I saw this outfit on Pinterest and i immediately thought of Lynette from cupid parasite 💕🍓
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
men crying men bleeding men whimpering so on and so forth
if the successor to the nintendo switch starts selling games for 70+ dollars regularly i'm going to throw up
FINALLY
I've been working on this damned update since march 2021 I really hope yall like it 😭
You can now meet ALL five love interests in this first official 'episode' of the game and there's
50,000+ words. (It. is. massive.)
180+ dialogue choice trees.
Animated CGs.
You can even get achievements for petting your cat.
Do you want to save the day and impress everyone with your might and wit and skill? Or do you prefer being an absolute menace who fist fights their mentor in his office and sets fire to fan mail? Why not both?
I been solo funding this project out of pocket for half a decade and I'm not going anywhere until its DONE; if you like the game, pls consider sharing with your friends, hyping it up on social media, or supporting me on Ko-Fi~
Herotome is completely free to play. It comes with a walkthrough if you tip (or have ever spent) 2.99$ or more on the itch.io page, but you shouldn't need a walkthrough to beat the game.
Have fun!!!
Proper link to the demo will be in a reblog so tumblr doesnt nuke this post from search engines XOXO
saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him
Hey hey, everyone! My name is Wren, and welcome to Otome Detective!
Currently Playing: Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side: First Love Plus ~ Click here to view my Game Collection on Backloggd <3
I originally made this blog to talk about otome games only, but I had a rather long otome slump this year, during which I played the entirety of Persona 5 Royal (and a lot of Persona 3 Portable before the Akihiko social link made me start to miss my otome games again lol) so I'd love to talk about other games too, especially in the rpg & mystery genres!
If you'd like to read my about page, you can do so here.
If you'd like to read my thoughts on being an aromantic otoge player, check out this post here.
I plan to eventually write and share my personal reviews of certain otome games and routes, so stay tuned for that!
obsessed with them <3
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:
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!
my favourite fun fact is just that like. the handicraft club almost never lets you meet a love interest or best friend so the main reason people play it is just because, if you stick with the handicraft club for three years, there's a unique scene where you head out on the runway in a wedding dress and your love interest blushes madly over it lmao.
ohmygod???? that's literally so cute omg i'm 100% gonna have to play for that scene at some point~ it's super cool that there's hidden scenes like that omg
i'm already so excited about replaying this game and i'm still on my first route lmao
I'm Wren! I like otome games, rpgs, and mysteries! Feel free to reach out, as I'd love to chat! :)
