3 of the guys feel kind of mysterious. Maybe that is just me and the game differentiates them better.

I do wonder if they'll do anything with her holy position. That made me wonder (bit of a tangent): I am curious how interested a Japanese audience, that I assume has more exposure to Shinto and Buddhism, would be in works exploring Christianity, especially from perspectives of people who faced religious abuse. Would they find it an interesting story of stuff that someone in a foreign country might go through? Would it not resonate because the popular Japanese religions and culture around it are different enough for it to be unrelatable? The hearsay I found online in fandom spaces suggests they might think Christianity is cool, though not sure if that is just an aesthetic thing.

 
 

Was looking forward to this coming out! After the review, I might just back off. Cannot quite identify what's turning me off. But that is what reviews are useful for: further discerning if the product is for you or not. I'll thank BlerdyOtome for helping me not inflate my backlog even more.

Thanks for rechecking!

I went and assumed bot annoyance was about bots masquerading as people and outright bot spam, not legitimate use of bots to automate predictable posts (like weekly posts or relevant updates from a particular site). The fact you are bothering to point out that you never said the bots was unmarked lets me know I assumed incorrectly. Sorry.

Always happy to see small indie blogs like this!

I feel otome is niche enough our reviews are not flooded by bots pretending to be human and paid-for fake reviews, but it's still nice to see what's clearly a small independent site made by a person just offering their opinion.

I know the DARK routes will appeal to some of my friends and I find it interesting too because it can reveal aspects of what the character could be but didn't become if you did a different route.

Because of her black eyes and black hair, she is imprisoned for being “demon-possessed.”

oh boy, these folks finding out about what most people look like in our most-populated continent of Asia would go over so poorly. MC is isekai'd, presumably from Japan, so I wonder if she thinks the same thing that I just wrote…

One of my alts is on .zip. I was unaware we had bots that do not mark themselves and are unobtrusive. Can you show me some examples? (Genuine ask, not me trying to say "you're wrong" in the most passive-aggressive way)

Pleasure seeing you here! I was pretty excited for this

man it's depressing how relevant it has become now, instead of a sci-fi philosophy thought experiment

Thanks for posting this! Sending to some otome-playing friends not on Fedi

 

If you understand Japanese, you can search for a game and it will return the game's official website. I think it covers both commercial and indie releases, but I know for sure it covers indie.

Switching costs. I'll try Piefed someday

Autoposting weekly threads, and the ability to put the date in the name of the autopost.

What are you playing this Wednesday, January 1, 2000?

What are you playing this Wednesday, January 8, 2000?

and so on

Artstyle is very not my thing, but relevant to otome and single indie dev, so figured I might as well post

I agree on gray area. I feel the type who's super into privacy would like us so long as our caveats are super upfront when we advertise. We're "private" in that we have no trackers or other surveillance to block, but we are not private in how ActivityPub works (at least from what I remember when Fedi was new, forgot it all by now) and that definitely has kept me from using, say, PixelFed and posting my real life pictures on there and trying to migrate all my friends over to put their family pictures, vacation pictures, "feelin myself today" pictures there too.

I remember reading about this on Bluesky. Nice to see a more forward MC, and pleased to see a bridged BlueSky! I was doing that with mine. Last I actually checked, I don't think Mastodon was bridging my BlueSky over so I have to check that.

 

Fall in love with visual novels! These romance-themed stories about love, horror, comedy, and more will never leave your heart.

Posted over at !visualnovels@ani.social, but since it focuses on romance and does include otome games I thought I ought to post it here too.

As per usual for Steam festivals, some games are on sale.
