What's your very first Otome game?

Prob either Amnesia or X Note. I can't remeember. I really liked the idea of psychic powers in X Note

My first one was Amnesia Memories on PC, I first discovered otome in 2017. I've played several otome since then but Amnesia will always be my #1, no matter what other people think of it. If it weren't for that game being ported to PC I would never have known otome was a thing, much less a whole fandom. ^^"

I like all that is related to fantasy (books, games) so I stumbled on the Otome term while searching for romance mods for Baldur Gate 2 (back in 2016) . My opinion is that even if its an RPG game it is a bit weird to finish an entire game without developing "relationships" with your party members. I mean in the game world you are risking life and limb for an epic quest and at the end your party has very little to talk about. But I digress, so here I was looking at various mods when someone mentioned the Otome games. I did not know what the term meant then so I searched again and I stumbled upon Hakouki and I thought why not give it a try. I mean it had almost everything I like (sword battles, demons). The first route I played was Okita (I don't know, in this role Morikubo Shotaro sounds like a big cat :) and it was so interesting listening to him). I did not know Japanese back then so you can say I like listening to him.
In the Hakouki however I fell in love with Kazama route and when I read about the Drama CD I started looking for a drama CD with Tsuda Kenjiro and my first Drama CD was Kurayami Gatari Youen Ibun. That one was scary :)
You can say that Otome Games were the last catalyst for me to start learning Japanese.

My very first otome game was My Candy Love, I play it since 2017 but abandoned it soooo many times, I finished HSL only this year lol
As for the not online ones, I think my first was Diabolik Lovers and I loved every second of it. Thinking about it, it's very strange that the first vn that made me fall in love with otome game world is the one I now hate the most...
