I just started playing Code: Realize and so far I'm really enjoying it. It seems like it's more story driven compared to the other games I've played, I'm at chapter 6 and there haven't been any romantic scenes so far. I don't mind it though, the story is really intruiging.
I really like the heroine. I love how she actually does things and isn't just a pretty damsel, kinda makes me wish I could romance her.

I only played Mystic Messenger but it sucked me in and I got obsessed. I fell in real life love with Jaehee and 707, lol. I liked that it was pretty immersive with the whole smartphone app concept, and the characters were fun and didn't feel too contrived.

Ever since most otome switched to the vita, I've been in a drought. I'm salty that I have to play what games are left over for the PC because they're usually vapid with no story.
I will say that PilVamp did well with Mashou Megane. That was so crazy and twisted, just how I like my otoge.

i've been looking for good PC otomes that still have the style of winning over different guys until you choose one. I'm not a big fan of this current trend of picking a specific guy's route from the start.

Jaehee's definitely one of my favorites. In the Christmas DLC,
I was really happy that they confirmed that her and the MC's relationship is indeed romantic. So happy Cheritz actually went there instead of keeping their relationship as just gals being pals. Anonymous 209

I've started playing some otome games for iPhone, and they are generally pretty good! I just finished Ghost (Office Love) and it had me bawling, and I'm really not one to cry so yeah..it was good.
I studied Japanese for 5 years, but my kanji sucks so I only play English language games, but I'd be open to a Japanese one if it's possible to select the kanji and then define using the iOS dictionary.
>>I'm not sure if anyone has any Japanese language iOS suggestions, but I'll keep my eye on this thread nonetheless.

>>148Damn, this looks very interesting.
Don't own a vita and don't speak moon so i'm in a perpetual drought for good otoge, sadly.
Does it have an eng translation patch somewhere or is it japanese only?
Can't seem to find one.
Anonymous 219
>>218Japanese only but I don't speak it well at all and it's easy to understand what's going on just by bits and pieces of words. If you're really having trouble I think there should be a few reviews out there who kind of explain the gist of the story as they review it. Just dl it on anime-sharing.com in the otome corner. That's pretty much where everyone gets their otome/otoge and you'll have a field day there.
Anonymous 239
>>180That makes me so happy! She was my favorite.
A part of me wishes I had continued Mystic Messenger, but then I remember my obsessive completionist attitude toward games. It's a real problem since I just want to have fun, but will pause to look up the best choice or try to answer every text in time. I'll stress out if I don't.
It's a hard habit to break, but I'm working on it.

Does anyone here own ozmafia!!?
I just downloaded it and the resolution in full screen (and to a smaller degree, windowed, if not let as it is on startup) is so bad it reminds me of shitty flash games from 2005.
I'm afraid to catch spoilers so i didn't search the web beyond a steam thread that complained about it being kinda blurry (it's running at 999 x 562 px for that person, supposedly), so i don't know if it's widespread or only certain copies.
Is this normal or have i got some kind of shitty copy?

>>635Eventhough i don't find the art appealing at all and most people seemed to find the story mediocre, I am so pumped for more translated otome, especially something as rare as an r-18 otome, so i'll probably pick it up.
Slightly OT. But why does it seems that there are barely any explicit girl oriented otome games compared to the millions of shitty hentai VN's?
Most girl oriented lewd games tend to be BL. I barely see explicit r-18 "straight" otome on the market, and even when there are, they are mostly saccharine as fuck, the art is absolutes shit, or the sex is barely there, which is disappointing.
Considering the huge amount of explicit girl oriented Drama CDs and how well they sell, it's weird that the r-18 otome game industry doesn't pick up on such a market.

>>635>Platform: Windows 7, 8, 10Having a mac is suffering.
Even though the art, plot and characters don't interest me, I'd really like to play this game just to see how they handle the R18 scenes. For the ones that are going to get it, I'd love to hear your opinions when it's out.

Since that place has most of the untrasnlated normal otoge on there, i just kinda assumed it to be kind of an overview for genres.
But I guess the explixit otomes don't get cracked as much.

I want to recommend the Ikemen Sengoku otome app. It's in a similar style to
>>755 7 husbands type apps in terms of gameplay.
>After accidentally changing history and earning the favor of warlord Nobunaga Oda by saving him from near death, you must survive 3 months surrounded by Japan’s most famous and handsome Sengoku warlords before your next chance to make it back home. In a world where it takes one man to conquer a nation, do you have what it takes to conquer his heart?I think it's kind of new, because a lot of the routes aren't available yet. I'm not sure how long it takes them to add routes, but a new one is scheduled to come out soon.
I think the stories can be pretty cute, and from what I've read, the heroine has a bit of a bite to her. I'm an old burnt out bitch, but game has gotten my heart to flutter like a teenage girl.

>>2832I have some other games from the same developer, I would recommend Chocolate Temptation. It's set in a modern setting, a nice change since I usually play fantasy-ish games, and it's very sweet, although the main character seems to fall every 3rd step she takes (don't they all?)
I like how in all the games from this developer you don't have to collect points or do missions to proceed, you just watch ads if you want to to get more episodes every day.
But I haven't played Forbidden Love, it seems creepy from the ads, and the "american" names are odd to me.
Anonymous 2912
>>2852>> Don't have to collect pointsBefore they revamped it for the billionth time you had to collect points to proceed on the secret dates with your partner. And your choices gave you different points (obviously if it's the correct choice for the route you're on you'll get the maximum amount of points etc). It's dumb that you don't have to do this anymore because well.. I'm pretty sure I paid money the first time around so I could increase my points but now years later :') it don't matter and I wasted my money. Y-Yeah the American names are odd as hell LOL esp the brother character (Mike). They got greedier. The point system is great because as long as you had enough points you didn't have to spend money, but this time around to go on the secret routes you have to pay money. The first secret route was 4.99 it's not much but I think it's ridiculous that I have to pay money and I still am swamped with a shit load of ads. Ugh. I'll check this out though Anon!

Even worse is when they just shut down the game (like Pet Society… I still miss that game) but I'm going off topic. Please post your youtube channel when you make some videos! It sounds interesting.
Also if you want even more otome games my favorite game is Midnight Cinderella, I really love it, the art and the characters are great, the only thing I dislike is the player character, she doesn't do much and her dialogue is 50% "ohh" "mmm" or other weird sounds. But I don't mind that, I'm playing it for the husbandos anyway right?

>>2923I just downloaded Office Lover but I didn't like it very much - the screen is mostly black with just the text box and when the character portrait shows up from time to time it's low resolution and doesn't change expression (also I don't like playboy characters very much) but after that I downloaded Office Lover 2 and I like that one much better! In fact I can't decide on which character to pick.
Also I watched your video, first he berates his sister for seducing rich men and then he goes on to seduce her, what a hypocrite-! Also I liked your little avatar at the beginning and end of the video, it's so cute, but the pink text on a pink background isn't very easy to read.

I just found an amazing app, it's not an otome game but I have to tell you about it. It's called Situation Boyfriend and in it you can download various "conversations" with an imaginary boyfriend voiced by Japanese voice actors and listen to them. There's also a text box with the translation of what he is saying. I just downloaded it 5 minutes ago and I already love it, if you're lonely like me (haha) and you want someone to whisper in your ear you have to download this. Seriously when the audio clip plays through only one of your earphones it sounds just like someone is whispering in your ear. You can almost feel their breath. It made all my blood surge into my face. 10/10

I usually tend to find them too predatory and almost selfish in a way that reminds me of a lot of the negative aspects of some real men. I end up liking male-oriented eroge more, simply because the heroines are sweet, selfless, and willing to do anything for the MC. I would love otome if it were that switched with the guy being the doting submissive one, but I know most girls would find that creepy.

There's a relatively new game by Cybird that I started playing recently, Ikemen Revolution, it's a sort of Alice in Wonderland story and it's really well made. The music is great, the art is so beautiful and there's voice clips sometimes in the story and on special cards that you can win in the gacha. And it's free.
So far there's not a lot of characters available (5 I think so far) Look at how cute they are!

Does anyone prefer 2D over real boys? Why am I like this? It's not like I can't get a bf IRL. I got asked out a lot by very nice people this year and the one before. But I just can't bring myself to love them.
For some reason, I want the person I like to be very far away from me. It's impossible to come in contact with 2D so it's perfect. I don't need to be loved, I don't want to be. I just want to love.
I wish I had a heart so I could draw Tei and portray his beauty for the world to see. Is there anyone more lovable than him?
I also wish dating game MCs in general varied more in personality. I can never relate to the protagonists because they're all losers.

The only thing I can criticize is that because the game is quite old, the old characters have much less polished artwork than the new ones and it's weird when they all have such different styles.
