Come See Me Tonight (Watashi ni Konya Ai ni Kite)
When high school senior Ryoichi Sakaki arrives home from school one day, he finds that his parents has upped and left. They even placed the house up for sale and left Ryoichi with an envelope of money to make his own way in the world. Fortunately he is recued by his aunt, Chidori, who takes him in and offers him a job in her restaurant.
Come See Me Tonight is a fairly typical adult visual novel where the main character is surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls. The entire game takes place in a restaurant setting which makes for a nice departure from the usual high schools that the genre favors. Unfortunately, the change in scenery is rather limited and the characters still conform to the typical clichés. Ryoichi's aunt is determined that he take over the restaurant one day and as such is adamant that he marries one of her daughters. This is actually quite disturbing seeing as the characters are all blood related! Ryoichi has his pick of Misago, who is a bit older but crazy about cute things, Tsugumi, the tomboy who is in the same grade as he is and Kobato who is much younger. There is also Hina, a girl from another restaurant learning the ropes from Ryoichi's aunt and most disturbing of all, the aunt herself whom according to Ryoichi resembles his mother. The girls all fall into the typical clumsy, bossy and cute categories so if you have played any other visual novel before you will know what to expect. There is no sexual content during the first half of the game as you are introduced to all the girls and learn the ins and outs of the restaurant. You have about thirty or so choices to make during the game which determines which girl Ryoichi eventually ends up with. The choices are extremely obvious and nobody should have any trouble ending up with the girl of their choice. Once you have played through the game there is also a "harem" route which enables Ryoichi to end up with ALL the girls. The art style is very nice with some cute character designs but don't expect many different outfits or locations. The characters all only have one or two outfits and pretty much the whole game takes place in the restaurant so there isn't much change in scenery. The h-scenes are all uncensored but rather tame compared to other titles in the genre. Interestingly enough, Ryoichi's face is visible during these scenes instead of the usual blank faced protagonist that is so common. There are some nice tunes on the sixteen song soundtrack but the short load time when scenes shift and the music change can become a bit annoying. The character voices are all in Japanese and once again sound about average for the genre. I would have liked to see some more character development as Ryoichi is pretty bland. Characters all have exaggerated personalities in this game but the way that Ryoichi just accepts everything that happens to him is a bit boring. The girls all have their own quirks but never say or do anything that really make you connect with them. The lack of animations, locations and even expressions for the characters make the whole game feel static and lifeless. If you want a light-hearted adult visual novel but don't want to stray too far into the murky depths of the genre then "Come See Me Tonight" should be sufficient. Apart from the whole creep incest angle, which is never even brought up in the game, you won't find anything too perverted. Depending on your taste, this will either be a good or bad thing.
