Tokyo School Life 2015

Tokyo School Life accomplished what it set out to do, teach you about Japan whilst romancing three adorable girls. This one simple feature, the dual subtitles, left me wanting this to become the norm in all Visual Novels – it’s such an interesting mechanic which almost educates you whilst providing entertainment. However, what Tokyo School Life could take from others is how to portray the protagonist and dial back on stating the obvious so often. Despite the few flaws and annoyances, the game offers multiple relationship routes, accessible gameplay, and stunning aesthetics, it is a beautiful and endearing Visual Novel which I honestly recommend to fans of the genre.

You play the game as an exchange student who is excited by the prospect of spending a few months in Japan...

The visual novel format, animations, and cultural references all end up creating something that feels incredibly Japanese. There's even an anime-style opening to boot. It's recommended for those that wish to learn about Japanese culture, or practice reading Japanese, but it may not be a game that appeals to the masses.
