Romance, Comedy, Mystery, Dating sim · by Pantsu Interactive · published by OppaiMan Studios · 2022
An amnesiac freshman starts over at Minerva Bay College while trying to find out what happened to his missing father, and meets a lot of women along the way.
Who it's for: Adults who want a high-production 3D college romance with lots of explicit content, voice acting and many translations, sold season by season.
The story (spoiler-free)
You are a young man who was looking into his father's disappearance when an accident wiped part of your memory. With a clean slate, you move to a new town and start college at Minerva Bay, where a conspiracy connected to your past slowly comes back into view.
Day to day, FreshWomen is a comedy-heavy dating game: you meet a large cast of love interests, each with her own tastes, and can focus on one or try to keep several happy at once. Season 3 shifts the setting to a mansion you can upgrade through missions and fill with parties. Production values are high, with thousands of renders, many animations and English and Brazilian Portuguese voice acting.
It is sold in seasons. Season 1 covers Episodes 1-5; Seasons 2 and 3 are separate purchases that continue the story, and more seasons are planned, so the mystery is not resolved yet.
