The Ouran High School Host Club Visual Novel for Playstation 2 and Nintendo DS were developed and published by Idea Factory. Both games borrow strong elements from the dating sim genre, though classified as a "romantic adventure" game. They are currently only available in Japanese.
Haruhi is the only playable character. There are two goals in the game. The first goal is to entertain guests to repay Haruhi's debt. Twice per day in host mode, "Haruhi" has to choose one of six options to best entertain a particular guest: the appropiate time to serve refreshments, talk about "himself," ask about the guest, find a conversation topic, or say nothing. A request quota must be met by the end of the game. If the guest is impressed, they are more likely to request Haruhi again.
The second goal is to charm the other hosts. There are many possible game endings, depending on which boy the player pursues and how much each host grows to like Haruhi. Each host's attraction to Haruhi is directly related to in-game choices. At the end of the day, two charts illustrate how much profit Haruhi has made and how much each host likes her.
