Shira Oka is a Adventuring game available on the PC. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer Dating modes.

Shira Oka is a Adventuring game. Adventure games are enjoyed for two reasons: they provide enemy encounters that require tactics and strategy to conquor, and they create a fantasy world in which to explore and adventure.

Shira Oka can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Shira Oka can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Shira Oka can be played in a Dating mode. Dating videogames are essentially puzzles based around relationships, identity, love and sex. They cast the player as a lonely singleton looking for love, who then has to develop strategies to win the affections of different potential partners, lovers and mates.

Soulful Gamer review Sat, 15 Jan 2011

Shira Oka PC not only injects elements that keep the game fresh but it also breathes with innocent atmosphere and an obvious affection for Japan. With a dearth of role-playing statistics and dialogue paths it's a soulful dating game that I enjoyed immensely.

Not to be too self-indulgent but the setup for Shira Oka ensured that I was hooked right from the start. It begins with a twenty-something male reminiscing over his failed experiences at school, who by a stroke of angelic luck gets thrown back in time to right those wrongs.
