WeakKeep: Found contemporary coverage of the game in Russian here. [1] There also seems to be a non-zero amount of coverage regarding this game's remaster, such as here (Brazilian), [2], here, [3] and a rather girthy review here. [4], which could probably be conglomerated into this article (that doesn't seem to have been updated at all to reflect this remaster's release). While it's no excuse if these articles don't win you over, I'd also like to mention that this is a relatively obscure 20 year old Japanese game with pornographic content, so finding contemporary sources regarding the game's original release, while possible, will likely require more effort than a casual skim on Google and Archive.org. FlotillaFlotsam ( talk) 12:16, 13 September 2023 (UTC)- Extra comment: It seems that a subsidiary of Akella, a Russian games publisher, officially published Heart de Roommate in Russia in the mid-2000s, complete with an English-to-Russian TL. (Russian) [5] This would be another avenue to seek out coverage of this game. FlotillaFlotsam ( talk) 15:50, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Comment: I've added three review citations to the article; one is from the Russian gaming magazine Strana Igr, one is from the J-List blog (appears to only be a blog in name; the website has multiple writers and editorial oversight), and one is from HonestGamers' Jason Venter (whose contributions to HonestGamers are generally recognized as reliable, see [6]). I also added information about the remaster, along with a reference from the Brazilian digital magazine GameBlast to substantiate it. This is far from perfect, but I believe it should be enough to meet WP:GNG, and I feel much better about voting Keep. As I found these with only an hour or two of scrounging around the internet, I'm confident I could find more domestic coverage of this game as well.
