ive been wanting to make this blog since 2024 ... my main: @bustafe
im a huge otome game enthusiast so i made a blog that focuses on the self-insert romance feature in games !!
this blog is for games where the player can form a romantic relationship with a character (or is explicitly placed in one)
GAMES THAT COUNT (for this blog):
full romance games, where the main reason to play it is for the romance with multiple options (otomege / galge, dating sims, etc)
games that don't focus on romance but has optional romantic side routes (such as baldur's gate 3, stardew valley, etc, games where you can date or marry a character)
relationship focused games where the game has a set relationship between the player and the main character, but only one option (such as needy streamer overload, error143, etc)
WHAT DOESN'T COUNT (for this blog):
games where a relationship between the player and characters is implied, but not explicitly canon / purely for fanservice (such as uma musume, ensemble stars, other joseimuke games)
games where romance exists, but the player does not act as a participant in the relationship (no self-insert or player-controlled romance) (such as umineko)
this blog does not post games centered around sexual assault, incest routes, underage age-gap, or other heavy taboo themes. if a game has a few routes in these contexts, but they are optional, skippable, or explain further on the lore, then they are allowed. you can still suggest darker games as long as they aren’t centered on those themes.
example for not allowed: boyfriend to death, brothers conflict
example for allowed: volcano princess, hashihime
i have the final say on what is considered "centered" on these themes
playing a character’s route doesn’t necessarily mean engaging with them romantically, many routes can be experienced purely for the story. because of this, characters who are teenagers may still be included, especially in games where the player character is also a teenager
the queue posts twice a day and is shuffled everyday!
although google is free, i'd really appreciate a short explanation on how a submitted game fits this blog’s criteria! !! i'm always looking for more games to play :'3
since this blog focuses on self-inserting and romancing characters, some selfship related tags may be used!!! i used jaehee as my icon because more people should love her .
