Holding Game Developers Accountable for Half-Hearted Representation: Thoughts on Ertal Games’s Apology & Reflexion

January 16, 2023August 10, 2025

As a content creator I’m often approached by developers and publishers who want me to cover their game or product on my various social media platforms. They’ll send me a game with the understanding that I’ll play it and cover it as Blerdy Otome. Most of the time, these are…

In the year of our lord 2022, at a time when otome gamers have been blessed with more otome localizations than we can feasibly play, otome fans are still having to prove that there is a demand for otome games in the West. What’s worse is this new wave of…

The idea is to produce informative content about otome games that both…

To Be the MC or Not To Be the MC: How Do You Otome?

March 12, 2016August 10, 2025

Before reading this post, it’s important to answer one simple question: What exactly is an otome game? Generally speaking, otome games (shortened to otoge) are “story based video games that are targeted towards a female audience” (wiki). Typically, the plots of these games focus on fostering a romantic relationship between…

When a man is so fine you forget how to read... Just finished playing Road to Empress I and oh boy was that a ride. I got more game over ends than I can count and the normal ends are lowkey my favorites. But, one thing has been a constant, my love for Li Tai... that man lives rent free in my head and I can't wait to see him again in Road to Empress II on Friday! That shirt is putting in WORK! I recently played the demo for @azurextwilight.games's Low Effort Romance and our Ken doll boyfriend Owen is vacuum sealed in his clothes... not that I'm complaining! So I started playing Tomodachi Life... and apparently March's rizz was too strong. #tomodachilife Seven Sundays is MESSY! Firefighter Taeyang was ghosted by his first love Jiwan exactly 8 years ago (trust me it's relevant). Fate brings them back together  and Taeyang is ready to finally get some answers... but  nothing could prepare him for the revelation that Jiwan has a whole kid. And that's not all his son is the same age as their break up and Jiwan's messy ass had the audacity to name his son Taeyang... M-E-S-S-Y! So... I finally played the demo for A Date With Death 2, and I really vibe with 0204. I think he may be my new babygirl. The Fields of Mistria announcement had me and @blackbelleflower going absolutely feral! Did you see my MAN in his wedding fit?! I am so ready for August 5th!! Just feeding my cute pet~ 💖 I may have enjoyed this too much...
