About time^^

It's a stat-raising dating sim inspired by classic otome games like Tokimeki Memorial! There's also a kickstarter campaign running atm so I checked it out. Normally this should be totally my thing, but I was honestly kind of underwhelmed :/

Summary:

Pros:

• nailed the 90s anime/otome game aesthetic
• Music is good as well
• Everything is pretty

Cons:

• The love interests' sprites all share the same base
• There are no hover sound effects in many parts of the UI :< doesn't feel tactile
• The sprites are blurry when they are zoomed in and the demo overall lacks a little bit of polish

Has anyone else played it?

Long Live The Queen was one of my first visual novels, so I'm super excited for this 👀

it was originally supposed to be a warmup sketch for a more complicated drawing, but I ended up coloring it

Anyway, if youre into mystery games please try otdevil you wont regret it 👀

It's pretty out there for an otome since you're literally being held prisoner by a stalker.

All the characters use Live2D sprites and the cinematography and UI design is absolutely fantastic. There are some things I didn't even know you could do in Live2D.

Just wish the english translation was a little better^^;

(definitely only try this if you don't mind stuff like body horror, needles and very heavy use of glitchy graphical effects, among other things. the body horror can be censored in the settings, though!)

AFAIK the demo is time limited for the otome games celebration, so if you wanna try it be quick
