I have a hard time considering games in this genre as “real” insofar as interactivity and the ability to control characters is, in my mind, what makes a video game a video game. I know the simplicity is by design, so partially, this is about personal preference. The thrill!įor me, the gameplay itself was suuuuuper boring (“no tea, no shade, no pink lemonade”).

I blame this largely on my own ignorance, as it was only after researching that I realized the game is billed as a “bara visual novel.” For other noobs like me, visual novel games are interactive stories that focus on plot and character development rather than a lot of actionable gameplay, while bara is a genre of gay art that emphasizes masculinity as a core component and typically features characters with varying degrees of muscle and body hair.
Maybe the erotic part would be some sensual ice licking, earning smooches for good customer service…I don’t know – I’m an innocent old woman!Īs it turns out though, aside from the presence of popsicles, everything else I thought Freezer Pops would deliver was incredibly, delightfully wrong. I imagined gameplay would involve being a shirtless beefcake, selling as many tasty treats to sweaty beachgoers as possible, while putting my memory and speed to the test. When I first heard about Freezer Pops, I thought that I might be embarking on a half ‘Diner Dash at the beach’ half ‘Animal Crossing but gayer’-type journey.
