My Rental Girlfriend brings the Simulation genre to life, and throws up exciting challenges for gamers. Developed by Genius Studio Japan Inc., this Android game is best experienced on BlueStacks, the World’s #1 app player for PC and Mac users.
So, My Rental Girlfriend is one of those anime-style visual novels where you step into the shoes of a student who seems to have everything together on the outside, but secretly wishes for something more—a girlfriend, basically. The funny twist is that instead of trying to ask someone out and risking the nerve-wracking rejection, you end up using a rental girlfriend service after seeing an ad (literally falls into your lap, in story fashion). Things start off as pretend, just a way to feel a bit less alone and maybe show your friends you’re not left out, but the story gets complicated, fast. You don’t end up renting just one girlfriend—you’re quickly caught in a love triangle (actually, a love-square?) with three really different girls, and the choices you make actually change who you get close to.
The main draw of the game is definitely the cast. There’s Celina, who’s this sweet, strong type dealing with her own stuff and not really meant for this line of work; Tessa, the shy, classic childhood friend trying to be braver; and Zoe, who’s confident and knows exactly what she wants. Each character feels fleshed out—not just cliché personalities. There are moments where conversations feel real, even if they’re still in that upbeat anime world. Decisions in dialogue actually matter for once, so you can shape how relationships grow.
Playing on PC with BlueStacks is surprisingly smooth, especially compared to just swiping through on a phone. The art pops, and clicking through scenes feels snappy. It’s not just about romance, either; there’s this undercurrent of the girls dealing with real issues and growing, which keeps things interesting between the typical dating sim moments. The fun comes from choosing how to react, seeing what the girls do next, and, sure, just getting wrapped up in some light-hearted drama without any real-life awkwardness. If you’re into interactive stories or character-driven games with a lot of choices, this one fits pretty nicely.
