CIRCLEMATE game doujin: pixel art from top to bottom

In CIRCLEMATE game doujin, the studio’s first decision is also the most visible: there are no static illustrations that alternate with pixel art. Interface, scenarios and conversations share the same pixel treatment, and the backgrounds invite you to stop. The shelf, the computer or the whiteboard in the club classroom store details between lines of dialogue.

The H-scenes are resolved as large-screen pixel animation, where the game takes its licenses, because the camera can be manipulated at will.

Seven days of training and three heroines

The protagonist of CIRCLEMATE game doujin lost his parents a month ago and lives locked up, with a routine that boils down to eating, sleeping and masturbating. While browsing the fan site of an uragaka joshi – a secret photo and video account – an ad appears offering a kind sexual training for those who do not get along with women. With the recent inheritance and the sense of money out of place, he aims almost on impulse.

The program occupies seven days. The tour starts with explicit verbal support and advances towards increasingly physical practices until reaching the first time of the protagonist, with situations that change scenery and tone.

Dialogue with Kasumi, the game's instructor

In CIRCLEMATE doujin game, Kasumi is the instructor: friendly treatment, lascivious air and sessions in her own home. Sumika is the only girl in the circle and a university student, with a discreet profile, and contact with her is concentrated in the classroom of the association. Tomi is the gyaru style uragaka joshi who publishes her own material and whose account is consulted from the computer in the room.

The three share a voice actress: Akiyama Haruru, with a journey in dramatic audio. The dubbing is complete and the recording is binaural, with whispers in the ear and voices that come from one side only, so the headphones do half the job.

The script is signed by Nidone no Hito, a name known for the detail of its descriptions of paizuri. The text exceeds 100,000 characters and is supported by a succubi jargon that leaves no respite.

Peephole mode, free camera and flowchart

In CIRCLEMATE doujin game there is a second plot line that is not pure wrapping: Kasumi, Sumika and Tomi are too similar, and the protagonist is obsessed with finding the trait they share. For this there is the peeper mode, which allows you to examine the heroine in the middle of conversation and stay with details such as the position of a mole or the shape of a gesture.

Each match scored raises the percentage of “probability of being the same person” and opens up different outcomes. It is the part of the game that rewards looking twice before answering.

Within the H-scenes of CIRCLEMATE game doujin, the camera responds with zoom in and out, scrolling and free framing. In addition, there is an ejaculation countdown and the possibility of jumping to the instant before the climax, as well as a flowchart that orders routes and serves to chase scenes and loose endings.

A new circle with 30,000 copies

Steel Nyanko presents itself as a newcomer circle, and that is the data that weighs the most in the figure: in the case of CIRCLEMATE doujin game, 30,000 copies are not a ceiling for a established franchise, but it is a serious mark for a first job that competes in a saturated catalog. The data corresponds to the doujin sales store and arrives without detailing the period in which it accumulated.

The demo of CIRCLEMATE doujin game is still available and allows you to check the pixel art finish and the mix of voices before deciding. The frame-by-frame animation, the full dubbing and the long script are the three arguments that sustain the interest, beyond the noise of sales.

It remains to be seen if the mystery of the three women and the peephole mode will last seven days of repetition. Is it worth revisiting each scene just for the sake of moving the camera?
