So I haven't done a Let's Play in a while and I like doing them. So I picked up a cheap and silly steam game and decided this might be fun to LP! It shouldn't be very long. I haven't played very far though so I might fail

Object of the game:
Recruit at least 3 people to the Cherry Tree High Comedy Club! You can recruit up to 6, but I'm not experienced enough with the game to go for that just yet.

Note:
There is the regular version and the westernization. The westernization is the same game, but the Japanese names are changed and so are a few references. For example, main character Mairu becomes Miley. I'm playing the regular version and not the westernized version.

Let's start with our intro!

We meet Mairu and her friend, who has to wipe ketchup off of our heroine's face.

Mairu has something specific to talk about

It is indeed! But apparently things did not go so great. Mairu and her old friend/rival apparently got in to a fight. She says they played a lot of pranks on each other as kids.

So we are treated to a flashback where Mairu goes to see her old friend/rival, who is named Chitose. Mairu decides to call her Chi Chi, a name that doesn't fly

After a bit of bickering, we get to the core of the issue

Mairu tells legend of a comedy duet group from the high school back in the day. Our friend Mairu likes comedy, if that wasn't evident from her hair style

Chichi asks if her and Hoemi are indeed the two only members. "DUH" said Mairu. You only need two people for a duo! And while her math skills are up to snuff, nothing else is

Without being an official club, we don't get funding or a super cool club meeting room

For reference, it's March 22nd. Deadline is May 1st. This is already not promising

Chichi wishes us a sarcastic good luck

Back at the restaurant, Mairu fusses about Chichi being underhanded. Hoemi disagrees

I like Hoemi

No pressure or anything

So wait, do they like meet during the summer and stuff then? Because the school year is almost over and then she graduates

So now we have to try and recruit 3 of the possible 6 people who can join. It's like a friend dating sim. We do this by making conversation and stuff with them, hopefully about stuff they like.

This shows our knowledge level, which will determine how many points we get during the conversations. We can up this skill by reading magazines, watching TV, or going to certain areas like the movie theater or art exhibit.

While exploring town, we meet shrine maiden Kusuko. Mairu comments on how it's no wonder she has thighs like Chun-Li when she has to climb so many steps to the shrine everyday. Kusuko heard every word, but asks us how the club is going and gives us some encouragement

She's also big on the proverbs

From now on, we can work here in the afternoons for some spending cash, which can be used to purchase things like magazines or food to reduce our tired level

Let's see if she has any more words of wisdom before we start our part time job

Fair enough

And we made 1000 of the monies!

The day is split in to 3 sections, morning, afternoon, and evening. Certain actions will pass time to push it towards the next one. So by cleaning, it is now evening. In the evenings we can do homework, save, rest up, read magazines we've purchased, watch TV, or make jewelry for a bit of extra spending money

So since it's evening, we head back home for dinner

Kaoruko is our dorm manager lady. She berates Mairu for not getting a stable job and calls her a moocher

Dinner is enjoyed by all

Hoemi is Mairu's roomate, in case that wasn't clear

So Hoemi decides we should try to recruit new students

Bold faced lie

Oh yes, I have 4 homeworks to do at some point. I'm guessing during spring break. And yes, that takes up time. I also have a fatigue level to keep track of.

Mairu tells Hoemi she doesn't know how to live unless she puts off homework at the last minute. Darn Hoemi, being all responsible




And with that, we're going to save and do homework. Next time we get to meet some of our targets for recruitment!
