I love listening to OSTs and BGMs! I get attached to BGMs during gameplay, even if I don't like the melody that much before playing... And many otome OSTs, especially older ones, are done in this aristocrat? japanese-gothic? music style, which I loveeeee

I'm ok with linear plots, but when they're explicitly stated as such... It's kind of like reading a book and can be fun🤔 It depends on my mood, though, and also on the execution of the said plot. With choice-less choices sometimes the devs want you to play a very specific version of the story...

I really like decorative merch, since I tend to get fixated on certain sprites or illustrations... Maybe it's my 2d idol fan past speaking😭 I love pretty badges and standees, also postcards, shikishi and all the other paper-cardboard stuff...! Other than that, I collect artbooks; sometimes I can...

Title: 家に帰ると知らない男の子が眠っていた件 / Ie ni Kaeru to Shiranai Otokonoko ga Nemutteita Ken Release date: 2019/07/27 Developer/Publisher: Kanna Artist: CHARON Vndb: https://vndb.org/v63445 The developer warns that the game contains violence. A spin-off of Chizome no Hana. Playing Chizome no Hana first is...

they don't bother me that much! i usually don't go looking for spoilers, and if i see them by accident, i forget them VERY soon😔 i once started watching an anime, spoiled myself about one character dying, laughed A LOT about it with a friend.. a bit later that character became my favorite and i...

i'm a pc only player, so i'm really happy when i don't have to fight to death with emulators (especially switch ones... yuzu forks can't run many new games and ryujinx doesn't support my windows version ugh) on the other hand, game ports can be done soooo halfheartedly, especially for older...

It happened too many times actually😭 I see a cute character, go check the source and he's a background dude/main villain/heroine's dad uncle grandson, idk... Thinking about Mael and Rune from even if TEMPEST

I, as many others, prefer 2D games. I love different artstyles and creative decisions that are much harder to achieve even with animefied 3D, even the kind of wonky anatomy like that in, idk, Amnesia - 3D is most often polished to the point of losing this charm... And realistic 3D usually...

i don't think that i've seen otomes where a character i dislike would make me skip the game, the route though? easily. plot points, though, can make me completely turn away from games or even developers if they overuse tropes that make me uncomfortable (looking at succulent's games for...

for me it's always a separate character! i'm a BxG fangirl, but i don't really want to participate😔 and when the heroine is a blank slate type, i sometimes like to come up with bits of her character and dynamic with LIs that don't go against the story but i think could be interesting (or even...

i'm easy, i often go for the good ending first to get that sweet serotonin, then if i have the willpower and time i read the rest😔 and it hurts me each time and i never learn lol. maybe it's a sign to change the strategy...

in most cases i think honorifics should be left as they are if the story is set in japan (as it was previously mentioned, most vns are pretty niche so people reading are familiar with japanese culture at least a little), ooorrrr they can be replaced with something fitting🤔 maybe that's because...

Thank you!!! I love love love Absolute Castaway!

actually i kinda agree with your thoughts on this topic, at least in some way! sorry in advance if my response comes off as preachy or something, its absolutely not my goal, love&peace!!! i think non-generative ai can be used to lessen workload in some completely technical aspects that dont...

its an instant dealbreaker for me, tbh. if its a game produced by a large company, they have money and ask for more money to play their games. if they cant hire real artists, what are we paying for? if its a work of an indie developer... ai art is noticeable. its not consistent, its not that...
