Otome Games

So kbin.run is down and its admin's online presence seems to have vanished, taking [email protected] and my access to my main account @[email protected] down with it. Not sure if kbin.run and its admin will resurface, and even if they do, it is good to have a backup, so I have created [email protected].

(Why not post from the other modded account, @[email protected]? Because lemmy.zip is down for me too… wonder if it's a similar situation or just a coincidence and lemmy.zip will be back up soon.)

Somehow, when I made an earlier post for this game saying its release date was announced for March 24, 2024, I failed to realize I was writing the post several months after March 24, whoops. I also earlier had something here about them releasing later than the real date in both Japanese and English. It has been brought to my attention that is incorrect: they actually released ahead of schedule in Japanese on March 21, and I do not think I ever found their English anticipated release date.

Was so excited to finally not have to link to Twitter because I could just link to the Nintendo page for the game, until I remembered there are two separate links, one for United States of America and one for Australia and EU, and the Tweet gives you both so I had to use the Twitter link to not give bias to one set (US or AU/EU) and inconvenience the other(s). :( Citing sources is important and it is kind of annoying the source is Twitter.

$19.99 on itch.io, available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Appreciate them releasing for three different PC platforms. Free demo also on the linked itch.io page.

This looks really good so please consider backing it! If the art style looks familiar, that's because the art was made by the same studio as Save the Villainess^^

I'm really excited about this since the devs have been heavily promoting the game on the fediverse. The game itself looks very high-profile with its polished artstyle and animated sprites as well!

Tweet here, link is to official site. Scheduled to release Nov. 28, 2024 on Switch, Nov. 27, 2024 on Steam (Windows support only).

Hi Mastodon folks,
I see a lot of my posts just show up with, what is on my end, the title, the title copied over again with the hashtags I added, and the link. It totally cuts out anything I wrote in the post body. Not sure if that's intentional. But until then, you can see the post body, and other #otomegame posts I make that don't make it to Mastodon (not sure if intentional or a bug) on [email protected] (https://kbin.run/m/otomegames). Interestingly enough, my comments there federate over, and spoiler formatting that works on Lemmy and Mbin/Kbin doesn't work on Mastodon. I'll definitely have to look more into the Mastodon side of things. #otome #otomegames EDIT: Also, hi Lemmy folks. Did not realize trying to microblog to Mastodon also sent to Lemmy. With the first line as the title. Federation is fun, huh?

I have never played an otome game before, didn't even know that was a category with a name, but I very much enjoyed this game when I first played it years and years ago.

With multiple paths through the school year, determined both by romance choices and academic ones, there is a great depth to the stories of your PC's freshman year and magic school. Each playthrough takes an hour or two, and multiple passes are rewarded.

Nintendo Switch "The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom" (English ver.)
Scheduled for RELEASE!!📅✨

While the text will be in English, we will keep the original voices in Japanese🩷
