Description

"VirtuaCall S" is a unique entry in the Sega Saturn’s library, developed and published by the relatively obscure Fairytale studio in 1998 exclusively in Japan. As a niche simulation game, "VirtuaCall S" merges elements of dating simulation with interactive communication mechanics that were quite advanced for the era. In the game, players interact with various female characters via a virtual communication device, engaging in conversations and building relationships. The game features a mixture of animated sequences and static images, along with a branching narrative that changes based on the player's choices during dialogues, providing a sense of immersion and personal involvement in the unfolding story.

This game stands out for its use of the Sega Saturn’s hardware capabilities to handle detailed 2D sprites and animations, which was a notable achievement at the time. Although not a major commercial success, "VirtuaCall S" is remembered for its innovative approach to the dating sim genre, blending realistic interaction scenarios with typical Japanese visual novel aesthetics. The game’s influence is subtle yet significant in the evolution of interactive narrative and simulation games, particularly those focusing on relationship-building mechanics. As a collector's item, copies of "VirtuaCall S" are sought after due to their rarity and the cult status of Fairytale’s unique title amongst enthusiasts of Japanese video games and vintage gaming.
