i uninstalled a few games from my phone today and decided to look for some old ones i used to enjoy 🙏🙏 one of them is the choices app!!

most of the game's art these days is just ai-generated, and it sucks :((( but i still feel nostalgic for some of the older stories, like the cursed heart and immortal desires. btw, i would love an otome game just like tch 💚💚

牧場物語/Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon + Rune Factory games are some of the games I liked which aren't strictly labeled as otome. You can date cute guys and have a family with them on the farm you own. For a more VN related game with some romance, Fata Morgana is great.

Touken Ranbu, especially with these recent new characters that are bangers after bangers. Unji is peak character design for me, and Futasujihi is also really hot and was a massive hit (his fanarts were everywhere and with high likes to add). And the voice actors are so nice too, lesser known/newcomer voice actors are getting more role recently which is refreshing.
Some of the old characters are really good too, and I'm pretty sure any voice actor you can think of, most of the time he is in the game.

To Eat a God! Even though it's still in development, I really liked the bit of story released so far. I hope the full game comes out soon.

You Made This House a Home and The Freak Circus are also very good VNs; they aren't perfect, but they're great for passing the time and playing casually.

P3P and Potionomics! Heavy on P3P! I was so sad to find out atlus wasnt remaking Female Mc and her content. I adore Ryoji and Shinjiro so much.

Atlus basically pretends Kotone doesn't exist ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ On the other hand, Kotone fans are amazing; they're even creating a mod to put her in the game

Baldur's Gate 3 partly because I find the guys there to be cute goofballs, and I love RPGs and the sheer vastness of the world; I'm actually thinking of doing another playthrough because I miss it. XD Another one not exactly an otome, but one I really like is that RPG Maker game called Witch's Heart. As far as I recall, it has some romance elements and even separate routes for the guys, though I can't remember if the game is finished or not.

P3P ofc it's my first game that I thought it's otome game but it's not and bc of their games I really enjoyed what Atlus made and found more otome game.

Also some of joseimuke with female MC that somehow ppl got confused is it also otome or not (can't blame them bc I also thought IDOLiSH7 was an otome game at first) and the other joseimuke game that I recently hype are BLACKSTAR -theater starless- I knew the script writer have written stories for otome games so I can feels the story "it's otome" when read card stories for each characters (especially their Bridal talks but you need to participate in the ranking event to unlock one of your favorite characters' bridal talk), and 18TRIP altho they have an option to choose between male/female MC (btw they're siblings) so the interactions with other characters still same but my otome radar can't stop when see female MC interact with other characters 😉

I love Harvest moon, Fire emblem, P3P, and princess maker also!
And the primary reason I played them is you can date or marry someone..but because they aren't technically otome game, the romance is very small portion and I always crave more :cry:

Oh my god BG3 is easily THE best game of the decade or even century. I lost count of how many runs of the game I've done because there were too many. In my opinion, the story is not in any ways innovative or spectacular but it was the journey that mattered.
Such a shame wotc fumbled their IP that badly. Anyways, I'm so excited to see what Larian is gonna do with the new Divinity and have high hopes that they surpasses BG3 just like how it surpassed DOS2.

Rune Factory 4 Special.
The Mass Effect series.
Fire Emblem Awakening and Three Houses.
Avalon Code.
Tales of Berseria.
Star Ocean The Second Story.
All of these have intriguing characters and amazing storylines and it's always a joy to return to them! ❤

Adding to the RPG pile, Owlcat Games actually does romance really well! I was obsessed with Daeran in Pathfinder: Wotr.

I also have a huge soft spot for farming RPGs, and I've played a lot of them. I'm currently playing Halcyon days in taoyuan and the marriage candidates are all really cute so far!

Dragon Age: Origins and Baldur's Gate 3 are some of my favorite games. They may not be otome games, but I love that they have romance, and that the choices I make can change the NPCs' fates and even influence the world around them.

I like *Zill O'll ~infinite Plus*.
It's a fun game where you can choose between a male or female protagonist, and depending on the player's actions, your relationships with your allies and the fate of the nation can change dramatically. The characters are also very charming.

I love the Persona series! You can freely plan your daily schedule – work, study, fight, etc. – or chat with supporting characters and build relationships.
The fourth installment(P4G), in particular, is incredibly fun and fulfilling. The characters are very unique, and the bonds of friendship and family are strong. The protagonist and those around him lead exciting lives, creating various memorable holidays. It's a lot of fun to play.:giggle:

我喜歡女神異聞錄系列,可以每天自由安排行程,打工學習或戰鬥,或是找配角聊天等等.
尤其第4部(P4G)非常歡樂充實,角色都很有個性,友情與親情羈絆深厚,男主角和他身邊所有人生活精彩,並製造各種節日美好回憶,玩起來非常開心.:giggle:

I've loved Dragon Age for a good time, was very disappointed in Veilguard... I also enjoyed Mass Effect.

BG3 was my top played game 2 years in a row. I had a problem when that game came out. Non stop playing all hours of the day.
I've tried to get into Divinity 2 but it's a little harder to get into imo
