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.

Pacthesis dating sims! It was one of her earlier anime sim date games back when I use to be on new grounds almost daily. I started actively looking for games some time after that and ended up playing yo jin bo and then hakuoki. I’ve been obsessed with this genre since 😅

Had to look up who that was and found a nice biopic that polygon did if you're interested. From the thumbnails the games look really cute.

Thanks for sharing, this was a great read! It made me all emotional and nostalgic. And old too lol it’s been over 10 years since I first played her games.
