Date a Mink, a hentai visual novel developed by FurrGroup. Released March 13, 2017. Download on Nutaku for $5.00. No voice acting. Uncensored genitals. Available for Windows, Mac, and Android devices.
Eris the mink is one of the cutest girls you’ve ever known! Every day she comes to your coffee shop to make small talk, and today you finally found the courage to ask her out! The only question is, will she like you?
STORY
The writing in this game is super casual. When it starts you get a warning “This game contains jazz”. These quirky little moments are good for a chuckle, and give the game a relaxing and enjoyable vibe. Eris has a personality that matches the writing, with an honest and down to earth persona that’s easy to love. She’s pure waifu material.
The crux of the game is that Eris refuses to let herself be vulnerable. Eris says “I used to believe in true love! But not anymore! That’s childish”. Depending on how you react, she’ll either continue dating you or ghost you entirely. Saying “I love you” is not what she wants to hear. She wants to hear, “I’m here for you”.
There are four endings in total. Two involve you getting dumped. One is the happy ending. The final ending involves getting hit by a car and dying. The female lead from FurrGroup’s later title “Ghost Love” appears here to fuck your character.
GAMEPLAY
Date a Mink is a visual novel created in the Renpy engine. There are eight choices in total. I recommend saving your game into multiple slots in order to try and find all the endings. The game can be completed in about an hour.
GRAPHICS
There are five scenes in total, conveyed via 10 unique CG images. Each artwork is unique to this developer and personalized for the scenario. Slight variations are not counted as new scenes, all scenes contain completely unique art.
The background art and character stills are completely unique as well. From the coffee shop to Eris’ home, each area is distinct from the last. As an indie title there are some flaws like the movie theatre lacking any detail and the bathroom reverse-cowgirl scene having strangely curved walls. But as a whole, the art in this game is damn good!
Eris is waifu, end of story! Her tits are a good size, her ass perfectly curves down her back, and her animal ears move to reflect her mood and state of mind. Like when they point upward as she approaches orgasm or sag downward as she regrets dating you. Every aspect of her character design is artfully managed to work alongside the dialogue perfectly.
VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)
Date a Mink has no voice acting or sound effects. Even when you’re hit by the car.
MUSIC
There are 8 unique tracks in total. While the main menu has no background music, the game itself actually has a wonderful variety of tracks. The techno beat that plays as you chase down the purse snatcher perfectly conveys a feeling of running forward in the rain without regard for your surroundings. Its all the more perfect when you’re hit by the car and the music transitions to digitally synthesized flute and rain drops, wonderfully conveying your journey to the afterlife. By the time you realize you’re in a bad ending, the beat drops, and the heavy pounding rhythm with a foreboding background melody makes your heart skip a beat. If this wasn’t a porn game, I would have gotten a fucking heart attack! All the tracks are wonderful, but that was the most memorable moment.
HENTAI
Date a Mink features 5 scenes in total. The scenes are as follows. Ghost sex, bathroom breakup sex, public balcony sex, shower sex, and morning lovers’ sex. Sex positions range from cowgirl to a POV blowjob, but there is no ass-focus. The camera always focuses on Eris’ face, since your romance with her is the main point of the story. In fact, the face of the protagonist is never shown, though Eris claims you’re cute.
My favorite scene was the public balcony sex. You bend her over and fuck her under the stars! Her tits sway, her mouth open in pleasure, her body totally nude and exposed to the night air. Paired with sexy dialogue about how much she loves your dick, this scene was truly the greatest in the entire game.
CONCLUDING WORDS
Date a Mink is a charming little cartoon porn game available on three operating systems. The art is beautiful, the main waifu is an angel, and the music is downright perfection. I’d play another game about Eris in a heartbeat! Download Date a Mink.
