If The Successor To The Nintendo Switch Starts Selling Games For 70+ Dollars Regularly I'm Going To Throw

attempted to end my otome slump by gradually getting back into Lover Pretend and playing Makino's route that i was super excited for but THEN Homicipher came out of nowhere and ohmyGOD

Ace Attorney is great because for once the teenage girls get to be teenage girls and instead the 30 year old pathetic ass men are babygirlified to hell and back

hi have u played the transmasc reunion otome. do you want to.

i haven't, but i do want to! it's been on my list for a while lol, but i just remembered it when i saw you were posting about it - it looks really good!

Omg i had no idea they were even considering making a second one, that's cool!! I'd love to see another similar story from the same writers. I loved how the character stories all connected too, it's a really well-formed narrative! And yeah, it's not super close to ZE in a lot of ways, but I think the main point of comparison for me was the way it uses the fact that it's a video game to creatively tell its narrative. Like, using the save & sound on/off buttons in the menu to get past certain parts and realizing at the end that you could do that because you, the player, are a ghost interfering with the story who has otherworldly powers?? Amazing!! So that part reminded me a lot of both the dual screens in 999 and the flowchart's story relevance in VLR.

hi i was checking your backloggd and you have excellent taste!!! 👀❤️ we have so many games in common, i followed you for otome only but you even played paranormasight, i didn't know there was anyone around me who played it!! fghkfhgk

Omg yes I loved Paranormasight!!!

I played it back in February and I could hardly put it down! The story was so interesting and I love love love when games get creative with how they mix the gameplay and narrative elements. It reminded me a lot of Zero Escape actually, so that could be part of why I like it so much lol. It's cool to see someone else who played it! :)

As much as I love otome, I've actually been a mystery game fan for a lot longer lol so I play a lot in that genre and I love to talk about those games too!

tmgs is responsible for me thinking too hard about "wouldn't it be fun to make a game where you experience what it's like to be a video game character as another character is the protagonist trying to date you" but it's entirely because i assumed the love interests would give you their phone numbers at high enough affection so i just worked on my stats until one guy started asking my heroine out and i realized he was the protagonist to my heroine's love interest

lol that's really funny, but a totally reasonable assumption? like, it's way more normal (though significantly less fun) to get a phone number from the actual person than like, your weird little brother who stalks high school guys as a hobby or something lol.

but it's a really cute little info mechanic and i kinda love it just because it's funny~

it's cool to imagine turning the tables and not playing as the pursuer character! the concept kinda reminds me of this project:

store.steampowered.com

I Just Want to be Single!! Season One on Steam

The anti-dating sim where you make friends instead of girlfriends! Balance between heartbreak and heartache! Will you graduate without a sin

which is on my to-play list, but it's a genre twist where the mc doesn't want to date, so it's one of those "not quite dating sim" twist games.

personally, i like seeing variety in characters and in different games, so having a game where you're the one pursued sounds like a neat change of pace! (it kinda also reminds me of Hamefura lol since Kata is so unaware and all the active flirting is done by the harem 😭~ now that i think about it, that's kind of a trope i adore. loving harem pursues oblivious or uninterested girl lol)

i also love genre subversions and unique twists (especially when they're made by someone who truly loves the genre), so your idea sounds super cool!! that would be such a cute story!!! i'd love to hear more about it or play the game if you make it someday!

the desire to play unlocalized games vs the fact that i'm absolute dogshit at learning languages

edgeworth and franziska both have this weird childishness about them that totally goes against their outward appearances and it makes me so sooooo emotional like yeah edgeworth is weird about his idiot sports car he’s in his early twenties he's going to be be obsessed with a sports car. of course franziska gets grossed out when it’s suggested she split a swiss roll with him eww that’s her brother and she is NOT sharing that's GROSS! of course he's obsessed with a children's show. of course she overuses her favourite word. she’s literally a teenager. they’re literally big tall kids. waa
