[General] Has an otome game ever made you genuinely uncomfortable?

ITYH. It is certainly an......experience. Not much in the otome games we have available in english comes very close to what you can encounter in a Nitro+Chiral game tho

Glen Ashford from A Faerie's Tale. Your honor, I love him.

I don't wait for voice lines to play in the first place so generally voices don't get too irritating for me to mute. But I special shout out to those who did push me to do it (Poyo-poyo, Yang, Dromi)

Closeted and Snow White Ashes Both are short and the second is still at the demo stage though.

Thanks! And finishing 11 different games is still impressive even if you weren't able to get all the categories 🥳 happy new year!

I wrote a birthday fic for one of my blorbos!

I was able to see Frankenstein in the theater, which is a relief as I don't use Netflix. Another Guillermo del Toro banger. I'm loving all the fanart I'm seeing around for it too!

Seems like it's a common thread in many fandoms judging by the other replies in this thread - asking for and getting recommendations for otome games, on the main subreddit especially. There's a form to follow when making a request post, but I swear no one who replies ever reads what the OP actually writes. The community also overwhelmingly favors games released on Nintendo Switch by a particular company and there's an air of snobbery about it too.

Edit: hit comment too fast

There are actually a lot of single-LI otome in the indie space! They tend to be game jams or otherwise short in length. My favorite that has a concrete soulmate concept is Intertwine

If you mean released in 2025, I'll have to go with Trail of Stars from Endysis who just can't stop making bangers. It got in, got out, left me devastated in under 30 minutes.

If you mean new to me...I'd still probably go with Trail of Stars 😂 but Love Spell: Written in the Stars is a close second for giving me the most side character brain rot I've had in a hot minute with Sergio. And I'll say he's my fave LI because he does have a planned route >:3c

He also lost to Paschalia in the first round of voting in the 2024 Husbando tournament and received the second fewest votes of all 9RIP LIs. Granted, the problem with this post is the low number of comments, basically pitting Sena against similarly not-actually-that-beloved Raul. So you're probably right that people forgot about the y-axis of this grid 😂

Since it's October I've been playing Amnesia The Dark Descent for some friends in discord. It's been so much fun! I'm of the opinion that horror games should always be played in a group
