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.

“Walking simulator” actually is a term for a genre, not just a derogatory term to toss at games you don’t like.

They’re mostly movement and environmental interaction, often without elements such as combat, puzzles, or even a win/lose scenario. (Taken off Wikipedia)

I hate them, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad. They’re just not to my taste.
