So from Cave, yes, Cave, the company known for good shooting games comes this; localized by Natsume. As you can tell; it threatens you to be attacked by sparkles and flowers, at first, but that doesn't stop it from being fun.
This game, and it's sister game in Japan (Kuru Kuru Princess, published as Imagine: Figure Skater here in the US), both stand out with the cute art and fun stylus gameplay. It's a simple yet addicting game.
Basically, you have thirty days to woo a prince before the big ball, and you must not only win his heart but also master various dance routines that are controlled by strokes of the stylus. (You can also bring up a screen that shows the actual dance steps, if you care to try imitating them yourself in real life.) The stylus play is indeed simple, but oddly addicting and fun. So yes; this is a dating sim for girls, but with some added features.
While this game is aimed at the pre-teen female audience; you'd be surprised at it's reception; it was Natsume's big

While the game is said to offer various modes of game play, 'story mode' is the only one really worth playing. Sadly, if you're over the age of 13 or are known to breeze through games, this will be no exception. Practicing and learning new dances quantify the bulk of the game with some random dialogue between the characters.
A notable treat for gamers, regardless of age, is how the story-line relies highly on your interaction with other characters. I myself was not able to predict the results of my actions and at times it was quite amusing and may get you to play the game numerous times in hopes of tampering with the plot.

What "Princess Debut" lacks in narrative substance it pretty much makes up for in sheer eye-squeezing cuteness, and in the end that was all I was really after when I bought it, though the kawaii factor may not be enough to justify this skim game's price where most gamers above its target age demographic are concerned. (I'll be honest, it was that damn cute cover that lured me in. Call it an inspired Out-Of-Character purchase.) Fortunately, the actual non-story related gameplay, although slim pickin's, really isn't half bad.
What you have in your hands here is basically a run-of-the-mill dating sim (albeit a fairly 'lite' example--scratch that, very lite) built around a framework of power-leveling through various stylus tracing exercises, or "dances". The entire package is pretty obviously geared toward young girls (as if the box artwork and weren't a clue), and by young I mean little, as the dating sim aspects of "Princess Debut" make it pretty easy avoid floundering, and, honestly, the
