Moekan

Moekan is an erotic romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Takahiro Kanzaki. Much of its gameplay is spent reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's narrative and dialogue. The text is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Takahiro is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. Moekan follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.

Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. Some decisions can lead the game to end prematurely and offer an alternative ending to the plot. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. Throughout gameplay, there are scenes depicting Moekan and a given heroine having sex.

Moekan is primarily set in a secluded place named Moekko Island, which is where android combat maids manufactured by AC Company are trained. The protagonist and owner of the island Takahiro Kanzaki lives in a mansion estate on the island and his job is to train these maids. One day, an early prototype robot called Rinia who has the appearance of a young girl is sent to the island for training. She does her best to impress Takahiro, who is convinced she will only cause trouble. However, her efforts and attitude tend to make an impact on those around her.
