Date Ariane Remastered is a complete remake of the popular Date Ariane with all new wide screen HD graphics, and for the first time ever to play as a male or a female!

Date Ariane itself was a Renpy port of the genre defining Ariane's Dating Simulator released online in HTML in 2004, and inspired hundreds of other HTML based dating sims with 3D rendered graphics.

You may play this game and think "This feels a lot like dating sim X", but chances are dating sim X is inspired by this game.

Version 2.0 has many changes both visually and audibly:

NEW! The default game resolution is 2560 x 1440.  This will be especially noticeable on a 3K or 4K monitor now that the graphics have been updated to Daz renders. The game will still work fine in 1080p

NEW! The player character avatars have been updated. Better looking avatars.

NEW! The beginning of the game has radically changed, and new introductory text added. Many things have been rearranged, especially the first part. 

NEW! All the music has been changed. Got the music from Tune Pocket. Added new music to the drive downtown and the museum tour.

NEW! Text by default has switched to standard Visual Novel format, where text appears at the bottom with a color coded name of who's talking.  But you can switch back to classic "comic" mode used in 1.0 to 1.5 versions.

NEW! I eliminated the help screen walkthroughs, I'm experimenting with emoji icons next to choices that are potentially bad. They are optional of course. Also an "Anxiety" mode loosely based on The Stanley Parable that acts as a game tutorial for the first part of the game, also optional.

NEW! I added some background music, and a new volume control to control it. It's another Visual Novel staple you can play or mute as you wish. I chose music that is either relaxing or fun to match the spirit of the game. All background music is looped.
