After a desperate search for funding due to your abysmally low bank account balance, you came across a flyer that changed your life. “Rental Girlfriends Needed” was written at the top of the flyer. After a brief consultation with your wallet, you took in a deep breath and headed straight for the address indicated at the bottom of the piece of thick parchment. Normalcy lasted for quite a few months. You would go on dates with the clients, charge extra for special requests that weren't part of the session (special requests rated PG-13 e.g. Hand-holding, pet-name calling, forced laughter, etc. and never anything that went over the boundaries listed in the contract They're a very professional business.); it was a rather easy job, though uncomfortable at times, but the money helped your living situation substantially. Most of the time you were just there to give the patron a status boost so they didn't seem completely alone. You were financially comfortable, only working mornings and afternoons, and sometimes the clients were nice. You liked the job, it wasn’t too much work and you were treated on every date. When the time was up, you would smile and walk home. It was nice.You were low on money. You were desperate for a job. But why did it come to this?
And then they showed up.
Datematsu is a series of short Visual Novels where you're treated to a date with one of six Matsuno brothers. There may only be around 2-3 hours of gameplay, various choices that lead the date into different directions, and just all-round silly fun with boys of incredibly diverse personalities. This Visual Novel is by no means just for fans of the show. There will be an intro scene that explains the general premise of the show and the main characters that will be the stars of the game, so there's no confusion if you aren't a fan. After every visual novel is finished, there will be a poll as to which Matsu you'd like to date next. Once every Matsu gets a turn, there will be a special VN that includes all of them as a thank you to those who took interest in the project and enjoyed it. The visual novels will be entirely free and posted on itch.io, so any money you decide to pay is considered a donation. You by no means have to pay for this game, and if you do, please notify me immediately.
