"How To Raise A Happy Neet" is an interactive simulation game where players engage with Shizuku, a shy NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) girl, helping her find happiness and personal growth through routine, conversations, activities, and emotional support. To raise a happy NEET in the game, players should balance rest and activity, use food as comfort when mood is low, play mini-games to maintain interest, observe mood changes closely, invest in room customization to improve comfort, participate in special events, and prioritize empathy and genuine care over just strategy. Building trust slowly through supportive dialogue and avoiding confrontational approaches is key. The game features multiple endings based on emotional connection, ranging from friendship to romantic outcomes. Players are encouraged to save progress often to explore different choices and endings.
Key steps include:
- Check Shizuku's daily planner for balanced routine management.
- Promote gradual progress and celebrate small wins to build confidence.
- Explore all dialogue options for varied growth paths.
- Track mood changes via expressions and environment cues to adjust interactions.
- Customize her room to boost mood and unlock special events.
- Engage in mini-games and festivals to strengthen emotional bonds.
- Use the in-game journal to review past decisions and guide future actions.
- Prioritize empathy and emotional insight in choices rather than just efficiency.
The game is intended for mature audiences (18+), is available on Android and PC, and involves some adult-themed interactions alongside the emotional life- simulation aspects. It is appreciated for its relaxing, low-stress gameplay and depth of emotional storytelling.
