Slice-of-life, followed by fantasy... Preferably I'd like to wind down with some fluffy otome game after a hard day of work

Slice of Life > Historical Fantasy > Detective.
Don't get me wrong, I love solving some murder mystery cases but there are times that I just want to shut my brain off and play a good otome where I do not have to think haha.

I think my ranking would be Fantasy > Mystery > Slice of Life. I don't know, I just seem to gravitate more towards things that are a bit more outside my reality of some sort? Like fantasy and historical otome games. And the mystery side comes from me liking Ace Attourney, Danganronpa, professor layton sort of games haha anything that has to do with mystery I tend to like a lot

I really like slice of life with a hint of drama setting ! I'm more gravitated towards things that easy to digest with some spices here and there
I can play History or Fantasy setting but it's not really my favorite cuz it's much more lore heavy and i can't play much game anymore in one sitting, so by the time i went back to the game i already forgot about half of the lore

I like all of the genres mentioned, but fantasy is one of my favorite. As for slice of life, I usually read it when I want to relax and turn my brain off

Fantasy, Historical, Historical-Fantasy or Slice of life-Fantasy. Pure slice of life when I want to relax to the fullest.
A historical vibe in otome is awesome, but I don't see it a lot. I would especially like to find historical rpg games where choices matter.

I like mystery and horror-inspired settings! But I do enjoy a good historical/fantasy otome as well. Slice of life is nice too, especially with a bit of drama! Haha

I like slice-of-life games the most. But I also like fantasy and detective stories. Personally, I'd like to play games from all different genres.

My go-to genres are fantasy > slice of life > mystery > and historical fiction, in that order!
I mean, I love mysteries because they're so immersive and fun, but sometimes it just gets exhausting having to use my brain so much, haha. And historical fiction can be a bit much with all the complex terminology. That's why I find myself leaning way more toward fantasy and slice of life!

My top genres are fantasy, horror, slice of life (with a lot of dramas lmao), and mystery. I generally love otome games that delve into darker genres. Steampunk as well. My least favorite is historical fiction (tho i'd still play it if it's interesting), the story can be difficult to follow through when you're not familiar with the terminology and context.
