In otome games romance is literally the main goal, but in the Japanese indie otome game, Can I Not Fall for Idols? the goal is to not fall in love?! You’ve become the manager of a brand-new idol group—only to find yourself drowning in romance flags from the start! Love with idols is strictly forbidden. Can you survive this chaotic, no-love-allowed romcom—the first of its kind in the otome world!?
Japanese developer Mikimaki first released the game last year for PC, before it gained more attention for its inclusion in Steam Next Fest. Now gamers can experience the story of I Can’t Fall For Idols? on the Nintendo Switch console!

An otome game industry first (!?)—a slapstick rom-com where romance is strictly forbidden!
