Let’s Play Namco High [INC]

title

Note from 2023:

I tried to get as much of this game as possible logged before it went down but as you can see I didn’t get very far. I hope you enjoy what is here nonetheless but I wish I could have saved more of it.

 


Greetings, friends! And welcome to another Let’s Play composed by yours truly, playerprophet.

Today I’ll be archiving Namco High while it’s still available. The game was created by ShiftyLook, a group dedicated to revitalizing old Namco franchises not in use, so you can see with that what sort of dating sim Namco High is going to be. At this time Namco High is an integrated browser game, and may not be available anywhere when its servers go offline at the end of June.

While I hope someone will be involved in taking the game into a distributable format, I’m going to do what I can to keep it alive, by doing what I can do. Archiving the work into an LP!

I’m pretty fond of dating sims as a medium especially since Hatoful Boyfriend, so I’m excited to explore Namco High. This, however, will be my first experience with the game as I go! I had intended to play it sooner but sometimes things have a way of not-happening and this was one of those times. But I’m not going to let it go without giving it a try! So here goes!
