Heroine Dream (1996)

Heroine Dream is an idol simulation game in which the player takes a role of a producer whose goal is to help Shizuka Maiki enter the scene in style. But that doesn't happen over night, in fact, it requires many weeks of training. The heroine herself has many attributes that lack in quality and as her producer, you will have to balance her training (ballet, dancing, swimming etc.), but at the same time keep an eye on her stress level. The game features voice-acting, but without the ability to see subtitles, only the answers you can select during conversations with other characters. Depending on what kind of a star producer you turn out to be, the game may reach one of several different endings.

Storyline

A school makes a contest to know which one will be the best heroine. They send scouts all over the country and select 5 girls. The player controls one of those girls and have to select that girl's training each week to improve her stats and make her win the contest. During those weeks she will meet different character to interact with and can play different mini games in the town. The "heroine" is more sort of a pop idol, since after a few weeks of training the girls will have to go to auditions in TV, radios, magazines, etc and show if they got talent or not (singing, dancing, acting, etc.). The player can also take a walk around the town in places that will be unlocked during the weeks. Depending of the player choices the girl will continue to be a normal girl or become the heroine that the town wants.
