Why did you start playing otone ganes?

[fasdfsda5235]

In my case, out of curiosity. I love games and I like to try out new things so I said why not? Let's give it a try! Et voilà!

What about you?

I stumbled across one randomly and installed it because of the art and that it promised romance.

In my case it was completely random, I didn't even know the genre, but I thought the game cover was beautiful. And here I am to this day, having tried a little bit of every game genre has been worth it.

Because I like reading interesting stories, and vn is basically a book, but it also has sound and graphics and hot guys, which is even better

Initially, I just wanted to play some relaxing games that don't require much effort. Then I slowly realized that these visual novel style PPT games are actually super enjoyable — perfect for lazy people like me.(∂ω∂)

Mostly after " Love and Deepspace" ads. I really liked Sylus and thought he was a evil love interest lol.

My friend in college recommended one to me

I started playing otome games without knowing it was otome games, since I've always been a fan of visual novels i, one day see on steam a game named amnesia memories for cheap and bought it and i started really liking the game and the whole experience of picking choices and having different routes with different characters, i later started getting more n more into this genre before i notice that i have played many of them in the past when i was still just a kid ( like StarrySky )

Around when Amnesia was new on Steam, I believe. That was how I started. I already knew what visual novels were at the time, and I liked the idea of female protagonist. Felt almost like a "genderbend" of galge to me, as I wasn't familiar with "otome" as a genre.

i love romance!!! (♡°▽°♡)
i have loved reading romance stories as a wittle baby in elementary school and they were always my favorite movies back then so it just naturally game to progress from there.

i'm positive fanfiction and quizzes led me from anime to other characters where it eventually came from an otome. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) there's also the point of a lot of older handheld games targeted to younger girls always seemed to have a love interest or flirty side characters as a segue into the creature i've become.

I came across a gameplay video and the genre piqued my interest, so I delved into this world haha

 

[lyrevega]

I was in search of ways to fullfill my loneliness and i always liked fictional men so i just ended here hahaha

 

[甘味鎮痛剤]

It's good emotional comfort.Every otome game gives me a different experience — I get to be a different version of myself in each one. The boys are so handsome and fulfill all my romantic fantasies. They're really just wonderful.

At a flea market, I managed to buy a pirated cd version YojinBo. It was a time where the internet was still prepaid cards and dial up. I had no idea it was called an otome game. But i played it and enjoyed it so much. I wanted to play another game like that , but during that time piracy crackdown was so aggressive, no flea market seller dared to sell bootleg copies on events anymore. Fast forward years later during my uni days, livejournal was very much alive and someone posted a patch for Starry Sky. The thrill of a romance focused choose your own ending game rekindled. The rest is history.
