''Yarudora'' (やるドラ, lit. "A drama you do") is a [[Visual Novel]] series of [[Sony Computer Entertainment]], developped by Sugar&Rockets and [[Production
Unlike those two titles though, the ''Yarudora'' games play as a [[Choose Your Own Adventure|complex branch-system]] [[Visual Novel]]. At various points of the game, the player will have to choose between three options when prompted to answer a question by another character, or when making a move. The player can take all the time he needs to answer, but depending of the choice made, [[Event Flag|flags]] will (or will not) be raised, and the string of flags you've raised throughout the game will determine which routes you'll go and, consequently, which Ending you'll get. Upon finishing a playthrough, you get the possibility to watch it in the "Replay Mode", like if it was a drama or an OVA (hence the series' title and motto).

The ''Yarudora'' series are well known for their compelling storylines, [[Round Character|developped characters]], and [[Multiple Endings|their high number of Endings]]. A typical ''Yarudora'' game will have 3-5 Good Endings, 3-5 Normal Endings, and 17-20 Bad Endings. Depending of the game's story genre, those Bad Endings can range from joke endings to [[The Many Deaths of You]].
The games are made in nearly Full Anime (with a few still images sprinkled in), with the animation done courtesy of [[Production
