I tried the Snowkissed Romance Demo and wrote a mini review

Screenshot showing one love interest called Kichirou at a snowy mountian, dressed in skiing gear. He says "O-Oh, right. I knew that. Who cares? I don't S-so, yup. Two tickets.""

It's a stat-raising dating sim inspired by classic otome games like Tokimeki Memorial! There's also a kickstarter campaign running atm so I checked it out. Normally this should be totally my thing, but I was honestly kind of underwhelmed :/

Where do you play otome games most often?

by
Elevator7009@ani.social
3 months ago
Three illustrations: a laptop showing a heart, a Nintendo Switch, and a smartphone. This is accompanied by the text "It doesn't matter what type of otome gamer you are… in the clurb[sic], we all fam."

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.

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.

Do you have a favorite LI trope? If so, what is it?

by
Elevator7009@ani.social
4 months ago

For instance, things like personality, backstory, appearance, role in the story, how their romance progresses… I know there is a huge subset of yandere fans out there and I've seen some indie games catered specifically towards it (yandere otome games), and I'm curious if something like that exists for other LI tropes too. If there is a game full of all tsunderes, meganes, villains, people with traumatic backstories…

New otome game reviewer and their website (otomehitorigoto.wordpress.com)

by

I always enjoy reading peoples' thoughts on otome. Full disclosure, I also got this out of the Self-Promotion Sunday on r/otomegames. I figured a person who seems to be trying to be a new creator of otome-related content (in this case reviews) could use a boost, especially since the only consistent reviewers I can think of off the top of my head are otomekitten and blerdyotome.

Otome and Interactive Fiction Overlap

by
Elevator7009@ani.social
5 months ago

Typically we think of otome games as visual novels. But I have played quite a few text-based games where you can play as a woman with a bunch of (male) love interests. Usually no or few images, definitely no CGs, but your choices affect the story and often characters' opinions of you. Some are more focused on the relationships, some less. I was wondering how many people play otome who also play these interactive fiction games, or vice versa, how much the audience for both overlaps. Was also wondering if some IF might qualify as otome.

Screenshot showing an over-the-shoulder- shot from the protagonist's POV of her captor, a handsome man with dark hair, tan skin, and what appear to be burn scars at the side of his face. He says : "I'm tired, Berin."

It's pretty out there for an otome since you're literally being held prisoner by a stalker.

Otome Games

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 Game

Something 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 Game

Something 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.

Not Rules

Magazine/community icon from My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance-

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, which went down when kbin.social had federation issues and eventually went down.
  2. Then we moved to !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.

- !vndev@discuss.tchncs.de (visual novel development)
- !infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de (a non-VN game also aimed at women)
