My very first otome game was this 18+ PC game called Under the Moon lol. Since it was my gateway game, it still holds a special place in my heart, and I find myself replaying it from time to time. Seiju is still one of my all-time favorite characters.

Hakuoki. My sister had it.

RE: alistair. I still have a notebook to write down male lead likes and dislike. I used to play it with my sister.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think it was BLACK WOLVES SAGA.It was pretty intense for a first-time playthrough.

Amnesia!!

 

[CountryBumpkin]

Mine was Starry Sky In Spring c:

 

[LittleCinnamonRoll]

Harukanaru series(4 and 5) and voltage inc games around 2020
I hopped into otomate games a years later

Date Warp and then Yo-Jin-Bo.
At that time, Alben was my favorite because I felt bad for him but right now, Linds is on top of the list for me because of how funny and charismatic he is.
I don't remember much about Yo-Jin-Bo but I really liked the violet-haired guy called Tsubaki. He was so pretty! ❤

Oh my gosh. Our first games are almost the saaaaame. For me, technically the first 'otome' game I played is Fatal Hearts(also made by Hanako Games who later made Date Warp) and then Yo-Jin-Bo. For Yo-Jin-Bo, I unfortunately don't remember the LIs now because it was so long ago, and the only thing I distinctly remember was that I panicked so hard the first time because the choices were timed. HAHAHA.

Mine was Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi on my 3ds didnt even know what a otome game was until I started playing it

I would like to to thank you a lot for creating this post (˶>⩊<˶) <3.

My first otome games would be the same as you, The Second Reproduction, and also Date Warp (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶).

Best of luck, and love <333333.

it is Garnet Cradle, I finish it with my super limited nihongo and just brute force through the vibes (*/ω＼*)
it is a very pretty game, specially the sounds, it is the game that made me obsessed with Elements Garden, and now I am a big fan of their music <3

 

[ruruchan2u]

I love Second Reproduction; Christina is a great kickass MC! My very first otome was the Heileen pirate series :3

 

[xaioblack]

kissed by the baddest bidder i still remember soryu oh and mamoru

 

[0x0]

I don't remember. I think it was Amnesia Memories?

 

[hinigarad]

Dandelion when I didn't know what it even was, Amnesia when I started looking for otome specifically

My first was also Dandelion!

 

[Henriette]

Does mobile app count? I haven't seen anyone mention this game, but my first otome game was Midnight Cinderella by CYBIRD. I love Louis so much!
I think it's a real shame that CYBIRD decided to shut the game down.

 

[ridablefishdinner]

Mine was Starry Sky ~in Spring~.

 

[mangopie]

My very first one was mystic messenger, I would constantly be on my phone during school just to be able to participate in chat rooms :) I miss Yoosung

 

[Sakata-sann]

Shall we date games but there was one I really like The Niflheim+ but I didn't even registered as an otome, it was just another mobile game, with handsome man in it. Then later with knowledge(? about VNs and otome, Starry Sky in Spring.

 

[aqueencxz]

to be completely honest its probably got to be one of those shall we date? games but what really got me into it was probably Amnesia: Memories and Mystic Messenger! there's also Hakuoki which i am replaying right now :>

 

[abby]

My first otome game is Clover no Kuni no Alice. Long long time ago.

 

[nerim-w]

Nothing hits like those money hungry mobile otome games that were impossible to complete Shall We Date Ninja Love had a chokehold on me
