As part of my 2019 refocus, I am going to start doing posts about upcoming otome games in addition to reviews. Mostly because I have a hard time remembering games exist. I used to put release dates on my planner calendar but I have so much going on in my life now that I don’t have room to put that stuff anymore! D:
Admittedly, when Intragames announced a delay I was like maybe in a month or so… but then I get an e-mail saying NON-NON! It is out TODAY! YASSSSSSSSSSSS it came as a shock but it’s HERE!!
BUY HERE ON STEAM (not an affiliate link)
To celebrate the official launch, they’re offering a 10% discount from March 12th to April 12th.
Not only do you get a discount, but if you buy within the launch window you also get WALLPAPERS! LOOK THAT IS SOMETHING I FIND EXCITING, OKAY? THIS IS A NO-JUDGE ZONE
The game definitely has me intrigued. It was previously released on the Playstation VITA last summer. I purchased it, but I haven’t gotten a chance to get to it. I KNOW, I KNOW, BAD MARVELLE! But I actually prefer PC so this is absolutely PERFECT!
Now look, they had me at OTOME GAME but I guess I should look up and see what the game is actually about
Shaped like a crescent moon, the remote town of Okunezato is shrouded in dark
myths and legends. Following the disappearance of her brother, Ichiko ventures to
Okunezato with her childhood friend, Hino. They find the area rife with mystery and
populated by intriguing characters, each harboring their own hidden motivations.
Encounter heart-racing twists and turns as you dig deeper into the mystery and use
your detective skills to solve this challenging interactive puzzle. Players can explore
multiple character paths and change the course of the story as it plays out against
beautifully illustrated environments with dynamic background effects.
Should I be excited I get to solve a mystery or scared? The snippet sounds intense!

Screens:
Revival??? Sounds like MURDER Continue to do something to remain here…. hmmm, reincarnation? Purgatory? Just from this one screen I already need to know more!
First of all, the heroine looks super pretty I wonder who the dude in the mask will be? He kinda looks cross-eyed
He looks like he’s moving to me
But look at the blood on his cheek! Plus Miss Heroine is crying… I wonder what happened?
Hoooooooo boy there’s that masked cross-eyed kitty again and he’s next to what looks like an officer…. I wonder if the police can be trusted? Scary!
That line of dialogue…errrrmmmm… that’s a pretty casual way to say that someone possibly died….
Hospital, stating someone’s awake…hmm…. what’s going on here? On another note, I’m not too fond of the shota/young boy romances, so I hope this one doesn’t skeeve me out too much.
What do you guys think? It sounds pretty damn cool to me. I love mysteries and solving them. I hope there are some puzzles in the game too.
The artwork looks super nice too. I admit I am biased for pretty pictures
Well, it’s already out, but I’m currently reviewing Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly so it’ll have to wait! That gives me an excuse to go through Black Butterfly as fast as possible
