The devs knew what they were doing 😏 #indiegame #otome #datingsim #teachersLP Bark Bark 🐶 I love when otome games have the most unhinged choices... 😏 Can I Not Fall for Idols is funnier than it has any right to be (but between you and me, Issa more than earned that slap) Happy Otome Release Day! Homura The Crimson Warriors is officially out! I'm still pretty early on in the story, but I'm working towards either Saizo or Sasuke's routes. Sasuke is giving kuudere/tsun vibes and Saizo is a walking read flag... and I 100% believe I can fix them. Jest Messters is a mystery rom-com otome game where you're cursed by a jester to make cringey dad jokes! Uncover the truth behind your curse and romance 4 quirky suitors! The character design in Baldur's Gate 3 is TOP TIER! (Yes all the men in my party are in their undies... mama likes her eye candy) I think my otome husband might be a yandere... 🤔 I was playing @littlesnakestudio.official's House of Petals and IDK, Han is giving Toma vibes. Jest Messters is the punniest otome! I was playing the demo for Under Heaven or Hell... and I noticed something interesting about Zane's sprite design 🤔
