What got you interested in otome games?

Back when Mystic Messenger was really popular, I kept seeing people talk about this game on socmed. Eventually, it make me curious and give a chance to try it myself. And so I learn something about otome games, and try to play the other otome games too.

I think I was somewhat similar. I had a strong longing for romance in real life, but actually getting close to someone felt scary and embarrassing. So I think otome games gave me a safe way to experience romance.



Especially when you're a teenager, you tend to see romance as something very pure and beautiful, don't you? Even though I knew otome games weren't the same as real life, I think their appeal was that they let me experience being treated kindly and feeling special in a safe space.

Looking back on it now, maybe it wasn't so much real romance itself that I wanted, but the feeling of being cherished by someone in that kind of way.

I really love how they voiced the characters and it feels like they really are alive <3
then I got into the art, music, scenario and now I cannot live without it (*/ω\*)

My 14 year old self just was drawn to the good looking anime men!

It was only when I grew older that the plotlines spoke deeply to my personal feelings and dreams, which made me really emotionally connected to the genre - its audience, creators, all the people that make it so magical. Now I like otome both for the hot anime men, its community (where we all share the same love) and the creative, profound titles that touch your heart deeply.

I loved reading shojo manga and watching animes around 13-14, and discovered otome games and it was like a whole new world XD. I love 2D men like many of us here 💗

Got into otome game when I watched diabolik lovers anime and chatted with friends during middle school, and they said there was a game: "There's a GAME?"

At first, it was definitely the art style that caught my attention. I've always loved anime-style artwork, so I was immediately interested. But what really made me stay was the fact that the protagonist was a woman. There are already so many games with male protagonists, so I really appreciate having games that are centered around a female main character for a change.

I like the romance elements in the Atelier series of games, and that's what sparked my interest in otome games.
I used to like RPGs, but ever since discovering otome games, I've only played them.:LOL:

In games, the worlds are usually pretty nice and a lot of the characters are like, perfect — the kind you'd hardly ever come across in real life.

What gotten me into otome games is probably the seiyuus work AND the visual (+ the stories for sum ) since i'm a huge seiyuu fan i really love listening or hearing my faves seiyuus in games,animes cte so when i first played my first otome ( without knowing it was one ) and heard tetsuya's voice i just had to get into more of his games and more otomes in general being a hugeee romantic who never experienced love…
