Otome Game Suggestion Thread

[firelily]

I noticed that there aren't any threads dedicated to suggesting games.
So rather than making new threads every time to ask, I thought I'd make one where everyone can drop off their questions!

Here's a template people can fill out when they ask for suggestions:

Consoles in Possession:
Games You've Played:
Likes:
Dislikes:
R18: Yes/No
BL: Yes/No
Games You're Considering:
Others:

Feel free to ask for recommendations or leave suggestions for other people!

Happy Suggesting!

Hello all, I'm fairly new to the otome gaming community and would like some suggestions please~
I am fairly picky about art style.

Consoles in Possession: psp, vita, PC
Games You've Played: Dialovers, Alice=alice, arcania famiglia, and working on re:birthday song
Likes: tsunderes, closet yanderes, older guys, lazy&sarcastic guys. slightly perverted is nice too hehe >///<
Dislikes: guys that scream way too much. and in regards to art style, guys with overly sharp/pointy faces and very defined hair (amnesia is an offender here)
R18: haven't tried, but I would be ok with it :3
BL: no
Games You're Considering: /
Others: sorry i am so picky about art style >_<;

Thank-you!

 

[firelily]

Games with that you might like are: Code Realize (Vita), Norn9 (PSP), and Snow Bound Land (PSP), Ozmafia! (PSP)
(I'm sure you can find all your "likes" in Norn 9. There's a plethora of boys.)
I think these games have the "soft" touch that you seem to like.

"Older guy+sarcastic+slightly perverted" only reminds me of Mitsuhide Akechi from "Geten no Hana" (PSP).
(He's my favorite character though! >////<)
This game also has a classic tsundere, who made me nosebleed the first time he had his "dere" moment.
The only problem is, the art style is quite distinctive and the Japanese can be a little hard to understand, since it's a historical game.

In any case, please have fun~! XD

 

[imcf]

sorry for late response, but thankyou! Will check out all of the games :)

Hey you guys! Could someone recommend me something as well, please? I've been in quite a slump lately trying desperately to get out :(

Consoles in Possession: just pc, but I'm willing to download just about any console emulator if the game seems appealing enough :)
Games You've Played: my vndb list: https://vndb.org/u88283/list
Likes: My faves so far are probably Tokimeki memorial GS 3 (Ruka <3 <3 <3 forever) and Dramatical Murder. I tend to really get into stats raising, but the story has to be convincing and the characters interesting enough as well :)
Dislikes: omg, I really disliked Secondary Reproduction in spite of the gorgeous art. Also, recently I finished playing Nicole and it really bored me out of my wits.
R18: Yes, please! teeehee
BL: Yes, please!!
Games You're Considering: I have my eyes set on quite a few but there are no english translations available, that I'm aware of :(
Others: any fun, entertaining titles are very welcome!

Thanks a lot in advance for any replies :)

 

[firelily]

Gah! I'm not very knowledgeable about the English side of otome games! ;__;
I couldn't find much information, sorry!

Visual Novel with English translation:
1. Starry Sky ~in Spring~ (PC)
2. Hakuouki (PS, but I'm sure you can manage)
3. Yo-Jin-Bo (PC)
*I found all the ones I recognized here: http://blog.fuwanovel.net/2013/07/l...lish-translated-otome-games-via-otome-hearts/ *

Recommended games with Stat raising:
1. Palais de Reine
2. Ayashi no Miya (Both are PC games, but I don't think they have an English translation)
Also, why don't you try Toki Memo 2? I liked the characters more than the 3rd.

(Bonus: Koezaru ha Akai Hana -- a well received R18 game on the PC. It has a good plot, but I don't think anyone has translated it)

I hope I was able to help...

 

[merla692]

Thank you so much for your suggestions, firelily!! I loved reading your post, it really inspired met to pick something up :)
lol
I actually already had some of those titles on my radar but I've just added the other ones to my vndb wishlist :D
Hakuoki came highly recommended from a friend of mine irl as well, but the emulator I downloaded didn't seem to run it properly,I'll keep looking though!

Thanks again and I love your cute bowing girl emote <3

 

[lechiotta]

Consoles in Possession: Android, PSP, NDS
Games You've Played: tokimeki memorial girls side all series, love plus, quinrose games, trick or alice, dot kareshi, amnesia
Likes: unique games ❤︎
Dislikes: almost none
R18: Yes
BL: No
Games You're Considering: I'm an artist so I also draw, I'm pretty much picky about arts. coz it affect mine a lot. X.X
Others: I would to suggest shall we date series in smartphone ♪
Anyone plays animal boyfriend?:D its raising game in smartphone too!

 

[firelily]

Hmm, "unique games" are pretty broad, and I'm not really sure what kind of art style you'd like... (Give me a few clarifications if my list doesn't seem that appealing)

Here are a few off the top of my head:
La Corda d'Oro 3 & Another Sky Series (PSP/3DS: All Ages)
-It's all about music and winning the competition! The more recent "Another Sky" Series has better art and a more fluid system. The story stands on its own for each title, so you don't need to play all of the series.

Vitamin Series (PS2/DS/PSP: All Ages)
-You become a teacher and help your students graduate! Any title in the series would be fine.

Storm Lovers 1-2 (PSP: All Ages)
-From friendship to actually being in a relationship, this game gives it all! You can be pure and innocent by pursuing one guy, or be flirtatious with multiple guys!

Kurayami no Naka de Kimi wo Matsu (DS: All Ages)
-A mystery, survival horror! Escape from a serial killer with the man you trust.
Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo (DS/PSP: All Ages)
-Girl meets boy. Boy rejects girl. Girl goes on diet.

Koezaru wa Hana (PC: R18/ PSP: All Ages)
-The setting is pretty unique because most of the character development starts after you get married.

Honorable mentions: Clock Zero, Wand of Fortune, Brothers Conflict

If you're looking for uniqueness, "D3 Publishers" are a good place to start. The only problem is, their art can be a little "sharp." It might appeal to you; it might not.
Also, TAKUYO games have some interesting settings, but they are more like visual novels.

Oh this thread is such a good idea!! o:
I was looking for new games and it's always better with some advices!!

Consoles in Possession: PSP, DS (and Android phone)
Games You've Played: DiaLovers, Amnesia, Gakuen K, Starry Sky in Spring, Black Wolves Saga, Dynamic Chord (all), Re:Birthday Song
Likes: I really like bad boys, yankee type is great! I like tsunderes better maybe, and I have a thing for mysterious guys but it's okay if they are not as long as the character is interesting! I also like when you have a lot of choices you can make but it's not a must !
Dislikes: Hmm boring characters, guys who speaks way too much...
R18: No
BL: It's okay if there are some but it's not my priority!
Games You're Considering: I was thinking about starting Norn9 !
Others: Recently (probably because fall is coming) I'm into a halloween mood so something with horror/scary background would be welcome!!
