Minami Hamazaki, for all its flaws, was a memorable game, for its colorful graphics, it sense of humor and its great quantity of content. This game is very memorable for french peoples who were teens on the internet during theses years.
They worked on a lot of projects, all inspired by japanese art. They made an adult game, a flash short that won awards, a web portail for manga-inspired artists. They even produced in 2009 an animated show named Bunny Maloney (cancelled after one season due to poor ratings).
The game was made by Studio Tanuki, a french animation studio inspired by japan culture and art.
The story of the studio is interesting, as Dating Sim was a very popular game on the web, but it seems they failed to capitalize on their notoriety on the long term.
The game was available on his own website https://t.co/4VkwSveT4b, now defunct. We can still play it on other websites, but content is not loaded properly. My best guess would be the game trying to reach a server that no longer exist, were content were updated regularly.
What is also surprising for a free flash game is the large amount of content : You can attend class, manage to get very prestigious job, even read mails and send a response, nice neutral or mean. There’s also random encounters if you go to places were other characters are.
Aside from the obvious problematic premise of the game and the genre of datin sim in general, the relationship in the game is evolving rather naturally . You do some small talk, get to know each other, become friends, then kiss for the first time and go on dates.
The main gameplay of the game is when you interact with Minami. You can talk to her at school or, when you're close enough, ask her on a date. She asks you questions, and you can choose one of three answers. Depending on what you choose, your love meter will increase or decrease.
Each activity consume time, and going from location to location to. Also, most of the places have opening and closing time. The goal is to balance work, school, character improvement and time spent with Minami, for finally win you bet before the deadline.
Minami Hamazaki Dating Simulation is a french flash game by Studio Tanuki.
The protagonist has made a bet with his friends, saying he’ll have sex with Minami Hamazaki, the most popular girl of high school, before valentine’s day.
Problem : Minami is "only interested by studies".
