Mine was cinderella phenomenon. I have no recollection of how I stumbled across it. I was obsessed with Ouran high school host club as a teen so it probably looked intriguing to me as second time I'd seen a "reverse harem" on a cover. I played the entire thing within a single weekend. Then... I didn't play another otome game until Piofiore came out on the switch. No idea why I didn't. I vaguely recall not being able to find any other free games that were of similar quality, but I was an adult when Cinderella Phenomenon came out so it's not like I couldn't buy things online.

Anyway, like many others I bought a ton of switch games during the pandemic and one of those was Piofiore; I've been playing otome ever since.

I always thought it was funny, even when I was little, that a site for art was just straight-up calling its users deviants. Not talking about the site title DeviantArt so much as that they actually did refer to its users that way, in the same vein a Reddit user is a Redditor and a car user is a driver. I got it on the level of “artist, yeah, nonconforming is a Big Thing for creatives, they’re deviants from the norm” but it still felt funny that the website would use that word full of negative connotations as the same word for its users. Thanks for the insult lol
