Otome Game: Starry☆Sky ~In Spring~
So today I finally figured out how to work this darned thing on my computer! It took a bit of figuring out but I actually had to go into my language settings and switch the Unicode to Japanese; which actually is a lot easier than it probably sounds. Anyway, if any of you are interested in downloading the games just comment and I'll explain or write a tutorial entry for you~! ^^
Getting back on track...
Starry☆Sky is a dating sim series based around 12 boys who have the same characteristics as the astrological zodiac and horoscopes. In the games you get to go on dates and whatnot with whatever loveboy you choose, however each is limited to three guys in the game according to seasons. So far bother spring and summer have been released, with autumn on its way September 25th and winter on Christmas day. There are also a series of drama CDs that accompany the game and are sold separately in which you take the role as the girlfriend and them as your loverboys yet again. The CDs consist of scenarios like dates, Valentine's Day, your birthday, etc...
For more information on the series check out this fansite which provides helpful translations of the official site and profiles along with translations of the game and scenarios.
And now... a small preview of Starry☆Sky~in spring~!
Opening Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtlpddJxPPI
From left to right: Yoh Tomoe/ Henri Samael Jean Aimée (Capricorn), Kanata Nanami (Pisces), Suzuya Tohzuki (Cancer).
Without giving too much away... the game starts out with you dreaming about a time when you were younger with three of your good friends. Together you're all stargazing and have a typical otome-esque conversation that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside~ As a shooting star passes you make a wish to always be together forever just as you are... and BAM! You wake up and are running late for school~ XD
Turns out you're safe though! Even after running into Kanata who was running late as well. You arrive in class to hear from Suzuya that your homeroom teacher is running late because there's a new transfer student to your class. (Hm... now I wonder who that could be~?) The teacher returns and wouldn't you know it? The exchange student is none other than Yoh! But of course you don't know that until a bit later. Until then you have a staring contest, Kanata throws around a few wise cracks about Yoh looking girly, and then the teacher announces that Yoh will be sitting beside you~ (*GASP!* I never would've thunk it. <<)
As you introduce yourself eerily enough Yoh claims that he already knows who you are and things get a little funky for your poor, clueless character. He tells you that you used to call him ひつじ (hitsuji) [sheep] and that he wishes you to call him that now. And for whatever reason your character goes along with it like it's nothing. Around lunch time Suzuya and Kanata notice that 'Hitsuji' is still staring at you, and then them and so another confrontation begins!
And finally Suzuya, Kanata and yourself get completely confused once more on why Yoh seems to know you but you don't remember him. So Mr. Hitsuji decides to make a move on you...
He gives you a sweet little French greeting and starts going on about how sad it is you don't remember him.
And of course Kanata slowly gets more and more frustrated with his advances.
Until finally Yoh gives his real [French] name to you and the light bulb goes off! Hooray for memories~
And so the cat's finally out of the bag and you all get past the misunderstanding and propose you should all become friends. However Yoh is very clingy and affection toward you and says he doesn't need anyone else, Kanata probably wants to beat the crap out of Yoh for all of his advances at you, and Suzuya is at a loss and just tries to stay friendly and keep Kanata in check. (Oh otome game stereotypes I never saw you coming~! XD)
