Eroge

Eroge – is the Japanese abbreviation of erochikku geemu or “erotic game”, essentially a seduction sim. Also known as “hentai games” or “H games”. The genre is very popular in Japan and the goal is to meet girls and get them into bed and please them there — or into a dungeon and rape them there; some eroge’s are violent and abusive. Many eroge’s have been turned into anime series, sometimes staying quite true to the original and sometimes rewriting the story completely. Popotan is based on an eroge but the only thing they kept from the game was the graphics designs of the girls. Everything else in the TV series is entirely new, including the plot line. (They even left out the player avatar.) This is distinct from a “dating sim”, where the goal is to get one of the girls to confess her love to you. Dating sims do not include explicit sex as a reward for winning. There are also otome games where the avatar is female and the targets are male. Japan termin.
