Heroine Dream

Released1996
Heroine Dream is an idol simulation game in which the player takes a role of a producer whose goal is to help Shizuka Maiki enter the scene in style. But that doesn't happen over night, in fact, it requires many weeks of training. The heroine herself has many attributes that lack in quality and as her producer, you will have to balance her training (ballet, dancing, swimming etc.), but at the same time keep an eye on her stress level. The game features voice-acting, but without the ability to see subtitles, only the answers you can select during conversations with other characters. Depending on what kind of a star producer you turn out to be, the game may reach one of several different endings.

About This Game

A school has launched a nationwide search for the best heroine, sending scouts across the country to recruit candidates. Five girls have been selected, and the player controls one of them. Becoming the heroine the school and town are proud of requires more than raw talent — it requires deliberate development. Each week, choices about training shape stats in singing, dancing, and acting. Time in town builds relationships. Auditions on television, radio, and in magazines test everything the player has invested. The finished product resembles a pop idol more than anything else, and the contest is as much about public appeal and personality as it is about any measurable skill. The player's weekly decisions determine whether their girl stays ordinary or becomes exactly what the judges came looking for.
