Niizuma LOVELY x CATION

Niizuma LOVELY x CATION – This is the latest title in hibiki works’ CATION series. It’s been a year since Hibiki started working in beautiful Sakuragi, a city of four seasons. He’s gotten used to his new life and everything is smooth sailing, but he started to think about his future when his close friend got married. He realized that marriage was something that doesn’t just happen one day, but it is the culmination of ‘everyday’ actions over a long period. Having made up his mind, before long he fell in love with a girl. It was the first step towards a happy marriage.

Similar to Gin’iro, Haruka, this game is separated into two parts: lovers and married couple. There’s only three heroines instead of the usual four. The E-mote system has been improved too, and there’s still the usual systems (lovely call, map selection and item collection to increase attributes). I’m not sure why they keep using the map system when it just seems like a waste of time (you’ll most likely be using a walkthrough anyway). It seems we’re getting more of these married life games. Is it a sign of an increasing age of the target audience?
