AliceSoft: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

AliceSoft is an [[H ~~Game~~|eroge]] developer, one of the oldest in existence. Although they are perhaps not as well known as the truly big groups like [[Nasuverse|Type-MOON]] and [[Key Visual Arts]], AliceSoft has managed to carve out a niche for itself by incorporating interesting and involved gameplay elements that occasionally challenge the player. Where other developers will eschew gameplay in favour of [[Doing It for ~~The~~ Art|telling a fantastic story]] or cutting straight to the [[Porn Without Plot|heart of the matter]], AliceSoft embraces it wholeheartedly to the point that many of their works on this wiki could be classified as both [[Video Game|Video Games]] and [[Visual Novel|Visual Novels]].

The company began in 1989 making games for the [[PC 88]], [[MSX]] and [[PC 98]]. These included a [[Visual Novel]] known as ''Intruder'' and the very first Rance game, chronicling the adventures of everyone's favorite [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]] as he searched for and "rescued" kidnapped girls. They continued to release games in uninterrupted succession until 2008.

Many of AliceSoft's games tend to be either [[Eastern RPG|Eastern RPGs]], [[Dating Sim|Dating Sims]] or [[Turn Based Strategy]] Games and have a penchant for [[Affectionate Parody|sly, subtle jabs]] at elements of anime and Japanese pop culture in general. Their more beloved titles fall squarely in the [[Explicit Content]] category and have high quality soundtracks courtesy of their in-house composers. Occasionally the company will allow its games to be adapted into short OVAs that tend to overemphasise the "porn" aspect of the works.
