Bishojo game

A bishōjo game is a type of Japanese video game which centers around interacting with attractive manga/anime-style females. Most of these games involve romance and are not neccasarily "adult".

Outside of Japan, bishōjo games have had almost zero success and are completely unpopular -- because of this, very few have been translated or imported countries other than Japan. In fact, bishōjo are they most popular offline game in Japan.

Gameplay in bishojo games vary. In some games, the object of the game is to defeat a puzzle. In others (which are usually called "renai games"), the object of the game is to interact with the character in order to increase a "love meter". Most of these games are 2D, for obvious reasons (to display manga-style art).

Bishojo games which contain adult content should be referred to as "H-games". Most bishojo game do not have adult content, centering only around attractive females, though this can vary extremely.

 * Women are almost always perfect
 * Women, even in adult games, may be under 18. This is legal since the images are not photographs. Most bishojo games invlove minors, aging from 14-17, and some "lolita" games involve even younger children.
 * Some bishojo game are very disturbing in content
