Rules

  1. Please stay on-topic: post about otome games. Otome games are romance games aimed at women who want to romance men. For the purposes of this community, games with female love interests (LIs) count as long as it isn't mostly female LIs: men should be at least half of the LI options. Note that you do not have to be a straight woman to post: people outside the target demographic play too, and you are welcome here. Amare games will be allowed given how small the community on the Fediverse is for it, and how they overlap with otome, but if the community starts to overwhelmingly have non-otome amare posts I reserve the right to change this rule and redirect those posts to a new amare community.

  2. In an effort to keep this community more discussion-based, please only post fanart and the like if you made the art yourself. Your own fanart, cosplays, etc. are very welcome.

  3. Don’t be a jerk.

    • No bigotry or discrimination. This includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
    • Be respectful of other peoples’ tastes. You may absolutely despise an LI and want to discuss it, and that’s fine. Casting negative aspersions on or directly insulting people who love that LI is not fine. What we find interesting in fiction does not always directly translate to real-life desires.
  4. Please don’t directly link to pirated content.

  5. Tag any NSFW content as such. If you are not sure whether to tag it that way, err on the side of caution and tag.

  6. Please indicate spoilers. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.

Spoilers for OtomeGame: The GameSomething that happened at the end of the game! Something else that happened at the end of the game!

That will appear as:

Spoilers for OtomeGame: The GameSomething that happened at the end of the game!

Something else that happened at the end of the game!

7. When advertising something you have worked on (think your own otome review website, or an otome game you have worked on), please use common sense for what is spammy. If there's about four new posts here weekly, don't post a progress update weekly—we don't want self-promotion overwhelming the community. But finding new otome creators is cool, so do post them here every once in awhile! I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I'll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.

Our backup community is !otomegames@lemmy.zip.

Q: Why is this needed?A: TL;DR: We have had to start over a lot due to instances dying.

  1. First, otome on Lemmy/Mbin started with Kbin, at [!otomegames@kbin.social](/c/otomegames@kbin.social), which went down when kbin.social had federation issues and eventually went down.
  2. Then we moved to [!otomegames@kbin.run](/c/otomegames@kbin.run), which went down when kbin.run unexpectedly vanished.
  3. So we moved again to !otomegames@ani.social, where we can hopefully stay. If not, we jump to…
  4. !otomegames@lemmy.zip.

Full game not yet out, but demo available on Steam and itch.io.

As a child, you witnessed the fall of your noble house, leaving you with many burning questions about the tragedy. In search of answers, you arrive at the imperial palace to serve as governess to the empire's young princess.

Though you try to distance yourself from the chaos of court intrigue, when the young princess suddenly falls ill, you have no choice but to seek the help of one of the princes.

It seems that'd be one of two princes, who happen to be the game's LIs.

Has 10 questions. Results include both telling you what you are probably looking for in a relationship, and what the relationship with the LI would look like. Also, post who you get in the comments, and if you think the results fit you!

  • Psychedelia of the Black Butterfly: $29.99 -> $7.49
    • Its Deluxe Bundle is the base game plus the DLC. It is also on sale for 75% off: $31.48 -> $7.86
    • The DLC is an art book, OST, and wallpaper. It is also on sale for 75%, $4.99 -> $1.24.
    • Buying the game and the DLC separately would be $29.99 + $4.99 = $34.98 normally, $7.49 + $1.24 = $8.73 on sale. So if you want both the Deluxe Bundle will save you money.
  • Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk: $29.99 -> $7.49

United Kingdom link

I admit I heard about this from a European friend, and don't speak any language other than English so I don't have links for the other EU countries.

EDIT: Now on sale for the United States of America and Canada too!

Steam link and itch.io link.

In an alternate Victorian world, vampires are part of every day life. But when an actual cure to vampirism is discovered, not everyone takes too kindly to the disturbance in the status quo...

Determined to make her own destiny as she turns 18, the young head of her family Lucie plunges headfirst in the conniving world of business dealings. Before she's able to seal the deal on a revolutionary treatment to vampirism, her business partner suddenly dies. Lucie finds herself embroiled in the middle of the mysterious death of her former partner and an event from a decade prior...

Game can stand alone, but is the sequel to a non-otome regular visual novel (shoutout to our friends over at !visualnovels@ani.social) set around 5–6 years before the otome. That visual novel is Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea. Here's a Steam link and an itch.io link.

Almost made the title "no console warring here!" both because I (thankfully) rarely see that attitude in otome communities and it feels more appropriate for the picture, but I figure I ought to lead with the question so people can actually answer.

I asked in this community before what your favorite platform to play otome on was, but that is a different question from what you actually use most often to play otome. What do you play otome on most often and does it match your favorite platform for it?

Found this. Never heard of it before, I figure it's a few enthusiasts putting something together and hey, that's what this community is too! It has news and judging by the "ONLY Otome Hub You'll Ever Need!" recommendation for the title when I pasted in the URL, they are probably trying to be a center for otome information. Figured I'd check it out a bit.
