With a name like Pantsu Hunter: Back to the 90s, you’d expect this Sometimes You-published PlayStation 4 and PS Vita visual novel to be about finding ways to sniff your big sister’s briefs. Instead, the company claims that it’s “not an 18-plus game at all, so don’t expect any nudity or sex scenes here”. While it’s recommended for adults, the $12.99 title is apparently all about old-fashioned romance. It's due out on 28th August.
“Share a heart-to-heart talk, watch a movie together, take a bath, remove a computer virus, help a girl in a tough spot and – if you’re lucky – find the love of your life using the colour and pattern of her panties,” the blurb expl—wait, we thought this was supposed to be romantic?!
“[Protagonist] Kenji has learned how to identify a girl’s personality by her underwear and he’ll meet four girls on his way: a playful sweetheart, a pretty tomboy, a shy introvert, and an icy beauty,” the summary continues. “Can he eventually find his true love?”
The title takes elements of old-school point-and-click adventures, but it’s the release’s classic anime style that will likely capture your attention. “Our game is supposed to give you this wonderful feeling of pure and undisturbed romance and to dip you into this beautiful nostalgic era,” the press release concludes. Plus, there are panties. Lots and lots of crispy panties.

Right....Just what the vita needed
"identify a girl’s personality by her underwear [...] wonderful feeling of pure and undisturbed romance"... Did I read that right?
@Rhaoulos You did!
Clearly the author of this article isn't married. I mean, everyone knows the successful way to find true love with anyone is via their underwear. If I hadn't gone through her underwear drawer when she was out, I would never have known that my wife was going to be the one for me. Or that she had a guard dog.
But does it come with a Smell-O-Vision peripheral?

Well, considering the obsession with panties here in Japan... From the more well-known examples of "soiled" panties being sold in vending machines (entirely true BTW) to girls avoiding living by themselves in 1st floor apartments out of fear of having their panties stolen (happened to my wife - before we met I might add), the panty fetish in Japan is both odd and disturbing.
Being a British geezer, I prefer the word knickers.
The art-style is actually quite attractive, but I'm not spending money on a game with "pantsu" in the title.
@get2sammyb "you’d expect this Sometimes You-published PlayStation 4 and PS Vita visual novel to be about finding ways to sniff your big sister’s briefs"
That's... an extremely specific expectation, Sammy. Have something to share with the class?
@hi_drnick I'm guessing the talents behind this are Western weebs instead of Japanese people.
This looks like my kind of game
Well then. While the pure romance and art style looks interesting, the panty obsessions contradicts the aforementioned interesting aspect. I’m not sure what to think.
@Ralizah yeah, I have no idea what a weeb is but I'm sure whoever made the game just has panties on the brain.
Edit: a quick google search has educated me (though honestly I would have preferred not to have known). What a funny world this is.
