I absolutely love this community! I've always been the seemingly boisterous type, but I'm honestly shy to the core- so I tend to shy away from large fandoms. However, Indie Otome has just been such a fantabulous adventure, with fans, creatives and developers from all over the world showing love for each other as well as the games, and I always feel right at home with you guys! This year, I just wanted to say I'm truly thankful for everyone who has been a part of this grand adventure in romance games geared towards lovely maidens! XD
Indie Otome isn't just a genre anymore- it's most definitely a worldwide community- one of the best out there! Thank you for everything you do!
Do you know Yuno???
Yono(I'mWrite) is the fantabulous mod for the IndieOtome! Discord, and from the start, she's been a wonderful addition to the server's moderation- but more than that! Yuno has been working on some cool projects to showcase indie otome lists that people often ask about in the server and on the subreddit, so get ready- I'll be sharing those here soon. All credit goes to Yuno! Thank you so much for being stellar!
r/IndieOtome is Planning for the New Year!
This December has been a crazy adjustment period for both yours truly and IndieOtome! by proxy. We are at 5200 members! I'm so hype for it! I'm also looking forward to some slight changes, such as a new weekly lineup, new sidebar promos and even a few shenanigans!
Speaking of which!
We're Playing Games with Love
In the IndieOtome! Discord
Along with starting our very first ever choose your own adventure, server made romance- (featuring cameos from our favorite otome love interests!) we'll be spending the next two weeks with fun activities! We'll be closing out the year with cheer, and welcoming in the new year with joy!
There's just so much more to show you and I look forward to sharing so much more across platforms! Thank you everyone for allowing me to be a part of this community and I look forward to a new year with new indie otome and new surprises with you all! <3
This VN is living rent free in my brain pleaseeeeee. I can't draw but I had to try a little at least so I could have a concrete idea of my Oracle's suit.
Hey guysss so Grey (my cocreative director/programmer for “Criminally Yours”) made their own Oracle the default name “Delphi”.
I loved their design sm that I adopted them as my own oc as well and our sprite artist was kind enough to draw her 🙈 we are so blessed, and we’ve never understood Nik more than we do now.
Oh great, another unhinged blond man for me to obsess over. Yes, I played "Criminally Yours", and yes, I am frothing at the mouth over Nik, this Kira-lookin' ass motherfucker...
(That voice... four times... mmmm...)
I installed some new krita brushes and figured this was as good an excuse as any to try them out. Not sure I like them for my normal art, but I think they suit CY's comic book aesthetic.
Expect more art of him. Ugh, now there's TWO of them..!
"Criminally Yours" is a superhero themed visual novel submitted for Yandere Jam 2025.
You play as "Oracle" a local superhero who also balances a 9-5 office job. You have a crush on your coworker Nikolaos who just happens to also have a double life, as the villain you hate "Chronos".
Choose your name and pronouns as well as make many flavorful choices to establish your role. And some eventual impactful ones...
Enjoy a super comic themed game, paired with an incredibly jazzy original OST.
And enjoy the romantic roller coaster between yourself and Nikolaos/Chronos!
Play for free in its entirety here on Itch.io!
He's your crush, your coworker, and the villain you need to stop...?
Hi everyone! Have a look at the new trailer/teaser for When Stars Collide.
If you haven't yet checked out When Stars Collide over on Itch, please have a look at it. You can currently play up to Chapter 4 with Chapter 5 on the way in the next couple of months.
Been working on the Developers page for the website the last few days when I have time.
A few things I'd like to fix around accessibility and some extra features but otherwise it's going well Responsive design in action
Hi hi, I'm Joy! The founder, creative director, lead writer for Meant to Bee Studios and specifically its project: "Rectifier" and its completed side game "Rectifier: In Bloom".
Play "Rectifier: In Bloom" for free in its entirety now - here, major relaunch coming June 1st! If you want to keep up to date with all things regarding this project I'd suggest following here on Tumblr, on our Itch.io page, and on Bluesky!
😇Play as an Angel of your choice!
Choose to be a predetermined visible character on screen, or invisible MC of your choice or self insert.
There are a huge amount of sexuality specific options, specifically in regards to playing a character on the ace spectrum. Be as allosexual, asexual, or anywhere in between sexual as you'd like!
These choices do NOT impede on romantic progression whatsoever. So kiss kiss fall in love in the way you'd like to!
👁️Play each route at least 3 times for different dynamic!
Red allows you to be more forward, flirty, or harsh with your man of choice. You pull no punches, what you see is what you get. You can progress events and romance a bit quicker than your green and blue counterparts.
Green often takes the wind out of your guy's sails, forcing them to speak more clearly with you. You also tend to pick up on more mannerisms and subtleties than your red and blue counterparts.
Blue is able to bring out the best in everyone. Even the embodiment of the seven sins themselves. Your authenticity often melts the hearts of those around you causing them to be a tad more vulnerable with you than they would be your red and green counterparts.
🌻No bad choices!
Regardless what personality you choose, your man of choice will not be put off of it. His heart is yours for the taking regardless of who you decide to be. So play stress free, and see all options that are available!
Romance Seven Male Love Interests!

Any donation over $5 USD will count as a preoder towards the relaunch when it goes commercial July 1st, 2025. Thank you in advance for your support!
