How you meet each girl is a set part of the story, but how relationships develop is most entirely up to you. The girls here are the quiet and isolated Aeka, the student council president Mizuki, and the bizarre fantastical cat girl Nekoko. Things start out lighthearted enough with each of the girls (and with Kouhei for that matter), but soon enough the sense of drama increases and even heads down some dark paths depending on your choices. The success of Yume Miru Kusuri hinges solely on the quality of the character development. I know this doesn’t sound very different from other visual novels, and in some sense it’s not, but the characters all stand out in unique ways and the manner with which the story draws you in can be quite captivating at times. As the story progresses Kouhei must choose between the three girls and decide what relationships he wants to pursue. When Kouhei meets three girls who all share similar feelings about the world their destinies collide and their fates get tied together. Like most kids his age Kouhei feels a little on the lost side and though he’s surrounded by people, he feels lonely to an extent. The story follows Kouhei Kagami, who is your average Japanese school student with solid grades, friends, and such. Each results in a different path, though they all converge on a larger storyline. For instance at various points you will be presented with options like what to do, where to go, or who to hang out with.

The content of the story is quite captivating at times, and quite cheesy at others, but throughout it you are given a sense of control over some of the events. Similar to other entries in the visual novel genre Yume Miru Kusuri puts you in the shoes of a male character on the verge of an adventure in relationships and sex. Like most other eroge visual novels Yume Miru Kusuri is rated 18+ and contains adult content. Originally released in Japan in 2005 this visual novel took a while to make its way to the States, but it received an English translation by Peach Princess.

This time around it’s Yume Miru Kusuri: A Drug That Makes You Dream by Ruf. Hey guys! Once again we have an eroge PC game for review.
