Definitions

Indie Otome: A story-based romance video game targeted towards women.

The protagonist either has to be female or an option to be. Which means gender-choosable games are included. 

At least one of the love interests has to be male. 

Amare: An inclusive genre tag for relationship focused visual novels and interactive fiction games, spanning multiple genres including Otome, BL, WLW, and blends of these themes.

Where can I find them?

On Itch.io! Most games use at least one of these tags: Otome -> Amare -> Dating Sim -> Romance

Game jam? What is this?

Game jam is an event where participants try to make a video game from scratch within a limited duration of time. 

Itch.io is not only an open marketplace, but also a place for hosting and participating in game jams online. 

Here is a list of ongoing visual novel jams to find even more games.
