is a series of puzzle video games created and developed by Zoo Corporation. They are mostly based on various different tabletop games and feature heavy fanservice.
The first game, Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle, was released worldwide on the Steam platform for PCs on January 22, 2015. It is an authentic 4-player mahjong game against AI and there are a total of 23 "kawaii" characters to choose from, all fully voiced.[1] [2] On June 23, 2015, a second installment called Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle: School Girls Edition was released. It is the same game but with changed characters who all wear school uniforms.[3] Zoo also released a Bundle Pack combining both of these into one release.[4] Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire, released on August 25, 2015, is the first explicit game in the series. This game is based on the real-life board game of mahjong solitaire, and involves the character girls stripping as the player succeeds in the game.[5] Poker Pretty Girls Battle: Texas Hold'em is set on a tropical resort and features a total of 16 girls. The game uses the rules of Texas hold'em.[6] Delicious! Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire was released in 2016. The layout of the mountain of tiles is double that of the previous game. There are seven characters with one unlocked after completing.[7] This was the first Pretty Girls game ported to consoles, in 2021, following a partnership between Zoo and Hong Kong-based publisher Eastasiasoft, and many more have been ported over and released on consoles since 2021.[8] [9]
Pretty Girls Panic! is a Qix-like game where the player draws a line across the screen to unveil a picture of a girl in the background. In 2021, an improved version subtitled PLUS was released. The game's name is an ode to the 1990s Gals Panic games.[10] Pretty Girls Panic! has also been released on the Play Store for Android, published by Sticky Rice Games.[11]
The Pretty Girls Game Collection series are compilation releases each containing four Pretty Girls titles in one package, physically released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 and distributed by Eastasiasoft and Funbox Media. The Switch versions contain nudity that is otherwise censored on the PlayStation 4 and the digital release versions.[12] The first collection includes: Pretty Girls Panic, Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire, Delicious!
