Tottemo Pheromone

"Hey Ladies! Get a Waft of My Irresistible Pheromones!"

In Tottemo Pheromone, an adult PC game created by Trabulance and distributed by G-Collections.com, you are Takuya Sakuragi, who recently moved into his cousin’s apartment and started his new life. One day, a beautiful girl appears out of thin air in your living room, and lands in your arms. From that day forth, your life is changed forever. . .

The Story line is a strong point of this game. In order to help Silk, the girl who appeared in your living room, return to her world, you have to gather magical powers for her by sleeping with four specific women: Sana Matsubara, your co-worker at your cousin’s bakery shop “Sakuragi;” Ayumi Wakabayashi, Sana’s best friend, and classmate; Kumi Yamashita, a frequent customer at Sakuragi, and who works at a shop nearby; and Kaori Miyasaka, a frequent customer at Sakuragi, and who works as a hostess at a nightclub. To help you become more popular among women, Silk uses her magical powers to enhance your pheromones, hence the title of this game.

Your decision to help Silk or not, and how you help her, will result in multiple possible endings. The game sticks to the storyline closely, and you are reminded again and again of what you need to do to help Silk return home. The game attempts to raise some morality issues over your decisions to sleep with these women, but they don’t really affect the game all that much because your decision essentially boils down to helping Silk return home, or not.

The Music is extremely good. The vocal piece, Love Paradise, sets the tone for this game, and the other tracks reflect the swinging moods during the game. The vocal piece is so good that you could find yourself downloading it at G-Collections.com's website and playing the song over and over again. Graphics are excellent. The characters are drawn in anime style, and look good visually.

The game proceeds forward with mouse clicks. You can adjust the speed of the text messages, and volume of the music. You can skim messages. You can save at any point in the game. The game features a Hints system, which tells you briefly the consequences of your decisions.

Replay value of this game is high because there are six girls you can end up with. And you’ll be spending some time gathering all the sex scenes as well. The game is rather straightforward, unlike Tsuki Possession, for example. And because there is an in-game hint system, you won’t go crazy trying to figure out how to get all the endings.

Tottemo Pheromone is a fun, lighthearted game with a solid storyline, great music, and great graphics. It is definitely worth buying.
