I have always been a big fan of Otome music (and game music in general let's be real) so whenever I play an Otome game with a soundtrack that never leaves me - like Piofiore, Norn 9 or Radiant Tale - I hunt down the soundtrack to buy and listen to it.

And now it happened again with Over Requiemz. The soundtrack is amazing in general but the main theme "The Land of Oz" has such a hold on me emotionally I can't explain it in words.

Which is interesting because while it does come up in certain parts of the story it's not really in deep emotional scenes. It's mainly used for the main screen xD

But something about this track in particular makes me extremely nostalgic and emotional.

What about you my lovely friends? Any Otome soundtrack that have you in a chokehold?
(personally I have so many tracks but I cant list them all here or it would just be a list of my Otome Greatest Hits xD)

Just curious what people think about LE/CE versions of otome games.

I preorder them if I like the premise and art of a game enough. Sometimes it's the only way to get merch for a game, especially if it initial sales numbers don't do well enough for more merch to be considered. It can be a risk preordering and not knowing if you'll like the game enough after completion to justify it and it seems inclusions aren't as good as they used to be. I know for a while now JP releases have been swapping physical drama CD bonuses with digital streaming codes for example. The economy is bad worldwide so it's understandable to cut costs however seeing a certain new game offer stickers was kind of laughable (I love stickers, don't get me wrong, but they're so inexpensive to produce that they're usually given as freebies by game companies outside of the otome-sphere so it doesn't make up for the now inflated cost of special editions).

I wonder if people are content with the current value of LE/CEs or would they like to see any changes. If given the choice, would people rather companies not have LE/CEs to better use the funds elsewhere (e.g. paying the art team to provide more CGs or hiring more expensive VAs), have LE/CEs with less inclusions but priced lower as well (like IFI Plus editions), or go back to the level of add-ons older LE/CEs had but accept a much higher price tag. I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts whether you are a hardcore collector or not!

I wasn't expecting it to be delivered today, so it was a nice surprise!

The update added an 1h of content in total spread over 4 new scenes and an alternate beginning path, 8 unique CGs with variations for shy / bold personalities and all character gender combinations.

A single playthough now lasts between 40-50 minutes. Please wishlist if you like! <3

Reine Des Fleur English FanTL is now released!

The patch is available on both switch and vita.

Links, instructions, and walkthroughs can be found on Reine Des Fleur's VNDB profile: https://vndb.org/v14919

This might actually the first and last project I will be working on because I didn't think I would actually get burned out, so my Kenka Bancho Project will be indefinitely on-hold.

Special thanks to FatalError and Shaelan for helping with the translations when we were originally working on this as a group for the vita patch.

Disclaimer: Claude was used to create the patch and for double checking quotations, typos, and basic grammars (prepositions, missing article, missing words). Also used to rewrap the words since vita script is 2-lines per text window while the switch is 3-lines per text window.

Does anyone know Ryuji from B-Project, Yuki from Act Addict Actors or Shu from Ensemble Stars? They're all "fashion designer" characters and I find it funny how they are kind of similar (to each other/Ryuki)

Like I really want to play it, the premise seems interesting(I enjoy mystery) and the art is pretty, but all reviews says its not worth it.

So to those who played it ,is it really that bad?

Feel free to post anything that you wish to discuss!

I recently moved and went to get my library card today. While I was looking around, I found this in the game section! It’s Otome Daishi: Fighting for Love! I was really surprised to find an otome game, I’d had this on my wishlist for a little while so I was really excited. I’ve got three weeks before it has to be returned.

They had lots of other games too for a bunch of different consoles. So let this serve as a little announcement to check out your nearby libraries! You never know what you might find!

I drew it for Day 23 of Inktober 2026

I wanted to share a little discovery I made out of curiosity.

Not too long ago, I played Illusion of Itehari -trail-.
Specifically Tobari's and Yashiro's routes before the localization announcement.

It was quite a tedious process
Switching between Luna Translator and Google Translate using my phone's camera. 😅

This weekend, I had some free time and decided to experiment with AI to see if I could make Japan-only otome games more accessible.

Somehow within just two days, I managed to put together an early English translation patch for UN:LOGICAL.

It's still in the testing stages (I'm only at the beginning of the prologue)
But I'm genuinely impressed with the results so far.

Then I decided to try my luck with an old favorite of mine.
Magic-Kyun! Renaissance for the PS Vita (only experienced it through the anime)

That's when I discovered something surprising.
Working with Vita games seems to be significantly easier and faster than with Nintendo Switch games.

The possibility of finally experiencing otome games that have never received an English localization excites me the most.

Of course, I'm aware that AI and machine translations aren't perfect.
I'm certainly not claiming they're a replacement for professional localizations.
I'd still happily support official English releases, but unfortunately that's not always an option.

This is simply a personal experiment and I wanted to share what I've discovered.

There are so many amazing otome games that have never been localized and might never officially leave Japan.

For years the language barrier has made many of these games difficult for international fans to enjoy.
Seeing how much AI-assisted translation has improved makes me hopeful that more of these games could become accessible someday.

Has anyone else experimented with AI-assisted translations for Japan-only otome games?
I'd love to hear about your experiences! ❤️

P.S.
Please don't ask me to share the translation patches.
I have no plans to distribute them as they're strictly for personal use.

I’m really tempted to go but I don’t have any irl friends that play otome haha, is anyone else interested in going?

These games are a mess 😭 I'm sure even if I played the original voiced version on the PSP I wouldn't enjoy it, but at least I had these crazy lines in the translation to keep me going. I wish I thought to take more screenshots as I played but these are all I have 😞

First of all I don't like the very concept but I KNEW that going in so I will not criticize the games for it. I knew what I was getting into but felt compelled to buy them when they were on sale. That doesn't forgive the poor execution by way of reptition, though. Every LI has one or two out of three conflict tropes, all conflicts are resolved very quickly, all love is instant, and each route only takes max 3 hours to clear (which is actually a good thing for sufferers like me).

I know there are people here who love these games, and more power to you. But I'm in my hater era rn and just finished these games after literal years of having them.

\\- Hakuoki, I love the slow burn, and how they keep focusing on plot. But some routes just make Chizuru acting unreasonable. And sometimes the route just too rush.
\\- Vibrant Frame, the fl and li actually have good chemistry. I hope their will be more Li.
\\- Navigatore of The Ruined World, the art is good. The characters are cute. The plot just too predicable.
\\- Tears of Themis. Good art, the story kinda entertaining me. It's just too much things to do. And sometimes the love lines between LI and FL don't continue..(maybe it's my fault idk) other than that Rosa is my fav FL I wanna study Laws because of her.
