Hi there, guys and gals! Otome time again! This week I bring you some interesting titles I found in Kickstarter. If we can support Sekai Project, why not support some indie companies that need the money to release their projects? Well, this time I'm showing only project that were 100% funded already, so let's support them after the release, shall we? All of the following have demos, so we'll know what to expect. Here's my selection:

 

The Masquerade Killer

DEMO ON ITCH.IO

A mystery game set in the Victorian era. Here, the main character wants to solve a murder while attempting to blend into the upper-class society of London! How glamorous, hm? The MC is supposedly cold and lacks empathy, so it'll be interesting to see how she'll warm up to the love interests. Speaking of them, the game features four options: two boys, one girl and one non-binary, so everyone can be happy! The game is expected to be released in February 2018.

DEMO (ALPHA) ON ITCH.IO

A game about an university student who loves her friends and coffee (wait, is this about me???). MC settles her new life in a new city and it's your job to decide what she should do in her free time! Judging by what I'm seeing, choose to work to catch your pretty boys! It's your good old status rising VN. Apparently it will feature friendship routes as well, and it will be three boys and two girls!
 

Zodiac Axis

DEMO ON THE GAME'S SITE

According with the developers, Zodiac Axis is a fusion of suspense, romance, and supernatural fiction with a splash of psychological horror. The sprites, the background and the UI are all pretty nice!!! And they're promising us 50+ hours of gameplay. Wow! The game features five guys and loooooots of choices. Damn... I hope a walkthrough will be available... The game is expected to be released in November 2019 (well, the game is pretty long...).
 

Silent Voices

Yes, It would be dangerous bc I wouldn't want to spread your cuteness to common peasants, but I would gladly accept a robot hero here...

DEMO ON ITCH.IO

This is the one I'm following for the longest time >.< Everything about it is just so cool! It's a sci-fi game about a war between two countries, and everyone living in them is a victim either of the dark experiment the government is funding or the widespread prejudice. The game features two protagonist, one that you'll control and use to pick your love interests (that, btw, are all INCREDIBLY CUTE!) and the other for you to see what's happening in the enemy country. A very interesting approach! Also, the routes are tied to a pair of characters, instead of only your love interest. Meaning, you can only end up with one, but you get TWO characters worth of backstory and importance! It have four boys and one girl as love interests! And did I mentioned that this game will be FREE??? The initial release date was set to December 2017, but even if it's delayed I'll wait patiently.

 

And that's it, folks! I had a lot of fun writing this post, so I'm thinking of doing the BL version next! ^.^ Until then!

The Masquerade Killer looks quite interesting IMHO, I actually have the previous game by that developer, AIRIS, on the top of my to-read list - also quite a unique looking thing, but mostly overlooked, even while being free on Steam. I guess otome games simply don't have that many enthusiasts on the platform, compared to yuri for example. ;)

Yeah, I noticed that otome crowd makes lots of games but I never see them playing each others games :shrug:

I guess the majority are still drawn to japanese games, even more now that tons of them are getting localized.

Yeah, but what's even more curious to me is that if we can believe VNDB ratings, some of the best western VNs ever made are otome (or otome-hybrids of some sort), while very few people talk about them. There must be something wrong with how these games are marketed, because when I look how many shitty otome games you can find on mobile, it's hard for me to believe there's no market for quality ones. ;]
