Big Pimpin'
Oddly enough, your father accepts, or rather, even ENCOURAGES this promiscuous behavior. In fact, when you go to bed at night without having kissed anyone that day your father cries to the famed "Lover's tree" :
"Whaaat!?!My son has kissed no one today?" (or something like that haha)
How strange that kissing random strangers is the basis of your self-worth in this game. Just like in real life. (kidding)
Unfortunately, kissing people in town proves to be quite the challenge. You have to provide them the materials needed for their every desire and whim. You put yourself through much stress and hassle and even danger to make them happy and want to make out with you (again! Just like in real life!)
And then, there are the "underground" residents you have to kiss if you want to become a true playa'
These pesky folks only come out at certain times of the day and you have only a minute or even less to try and kiss them. If you miss this window of oppurtunity, you have to wait for the next time ALL OVER AGAIN!!! This is one of the worst things about Chulip: It's a lot of waiting around. Eventually, you gain an alarm clock, allowing you to sleep until certain times so that you won't have to wait as much.
But then, there's the second major problem of Chulip: Asinine Repetition.
Each night going to bed your father says THE SAME DARN THING: "Ohh I'm so worried about my son's reputation! Who did he kiss?" then "Whaaat? No one??? oh well." or "OH! He kissed so and so today! Lovers' Tree???"
Then Lover's Tree comes on, does his little diddy- saying how great or mediocre you are.
EVERY.FRIGGIN.NIGHT.
So even if you get past the problem of waiting by setting an alarm, you STILL have to go through the whole bedtime desperat daddy routine.
There are many other places where you go through pointless repetition many times to do only a few things.(*cough* Funny Bone Factory! *cough*) It's incredibly annoying and knocked a ton of points of my score.
The other problem is the difficulty- this game would take a looooong time without the walkthrough provided with it. I know I'd never beat it. It's not too hard to do what's required but it's the finding out what to do that's difficult.
This game could've been so much more with just a few minor fixes. Oh well.
I'd reccommend to fans of pure Japanese weirdness.
