D.P.S. SG set 3

About
D.P.S. SG set 3 is the fourth in the D.P.S. series. It is an ADV game compilation mimicking a VR system. The gameplay consists out of picking options and nothing else. The game is available as freeware.

It saw releases on basically all the systems they ported to at the time, a re-release with D.P.S. All and 32-bit Windows port. It also saw a special release for the PC98note, a laptop version of the PC98.

There are very few differences between ports. The noticably weaker MSX2 drops the slight animations. However thanks to the MSX2's capability to interlace 2 pages it manages to keep up graphically this time around, albeit with large loading times. The windows port omits the system disk, but animations are there (though they'll probably run too fast).

Various releases were also compatible with the system disk of D.P.S. SG of the same version, allowing you to buy scenario disks only for a reduced price of ¥4500 by mail order.

Story
The scenario options differ here a bit, Rabbit ~P4P~ doesn't seem to have any settings for the character. Same goes for Graduation which instead has 2 different endings.

The basic setting outside of the software is a modern world similar to ours, but seemingly better VR. The Dream Program System itself is a VR system which activates when your dreaming.

Newlywed's Story follows the story of a newlywed couple on their first night. You can pick to play as either the groom (Kyoichi) or bride (Yuu). The story differs between the two options, but the theme is still newlyweds. Original CGs were done by Bloomer Hogero (ぶるまほげろー) and converted by K. The development team is はにぃめぇかぁ.

Graduation only has one setting, but makes up for that by having a split. It follows a high school student (Masaki) who just finished his graduation ceremony and is on his way to meet his classmate Sayako (nicknamed Princess). However events take a rather unexpected turn as a kaiju shows up. Original CGs were done by MIN-NARAKEN and converted by KAORI. The development team is the Girl Development Team.

Rabbit P4P only has one setting, but makes up for that by having a split. It follows the protagonist (Count Void) as he follows a bunny girl into a mysterious world. Try to win over the trust of the magical creatures which conveniently look like girls. Original CGs were done by Rusher Verak (ラッシャー・ヴェラク) and converted by Chibou and Purin. The development team is でこぼこさんチーム.

Walkthrough
Newlywed's story should allow you to exhaust dialogue options fine most of the time. The only times I failed were drinking too much as Kyoichi and enduring too much as Yuu.

The other two both opted for a split and are typically ADVish in how to get them. The one for Rabbit ~P4P~ is an extra scene, but the one in Graduation gives you a different backstory entirely.

Rabbit P4P: You need to get the medicine from Kira and hit the door 5 times. The first is required for an extra scene and is done by revisiting her and exhausting the options. The second gives you the chance to get it. During this extra scene, you need to tire someone out by picking either 鞭を取り上げる in the first set or 乳を揉んで油断したところを！！ in the 2nd. Keep doing that and you should be able to use the medicine from the 2nd set of options during the punishment. You can use it later for slightly altered dialogue, but it leads to the same scene. You can't actually fail this scenario

Graduation: This one requires you to pick certain options for a total of 9 times or 8 times for the other. The ones used for 9 route are 姫はどうして、自分の殻に閉じ込もろうとするんだ！, 姫！！もっと素直になってよ！！, 姫！！頼むから、俺に話して！ and 姫が話さなくては、何も始まらないんだ！ Pick other options to get the other end. Do note that you can fail here. She won't trust you if you tried to get away too many times (at least 13?), if you pick "I understand" twice instead of "I want to know" and in the 9 route you can apparently break up with her (I did not try).
