Our take on ドトコイ
Its focus on text scenes and response choices keeps the romance structure simple, but gives up broader gameplay systems such as combat, exploration, management, or puzzles.
What is ドトコイ?
Dottokoi is a romance adventure about a high school sophomore starting at a new school after transferring.
On the way to class, the protagonist encounters a talking object shaped like a square and learns that a spell has lowered the resolution of handsome characters. The game progresses through written text and selectable responses. At first, potential love interests appear only as indistinct squares, but their graphics change as affection increases.
