Eroge

Eroge are video games made in Japan that have stories for older players. Think of them like books or movies with parts that are just for grown-ups. Sometimes these games are all about the grown-up story, and sometimes it's just a little part of a bigger adventure. They are a unique type of game that started a long time ago!

These games first appeared way back in the 1980s. That's a long time ago, even before your parents might have been kids! Many game companies that make games you might know today actually started by making these kinds of games. It's like how some famous singers might have started by singing in school plays.

Eroge are special because they tell stories in a different way. Some games are made so that everyone can play them, but sometimes games have parts that are only for adults. Because of these adult parts, some game consoles have said 'no' to these games, like a teacher saying 'no running in the halls'.

Not all Eroge are the same! Some are made with the grown-up stories as the main part. Others have a fun adventure, and then there are a few scenes that are just for adults. Sometimes, companies take out the adult parts so that more people can play the game. It’s like taking out a scary part of a movie for younger kids.
