Helpful Otome Gaming Links

Sorry about the long hiatus! Because this blog frequently falls in & out of hiatus (personal lives take priority!), I just wanted to leave a small thank-you in form of general otome gaming sources. Hopefully these will help someone!

English Otome Games- List of games in English, signal boosting & news about English otome games

Otome Jikan- Otome game & drama cd news site, both English & Japanese. Not updated frequently, but really good articles, reviews, and editorials! My favorite article that I still refer to every now and then is this one.

Otome Hearts- A forum about otome games, English & Japanese.

Kokoro Cafe- Another forum that I like to use for guides & walkthroughs. Many other discussions are included, just like the OH forum.

/r/Otomegames- A subreddit for otome games.

Visual Novel Database- A database of otome games, user-created, so it’s not a data base of all otome games. The link listed brings you to only otome games, but the site itself includes general visual novels.

Lady Gamer- Japanese otome wiki, full of guides to many games.

Neoromance- Japanese otome games news site & guides.

Otome Girly- Another Japanese gaming guide site.

Free Otome Games Masterpost- I couldn’t go & forget about my own masterpost, now can I? Includes both Japanese & English games, but now the English portion will be updated more regularly, mostly because it’s a bit much to keep track of the Japanese ones as well.

If there’s any site that you think would be important that we are missing, please let us know! Again, this is a post of general otome game sites, nothing that focuses on a specific side.

Oh, hey! I'm so, so glad that you provided the world of nerdy girls with a list of free otome games (and separated by language, too- which is great because Japanese is hard)! So, I downloaded pretty much all the games on the list, but noticed a few things. One, Pure Tears doesn't actually have a download link anywhere on the Internet anymore; two, the PPHS Jam page no longer exists; and three... does Zayay actually count as an otome game? Anyhow, thanks for this great resource!

Oh, and as for the free otome game list, I've got a few recommendations - A Very Splendid Otome Game, Line of Heroes, My Lady (incredibly short but was finished in less than a day and is actually good), Schoolgirl x Squid, and Sunrise are all great, and Colors of a Feather, Munster Academy, Pizz'Amore, Trick or Treat: A Halloween Dating Sim, and The Wagering of Wrath are worth a play as well.

(Sorry, it's me again) And I know you've already been notified that the "for gree" games don't exist anymore and you can't play them without paying for individual routes, but I just wanted to bring it up again because I checked to make sure and couldn't find them. Sorry if I'm being demanding or intrusive for a list update, that isn't my intention!

Thank you for sending this in & don’t worry, because it hadn’t occurred to me that some of the links are no longer working. I’ll be crossing a line through those ones. Zayay is a weird one, but I included it just because it kind of went along the lines of an otome game

A Very Splendid Otome Game is actually under the link Splendidest Otoge (I think I grabbed the name from the old PPHS jams list), & I’ll be adding some of the ones you suggested later (but of course, anyone who’s interested, check them out!)

If there’s anything anyone think that the list is missing, please let us know!

are you on hiatus? (you have not been online lately)

I believe we will be on & off hiatus because us mods are fairly busy with our personal lives, and I’m really sorry about that! We try to drop in once in a while, but some things just don’t work out the way we want them too. Because of that, we put together a small list of helpful links for otome games as a sort of apology that will be posted shortly after answering a few other asks. Thank you for being patient~

Haii! I love your blog! x3 And I need to ask you something. Do you know where can I find diabolik lovers' english patch? I just hearf it from your blog and I wanted to try it ^^

Hello there, Anon.

Thank you for liking our blog; we appreciate it a lot!

However, I have to tell you that there is no Diabolik Lovers patch out (as many other sources have stated and a simple Google search would give you the same answer) and there probably won’t be one anytime soon due to no group picking it up. The good news is that there are some translations floating around so I would suggest (if you really want to play it) to maybe study a little Japanese + get a dictionary + play alongside the translations or some reviews. 

On another note, if you’re asking for an English patch, I would assume that you’ve already ordered or is planning to order the game? Because honestly if the game is pirated or downloaded from somewhere, it’s probably one of the reason why no one wants to patch for people who do those thing. So yeah, buy your games and I hope that answers your question!

I recently discovered Hatsukare☆Renai Debut Sengen! and it looks super cute! I've got two problems, though: the first is that I have no clue where to get it, and the second is that I know absolutely no Japanese. If you have any advice, I'd be super thankful!! Thanks~!

Hi there, bambopsy!

I’m glad that you took a liking to Hatsukare☆Renai Debut Sengen! since it was actually one of those high school otome games that I found really adorable and unique. Beside, with art by the author of Makai Ouji (Takadono, Madoka), I was completely captivated!

Now, as for getting the game there are some on Amazon but I’m not too sure if they’re reliable or not. However it is really cheap since the game is pretty old. Here is the Limited Edition & Regular Edition. However if you don’t mind paying extra, you could use FromJapan (a proxy) to buy things from shops.

Second, if you don’t now any Japanese I would suggest you to either 1. Start learning or 2. Find translations. Since I’m pretty sure Hatsukare isn’t getting a translation anytime soon, maybe it’s time to hit the books and get learning! It also help if you play the game while following someone’s summary/review of the routes that could help you with the confusing parts.

ohaiyo!~ I'm a new otome fan and anime fan. I saw this site and i thought its cool and i should try the games here but there are a lot and I just cant choose >.< (I'm not the only one with this problem.... I think :/) :)) so if you can... please give me some nice otome game with nice graphics mainly for the pc. Since yeah my phone is full. XD Thank you in advance :D

I'm just going to go ahead & assume that you're looking for ones in English?

There's Dandelion & Nameless by Cheritz, The Second Reproduction, 

[otomegamerconfessions]

First, I just want to make a short notice that confessions would be going up soon because the mods that I know are still active are on vacation or taking a break or they’re too busy. However Mod A will be coming back and the posts would resume as always.

Second, everyone please feel free to send in confessions any time. However, please remember to mark confessions as (c) and check the FAQ if you have any questions before asking them as they’re becoming redundant.

Thank you to everyone supporting this blog!

Hi ^-^ This isn't a confession, but I did want to clear up; Star-Crossed Myth does indeed have all 12 signs of the zodiac, it just so happens that the other 6 are still in Japanese and are yet to be translated :))

Thank you for your clarification!

The Anon was probably just confused since only six characters had been released for Star-Crossed Myth and there doesn’t seem to be any news of the other six being released any time soon.

[otomegamerconfessions]

Hi!! This is not a confession. Excuse me, do you happen to know about any otome games that have representations of ALL the zodiac signs? I've heard of Starry Sky, but each game has only three signs; and Star-Crossed Myth has only six. Is there any that has them all? Thank you! And sorry if this question is a little weird, haha

Oh gosh, I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s any one game that combines all 12 of the zodiac signs? Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
