One Sentence:
A dating simulation of a college hula hoop club.

One Paragraph:
This is a dating simulation, similar to and inspired  by Dream Daddy, for a college hula hoop club. You play as a normal college girl named Sapphire and can romance one of two club members. There’s Maria, your friend for years who founded the hula hoop club and the only other club member Aimee, a goth girl who you’ve never met before. There are several routes and 6 possible endings to achieve (good, neutral and bad) and 2 unlock-able pictures if you can date either girl successfully. It can be replay-able and there are many choices throughout the game.

2/3 Paragraph:

Throughout the game you are faced with an array of choices from choosing which girl to talk to or choosing if you like something or not. It works like a regular dating simulation and an avant-garde dating simulation, similar to Doki-Doki Literature Club. The goal of my project was I wanted to juxtapose the ‘normal’ to the ‘weird’ (weird might be an understatement). Through this juxtaposition I want to show the difference in personalities and specifically highlight how the same game category can have two different styles.

So the ‘normal’ dating simulation is the path of Maria. She is the childhood best friend trope and her path runs like a normal dating simulation with neutral endings and a good ending. Opposite to that is Aimee’s path, where she doesn’t talk much at the beginning, but if you choose the wrong thing, you could end up dead. Aimee is the only one out of the two with a bad ending, and it’s BAD. I want this project to also bring simulations into the art world more, not necessarily dating simulations.
