits to the timing of the voice acting and music playing through the game. The flow was smooth and very natural, and honestly, I really enjoyed the voice acting here. The voice actor really did a great job and I might be looking up on his other works in the future. Art was also pretty good for a doujin game and seeing that the artist/scenario writer is going to do a sequel of this game (though it will be a different guy next time), I’m looking forward to what it would be about~
