Pocket Waifu is a casual hentai dating-sim released by Nutaku, in other words, it’s an adult version of a Tamagochi, only your pet dog is a waifu and you can have up to nine of them! It’s free to play and available on both Android and browser including PC, Mac and Linux. And well, it’s quite a fun casual dating game! From character and room customization to arcade mini-games and gardening, Pocket Waifu knows how to keep you busy.
You are a loser. Yes, such a terrible loser that you will need a succubus to come to visit and impose you a deal you can’t refuse: give your soul in exchange for hot and horny girls right at your doorstep. Because in addition to being a loser, you’re a lazy ass which closes to no social skills of course! As soon as you will accept, a hot blond girl going by the name of Mary will show up and it will be your job to keep her busy so she doesn’t leave! Feed her, clean her, entertain her with video games and when she’s tired, put her in the bed so she can recover energy. Not so complicated is it? Ultimately, your relationship will evolve and you know what comes next: lustful uncensored sex with a girl that you are basically holding a prisoner in your flat.
First things first, the game really looks great. From the very first screen you know that you are dealing with a professional team. The catch with Pocket Waifu is that you will easily get your four first girls after playing couple hours and you will barely run out of things to do unless your girls are all asleep. Talking about things to do, what do you do in this game? As mentioned earlier, it is quite similar to a Tamagotchi.
Each girl has different tastes and needs so your main objective will be to keep them happy and fill your relationship bar which each one of them if you want things to get serious with them. Especially when each new level of relationship unlocks a new lewd scene!
In order to do so, you have to treat them the right way and keep their happiness, hunger, bathroom needs and energy bars in the green:
These are the main lines of what you have to do. I won’t get in details regarding character customization or real money purchases (that are really not necessary, it’s a dating-sim tamagochi, patience is a virtue), however it is worth precising that you can fully customize the different rooms with new furniture as well as your girls' outfits. You will also unlock the garden after a couple hours of the game in which you can grow crops such as strawberries or flowers, which comes extremely useful to keep your girls happy and horny.
Needless to repeat that the graphics, animations and UI are great. It’s a beautiful mix of eastern and Asian styles with a very colourful palette. There is a good amount of artworks per girl and even though the animated scenes are simple, they are always filled with desire and lust. Also important to notice that the mini-games are really well made, very simple graphics and controls (only clickers) yet very fun and catchy.
The music and sound effects were not composed by Hans Zimmer (*sigh*) however they feel appropriate to the game genre and will not disturb your gaming experience. You will most likely mute it after playing for two hours anyway!
I’m not a heavy player of dating-sim however I will probably keep playing Pocket Waifu for couple weeks. It’s quite a fun game even though I would have enjoyed a bit more dialogue with the girls and any sort of small scenarios to play with each of the girls. But overall, Pocket Waifu is worth giving a try. It’s free, regularly updated, and because it’s available on Android, you can take your waifus anywhere you go!
