Rance

Rance (ランス, Ransu) is a series of Japan-exclusive eroge role-playing video games by Alice Soft featuring the titular character, Rance. Starting in 1989, the series has lasted for 26 years, making it one of the longest running adult themed games ever. Among them, Rance series games up to Kichikuou Rance have since been officially permitted by AliceSoft for free public distribution.

Rance

Rance: Hikari o Motomete (Rance -光をもとめて-, "Rance: Quest for Hikari") was Alice Soft's debut title under its present name (however, there have been eroge made by the company preceding this title under the company name "Champion Soft" ). and was first released in July 1989 for the MSX. It was also later released in 1990 for Windows 3.x. An English unofficial translation patch for Rance: Hikari o Motomete was released on January 21, 2011. In this game, Rance, with his magician slave Sill Plain, are searching for Hikari, the missing daughter of a noble family who was kidnapped from her school.

Hikari ("Light"), the red-haired girl seen in an opening clip, has been kidnapped. Rance gets a mission from his boss to investigate the case. Rance is something like a detective in this story, turning the game somewhat into a detective/exploration game, unlike the RPG or strategy gameplay found in later games. Rance is not alone in his job. He is aided by 16-year-old Sill, who is Rance's slave. She was from a wealthy family, but was kidnapped by a bandit and sold in an auction, where Rance bought her.

The Rance is a river of northwestern France. It flows into the English Channel between Dinard and Saint-Malo.

The river is linked to the Vilaine by means of the Canal d'Ille-et-Rance.

Hydrology and water quality

Tributaries of the Rance include:

This river has moderate turbidity and its brownish water is somewhat low in velocity due to the slight gradient of the watercourse; pH levels have been measured at 8.13 within the city of Dinan and electrical conductivity of the waters have tested at 33 micro-siemens per centimetre. At this reference location, summer flows are typically in the range of 500 cubic feet per second (14 m³/s).
