Description

On an isolated island, a distant tropical wonder serves as home to the bear eared girl Momo. Despite the beautiful scenery in this seemingly idyllic paradise, she still experiences a sense of loneliness, as her only friends on this island are the cat eared Kuro and the rabbit eared Moka. However, they have slowly been drifting apart from one another due to the existence of a certain diary. But one day, a young man washes ashore, unable to recall any detail of his past beyond his name thanks to a few of his belongings being with him. Momo discovers Ryou in his daze as he wakes up on the beach unable to grasp how he ended up in this strange little paradise, and with her help begins to shape together what is now to become his new life.

With the positive energy of Momo and the help of Ryou, the three girls and the lost young man find themselves building a new day on the solitary island together full of excitement and titillation.

<report>How did you get stranded on a small island? What happened to cause you to lose your memory? Who are these three girls you meet on the island? Why do they have animal ears, and why is their behavior so strangely animal-like? Will we ever get to the bottom of these mysteries? Of course not! Such questions are irrelevant when you're surrounded by such oddball cuties. All that matters is finding a way to survive and enjoy your days, far away from society and its stupid constraints.

A lighthearted and surprisingly okay moege with several cute and happy sex scenes. It manages to avoid a whole range of bad tropes by not giving a damn about the world around the island. Just don't expect its backstory to go anywhere. The localization has some technical issues, but it's still somewhat tolerable.

<report>Very cute and linear story of survival on a stranded island with a bunch of kemonomimi's. I was a bit disappointed it wasn't longer because the characters were surprisingly fun and they bounced off of each other quite well along with a refreshing setting. Unfortunately a lot of concepts are left completely unexplored and there is very little romance to speak of along with a very abrupt ending. I was taken aback just how quickly the game throws an H scene at you with so little relationship development happening. The English text is also pretty poorly edited with typos all over, and sentences left incomplete due to line breaking. All those gripes aside though, the art is fantastic and the voices are top-notch. Worth checking out if you really want something cute to read, otherwise no rush.

<report>Readers might ask themselves, how come these isolated heroines know so little of the world? and are alone yet wearing immaculately clean and expensive-looking clothes? and seem to be doing just fine for themselves despite sleeping in caves and so on? Well, forget all that, just look at how cute they are!

This game makes it clear early on that it does not take itself seriously, rather it's more of a lighthearted distraction that can be surprisingly amusing. It's honestly not bad but don't expect much logic or a deep storyline, but do expect a few chuckles here and there.

<report>I couldn't get through the trial on account of all the English translation problems. The writing itself is okay, but it's full of random line breaks that ruin the flow of reading, and there's a bunch of nonsensical questions everywhere (in just 10 minutes of reading I found these: link link link ).

A real shame given the production values seem amazing otherwise.

<report>A game about cute kemonomimi lolis trapped on an island where our self-insert protagonist washes ashore with your typical amnesia trope.

I was surprised that this game didn't have more H-scenes, considering that Watakubi is a circle that produces a lot of ero-doujins featuring Momo and other loli-type characters. There is only one H-scene per character, along with a not-foursome that doesn't count, so if you're primarily here to lewd the adorable lolis, you won't get a whole lot of that.

However, it is one of the few loli games that received an English translation, though I'm not particularly happy about the fact that they removed the third person speech pattern when translating Kuro and... Read more »
