But what exactly is Otome, you ask? Well, Otome is a genre of visual novel games that typically feature a strong female protagonist and a cast of attractive male characters for players to romance.

Hetero dating sim with 8 love interests across both genders. Superb graphics. Mostly cozy and relaxing with attractive LIs until a late-game horror twist. Excellent value for money.
Dee Odd Games launched their Kickstarter for their upcoming Otome game, GIVE/TAKE. The team of Otome Lovers also interviewed Dee about their new game and learned about other fun and interesting information in regards to game development and their process.
Elysium Heights offers polished visuals and an engaging start, but its early promise fades as the narrative shifts focus, leaving its potential as a unique, female-centered story unrealized.


Mostly gentle school-based GxB otome with adult leading characters in their 30s and 40s. Five LIs, heaps of story, plus free DLC with half as much again. Nicely engaging, good value.
Short and enjoyable Otome set in a fantasy world. Can you fulfil the heroine’s wish before Spooky Moon festival? Not everyone can be trusted, and love can be dangerous.
A fun and cheesy romance-comedy with a male and female love interest. Lots of short stories, sweet and spicy, however lacks romantic build-up.

Elysium Heights offers polished visuals and an engaging start, but its early promise fades as the narrative shifts focus, leaving its potential as a unique, female-centered story unrealized.
A heavily flawed implementation of a VN with exclusively AI art which contains a beautifully written story with feels and loveable characters. Lots of issues, but the reward is there to be had.


Text only life simulator with a wealth of choices offering replay value for several life experiences. Room for expansion but a solid offering for the price.
It’s Not You, It’s M.E tries to show the frustration and exhaustion of having ME/CSF via a video game. Its use of generative AI, minuscule playtime, and lackluster gameplay makes it not worth buying.


AMEN 11 11 goes beyond a simple hidden object game through its use of skin-crawling drawings, haunting melodies, and unspoken story. Highly recommended to fans of the genre who can stomach its art.
Hidden Tomatoes 3 is the third in the series and a quick, free-to-play game to pass some time, fun for gamers of all ages.
Cats love to have fun and play and what is even more fun is finding cats who are having fun in 100 Hidden Cats: Playground. A great game for the younger gamers.
