Following their hit romcom otome game, Can I Not Fall for Idols?, Japanese indie developer Mikimaki returns with their second otome title, “Ikemen Big Bang: A Dating Game About Potentially Hot Guys“.
This game’s biggest feature is a unique system that lets you choose whether to make the characters hot… or leave them exactly the way they are. You can experience each ending with the character design you like best.
The illustrated CGs, full voice acting, and comedy elements loved in the previous game are back and better than ever, now with even more story content and event scenes to enjoy! The game is set to launch on PC via Steam on November 12, with a Nintendo Switch port also confirmed to be in development. This title is fully voiced in Japanese and supports Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean languages.
STORY
You are a 20-year-old girl helping out at the cafe run by your parents.
But on your birthday, something unbelievable happens.
Your pet chinchilla suddenly starts talking.
“The customer who came in today is going to turn hot. Why not trust your gut and start dating him?”
And just like that, you begin a “trial relationship” with a guy you just met that very same day…
Will he actually turn hot? Or…!?
