Lose Weight, Tubby: The Video Game
Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo!! is an otome game originally released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2. The main character, Hitomi Sakuragawa (default, changeable in-game), was once a cute, beautiful girl, winning beauty contests in childhood. However, after losing to the temptation of junk food received from fans, she has steadily gained weight… until she reaches 100 kg in her second year of high school. At the beginning of the school year, the main character and her brother move into her father’s mansion-like dorm. Surprise awaits as she discovers that the school’s most popular guys are also moving in. Their impressions on her shock her into starting a diet.
Does this game have weight-loss-based gameplay? You bet it does.
Dieting
Dieting is a half-day option on normal days and accumulates the most stress. The player can lose weight through exercises, by using equipment, or consuming slimming products. Each activity is given a star value and the player can only use up to certain values on different days. Three stars can be used on normal days and the full five stars on Sundays or holidays. Dieting can also be done at the sports center where if you by a ticket for acrobatics or swimming you may go on holidays and Sundays; on regular days the sport center provides a treadmill rent for 700 yen.
Well I suppose it’s a relatively novel concept.
