This game is so bad its funny, the very cringy 2015 plot line that feels like it could make twilight movie have a run for its money with how corny this is. Played for laughs
u have no idea how much this game means to me, it's not even funny.
I didn't care for it because I thought the story was a a bit too unbelievable. I also felt like the pacing was a bit off. But it was fairly entertaining for what it is.
Raestrao
Let me start this off by saying this game is as stupid as it sounds. But like, it's FUN. If you go in knowing it's exactly what it is and you just go with it, you will enjoy it.
I started playing this AGES ago, but only recently finished all of the achievements. I made my ex play, made my sister play, made her ex play, etc. I told them ahead of time that it is as stupid as it sounds and everyone really enjoyed it. Because why not have fun with it?
Spoilers Ahead: Not many, it's mostly my person opinions, but still be cautious
Favorite to least favorite of everyone you can romance: Sam, Andrew, Matthew, Damien, James, Diana, Naomi, Suzu, Erik
My first playthrough I ended up alone (lol) but then I went for Matthew. I really thought he would be perfect for me (naive and childish - I mean I'm a Disney adult). But then I romanced Sam. WHY. His tough guy act gets me. The nickname he gives you? Whyyy do I fall for it every time he says it? The voice actor does Sam PERFECTLY. I already hated Erik from the beginning, but the demon power he has makes me SO UNCOMFORTABLE. James, Damien, and Diana are fine. Naomi is just like dating myself and my tiny Italian sister makes romancing Suzu WEIRD. Also I'm straight so there might be some bias there.
Andrew gets his own paragraph for a specific reason. He's probably who I'd really actually romance and get with if this was all real. But my biggest problem with this entire game comes from romancing Andrew. I hated romancing Erik, but I didn't have to sacrifice my dignity romancing him like I did Andrew. You see, this game takes place in Chicago. I'm from Green Bay. If you've romanced Andrew and know sports you'd understand already. I got to one specific thing to say to Andrew and I got very upset. My IRL husband thought something was wrong with how I was shouting at my computer. The cats were also confused and concerned. I had to use mouthwash after saying it. I mean WHYYY. WHYYY did you make me ask him about Da Bears (still suck)? I mean thankfully Andrew doesn't do sports, but it was so personally painful.
Anyway that's my personal opinions/review. I recommend it 100%. Play it for the fun of it!
pretty good
its exactly what you would expect from a dating sim made in 2015

Family relationships after the prologue turn into a fantasy harem
I liked the cute boys.
Игра «Seduce Me the Otome» — это эротический симулятор с элементами романтики и секса. Атмосфера расслабленная, с яркими персонажами и простым геймплеем. Сюжет минимальный, акцент сделан на взаимодействии с мужчинами, что может быть привлекательно для фанатов жанра. Графика приятная, но не шедевр. Минусы: повторяющиеся диалоги и отсутствие глубины в отношениях. Подойдёт для развлечения, но не для поиска смысла.
[b]Seduce Me the Otome[/b] is a [b]free Visual Novel[/b] released in 2015.
It presents an interesting story of demon realm. And with that come of course otherworldly beings and magic. And of course romance. You can go after 3 female characters (Yuri for the Win!) and I don’t really remember how many guys (not interested in going after them myself in the slightest).
Overall the story is pretty interesting and the characters are built well, they all fall in certain stereotypes. The protagonist is a bit of a klutz, but is also not afraid to stand up for herself, which is nice to see. The big plus is also the fact all the characters (except for protagonist) are voiced.
All in all a decent and entertaining game. Diana best (and the only one I’m into) love interest!
Played it on YouTube back in the day to of course get Diana. You can watch the entire thing from my [b][url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF6bMpb7g7_QhzU0aBaf49lKyp4fvIOC5]Seduce Me the Otome playlist[/url][/b].
I love this game to death. I've been replaying it almost every year since I discovered it. Damien my beloved!!!!!
Was fun and got to hear some interesting perspectives from all of the characters. Some of the play through stories were tougher (James & Damien) because there are a few sequences you have to make sure you do to get the true end.
Nice story, but decent art
хотелось бы отдать должное этой читалке, потому что подростком я была в восторге. это первая визуализированная романтика, на прохождение которой я случайно наткнулась десять лет назад, и каким же классным первым разом (intended) она стала! если вы без особой насмотренности (есть небольшой шанс, что вы не заметите то, насколько поломанно нарисованы персонажи), то очень рекомендую: озвучка классная, сюжет, даже несмотря на то, что повторяется из раза в раз со всеми персонажами, до блевоты слащавый, и если вам одиноко и грустно (еще желательно чтобы вам было лет 12, но необязательно) и хочется максимально наивной нежнятинки, то очень советую
если хочется поржать (чуть-чуть) и сгореть от стыда (насмерть) что вы вообще это открыли - тоже добро пожаловать
Один маленький мальчик пошел с мамой в магазин и увидел там игрушечную собачку. Игрушка была маленькая, но очень красивая - совсем как настоящая, а еще мальчик очень хотел собаку, поэтому он уговорил маму купить ему эту игрушку.
Целый день он играл с собачкой, и даже спать пошел вместе с ней.
Ночью мама услышала крики, и когда она забежала в комнату мальчика, он был весь искусан, но в комнате, кроме него, никого больше не было.
Мальчика забрали в больницу.
На следующую ночь кто-то искусал сестру мальчика. Когда ее спросили, видела ли она кого-нибудь, сестра сказала, что это была очень большая собака. Но в доме никакой собаки не было, а двери и окна все были закрыты.
Приходила даже милиция, но и они ничего не нашли.
Сестру тоже увезли в больницу.
На следующую ночь мама мальчика взяла большую палку и спряталась в шкафу. Поздно ночью она услышала, как кто-то открывает дверь в ее комнату. Мама мальчика приоткрыла дверцу и увидела огромную собаку. Это была та самая игрушечная собачка, которую она купила мальчику. Только она теперь стала намного-намного больше, так, что даже еле протиснулась в проем двери. Собака тоже увидела маму мальчика и бросилась к ней. Но мама успела закрыть дверцу шкафа.
Утром мама стала искать и нашла игрушечную собаку в комнате мальчика.
Мама взяла игрушку и сожгла ее. Игрушечная собака сразу вспыхнула и мгновенно сгорела. От нее остался только серый пепел.
В тот же день мальчик и сестра вернулись из больницы домой – укусы исчезли сразу же, как сгорела игрушка.

A little boy went to the store with his mother and saw a toy dog there. The toy was small but very beautiful—just like a real one, and the boy really wanted a dog, so he convinced his mom to buy him the toy.
He played with the little dog all day and even went to sleep with it.
That night, the mother heard screams. When she ran into the boy's room, he was covered in bites, but there was no one else in the room besides him.
The boy was taken to the hospital.
The next night, someone bit the boy's sister. When she was asked if she had seen anyone, the sister said it was a very big dog. But there was no dog in the house, and all the doors and windows were closed.
The police even came, but they didn't find anything either.
The sister was also taken to the hospital.
The following night, the boy's mother took a big stick and hid in the closet. Late at night, she heard someone open the door to her room. The mother slightly opened the closet door and saw a huge dog. It was the very same toy dog she had bought for her son. Only now it had become much, much bigger, so big that it could barely squeeze through the doorway. The dog saw the mother too and lunged at her. But the mother managed to slam the closet door shut.
In the morning, the mother started searching and found the toy dog in the boy's room.
The mother took the toy and burned it. The toy dog immediately burst into flames and burned up in an instant. All that was left of it was gray ash.
That same day, the boy and his sister returned home from the hospital—the bites disappeared immediately after the toy was burned.

great game<3
This game has always been my emotional support visual novel. It helped me through a previous breakup and I run a blog on Tumblr just for it. I am forever grateful for this game. I will play it over and over again just to see our favorite boys.
Game of the Year nomination is well deserved.

3/5。剧情很简单比较幼稚不用动脑子，大部分时候打得蛮开心的。有很多RO可供选择，还有全配音，作为免费游戏真的非常用心了。cg比立绘好看。明明是魅魔实际上大家都挺纯情virgin的。
我打了james线和damien线。我尤其要吐槽一下damien线结局有挺让人倒胃口的情节，太像dao阿利斯泰和莫丽甘那段所以让我有点ptsd了：[spoiler]damien自己非常想当人类，然而他要和女配（也是个ro）做爱才能变成人，并且他也并不拒绝和女配做爱，该情节对于一个标题就写着otome的轻松休闲风格游戏来说是不是有点过于恶俗了。虽然最后的最后说其实他没和女配做，但女主居然还在道歉说希望damien可以原谅她。原谅什么？原谅她想实现damien的愿望吗？[/spoiler]而且主要是此男人设很老实很真诚，整个游戏前面风格也比较全年龄，突然来一下这种剧情我实在有点接受无能。
在steamdeck上玩字太小，游戏有点老在pc上玩太糊，建议是在pc上找到游戏原文件，依次点击属性、兼容性、更改高dpi设置，然后勾选两个框框，再打开游戏就会变得清晰了。

I like Michaela Laws, I think she's funny, and that does transfer over to the game itself. It's an otome game with a whole lot of content to get through, interesting story, and cool characters. Alejandro Saab jumpscare too, like bro is everywhere??? Christopher Escalante too for those familiar.

The developer no longer care about the life or death of the game. Now more than half of the achievements are broken, so players who want to get achievements please stay away from this game.
Michaela Laws made this game amazingly I love how well she made this game and i HIGHLY recommend this game!!!
I love this game!
I adore that this game has a bit of difference endings.

I couldn't believe how much I love the stories this game has to offer.

Lighthearted visual novel.
“Seduce Me the Otome” — наиграла я в нее много, и это игра, где ты думаешь, что просто поиграешь в романтику, а в итоге оказываешься в полном хаосе с демонами и неожиданно годным сюжетом
Сначала ты такая: “Окей, стандартная отомэ, где на меня свалились красивые парни.”
А потом: “ПОЧЕМУ ЗДЕСЬ СТОЛЬКО ДРАМЫ?!!”
Плюсы:
❤️ ГГ НЕ ТАПОК! Она не просто “девочка, на которую вешаются парни”, а вполне себе с характером. Может поставить границы, может высказать своё мнение — за это огромный плюс!
❤️ ДЕМОНЫ. Да, парни тут не обычные красавчики, а суккубы и инкубы. И это не просто “мы демоны, потому что так романтичнее”, а реально вплетено в сюжет.
❤️ НЕ ПЛОХАЯ ИСТОРИЯ. Это не просто “выбери парня и смотри романтичные сценки”. Здесь есть драма, есть интриги, есть даже экшен-моменты!
❤️ ГОЛОСОВАЯ ОЗВУЧКА. И она, честно говоря, лучше, чем ожидалось от бесплатной визуальной новеллы.
Минусы:
⚠ Дешевенькая графика. Фоны и арты немного простенькие, но для инди-игры это не критично.
💔 В некоторых роутах слишком много драмы. Типа ты пришла за романтикой, а в итоге сидишь и страдаешь
🔁 Много повторяющегося текста. Иногда одни и те же сцены повторяются на всех маршрутах, что немного утомляет.
Вывод:
Если хочешь не просто отомэ с романтикой, а ещё и с сюжетом, переживашками и демоническими парнями, то игрулька вполне может приятно удивить! И это всё ещё бесплатная игра, так что почему бы не попробовать? 💜
luv ...
A Fun and Lighthearted Romance Adventure
I first played this game on my phone a long time ago but decided to revisit it—and I’m glad I did.
It’s a funny visual novel with some really creative ideas, and I especially appreciated the full voice acting. Given how this project came to be, the artwork is quite nice, and the character designs make it easy to tell everyone apart. The game leans into classic romance tropes, touching on a little bit of everything, which makes for a fun and entertaining experience.
I 100% completed it to see all the content and bonuses, but while I had a good time, I don’t see myself returning to it. Maybe I’ll check out the sequel and see if some of the writing quirks have been refined. That said, I’d still recommend it if you’re looking for a lighthearted, casual romance VN.
It’s also great to see LGBT+ representation handled in a sweet and natural way. The voice acting is well done, and overall, it’s a charming little game plus its Free!
The voice acting is abysmal, the story is somewhat predictable and dare I say bland, the visuals are nice, the character design is not my cup of tea. I would have loved the look of the game to be set in the same style as the very first scene, the grainy, filled out, proportionately decent look. I really liked that, but the rest of the game does not look like it. It's relatively short, so the plot really doesn't have time to develop imo, so I found myself wondering what the point of the story was in the end. I never felt any connection to any of the characters, even the MC, there just was nothing to tie me to them. There were some cute moments, but I wouldn't recommend this if you're serious about otomes. It's a cute story to pass the time, and definitely for a very young crowd, that's about it. Trust me, just turn the VA off completely and it's actually a somewhat of a decent read. Just my thoughts. If you want some really good free otomes try A Date With Death, Tailor Tales, Cinderella Phenomenon, Ephemeral: Fantasy on Dark, and others. Those have the look and feel of fully priced otomes.
Played this game so many times and it never gets old. Very well written and so entertaining. All the characters are so different but all so amazing. I love this game so much!
Guys, I cant make it past the prologue. I've been trying but I can't do it.
Pretty good, it was the first otome I ever played on Steam actually
A game with a promising start about the special circumstances of the female lead - the grandfather passed away, family conflict, the father brought his daughter to the grandfather's mansion to live alone. However, later the plot returned to the classic 90s romance style with the female lead living in a house with a male harem.
The game is free but the plot is not too bad, each male character has a separate story and there is a female villain who pushes the turning point of the story. The minus point is that the later part of the plot when the male villain appears, the plot lines are quite similar, the male characters have different personalities but have similar ways of behaving.
It can be seen that this is a game with not much investment in the visual part, the love line develops quite quickly. However, there is still a plus point that the plot has many points of exploitation besides love such as family conflict, mystery about the magical world, company fighting, school violence... creating a more diverse depth for the story. The female lead is a high school student but the love scenes are quite impressive. The game has a plus point of having voice acting for the characters. Overall, for a free game, it is quite good, the biggest shortcoming is probably the graphics and the rather short duration of each story line.

I played this years ago, and it was perhaps one of my first OELVN.
Love the characters, they're very diverse and intriguing. Storytelling is great, sometimes I tried to get the bad endings on purpose because I wanted to see how it played out.
Love the artwork. Would recommend.
Озвученная полностью новелла
Your typical otome game.
The art style is simplistic, the voice overs a bit cringey and every character is stereotypical as ♥♥♥♥.
It's targetted audience, as you might see from the screenshots and everything else is female. It's "Diabolik Lovers" but as a free game minus the abuse.
That being said - it's a free game. You shouldn't have high hopes from the start.
There's a lot of effort put into it, though. And it's not as bland as one might think. It has achievements, audio, routes, choices, the artstyle is decent enough. I recommend it if you're into such things. It's worth checking out.

I really hate the artwork. :(
Damien is mine. You can't have him.
Cute story.
Lots of different endings. you can be with one of the guys, girls or no one.
Each character has a different personality.
Has part 2
I played this game the first time around when I was about 16. And loved it back then, but couldn't remember much about it (besides a few key details) so I decided to play it again recently. As someone who's obsessed with all aspects fictional (With an insane love for magical/demonic aspects) This game was a blessing to me. So far not many visual novels I've seen have dabbled in demonic lovers, so it was a pleasant first when I got my hands on it. Not to mention it not only has clear endings, but many secret endings as well (Which as an achievement hunter I'm totally in love with!) On top of that the game was free, so if I delved in and didn't like it, it wasn't like much was lost. But I ended up loving the game whole-heartedly. And it quickly became a hyper-fixation of mine! The 5 boys each carry their own personality trait trope, and even though you may start off not liking some (And definitely having a preference) I found there was reason to fall for each of the love interests individually. When I came back to play now (as an adult) I was fully expecting to not like it as much. But was surprised to find out I was still heavily in love with the game. This game did a great job at covering some tropes/insecurities within the love interests, and it didn't feel overdone/played out wrong. Though, I feel like the routes could've spent a little longer padding out some more scenes to build up to the romance (that also could just be cause I'm a fast reader) I still loved the scenes I had with each boy. Overall I would highly recommend the game, even years later and hope that anyone else who wants to play it would like it too!
i love this game
Im in love
this game is so cute. I am absolutely fangirling over it!!!! the sass of this game is funny. thanks Machela Laws for making an awesome game
My friend (Abba, shout out to him for being a bastard) randomly gifted the sequel of this game to me, so I started on playing this one. At first, I was mainly playing this game out of irony. The art's good, way better than anything I could ever draw, but it looks wonky in some places. And the story is silly a lot of the time. After completing the James route, feeling the need to get all the achievements and gallery pictures (causing me to go through the game more times than I can count), using the codes, watching through the bloopers, looking through some fan content (either ironic or unironic), I realize that I genuinely love this game now. It's so cheesy and imperfect, but it has so much heart put into it that I can't help but love it. You may feel stupid during your first run, but if you actually put time into playing it, your ironic love for the game might become real. Overall, a great experience! It's free anyway, so I recommend playing it! It's fun!
Unfortunately with each of the five main guys' routes it's very much copy and paste in every aspect of their relationship with the MC, as in the text was literally copied and pasted just with the name of the guy changed. It felt like once you completed one of their routes, you knew that it was going to be the same for the other guys too. Same with Naomi and Suzu, their intimate conclusion pretty much ended the same just with their different stories. Diana was the only interesting one as she had multiple endings and achievements attached to her route, at this point getting all the achievements felt more fun than playing the routes.
Now, I didn't dislike any of the characters or the story or even the writing, they were all great in their own way and had their own personality and quirks, the art is beautiful and I love the addition of demons and other hell born creatures. However, getting through all the routes when you've seen the exact same text as before and want to skip, the game will not allow you to simply because it's a new route was frustrating, knowing what I knew after I completed my first route, it diminished my connection to the other routes knowing the relationship would play out the same but just with a slight change to the ending depending on the guy or girl.
In conclusion, it's very lazily put together and a slog to get through, I've played other free visual novels that have less love interests and the game is shorter but they have far more choices and outcomes and choices actually can change the story/gameplay completely. But choices for this game don't matter when it comes to diversifying each route but they also weirdly do if you want to get all the achievements. One simple wrong choice will not allow you to get the full ending or achievement you want so it is really weird. I would not recommend this one to a friend unfortunately.
Acredito que esse tenha sido uns dos primeiros Otomes que ja joguei na vida, então não nego que minha opinião possa ser um pouco tendenciosa. Gosto bastante de todo o jogo, embora ele seja um pouco repetitivo ( ja que todas as rotas se encontram durante o caminho), sinto que tudo é bem colocado aqui, alem do mais me lembro de rir bastante enquanto jogava. Recomendo bastante para quem gosta do genero, afinal de contas o jogo é de graça e tem uma boa qualidade.
Diana... woof woof woof...
MY TOP OJ FAVE OTOME GAME EVERRRRR. It's not aged the best admittedly but it's a classic and it changed my brain chemistry. It's like an old cheesy piece of media you consumed long ago and are now nostalgic for it even though it had it's flaws. And too many cute boys to choose from? Secret endings? And the VOICE ACTING?! 10/10 Would date demon men again.
nuh uh
İncubi işlerine bulaşan Mika Anderson adında bir kızın etrafında dönen romantik komedi görsel romanı. Türkçe dil yok.
Ahahaha I need Matthew in me so bad.
The first interaction with the group of guys is sexual battery committed by two of them.
Two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forcing themselves on me isn't my kind of game or relationship.
For a game about a bunch of incubus boys, they sure are a bunch of romance-avoidant scaredy-cats. Anyway, the characters follow well-established tropes. The boys are well characterized (albeit very much not written as incubi). I wouldn't call the game well-written, per se - Michaela Laws really needs to take a red pen and chop out a bunch of the extra verbiage she uses. (Sometimes you'll get like 9 paragraphs of repetitive wangst and there's a point where wangst goes from enjoyable to read to PLEASE GET ON WITH IT ALREADY).
There are some girl romance options (specifically Diana the Succubus) but um...you can clearly tell that Michaela just doesn't have any idea how to write girl romances. Maybe I'm misremembering, but when I romanced James there was some solid descriptor of the actual romantic aspects. Then with Diana it was a very swift glossed over thing. And I understand inclusion, but I feel like there's a point you should just decide to skip it.
I always turn off the voice acting, so I can't comment on that. The art is...um...the boy's outfits make no sense, and they have no hips. But it's very Learn to Draw Anime.
Anyway, I do recommend this because it's free, and maybe it'll be your thing, even if it's not mine. But I do wish it was better!
I've played this game slightly longer than a sane person would. A long time fan since 2015, I don't care about its flaws. It's a wonderful free romance with characters that I care deeply about. Here's to another 10 years.
it is one of the best dating games there is out there and don't get me started on the second game as well!

I held off from this for years. Finally giving in.
Well, I 100%'d this on a sunder account. But I may as well review it here too.
SImply put it's ridiculous. In terms of story and worldbuilding, this is much what I have hated about VN's and dating sims for so long in one package. The worldbuilding is at its strongest when there's no fantasy element in sight; the incubus/succubus/demoness somesuch comes in completely separate from Mika's real-ish personal life like globs of oil floating on water, and it's all so rushed in its doing so. Mika warms up to the five creepy boys just suddenly living in her mansion way too fast, and their backstories, and that of the succubus whose line this game is based on, don't seem to have any real metaphor or deeper meaning that applies to Mika's real-world predicament or that a player can walk away with.
On that note, as I said in my review on the other account, this game is clearly meant to have Mika be a lesbian. The three female romance options are the ones with the most believable scenes, clever writing, and the third such option is the one who actually says- or is it Mika who says it to her?- the name of the otome at the end of her romance route. Oh, and said option kisses Mika in *every single* "good" ending that comes after they meet, so it's pretty obvious she's meant to be the, *the*, canon love interest.
And yet, the promotion for this game insists on the six male by-the-ways being the, *the*, defining dating options in this game. Corroborated by Mika acting fraudulently non-lesbian in her interactions with the male dating options.
Between fantasy elements that don't blend *at all* with Mika's real life, the completely different standards of writing for the fantasy vs real-ish plots and subplots, and the blatant mainline intention of the lesbian romance plots contrasted with the highly promoted yet lackluster male romance routes (except for that one guy who she meets at the party, he's surprisingly likable and his interactions with Mika actually make sense.... kind of), it's like poor Michaela Laws doesn't know what she wanted this to be.
___
But, that is unfair in light of that this is free. There are positives to behold here.
The biggest being that this is blatantly a passion project. My mouth waters at the thought of a noose or cyanide pill every day I'm awake in this world where I don't belong, and much of that comes down to having neglected to realize anything I wanted to make and foreone with the world while I had the chance.
Michaela Laws actually did it. The romance and plot and fantasy elements may be ridiculous to me, but it's obvious these characters and what they feel and how their stories unfold in the varying timelines *mean something* to Michaela, and she rolled up her sleeves, and made *everything* she did. Then contacted those who could help, like the voice actors. Then brought it all together. And learned everything she had to to know how to make that happen.
No matter how I feel about the VN itself, the fact of it being a passion project someone made, from their own mind and heart, by their own bootstraps; that *wins* me. It wins my worthless, vapid dry coal lump of a heart.

However, this wasn't just some mad throwtogether. Under the ludicrous writing and sexual orientation indecision, there's actual substance to this.
The biggest thing to praise is the branches. Holy cow. Now most of them may be absurd, but this has a wealth of choices that most VN's don't dare touch, leading to plenty of possible endings, making *actual* replay value.
The wealth of content doesn't end there either, since there are also some audio blooper reels to find.
And I'd like to come back to what was already said, that the real-ish life segments are the best written in the VN, and emphasize that's not just "less bad", but *actually good*. The dialogue for Mika in these, both options and automated, and for that matter of Naomi, Suzu, Mika's parents, and even the high school bully, teacher, and cafe lady, all seem to more often than not be believable at worst and organic, clever, and expressive of- and at one with- personality otherwise. There are some corny lines, granted,like from Mika's parents, but even these seem to at least serve meaningful character development and create interesting drama.

Lastly, the homedrawn art style actually appeals to me, in a way. Disillusioned as I am with high production value I and my forsaken carcass are never going to match, this homebrew artstyle, with its softness, fullness, and the uniqueness of the character designs, is more a feature than a bug to me, with the flaws- and there are flaws, let me tell you- coming to be more a personality of the art style that perfectly corroborates the other blatantly passion-project elements of Seduce Me.

If you're curious what a passion project looks like, *and* you like dating sims/VN's, *and* you're open to the flaws that come with a dream pushed through with passion before waiting for some hoity-toity publisher's/editor's permission, give Seduce Me a go. It's not my kind of VN, I found much to not like in it, and even *I* stand by my choice to have fanded it.

Oh yes, and, obligatory bucket of chicken joke.
If I had a nickle for every game with hot demon brothers that I fell in love with, I'd have two nickles. That's not a lot but its funny that it happened twice.
This is a good game if you are looking for some otome games to play.
Ich werd alt ... achwas, ich BIN alt! Zumindest eindeutig zu alt für diese Art von Otome. Es tut mir auch richtig leid hier einen Daumen nach unten zu vergeben, leider gibt es keinen Daumen "in die Mitte". Denn es ist eindeutig: Das Otome hier scheint echt nett zu sein, aber es ist einfach nicht mein Geschmack.
Es packt mich nicht, es fesselt mich nicht ... es interessiert mich noch nicht einmal. Mit der Protagonistin kann ich nicht mitfühlen, ich finde sie nicht mal sympathisch ... noch nicht einmal unsympathisch, einfach nur farblos. Ich fand den Anfang einfach zu zäh, die "gefühllosen" Eltern einfach zu "platt" dargestellt und die Burschen für die Romanze einfach zu .... naja hat mich so berührt wie Pflastersteine mit Morgengrauen ... irgendwie gar nicht.
Dazu kam noch, das ich den Zeichenstil irgendwann doof fand. Zuerst nur "ok", nach einer Weile nervte es irgendwie.
Ich denke, man sollte dieses Otome wirklich ausprobieren, ob es einem zusagt oder nicht. Eine Chance hat es allemal verdient.
ive loved it since childhood
I love men.
cute short, worth a free game
get it.
Nice game!
Came across this game when I was younger, loved it, wanted the second game. Now that I've come back to it again years later, even in comparison to other otome games, I still love it. It's corny, sure, but I'm a sucker for corny games. The main character actually fights back, which is nice. There's voice acting, music, and so many different options and endings to go through. The game is free and there's nothing locked behind paywalls, it's so refreshing compared to the free otome games I see now. You don't need to wait and get tokens or tickets or whatever to continue the story, nor do you need to use an in-game currency for action options. I was giggling like a little school girl the whole time.
For a free game, this goes above and beyond my expectations.
I will be playing the next game and sharing my thoughts on that, too.
An interesting romantic tail of cute boys
