Borderline: Is ‘Summer Lesson’ A “Romance Game”?

,

Set for release on PSVR in Japan on October 13th, Ladies but primarily seedy Gentlemen – I give you… Virtual Grooming Simulator 2016, oh, wait, correction – Summer Lesson: Hikari Miyamoto Seven Days Room.
 
The reason for my confusion is, well, every single element of the game. The title is exclusive to PlayStation VR – oh dear it seems that Oculus & Vive owning Ephebophiles will have to wait for another misguided studio to release something equally sinister. Surprisingly this title comes from a reputable game development house – Bandai Namco. The game places you in the role of a “tutor”, sitting alone with an ambiguously aged school girl sporting a low cut top, short skirt and – according to the trailer – a flirty and over-familiar nature. Your job as “tutor” is to teach and eventually “bond” with the young girl. So, a grooming simulator, right?
 
Further down the line, Sony have stated that you will be finding yourself in other “intriguing scenarios”, one can only imagine. It certainly sounds like an opportunity for DLC with a price inversely proportional to the morality of the perverts queuing up to buy it.
 
Quick reality check, are you booing and hissing or agreeing with me at this point? The reason I ask is that I appear to be a lone voice of reason in a sea of people who are overtly enthusiastic to describe their positive feelings about this idea, see just a few comments trawled from the interwebs below:

“Does PSVR Summer Lesson require both hands on the controller?” – ColdOne666
“… Made Me Feel Like a Creep, and That’s a Good Thing” – Ben Lang
“Waifu simulators will definitely be a thing one way or another.” – Ace
“Is Summer Lessons a romance game?” – Cpt_Steam
