Swimming Anime Dating Sim

You knew it was coming

        Deviant art user fifthdimensional has answered the prayers of Free! fan-girls everywhere with her creation of Swimming Anime Dating Sim. Users can play as Mizu Oyogu, a high school senior who has recently transferred to the a new school. Luckily for her (and you) this school is crawling with the handsome

 boys from the new summer anime Free! Iwatobi Swim Club! Now, this Dating Sim was created well before the series premiered, the creator pulling most of her inspiration from the original 30 second clip that jump started all the swimming anime pandemonium, hence the use of the characters Tumblr given names (Senpai, Shota etc.) as well as hilarious titles bestowed onto them by the creator (Pimp-Kun anyone?) rather than their real ones. This also means some disappointing news for Rei fans, as since he didn't appear in the infamous commercial, he doesn't make an appearance in the dating sim. At least not yet. The creator has made sure to note that the game is still in it's Beta stages, and is constantly being updated. So far though, I really like this game.

The dialogue is really funny and although the personalities of the characters differ a bit from the actual anime, it's still really enjoyable. Hopefully, the creator will find a way to have the game align more closely with the anime in the future, but even if she decides to go on her own way, I will definitely still play it. Anyway, you can check out the game on her deviantart page and tell me what you think! Until then!

*Bonus* I did a little let's play of the game if you want a preview of what to expect. And don't worry about game spoilers; what happens in the game drastically differs depending on what choices you make!
