Game's Popularity

[Himerin]

How this game became popular and have like 2000+ concurrent players, compared to other previous qureate titles? I've seen a lot of jp ppl play this on Twitch. From the looks of it, its just a standard ecchi dating sim game.

It's a spiritual successor to Dream Club, an old and seemingly popular cabaret club dating sim in Japan, hence the buzz even on announcement 3 months ago.

Then it launched and got Twitter/VTuber influence, it helps that it can be clipped for emergent funny moments through gameplay (these posts like 5 days within launch have 1+ million views each) compared to their other games being mostly (point and click) visual novels and a few ecchi CGs at most.

There's too many VTuber streams since launch to list, but their audiences would be coomer adjacent and word of mouth is good advertising.

If you were to check the Top posts on #バニーガーデン now, it's art of the girls that peaks up to 31k likes, or 49k from the official artist, so the designs/personalities also probably won them over?
