Kodoani.com – Bunny Girls are extremely popular in Japan and have a day dedicated to their fans. Game Bunny Garden was just released on April 18.
The game is a dating simulation version of Hostess Club that has received much praise from the public for the bold and provocative style of the Bunny girls in the game. Soon the game became extremely popular among the otaku audience.
Game Bunny Garden leads the list of best-selling games on Steam in Japan and ranks second on the list of best-selling games on Nintendo Store.
Bunny Garden is an adventure and dating simulation game set in a themed club of the same name. You play as Haito Kanda, an unemployed man who starts joining the club after being fired.
Bunny Garden's gameplay revolves around strengthening your relationship with the bunnies through conversations, games, puzzles, and purchasing drinks and snacks. Clubs are open on weekends, and to be able to afford expensive visits, you need to spend weekdays earning money doing odd jobs or gambling.
Game Bunny Garden caused a stir with a system called “PTA,” which stands for “pantsu takusan arigato” or “thanks for so many panties.” This system allows players to sneak a peek at bunny girls' underwear, which changes depending on the day.
When the game was released, players discovered a correlation between seeing underwear and the price of the drinks you ordered at the club. As seen in the video above, the most expensive drinks are on the lower shelf, which means Bunny Girl has to bend down more to get them, thus exposing her panties. Such a mechanism has contributed to making the Bunny Garden game more attractive.
On the other hand, the game Bunny Garden also shows how club bills can get very expensive, the game allows you to borrow money and gamble. Players are reporting that they have lost track of their spending.
As I was playing Bunny Garden, my sense of money gradually started to get weird, and when I was taken on a fishing boat for not paying my debts, I thought to myself, “Why! I only owe 140,000 yen! I could have had a little more fun even if I borrowed 8 million yen the other day!” “The travel flag is up!'' It's no good if you start babbling at the screen. pic.twitter.com/VgKSc5h6KY

They are millions of dollars in debt and trying to win back that money through games. Furthermore, the consequence of being in debt was that they were enslaved on a fishing boat illustrated in this way:
