Your request was very broad but I've really enjoyed "of The Devil", it's and indie courtroom mystery VN with gambling mechanics! Episode 0 is free :>

What I watched this season:

Gundam GQuuuuuux

  • This could have needed a few more episodes to flesh out the character more
  • As someone who hasn't watched all of the original Gundam stuff, I missed out on a lots of the references and was confused at a few moments
  • yuri-bait >:(
  • otherwise a very fun watch tbh

Rock is A Lady's Modesty

  • super fun throughout!

Apothecary Diaries Season 2

  • Loved the intrigue and the increased political scope this season
  • Maomao be Maomaoing

To Be Hero X

  • The animation is jaw-droppingly beautiful
  • The first episodes instantly hook you
  • The later stories didn't grab me as hard but I'm gonna watch this to the end

The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom

  • This one surprised me!
  • I was expecting a run-of-the-mill otome slop story, but what I got was a revenge-plot fuelled by sisterly love
  • Mia is best girl
  • definitely one of the better otome out there

Definitely gonna watch The Summer Hikaru Died, Dandadan 2 and the new Panty and Stocking series.

I made a top-level post but marked it as NSFW to hide a CG spoiler. Maybe thats why you didn't see it?

 

It's a stat-raising dating sim inspired by classic otome games like Tokimeki Memorial! There's also a kickstarter campaign running atm so I checked it out. Normally this should be totally my thing, but I was honestly kind of underwhelmed :/

Summary:

Pros:

  • nailed the 90s anime/otome game aesthetic
  • Music is good as well
  • Everything is pretty

Cons:

  • The love interests' sprites all share the same base
  • There are no hover sound effects in many parts of the UI :< doesn't feel tactile
  • The sprites are blurry when they are zoomed in and the demo overall lacks a little bit of polish

Story thoughtsI personally also really disliked that all of the love interests already seem to have a crush on the protagonist. The point of stat-based dating sims is that you work towards conquering your LI of choice, what's the point if they already blush during your first conversation? >:0

Has anyone else played it?

I posted on c/otomegames how I've finally managed to get a good ending (and unlock the secret route) in Vampire Knight DS!

Also, in order to support a very ambitious title like this, I gifted Hundred Line to a streamer friend and now look forward to watching them play it (since I won't have the time to play through the entire thing myself)

 

Long Live The Queen was one of my first visual novels, so I'm super excited for this 👀

It's pretty out there for an otome since you're literally being held prisoner by a stalker.

All the characters use Live2D sprites and the cinematography and UI design is absolutely fantastic. There are some things I didn't even know you could do in Live2D.

Just wish the english translation was a little better^^;

(definitely only try this if you don't mind stuff like body horror, needles and very heavy use of glitchy graphical effects, among other things. the body horror can be censored in the settings, though!)

AFAIK the demo is time limited for the otome games celebration, so if you wanna try it be quick

 

It's by a small team of indie devs from germany. I had the chance to attend a talk by the devs about its development and it looks really cool :D It's like only 6€ as well atm
