Have you always wanted to learn how to code? Here’s your chance to start!

English Otome Games has partnered with Pretty Smart Games to hold a giveaway for five digital copies of their recently released visual novel Code Romantic!

“Code Romantic is a computer science puzzle game wrapped in a post-apocalyptic love story. Join the Human Defense Department’s last ditch effort to save the world: by teaching the brightest students in the nation how to hack into the brains of the sentient machines. Follow the journey of Mina Lovelace as she proves herself worthy of following in her mother’s footsteps… and also tries not to embarrass herself in front of Leon, her childhood crush, in the process! Code Romantic teaches C# programming and computer science concepts. The educational content is based on the AP Computer Science exam and the curriculum of a college-level Computer Science I course. If you like visual novels, problem solving, political intrigue and love stories, you’ll enjoy Code Romantic!”

In order to enter the giveaway, simply reblog this post! If you win, you’ll be able to receive a copy of the game through Steam.

The contest will run until August 20th, 2020 at 10PM EST. I will pick five random entries at that time. Good luck!!

If you do want the latest news, we have a Discord for our games and livestreams: https://discord.gg/nrTTyjj

Also, every Thursday at 6pm PT we are streaming game development on Twitch, including working on Code Romantic! https://www.twitch.tv/drmikachu
