Main Character Simulator

Main Character Simulator is a comedic visual novel about Shinji, a generic protagonist with no character artwork who is forced to become the hero he has always dreamed of being. His friends Izumi and Kiyoko discover a mysterious pendant belonging to an angry group of space-pirate aliens, setting off an alien invasion alongside young love and exam stress. The story takes about 3–4 hours.

Characters

Izumi is an energetic, sporty girl who needs the study group she shares with you. Kiyoko is an amateur scientist who puts up with you regularly. Commander Erodani commands her own starship and has recently installed on-demand television; her assistant Mira puts up with a lot and is paid too little.

The description also introduces the main character as Naota, a boy whose suburban life is disturbed by the arrival of an alien woman, then questions whether the protagonist is instead Taro-kun.

Visual novel features

The game includes hand-drawn CG and background artwork, partial voice acting, and an original soundtrack inspired by future bass and lo-fi hip hop. It also has achievements, including one called “Greatness,” and lists Stacy and Gwinnifer among its features.
