As Haito Kanda, you seek solace in alcohol after being fired from your job. This leads you to stumble upon Bunny Garden, where you start interacting and pursuing romance with the cast of bunny girl hostesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gameplay in Bunny Garden revolves around conversing with the girls over drinks while increasing your affinity with them. To be liked by the hostesses, you need to remember the contents of your conversations and answer their questions correctly. Ordering a character\u2019s favorite snacks or drinks will also raise your affinity. Apparently, as your relationship improves, the bunny girls will get drunk around you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club opens at weekends, and to be able to visit every week, you need to spend workdays earning money by doing odd jobs or gambling. Aside from conversations, you will also be able to play games such as hand sumo and Twister with the hostesses and enjoy a photo mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">PTA\uff08\u30d1\u30f3\u30c4\u30fb\u305f\u304f\u3055\u3093\u30fb\u3042\u308a\u304c\u3068\u3046\uff09\u30b7\u30b9\u30c6\u30e0 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mDoc5HaMqa\">pic.twitter.com\/mDoc5HaMqa<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30b7\u30fc\u30af\u30ec\u30c3\u30c8\u2122 (@secret_222) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/secret_222\/status\/1771774920822824969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation: <\/strong><em>A PTA (thank you for the abundance of panties) system.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But most notably, Bunny Garden features a so-called \u201cPTA system\u201d which is short for \u201c<strong>p<\/strong>antsu <strong>t<\/strong>akusan <strong>a<\/strong>rigato\u201d in Japanese and can be translated roughly to \u201cthank you for the abundance of panties.\u201d The PTA system refers to how you will be able to take peeks at the female cast\u2019s panties (which will differ depending on the day).
