Joyful Days is an adult dating sim from Zel Dev, built in Ren'Py with 3D-rendered visuals. It places you in Yorobi, a cheerful school setting where you observe lives from a distance while guiding fate. You play a male lead who can date students, their mothers, and coworkers. The story mixes humor with relationship choices, rather than relying on adult scenes alone.
The current build is v0.5.2, released on April 20, 2026, and development continues. It supports Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, is written in English, and is uncensored. The latest changelog reports code optimization, a new main menu image, about 14.6k words and 1,127 renders, plus two custom animations. It also adds ten character events, a first branching event based on player choices, music adjustments, a revised event tracker, and a fix for affection gain.
Developer's description
This isn't your story, this is their's. You are just viewing it from afar while you guide the ribbon of fate.
If you are only here for H, prepare to be disappointed. I use that to compliment the story.
"Do you ever miss the old days when life was simple? When you never have to worry about such things life throws at you today? Why not step into the shoes of someone who already has a life like that. In a world where there is joy and laughter with nothing
Everythingwrong
ever goes wrong. Date your students, their mothers, and your co workers in this wonderful world that is Yorobi."

Currently (version 0.61) not really worth it. No sex scenes except minor teasing. It is not even a game, you literally have no choice in any situation. Not even minor ones. You just read the text. The story so far…

Good game with a solid start. KK work is good and the writing is great. Some parts read a bit weird but still make sense. Game with actual plot beyond the porn. Character designs are good, with the twins actually…
