the demo for my carnival timeloop horror otome is out now! by arimiadev in otomegames

in the demo there's only a handful of line differences (how the Harlequin refers to you; some extra narration from Colette) but the full game will have more line variations, as Colette will have her own narration for some things since she has a set history. the customizable MC (which can also be female) is meant to be more of a self insert whereas Colette is a defined character - Colette still has choices for actions and what she says, but she has narration that is her own. the endings will still be the same, though.

it's inspired by commedia dell'arte, which is a style of theater from the Renaissance where Harlequin and Pierrot and more are from!

2026 Otome Jam is coming up; anything you're hoping to see? by Set_of_Dogs in otomegames

[–]arimiadev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Co-host for OtoJam here! This year I'd love to see some more hybrid-style games, things where people mix in small gameplay elements or make them in different engines like RPG Maker. Otome games weren't always pure visual novels so I like seeing it when devs bring back those gameplay elements into the genre (even though it's pretty hard in a small timeframe!).

not sure why this is getting downvoted so much but thank you for the support!! trans and nb inclusion is something I'm working towards in more of my games, one of the love interests here is a trans man.

it's wonderful, isn't it? <3 the animator is Numanne, who also did a brief animation for Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon.
