There's something to this game. For all the faults I'm about to list about why it isn't really a game that's worth your time, all the people who feel "seen" by its mere existence as a commercial product on one end versus a western critical apparatus on the other whose members will never deign themselves to play any game like it, no matter how well made or historically important, all the dryness of an English localization that does its cause no favors, and for so, so much else about it, there's something to Bunny Garden. Something to this humble little talk-'em-up from small-time, yet fairly prolific Qureate, a game that takes place almost entirely in a club perhaps best described as a modern maid cafe run by Hooters, minus the chicken wings. I have another dating sim essay in the works that I should be trying to polish up in-between work rounds, and yet—and YET—I cannot get this flawed thing that barely passes for an actual dating sim out of my mind. So I'm going to talk about this game and if this thing ends up being some of the only serious writing to ever emerge on it in English from someone who's played a game or two or three like it (there's three of them it's riffing on, the answer is three), then so be it. I will bear this horniest of crosses and you all can watch me rhetorically nail myself to it, if you like. I don't mind an audience.
