Introduction to Renai Games
Overview
Renai games are Japanese computer games that focus on romantic interactions with anime characters, primarily featuring anime girls. As a subset of Bishojo games, the term "Renai" is a Japanese abbreviation for "romance." While not all Renai games contain explicit content, some do include pornographic elements. Games with hardcore content are typically referred to as "H games." In English, terms like "dating sim" and "visual novel" are often used interchangeably with Renai games, though "love sim" or "love adventure games" might be more accurate.
Key Features
Renai games follow conventions set by the 1992 release, Dokyuesi. Players usually assume the role of a male character surrounded by female characters. The gameplay involves interacting with these characters, aiming to raise their "love meter" through appropriate dialogue choices. Games are time-bound, often spanning a month or a few years in game time. Success is defined by winning the affection of a character or achieving true love, with the possibility of replaying to explore different outcomes.
Popular variations include high-school romances and fantasy settings where players face challenges like protecting a girl from monsters. Despite the variety, the underlying theme is always romance.
