Editing Eroge (section)

==Gameplay==

There is no set definition for the gameplay of ''eroge'', except that they all include explicit erotic or [[sexual content]] depending on the game. Like other pornographic media in Japan, erotic scenes feature [[Censorship in Japan#Pornographic censorship|censorship of genitalia]], only becoming uncensored if the game is licensed and released outside Japan, unless produced illegally by ''[[dōjin]]'' (usually with a construction kit like [[NScripter]] or [[RPG Maker]]). Additionally, some games may receive an "all-ages" version, such as a port to consoles or handheld devices where pornographic content is not allowed, which either remove or censor the sex scenes entirely.

''Eroge'' is most often a [[visual novel]] or [[dating sim]]. However, there are also many other gameplay genres represented within ''eroge'', such as [[role-playing games]], [[Mahjong video game|mahjong games]], or [[puzzle games]]. Some ''eroge'', such as those made by [[Illusion Soft]], are just simulations of sex, with no "conventional" gameplay included.
