Dōkyūsei (同級生, lit. classmates) is an adult dating sim video game. It is the first game in the Dōkyūsei series of adult-themed dating sims by ELF Corporation. It was released in 1992.

OVA

There was an OVA series made from Dōkyūsei, which was originally a 45-minute one-shot, but the original release was expanded into two half-hour episodes, with two more episodes added, for a total four. The first two episodes were released as End of Summer, and episodes three and four were released as End of Summer 2 in the North American market by SoftCel Pictures, an imprint of ADV Films. A two-episode sequel, titled Dōkyūsei Climax Files, was also released.

End of Summer is about a boy who seeks after a redheaded girl named Mai and along the way runs into difficulties (and trysts) with several other girls, namely, Kurumi, Miho, Misa, and Satomi. It was renowned for its romantic attributes[1] and quality of animation.[2] The depth of character development has been reviewed as being above average, although the format forced on it by OVA requires some compromises with realism.[3] The film has some classical music.

Game system

The gameplay in Dōkyūsei revolves around wandering through different locations in a town, conversing with whatever character you happen to meet. To finish with a girl, the main challenge is to learn the times of day when the girl will be in a location.
