What is this?

The second Jeistar game! Still Rogue, but with dating! You just need your mouse.

So you pick choices then get different endings?

Yes! 32 Endings. It's a dating Sim so the endings range from a happy marriage to heartbreakingly humiliating.

Who in their right mind would want to date a girl like Mina?

A lot more than they'd like to admit.

How is this different from other dating sims?

The writing is likely 100% better and more realistic. The music is always better than it needs to be. The solo dev's heart has been in a lot of places...This is one of those games made late night.

This is a dating sim

This game showcases the mind of Mina, a troubled landmine girl who is desperate to find love. She fears loneliness, yet detests most of society as she always felt alone in her heart. Friends and relationships were either conditional, rocky, or troubled with bad-timing or conflicting desires. You're a nameless player who asked her out. She's giving you 5 dates to win her heart.

Images and Words are mostly what you will experience, but there is a nice signature Jeistar soundtrack accompanying it. Mina is also voiced by Luxmain, and each ending of the 32 endings have their own unique outcome. It's a dialogue heavy game for those who like a quick, good read. The overall structure is a mixture of rogue and chance. There are actually 32 dates total, but each playthrough gives you 5. A lot of replay value. You can take it fast or slow. No really. You wanna speedrun a playthrough under 2 minutes by rapidly clicking away? Be my guest. There are 64 achievements based on endings.

Mina has lots of outfits, reactions, and things to say! Just like a real girl! AND if you screw up, she will hurt you. Unlike other dating sims where you can hurt or manipulate the girl, THIS TIME, THE GIRL CAN HURT YOU!

She doesn't want drama, yet creates it. She wants loyalty, yet teases you. She adores commitment, yet vividly remembers past lovers. She embodies a lot of ourselves when we feel anxious, lost, or wanting to be a child again. Where loves feels magical and can heal anything. Whether it be our hearts or past trauma. Basically, she's a character with a lot of lore and Lore Drops! And you need to do is listen and pick the appropriate answers to boost your stats with her. Will she change? Probably, but it depends on how you are with her.

She's a very interesting character, and even if you hate her, you want to know what she says next.

Landmine Princess is fully aware of actual dating vs Dating Sims. There are stats up on your screen that tells you how you're doing. As each date progresses, those stats change. But you're not going to care about the stats, because your eyes need to be on Mina.

Every date with Mina is a series of discussions in between date activities. At the end of each activity, Mina asks you a question. They can be dumb. They can be relationship-defining. They will change your stats.

You don't have to worry about inventory. Gifts come and go. You don't have to check logs. You just have to live in the moment and deal with serious questions that defy how you see yourself, Mina, and the future. This is is a dating sim that cuts through the nerd BS and gives you serious questions you'll likely run into in a real dating scenario.

This is a game about dating in the 21st century...sorta.

Actually no.

I want to say it's about love.

But I'm a solo developer, and I just live a different life. And I probably see love differently.

I always saw love as this childlike wonder thing that washes everything away. But the real world doesn't work like that.

But then there is that feeling that maybe love like that is real when you meet someone you like. But I guess if you're pessimistic, cynical, or have a massive hate-boner for spirituality, you'd simply interpret it as a change of behavior and some chemical reactions in the brain based on the context of our childhood, past experiences, etc.

I'll be real with you. I've been seeing a therapist. And I just became so hyper aware of these things I end up doing most of the work for my therapist. I don't know how to explain it.

But when I make games, I feel like I'm doing something right. And I do think of a lot of things whether I am writing Mina, taking pictures of her, or making melodies on my guitar.

So believe me when I say.

All of this comes from the heart.

I love you all.

PS: As I'll update the game throughout its lifetime. Reach out to me in discord if you have any concerns, etc.
