## What is Emulate Thrill?

◆◆Game Introduction◆◆
Will you reach for money, glory, or…?

Emulate Thrill is a BL game with fixed pairings - meaning you stick with your partner. You consume tickets to continue progressing in the story.

Setting:
A town of four districts...

This city is militaristic, with teams dividing up the four quarters: north, south, east, and west.

Hikage of the Vermilion Birds rounds up delinquents.
Tamao of the intelligence group, known as the Azure Dragons, specializes in information warfare. 

As the entire city is engulfed in a dire crisis, you'll discover everyone has different hopes, dreams, and motives. 

Will you reach for money, glory, or...?

◆◆Characters◆◆

Hikage - the charismatic head of the Vermilion Birds
He’s friendly, if a bit foul-mouthed. Hikage won’t be caught unprepared or act carelessly.
He prides himself on strategy and isn’t afraid to play dirty if he thinks it’s necessary.

Suo - the only intelligence officer in the Vermilion Birds
He absolutely despises Hikage. He’s a bit hot and cold, regularly bad-mouthing others and getting into fights...and so he’s known for causing trouble.

Niwa - Hikage’s adoring watchdog
He’s a member of the Vermilion Birds. He doesn't speak much about himself, and so he’s a bit of a mystery.
Just as intriguing, his one and only interest is Hikage...

Tamao - the Queen of the Azure Dragons
He fully understands the meaning of lead-by-example. This queen rules with an iron fist.

Haruomi - a mediator
Tamao’s childhood friend and an employee at the mediator agency, the Kirin.
He’s well-informed and capable, making him coveted by many other teams.

Munechika - a wicked gentleman serving the queen
This gentleman wears many hats, with his duties to Tamao ranging from acting as her secretary to a staff officer. 

Shirogane - the lovely proprietor of the mediator agency.
He’s the guild manager... and Haruomi’s boss.

Genbu - a soldier with a few vices
He’s in charge of issuing jobs at the introduction agency. 
He’s hard to read, with a bit of a showy, flippant personality. 

◆◆Game Playstyle◆◆
Emulate Thrill is a BL visual novel that requires you consume scenario tickets to progress through the storyline.
The game is free-to-play and you receive 5 free tickets per day.
Through the in-game choices, you can change how close you are with a love interest.

You can also enjoy special storylines!

### 5/5 — Please bring back your other games!

*2024-12-11*

I have been reading the games from this company for years and have always loved all of them. My favorite specifically being LoveNeverDies which was removed years ago. I miss all of the games you guys used to have so much.

### 1/5 — Loading then white screen

*2024-12-06*

Game isn’t working now. I wanted to try a route with a different character so I reinstalled it and it’s not working.

### 2/5 — Its not opening?

*2024-04-26*

I really want to play this game but it gives me white screen and I can’t enter the game :((

### 3/5 — App doesn’t work?..

*2023-12-15*

Not sure if it’s just me but when i try to launch the app, it shows me a white screen. I’m not sure if im the only one who’s experiencing this, but when i wait for a while for the white blank screen to go away, it doesn’t. Would’ve given it a 5 star if it would’ve had worked. Unfortunately, i was disappointed when i couldn’t launch the app because i was so thrilled to play this. ;(

### 1/5 — Who knows?

*2023-02-13*

After the initial “introduction” the game reloads back to the starting screen. No matter how many times I tried restarting the app,  nothing worked. Can’t actually play.

### 1/5 — Wont let me passed the tutorial

*2022-10-30*

I cant even play the game i played the tutorial and it took me back to the title screen and it just keeps taking me through the same process i deleted it and reinstalled it and nothing works

### 5/5 — Bro

*2022-08-25*

Y’all need to bring back Love Never Dies: Ikemen of the Marsh. It was such a good game and I’d love to play it again. Please bring it back.

### 3/5 — Can’t get pass the prologue

*2022-06-12, version 1.0.1*

I had this on my android phone and it worked fine,  I liked it quite a bit.   Now on my apple phone,  I can’t get pass the prologue nor can I do a transfer.

### 3/5 — Functions weird

*2020-11-21*

The game seems great and all but it’s really slow somethings don’t even show up and I would have to constantly open and close the app. Seems like ok sorry but the app functions a little weird.

### 3/5 — Depictions of cruelty

*2020-10-16*

I finished the tutorial and began the first episode of the dragons. I would like to warn that it starts out with rape and jume being kidnapped. I wish they would have included a warning before for those who may have a hard time with that content.

The art was really nice and I was actually excited for the story but really wish they would have a route where the player would be the seme.
