#like it is difficult to recommend this game to someone who doesnt read yaoi bc the main gameplay... is so boring and grindy

i love nu carnival... it really is a game made for fujoshis by fujoshis. like even if we didnt know already from interviews and such how the devs are it would be so clear from.the game itself. like firstable being the first yaoi gacha game where the male playable character IS HIS OWN CHARACTER and not a self insert. the game itself is basically a dating sim but with gacha and tcg strategy/mechanics. the game design and battle systems are soooo phoned in man....THE ULTS DONT EVEN GET SPECIAL ANIMATIONS... but they do have specific battle lines. and getting the card means you can stick your limited edition blorbo on your screen and if you do enough pulls you can get the relevant eiden and that unlocks more specific dialogue!! every birthday anniversary theres an in character letter from the character to eiden. every other month or so they seem to come out with a new line of outfits to sell as standees, and i always looove zooming in and inspecting each character. and of course the writing of the rooms, events, stories, etc..but i think all the little flourishes and details that work to establish more characterization and relationship stuff with eiden is so great. product/marketing strategy made in a lab to perfectly tap into the fujoshi contingent and get us to open our wallets
