Find your perfect girlfriend
My Rental Girlfriend
presents its story from the
first-person point of view
. In this
interactive story
, you are the main character
.
You have
two close friends
- Joe and Matthew. This presents your first choice or decision in the
game
. Taking
Joe’s side
means your character is a
studious pupil who enjoys his classes while taking
Matthew’s side
means your character is a bit of a rebel
who would do anything besides go to class.
This exchange also presents you with your
first dilemma
: you’ve been ditched by your two best friends because they’re going on a double date with their girlfriends. You part ways, and you’re all alone at a park. Suddenly, you hear an altercation between an older gentleman and a young woman. You
save the girl
and begin to strike up a conversation with her. At this point, a pop-up will appear letting you know that you’re about to make a
premium choice
.
Premium choices are
additional scenes
and decisions in the game. If you have played
Episode - Choose Your Story
(which is also a
visual novel game
), you will usually find that one of the choices requires you to
pay real money
to unlock
choices. The money will be converted into
in-game currency
which then pays for the paid options. It’s not uncommon for games like
My Rental Girlfriend
to have this feature, but you may find it off-putting that it was presented so early into the storyline.
Basic game. Bold themes.
My Rental Girlfriend
is among one of the many interactive
story games
available. It has the
same controls and interfaces
as all the other games. What does make it stand out is the storyline. There aren’t many games that explore
romance-for-pay
so if you like that kind of story, you’ll enjoy this game.
