Otome Games
Rules
- Please stay on-topic: post about otome games. Otome games are romance games aimed at women who want to romance men. For the purposes of this community, games with female love interests (LIs) count as long as it isn't mostly female LIs: men should be at least half of the LI options. Note that you do not have to be a straight woman to post: people outside the target demographic play too, and you are welcome here. Amare games will be allowed given how small the community on the Fediverse is for it, and how they overlap with otome, but if the community starts to overwhelmingly have non-otome amare posts I reserve the right to change this rule and redirect those posts to a new amare community.
- In an effort to keep this community more discussion-based, please only post fanart and the like if you made the art yourself. Your own fanart, cosplays, etc. are very welcome.
- Don’t be a jerk.
3a. No bigotry or discrimination. This includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
3b. Be respectful of other peoples’ tastes. You may absolutely despise an LI and want to discuss it, and that’s fine. Casting negative aspersions on or directly insulting people who love that LI is not fine. What we find interesting in fiction does not always directly translate to real-life desires.
- Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
- Tag any NSFW content as such. If you are not sure whether to tag it that way, err on the side of caution and tag.
- Please indicate spoilers. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.

If there's about four new posts here weekly, don't post a progress update weekly—we don't want self-promotion overwhelming the community. But we do want to inform people of new otome and dev updates are cool, so do post them here every once in awhile! I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I'll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.

My desire to support otome with more… gameplay? more to do than just selecting dialogue choices? wars with the artstyle also not being my cup of tea and my dislike for gacha. I sucked it up for Pokémon Masters but that is also quite playable as a F2P without giving my entire life to the game. How is Love and Deepspace when it comes to that aspect?
Glad to hear the writing is good.
It has all the standard gacha features, you unlock more content/stories with a LI by collecting their cards and stuff. So far the UI is less annoying than in other gacha games, you get greeted by less pop-ups telling you to buy stuff and the notification symbols are less prominent (this is one point that really grinds my gears with most gachas, all the big red dots telling you to check 100 different menus). The production quality is very high! So high in fact, that my poor phone can barely play it on the lowest settings 🥲 .
What I like about the plot is that the MC (at least from what I've seen) is more of a strong-willed action heroine who fights side-by-side with the LIs.
I'm still at the very start so I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase where everything is easy and you don't need to grind. I'll report back later when I've seen more
That's great! As much as I enjoy MCs who are not exactly action heroines, I feel a game with, you know, action, should probably have an MC who participates in the action. Although I would absolutely take an MC who gives you the mission report and debriefs, so long as she was competent. I have always found those characters cool.
Thank you for being willing to report back later, that would be so helpful!
