4 | ''Lugame Lunchtime Games Club!'' is a [[RomanticComedy romantic comedy]], [[SliceOfLife slice-of-life]] MediaNotes/RenPy-based VisualNovel by H. Hochkins, who also developed the board games Buck: Legacy and BAKA!. |
5 | The visual novel can be accessed via Platform/{{Steam}} and itch.io. |
6 | |
7 | ---- |
8 | [[PlayerCharacter You]] (aka Yuki) are an ordinary high school student who befriends four cute girls and joins a club together to make friends and avoid responsibilities. |
9 | |
10 | The club members are: |
11 | * '''K-T''': [[{{Chuunibyou}} A small chuuni]]. She thinks and acts like an android, and is the only member of the games club at the start of the visual novel. |
12 | * '''Tifa''': [[{{GirlNextDoor}} A literal girl next door]]. Like you, she enjoys gaming and avoiding social contact. Considering all the fanservice involving her, [[AuthorAppeal the developer has an obvious bias]]. |
13 | * '''Stacey''': [[RichBitch A rich, beautiful]] and [[AlphaBitch popular]] [[StudentCouncilPresident Student Council President]]. Who loves all the admiration that comes with the title, but not the duties that come with it. |
14 | * And the elusive '''Alex''', [[CoolBigSis Stacey's]] [[TheDragon assistant and best friend.]] She keeps up appearances but is known for having a [[BadLiar silver tongue.]] |
15 | |
16 | ---- |
17 | !! This game provides examples of: |
18 | |
19 | * AccidentalPervert: The player walks into a room where Tifa's is changing on no less than three occasions. |
20 | * ACupAngst: Alex keeps many of her emotional secrets, so Stacey enjoys teasing her, calling her the chairman of the 'itty bitty titty committee'. |
21 | * AlphaBitch: For all of ten seconds. She gives up the act the moment she doesn't need to keep up appearances. |
22 | * AlternateCharacterReading: K-T's name. When written/read looks like a machine designation, but when spoken aloud is 'Katie'. |
23 | * BeachEpisode: Every main route ends in a visit to a beach resort. |
24 | * BigLittleSister: Despite being treated like the youngest, K-T is actually a dependable older sister to her younger brother. |
25 | * TheBigGirl: Alex and Tifa tower over the other girls. |
26 | * BlandNameProduct: References to popular video games are made frequently, albeit with a few letters jumbled around. |
27 | * BustContrastDuo: Tifa vs Stacey. But since Alex is so flat, one could argue Stacey vs Alex also counts. |
28 | * CantHoldHerLiquor: Stacey becomes reckless when drunk, leading to shenanigans. |
29 | * ChickMagnet: Despite being a reclusive gamer with no social contact, the girls in the club just can't seem to get enough of him. |
30 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: Tifa x Yuki. Although she only starts to make a move when there's a rivalry. |
31 | * {{Chuunibyou}}: K-T through and through. She acts like a robot, you'd be forgiven for believing her if she didn't sometimes forget. |
32 | * ClubPresident: K-T (by default) as she's the only member of the games club. |
33 | * CloudCuckooLander: K-T to a T. But the longer you spend talking with her, the more the chuuni facade erodes. |
34 | * CoolBigSis: Alex is mature and dependable, or at least, that's what she wants you to think. |
35 | * CosplayOtakuGirl: Tifa has multiple outfits and is eager to show them off to impress Yuki specifically. |
36 | * DatingSim: Each of the game's routes ends in a romantic date. In K-T's case, the entire route is a succession of dates. |
37 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: Defeating the Big Bad (Stacey) and her Dragon (Alex) instantly ends hostilities. |
38 | * EmbarrassingHobby: One of many things Alex wants to keep secret, her penchant for [[{{Toku}} super sentai.]] |
39 | * {{Fanservice}}: Excessive, yet somehow still gets away with a PEGI 12 rating. |
40 | * FeaturelessProtagonist: Yuki, the namable protagonist is never shown. But according to Stacey, he is 'cute'. |
41 | * FeminineWomenCanCook: Tifa seems to be the only one capable of preparing a meal. |
42 | * {{Flanderization}}: Alex's cool, elusive demeanor is in tatters by the time 'I Dated A Robot' came out, reduced to a punchbag. |
43 | * HaremGenre: Four gorgeous girls and no one else you have to share them with. |
44 | * HighSchool: The game's setting appears to be Japanese high school. |
45 | * IdiotHair: K-T's signature cowlick is a clear indication of her strangeness. |
46 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Stacey never loses her wicked streak, but she deeply cares for her friends. |
47 | * JustFriends: Tifa x Yuki. The two are shown to flirt in each other's company but nothing more. |
48 | * LoveConfession: The last line of any route. |
49 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: While the entire story never ventures into the extraordinary, the game cartridge in Trick and Treat has questionably magical properties. |
50 | * NerdGlasses: K-T has huge thick-rimmed glasses that dominate her face. |
51 | * TheNicknamer: Stacey gives each other character [[InsultOfEndearment patronising, yet endearing nicknames.]] |
52 | * ObliviousToLove: Much to Tifa's frustration. The game's reviews even mention how the player character is especially dense. |
53 | * OlderThanTheyLook: They're all 18 years old. Even the diminutive K-T. |
54 | * OrWasItADream: [[spoiler:Momo the ghost's laugh]] can be heard without bitcrushing at the end of Trick or Treat, and her navbox temporarily switches from pixel-based to regular. |
55 | * ReferenceOverdosed: Quotes and references to both popular and obscure video games, anime, movies are abundant and not restricted to any one character. |
56 | * RoseHairedSweetie: No matter what happens, Tifa always remains cordial and sweet. She even has the correct hair and eye colour. |
57 | * ProductPlacement: Promotional material for the author's other works appears at the convention. |
58 | * SchoolClubsAreSeriousBusiness: The conflict for the opening chapter features inter-club politics. |
59 | * ShelteredAristocrat: Stacey has never tasted commoner food or taken public transport, and [[IvoryTower she's not about to let that change.]] |
60 | * ShoutOut: |
61 | ** Tifa's [[{{ShoutOut/PewDiePie}} epic gamer chair.]] |
62 | ** K-T's [[{{Characters/CoffinPrincessChaika}} "Shocking truth!".]] |
63 | ** K-T's [[{{Franchise/Gundam}} cardboard Gundam.]] |
64 | ** K-T [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate microwaving a banana.]] |
65 | * {{Sleepyhead}}: Adorable scene where you have to wake K-T with repeated button prompts. |
66 | * StudentCouncilPresident: Stacey, although she's eager to rid herself of the title. |
67 | * TechnicolorEyes: While everyone's eyes are especially colourful, Alex's purple eyes are practically glowing. |
68 | * ThisIsReality: When Tifa finds a spooky haunted gaming cartridge, they play it off as something that only happens in fiction, despite being fiction. |
69 | * TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: The game's 100+ incredibly diverse backgrounds in various lighting conditions would have cost a fortune if painted manually, so stock 3D assets are used to do the heavy lifting. |
