[OTOME] Free ENGLISH Otome Mobile Games I'm Currently Playing

FREE OTOME MOBILE GAMES CURRENTLY PLAYING
 Below are the current mobile otome games I am playing. They are all free to play and are in English. Of course I have ones I am playing that aren't ENG but it won't be listed here.

I am also have those I have bought routes etc I am going to do reviews on but yeah. Since those are paid it won't be listed here. It'll be posted separately since this post is long enough. 

I will describe only briefly about each game currently and my opinions. (Because google ratings isn't right lol many of these games are pretty mature... I'll note it along with my opinons.) 

Afterwards I will list my current ranking of favorite from all of them. Remember this is all my opinion so take no offense! 

Thank you for reading in advance. Real reviews will be posted after I finish a route. 

Games by OKKO /  アリスマティック

I've recently started a lot of new games by this company, unsure if they are the same but they translate the same style games. They have a good range of maturity level games. I haven't passed one yet so I can't give my full opinions on their games except I do like it so far. Some more than others.

But for one thing if you play the game and insert the invitation codes you will get bonus in the game right at the start. I listed all my codes so feel free to use! 

Cinderella Contract
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a128
Invitation Code : tAkfrH
Currently just started and getting through the prologue. It's pretty interesting so far, the heroine meets a bunch of princes and well they all catch their interest. So guess who doesn't get to fly back home?
Imo, I can't judge this one just yet since it's early but I feel it'll be similar to Arabian Nights Desert Heat where she will be confined to the palace and forced to marry one of the princes. (your choice)

Mind you how beautiful the art is, it isn't really a sweet prince game lol. In this one they also have the same structure it seems like Starstruck Love where you follow two characters in one route? Except they aren't the main route characters. (Makes me a bit worried how far it will go.)

Oh and btw you will see a lot of the games they tease me with choices I want but don't give. Like this one they obviously they have all the other guys on the cover to choose EXCEPT the one I want. Thanks. Please add the extra routes soon.

For now I am going for The Tempermental Prince becauseofhisfather (/。\)
 I'm not into Yandere route if I can choose nor want to deal with another Oresama right now.

Also this game gives the best login in bonus compared to all their other games. If that really matters to you.

Rating : It might be Medium Maturity to Higher.
Interest : GIVE ME ASENA ROUTE I don't want to feel guilty again for going after someone's father.. ヽ(#`Д´)ノ
Heroine Opinion : She's pretty normal so far?

Contract Marriage
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a82
Invitation Code : FuBhaP
I was expecting this to be more mature than it is but I guess I am glad (I am only speaking from my route experience so far.) It's a bit risky at times but nothing too extreme. I didn't think I'd be interested in the story as much but so far it's actually pretty decent. The main heroine wants to pay off her family's dept, she tries to find a job to pay it off. The man (of your choice) will offer to pay it off under one condition and that is to be contracted married to him (for whatever reason he has)

This one was an easy choice on my end, I choose Shinobu Arima because well I don't want to play weird oresama DO S megane route (I don't favor meganes) and well the other is probably a yandere by what he says...

Shinobu Arima surprisingly as he looks isn't the flirt type so I choose wisely. He has a good story so far and I want to see how it pans out. (He sort of reminds me of Akiyama(Yakuza) for owning nightclub and then loaning the money to heroine, except the fact he isn't like him personality wise just the feel is sorta there haha.)

I'm still working on the route of course but so far it's quite tame with minor teasing. I'm going to say this is probably route dependent. All their games seems to depend on who you choose is what type of situation you get. 

Rating : So far it is indeed Medium Maturity. Unknown if they will go higher. Maybe. 
Interest : I am good so far with my choice his story caught my interest not going to spoil it until I write a review.
Heroine Opinion : She's also pretty normal? She wants to get money for a strong reason but she hasn't shown much personality aside from just being the usual curious girl + no choice in life lol.
 Starstruck Love
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a116
 Invitation Code : KfxSk5
Hahahahahaha. This game. I don't know I was pretty surprised you had to go through double route when you play this one. So far this is a bit risky with what has happened so far in the game but nothing major except everyone in here has some kind of issue.

So heroine moves into the house with these 3 brothers as their new sister because she lost her family. (Brocon moment) She used to be be childhood friends with Toma who totally cold shoulders her now and has a lot of angst. The eldest brother Shion welcomes her with open arms and treats her sweetly. Then comes Ryo who is the only one who wants to already treat her like any other women...

They are all idols though and she will get into the same business as them by the help of their father. And conflict begins with their family + work situation. The total in all for this story so far is interesting it's just. I won't spoil much until the main review but sigh heroine stop being so naive.

I am going for Toma but he doubles up with Shion which is a Yandere. I dunno why I am always stuck with an encounter with them lol. I'm so scared of Yanderes sometimes haha... But I will try my best to continue. Also Ryo is a jerk I can't see myself playing his double route with the other guy (who hardly appears so far). I enjoy the story except the heroine is really dumb sometimes lolll.

Also I think it's trending in their games that if it has another female she will hurt/harm you in some way and you can't do anything about it. (/゚Д゚)/

Rating : Medium Maturity but gets risky especially with RYO. But nothing shocking.
Interest : I want to see if I will love Toma. So far he reminds me of Subaru from Diabolik Lovers. I am just hoping so because lol the childhood friend part throws me off. I'm usually not into that relationship because it gets weird.
Heroine Opinion : She's naive and dumb sometimes, I don't hate her but sometimes I wished she was a bit smarter especially when the guys are very obvious on what they want (except Toma). The oneesan bit while not knowing his true ideals even though mr. butler even warns her of him. (´Д`)
 Office Lover
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.o17a110
 Invitation Code : vrTPE7
 Haha, this one is pretty fun so far. Not huge on story but pretty interesting on how the character plays out. The character you choose becomes your new boss and you see other women around him. So whether his attempts to you are real or not. It depends on your choices in the game.

I'm going for Kitazawa Omi since the other two are the same reason why I don't choose as usual. So there wasn't many choices so far. It's pretty good so far because he's a bit of a Kuudere? however he attracts a lot of females which is interesting. He slightly reminds me of typical shojo mains though except the "player" part. I think though his story will show how he really is though.

Rating: Medium Maturity is pretty right for this. I don't see it going any higher yet. It seems pretty tame and the story hasn't shown any signs of being extreme. (but it can be different in another route)
Interest: No one in this story is my type but the story is interesting enough for me to keep playing.
Heroine Opinion: She's normal and a bit of a Tsun at times trying to deny the fact she is paying a little too much attention to the boss lol.
Arabian Nights Desert Heat Love
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a118a
 Invitation Code : y2XE6q
 Ok, I enjoy this one so far a lot. Even though the story is slightly awkward on how it begins lol. The heroine delivers a jewel in the place of her friend and was told not to touch it. She ends up catching it when it stumbles out of the box. And it glows, then appears the one you choose to... bring you back to the palace which you will never leave because you will marry the one who will become king. 

I choose Kamil because the other two aren't too striking of the types I'd be interested in. Kamil seems like the flirt type but surprised me by not really. He's more of the dirty types when he likes you lol. But his design is also my favorite a little dark skin and outstanding outlook. (myforeignprincetypes) 

The complexity between the girl and the guy is pretty funny at times but also pretty wrong lol. All the molesting. However Kamil's story started to prove to be promising as he wasn't interested in being king until he met you.

But ugh, stupid jealous girl #2 is in here and that scene... I wished the girl fought back but eh it's no manners to do that. (Iwouldhavenotcared) 

And some of the new side characters coming out trying to seduce the heroine? No thanks please. Don't touch.

Rating: Not Medium Maturity. It has risky scenes so far and I can see this going further. But it won't be like R18. It's just under that with the details and descriptions they gave so far.
Interest: I am growing to like Kamil. The recent scene where he takes the heroine outside for the night was really cute. Need to play more.
Heroine Opinion: She's semi stronger than the majority heroine. (She has an opinion even though she can't fight against the guys LOL at least she tried. Especially in the beginning trying to  go back home.) I hope she stays the way she is though and not become dumb like some heroines when they are locked down.

Arabian Nights Love Story
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.o17a121
Invitation Code : zxzU7G
Another Arabian Nights story this one is based on a djinn lamp bringing the main heroine into another world. She was told by the Djinn that she needs be the one to grant the wish of the (selected guy) in order to return to her own world.

I for one know she won't return but before I say anything this is my most important opinion so far.

ASFNQEKGNEGJELFDSKNF!!!!! ヽ(#`Д´)ノ Why did they show him on the cover and NOT give him to us for scenario first? And it sucks because he appears in other routes bleh. I was very disappointed but I am playing until they update his route (if they ever)

Anyways... sorry for the minor rant. I did choose my second choice since I can't get what I prefer I choose the foreign prince. (who's really angsty lol) Still in the beginning so I don't know what else I can say about him yet. Except the main girl actually tries to do something in the story for once which is interesting to see. Especially how they will fall in love.

Rating : So far this is only medium maturity. Can't see it going higher yet and very tame.
Interest : SINBAD. GIVE ME SINBAD. o(-`д´- 。)
Heroine Opinion : She's actually a pretty strong heroine who is trying to make a difference in her life and not pushed around like usual ones haha.

 Bidding for Love
Invitation Code : 45nzUB
Nope. If you aren't into very dark otome situations then turn away right now. This story is R18. Especially who you choose will show how fast you will get scenes like that. It may not be as crazy as Can't Say No is. (Since so far it's only one on one) It's still very... mature.

The heroine was asked on a job to deliver an important document for her work at a bidding auction. She gets duped and she was sold on the bidding auction instead. (the one you choose will buy you)

You are stuck with him for a year but when he bought you, well you can guess what happens, he will cash in on the first appearance.

I choose foreign prince again (sometimes they are super weird love at first sight lol but I still like them better. And I didn't have many choices.) Takato Iriya. His gentle nice yet he was pretty cold on not letting her go lol. I was like what WHAT WHAT?! when I was first reading. The girl though is pretty awesome, she really tried hard in trying to getting away. But now is stuck with being with the guy because he was like you can kill me if you want to leave of course she cant. (and luckly Takato Iriya hasn't really done anything to her yet except extreme molesting.) I was somewhat relieved lol. But I know it won't last long so we'll see.

I am interested though there seems to be a back story to the character so I want to see what happens.

Rating : R18, Don't play if you expect a lightheart otome game.
Interest : As bad as it is, Takato Iriya seems very interesting so far (except his fetish lol) I want to see if he develops a story as it keeps going. (instead of molesting her)

Sweet Scandal
Invitation Code : JiksZj
 Probably my favorite out of all of them so far. All the guys are pretty interesting so far and not like crazy. The heroine is a reporter who works in the passion of showing the true side of the person they interview. You can choose from three guys and I choose Misato Yusuke. (Hee Tsuntsun.)

It's really cute so far with heroine and Yusuke especially with how she got him to trust her. And that she's older than him haha. Every time I read the chapters I can't help but giggle how cute Yusuke is when he wants her attention and support secretly.

I won't go too far into the story since I will save it for the review but this is a must for anyone who want my higher suggested ones. The story is really cute.

Rating : Medium Maturity is like ok for it. It's tame and there aren't any risky scenes so far. And I think the story is more cute than anything serious in the heart so yeah haha.
Interest : Misato Yusuke fffffffff he's so cute it hurts. The relationship between him and the heroine just recently I couldn't help but laugh so much. I want to finish the game~
Heroine : She's a hard working woman but she is pretty girly still. Her attitude isn't too new but her equation with Misato Yusuke is really cute. Lol that she was called out as being late on her date age.

Games by NTT Solmare Corp.
For those playing Shall we date? games. A cool thing about all their free ones, they give bonus to each other! So I highly suggest playing all of them. (Destiny Ninja https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nttsolmare.game.android.dn + all the ones below) Even if it's just to get bonus for one the game you are playing most haha. 

Added my friend ID for anyone who wants to get bonus when starting!
 Mononoke Kiss
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nttsolmare.game.android.mkp
 Friend ID : FW8FXpu3MY
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I LOVE THIS ONE. My most favorite out of the ones I've played so far. (so much I actually bought the original game story...) I am still playing the free version though to see if they will have extra stories and such.

The heroine may be typical personality (needs to be rescued etc) but she's really cute. She is a bit better than usual ones because her equation with the guy is really cute. Story is written well.

I choose Hajime since he seemed more mysterious/sly and I wanted to see what kind of story he had. (And I loved his story ughhh I never cheered on a relationship more than I did in this game. To actually wished they just got together already lol.) I'm going to see the other guys story after I pass Hajime on the free version to see how they are too because I think they are interesting too. But words cannot explain how cute their relationship was!! I was really sad when it ended. So expect a review soon with more gushing haha.

Rating : It's just like Destiny Ninja they have "those" scenes but this one happening within the story not at the end. It's written with censor though so it's not really a high maturity. Just don't expect to play this without that being described though. They don't just hold hands haha ;;;
Interest : I want to play through everyone else (and hope they decide to add the other guys.........) but HAJIME. Give me extra stories! My heart can't contain the cuteness between the heroine and him. (◕‿◕✿)
Heroine Opinion : As explained, she's typical main girl who needs to be saved and has a bit of a ditzy attitude but she's actually pretty cute in how she is that way. I liked her since she had more personality and wasn't annoying at least.

My Sweet Prince

 Friend ID : H4NMBhBymk
I never played this game even though it's one of the older ones? Doing so now and it's pretty cute. Haven't really caught on much of an opinion probably won't until I finish and review it.

I am currently going for Alvah. So far so good.

Rating : This is probably not even close to Medium Maturity. It reminds me of the old otome games where dating was all you did lol. So I would say it's super tame and like super teen friendly too. Haha.
Interest : None of the guys are really my favorite but I am playing to see the story so it'll be interesting to see how this one plays out in the end.
Heroine : It's a bit awkward how she appeared in their life but she's pretty normal aside from that.

Ninja Love
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nttsolmare.game.android.nlp
Friend ID : HXNK1xqHin
I played this before and I went for Sasuke in the first try on GREE (Which was a pain to play.) This time Shall we Date released it themselves and I am going to Hanzo. Which was my first pick in the first place, I just lol, wanted to see how Sasuke was since he was cute.

So far so good, it's a good story and scenario is written out well. I like that each character actually is a different story route and not like copied from each other. I will write a review when I am done.

Rating : I know this one can be Medium Mature from the GREE one but I haven't gotten anywhere yet so yeah haha.
Interest : Hanzo (●´∀`)ノ♡
Heroine : She is the ninja princess, in Hanzo route currently she is like weak... I liked her in Sasuke route because she tries hard to become a skilled ninja to help those around her. It might just be the different in GREE vs NTT version? I don't know. I hope she tries to get stronger instead of being saved and being upset at other people dying in war.

[OTOME] Shall we date?: Destiny Ninja Hattori Hanzo Kazemasa Route & Review


Shall we date?: Destiny Ninja

In the middle of war in the era of Genpei in Japan. A Ninja appeared infront of you after you lost your memories. You have since being put in the midst of the Genpei war and forbidden romance…
A romantic adventure life with handsome ninjas and hidden feelings of love…
Who is your Destiny Ninja ?

Ahh it's been over a year since I've passed Hattori Hanzo Kazemasa and I never finished writing up a review for it. I really enjoyed this otome game since it was one of the enjoyable ones I could pass without too many issues with checkpoint. (Unlike the Gree games.) (¬、¬)


::START OF REVIEW::
I really enjoyed Kazemasa as a character he basically first appeared standoffish toward the heroine when they first stumbled across each other. Knowing that she wasn't a spy or enemy he ended up having her follow him to escape from the battle. The Heroine has lost her memories of who she is and why she was there on the battlefield in the first place. Seeing how Kazemasa rescues her in the beginning they were brought back to his base where his companions live.





They all decide it's fine to take her in until she recovers her memories. During the time they spent together they made sure she had someone to take care of her. (of course the route you selected is the one) so Kazemasa was set to be her personal protector until the day comes. However the most time spent together, Kazemasa's cold indifferent personality breaks a bit and he shows his true side which is super loving and caring. (´ ▽`).。o♡ (He's like a lonely wolf who just needs a nice pet on the head.) Of course he ends up showing his feelings to the heroine quite fast as they spend time together.


Through the last battle in the story when enemies attack the heroine because she is actually part of a wealthy status, he shows no fear to show you his true feelings and protects her with his power. (Though in front of others he is embarrassed like crazy. Such a Tsundere haha.) In the end depending on your choices you will unlock a different type of ending. One being super sweet and one being a happy ending. And there is a hidden love ending which is...sexy times sweet. (They censor the wording pretty much so it's actually just use your imagination type of situation haha)





The storyline was pretty good, it's nothing outstanding but it's enjoyable for the fact is was free. I enjoyed the characters a lot (the other guys) they all had their personality. The CGs was very beautiful and lovely. (The girl has a full face! Her eyes are just covered by her hair haha.)

I was interested in probably playing through another route soon but I will always love Kazemasa's character. His tough strong indifferent exterior had such a soft spot (reallymeltsmyheartinabachelor). Once he was in love, he was such a sweetheart with no more cold shoulders. All his extra events made me melt in the heart and I really like how he never really goes back being indifferent at all with the heroine (unlike some characters I've seen before). (●´∀`)ノ♡

Extra Spin Offs / Extra Stories CGs
 Training for Homemaking
(This is pretty cute, except it plays a lot off of jealousy at first and then sexy times haha.) (^^ゞ
 Newly-Wed Challenge
(〃 ̄ω ̄〃ゞ
 A Princess in Wonderland
(Probably my least favorite out of the spin offs. It's like a fantasy fanfiction which isn't related to the main story at all. It was somewhat cute but I felt it wasn't as good as the other spin offs. Haha.)
 Christmas
(THIS ONE. AGH. So cute, I died inside when he took the initiative to be a super bold about dressing her up in her new kimono gift he got her.  (*ノ▽ノ)
My Handsome Beast
(This one is adorable. I enjoyed it even though it's a bit silly since the guy suddenly got turned into a half furry for a day. I wished he was a wolf than a bunny but then again he's soft inside so it matches in a sense. X'D) 

::END OF REVIEW::

(He's talking about his inner feelings. That face always.) (´ε` )♡


I would highly suggest this game for a pretty fair "free" game. They don't really force you to buy all the things to get through the game, as long as you have the time and patience you will pass the game without issue. (Daily login bonuses are good + if you play any of the other Shall We Date series you get bonus!)

[OTOME] Can't Say No - Subaru's Route a.k.a Security Guard



Can't Say No
Every day, your (player) life is ended with exhaustion from the overtime work and your rocky relationship with your fiancé. One day, as usual you are so tired of your work and somehow you are drawn to the little cafe near your office with its rich coffee aroma. You sat at the counter and yet the first thing you can think of is your fiancé. But things are different today.
Your life is about to change when you meet this charming and seductive man at the cafe and you didn’t see it coming.What is waiting ahead? Will you able to keep your usual simple life or decide to take a road down to a passionate and dangerous romance?
Sometimes love can be dangerous in a grown up world. So can you say no?


First off the expression below probably explains my feelings to this game.

(◎ー◎;)

Let me be honest they never warned me this game was R18 and borderline "I will mess with you feelings & let me crush your heart." I know how far mobile games can go but this takes the cake for one of the most extreme up to date.

Not that I didn't enjoy the storyline, it was written like a Dark Otome game and those usually have really harsh storylines but it's well written because the plot didn't come randomly. Of course there are some complaints but if you don't want to be spoiled andloseyoursanity from what I will write go ahead and read the below. Or stop now to save yourself lol.

::START OF REVIEW::

So I played Security Guard route because I have to be honest when I played through the demo storyline I was really attracted to his Keibi-in design. (he's super hot) but I already knew I should feel off about his personality because of what his preview quote is. So I went ahead and got his route anyways. I figured how bad can otome mobile games get, won't be as bad as the other games I've played via PC before.


WAS I WRONG. I GOT TROLLED SO BADLY. Even though I half expected it... I wasn't prepared how far the writing will go.

The story starts off where the heroine has a douchebag fiancé who only pays attention to her when he wants to satisfy his needs, Kaoru. They are going to get married soon but he's ignoring her a lot while she's getting a lot of stress from work from her boss Akira. But luckly by her side there is this really nice good looking security guard who cheers her on all the time. (Name is Subaru btw, just the main heroine doesn't know.)


He always cheers her up when she's stressed out or working Overtime & treating her to donuts/coffee. I can understand how the heroine feels in the sense where she is getting pushed aside by her "to be husband" but I just can't understand why didn't she just break it off with him if she started to wander about her eyes on someone who is supportive to her & her boyfriend does things such as betrayal. Instead... She leads Subaru on with being a little nice to him.

They had a day where they met out of work and she is drinking at the coffee house (coffee is the new alcohol apparently, she drinks it every time she's upset.) and she sees him not in uniform but as a normal guy. They sit together for coffee. (but of course she teases him when he does, girl you are not single don't touch another guy. EVEN if you are upset/lonely and feeling a bit risky.)

Poor thing sends her this letter after that incident and I was like, you made him feel awkward what he said was right.  Girl check yourself!


Do yourself a favor girl, break up with your fiancé or stop messing with him. I can tell he likes you (but you probably don't) but come on, you're making this a bad situation for yourself even if your fiancé is a two timing douchebag.

But of course that isn't the end of the story, with her always overtime and the security guard doesn't always work. Recently she felt someone following her all over the place after work. Of course the day he doesn't work, she gets attacked by some Thug trying to take advantage of her. And then he comes to the rescue.
Well of course he was just coincidently nearby to rescue her. And scolded her being too uncaring about her surroundings.
(I also blame her boyfriend for never listening to her when she said she feels like she's being stalked and goes home late. What choice can she have when it's Overtime to work?)

He drives her home to make sure she is safe but of course now is the time her boyfriend actually is waiting at her home. While being all jealous on the fact she was delivered back home by another guy. (Kaoru you're the idiot for not taking her home every night, instead you BS when she texts you. And ignore her questions.) Of course Subaru scolds him as well for being a bad boyfriend.

So after this Kaoru is in the apartment and I was expecting some argument or explaining but they only fade out to the morning. (;¬_¬) And I kind of guessed what happened. WHY ELSE WOULD HE BE HERE.

The next morning Kaoru then gives her problems and they argue while she finally explains why she had someone take her home because she was attacked. (she remembered because the thug was murdered the next morning and it was broadcasted on TV.) So Kaoru changes the subject by taking off her shirt she just put on. By this time I'm like ahhhhhh come on give me a break ヾ(×× ) ツ and I guessed the situation right. And then I started to worry where this game is going after seeing how it's panning out.

So the next few days even though the security guard was in her mind all the time. She couldn't see how or what she can do in her situation. (break up with your douchebag boyfriend and stop letting him use you.) But because she didn't do anything it seems the day was coming soon where I will soon see the worst. (;~;)

Everyone at her work started to confess or try to ask her out including Akira her boss. (wth don't you guys know she's taken, what is wrong with everyone.) I almost wished this was a bad dream or she was hallucination because of her coffee addict lol but nope. So of course it looked like she didn't listen to Subaru's advice at all and "still" put herself in danger. And she is working OT again with Akira now at the office. (even though he didn't pull anything he respected her refusal) Subaru confronted her... With this face.


Nope nope nope nope nope. (ノ ̄д ̄)ノ /somebodyhelpiknowthatface

I knew what was coming, in his mind what he sees is someone he admired and liked turning into someone that doesn't care enough about herself or rather probably enjoys the attention. It's like seeing your dreams crushed... and that's where you turn weird.

(ashotashelooksinthepicture) I was like this is wrong, please stop. GIRL DO SOMETHING. It's not like he won't listen if only you stop talking to yourself and say it out loud. (A Hey I'm not that type of person and I actually like you would have helped. But at this point she can't prove much.)

Of course nothing happened because she finally sort of snapped out of it and escaped. (which probably proved to him that she wasn't that kind of person after all hence why he avoided her after this because his rage actions.) She just goes back to work with Akira trying to not let it bother her (because she did like him but she can't seem to decide what she wanted to do. She doesn't blame him for assualting her? I doubt she was smart enough to even know it was her fault for making him go crazy. Leading him on, not heeding his warnings and being in bad situations because of her decisions.)

Then the story goes on where they kind of forgot about this situation because lol it wasn't that important apparently. He went missing a few days and she started to worry about him. She also missed the time they were just casually talking touching to him. On the night she was by herself lost in thought, she gets pushed out into the street when a car is coming fast. Luckily he once again appears to save her. She had words to say to him but he turns away in shame and runs because (obvious who wouldn't after what he tried to do to her.)

Later she wanders off lostly into the "hotel district" after work which she crashes into someone she knows~ Rika who she knew in the past with poof! next to her of course is Kaoru. That two timing douchebag protects  Rika verbally and even pushes the heroine aside. (apparently Rika said that it's the heroines fault for always being busy with work... so I assume Kaoru is a big fat liar.) Rika yells at the heroine saying that it's best off she died in the incident beforehand. (wut so you pushed her?!)

All of this fuss guess who appears? Yup. Subaru appears to fend them off for being jerks. He give her comfort by taking her back home... But she cries a lot and she askes him to comfort her. So he embraces her giving her a silent comfort. (It shows he really loves her even though he is proven to be mr. stalkersan by now.)


Days go back to almost like how it was where he was supportive to her but she kept having problems thinking what she should do with her relationship with Kaoru and Subaru. (of course Subaru knows this and tries to cope the fact she can't seem to figure out herself with Kaoru, but it's not easy for his type.) It takes a toll on her body and one day she faints at work which Subaru quickly takes her to the hospital.

When she wakes up he was by her side and she hears his confession on how much he wanted to let her know that he really likes her and wants to do everything to protect her. Earlier he already told her how he did indeed watch her from afar during work because he had a crush on her because of her aura. (and that goes the same for everyone else too lol.)

He only asks her one thing is can she let him by her side to protect her forever. He doesn't want anyone to hurt her and even was willing to be just there for her when she needed him. I swear if this was the ending I would have been satisfied, break up with douchebag finace, let the guy repent his mistakes, tell him your true feelings (as much I hated that she couldn't decide), ask for him name jeezzzz and they end up together with a happier ending because he at least never would hurt or cheat on her.

But of course this game wanted to play with my emotions and crush it to the ground like that. 
You can stop reading here if you want to save your sanity.

During when he asked and waited for her answer, douchebag boyfriend appears and was all nu baby I love you, won't you be with me again, I didn't mean to hurt you like this. (I seriously hate Kaoru types, they can cheat but they can be all loyal to the one he loves to a degree. I'm like dude, get yourself straight or just be forever alone. ex. emotionally abusive)

This situation forces Subaru to exit with no answer and grief because douchebag boyfriend ruined the moment. She gets the courage (wow finally?) and does run after Subaru. (I was like yes!) and then asks him why he didn't say anything (why don't you have something better to say? (/゚Д゚)/ )  He leaves saying he had no right to say anything because he wasn't her boyfriend or anyone of importance. (which is sad but true, all your fault heroine.) not hearing her full answer because her expression supposly choose for her.

As I think this will end bad, it got worse. When douchebag boyfriend took care of her the next day, he started to do what he usual does with her. IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM. Of course by now she should know that she actually likes Subaru but doesn't have the balls to say it. She can't fight back douchebag boyfriend and guess what as he was molesting her, Subaru saw when he came to visit her.

(#`д´)ノ

(If there was a rage quit button I would have hit that by now and hit the douchebag boyfriend + the heroine.)

THIS WILL TURN FOR THE WORST AND I KNOW I CAN'T SEE THAT GOOD ENDING UNLESS I SEE THE BAD STUFF HAPPENING. I was crying from the inside so much.

That face again. He knows he had no place to do anything about the situation. Douchebag was the boyfriend. Heroine never answered his feelings even though she was dropping hints. (Didn't you grow up hearing that hints don't work on guys, TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL AND CHOOSE THE CHOICE EVEN IF IT HURTS ANYONE. Short pain =/= Long term pain) He did a lot of crap just to get crap. Well I hope you know by now, it's YANDERE mode on.

(━┳━◇━┳━)

So... he does what every other yandere does in any otome game/drama cd. I'm going to skip out on most of the details because reasons and his letter explains the most.
I never had spine chills but I did when I played this part asking myself why why why lol. Depending on which choice you made up to now, you get a final choice from two to get 2 different endings when you get to the climax of the story.

Sweet Ending
After ALL the bad stuff, you choose him and not anything else. You figure him and yourself out in the end. And SHE FINALLY ASKED FOR HIS NAME. Like really? It took that long till the ending to ask him for his name. Jeez, he knew your name the first time you met and you never asked him for his. How rude.

Happy Ending
Before all the bad stuff can happen she finally was able to tell him how she feels. She told him she never lied to him. She always was telling the truth to him. (to herself) so it calmed him and he realized the situation they were in weren't the ideal one finally curing his heart. GREAT why did it take it to the dangerous measures before you can say it. Was it that hard? Bleh, but this ending at least erased his previous behaviors after his few days in the Yandere realm. He returned to acting normal in the ending and they plan to get married. (Even though the break up with Kaoru sent him in denial lol, I don't understand Kaoru. Then it caused the crazy lady to harass the heroine.)

But gladly, she doesn't have to be in check because he knows he can believe and trust her.

What bothered me is that she never got his name in this ending. Like really, do you really want to call him Security Guard the rest of your life. Ugh, if they combined the sense from the Sweet ending of asking for his name and then the lather I would have been happier. It's still a good ending, because at least in this one, nothing bad happens really except the climax is always about the same which I wished it wasn't like that.

And then the Normal Ending if you sucked at the game or had no guide ending. Just no. It's not normal ending. THAT IS A BAD ENDING. I won't go explaining it but I had to double check what game I was playing when I saw the "Normal Ending" coming. So no thanks please.

After Thoughts
I really did feel that Subaru had a good development in the story, it was sad but realistic on how he became a Yandere. If he was a straight off weirdo he would have locked her away when he first met her. He did so much to even just be by her side (if you are used to other yanderes most of the time they are just selfish or always at disbelief. For him he tried to believe she was a good person until her actions spoke otherwise.). He just couldn't handle off the pressure and well doesn't help he was mr stalkersan though, it gets weirder when you constantly pay attention to someone. So I am not too sure what I can say about him and how I feel about him.

I'm not usually into Yanderes at all and it's a turn off for me most of the time. But how well written it was on his end, I felt that it was sad but realistic how a person can change due to misunderstanding and mistakes... I only wished they stopped at the part he cried, but they wanted to hurt my feelings more so lol. It worked.

::END OF REVIEW::

...What did I just play. LOL.

By any means I may have been frustrated with this game at some points but the story was well written because I may have felt something coming but it kept me wishing it didn't because of how it was written. (They give you hope and punch you in the face right after.) Even how bad I felt sometimes I did think this game is unique and not really forced through out. (of course there are parts where I am like why. Like lols why you don't ask him for his name first but fall for him.)  

I have to say my most favorite thing from this game is the visuals. It's so beautiful, I need to see if I can ever find the artist for it, if anyone knows, let me know! 

I do not suggest this to anyone who expects a lighthearted otome game. I know the other routes will also be dark and twisted in some way. I know a few other characters might have routes some day but I will see if I can recover from the scar the security guard gave me to play any others haha.

[OTOME] Pure Love ~My Boyfriend's a Star~ Sou's Route Review


Pure Love

You could choose between the adult style of love with the 3 elder handsome characers and 2 younger brother-like characters to have a taste of first love. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?
Debut on the real stage of love to purify the dark and lies filled entertainment industry with your pureness!

I played through Sou (Fuuta) route. So I only have opinions from his route and gameplay. All opinions are mines and I hope you won't be offended with it. There are spoilers ahead so if you don't want to be spoiled please skip it.

::START OF REVIEW::

This game wasn't that bad but wasn't that good either. It had it's points in the game.  To me it felt like a typical Shojo manga with certain moments (huh, what are they doing, they were just talking just a moment ago. ???) It was a bit weird when the heroine first "meets" Sou. He was kissing up on the her (who didn't seem to mind...) and I started to regret my choice on him for the game lol. But as the game went on, his character got revealed a bit more and I started to understand him.



His apology made it much nicer playthrough after (why he kissed up all over when he didnt know her.) but it was still a bit weird. His aim for being famous was to one day see his mother again. (aww) But sadly in the end his mother was an famous actress who is a bitter lady that abandoned him to achieve fame, but now wanted to use him to get even more fame after he became famous. Yeah, so that didn't go well. I felt really bad for him but basically the heroine gets tangled up in the situation of being a friend/lover with the star.


Through the story you make only 3-4 choices. Then the final choice you make in the game (which pushes the ending you get) will be decided upon your last choice. Which they trolled me with because the % of love meant nothing, it was your last choice in the end ugh. So I got the Bad End first and then I finally went back playing through the whole thing again to get the Good Ending. (; ̄д ̄)

For the ending, they had no CG which was too bad because I actually liked the CGs in this game.

In the good ending the heroine asks him to always give him those sweet kisses like the beginning from now on as always. And he's like yay! Ok! So yeah... I mean there was points in the game I liked but the ending was a bit eh, ok haha. So she likes being kissed on the eyelid.  Σ(゜゜) Haha.

::END OF REVIEW::

The amount of time you need to pass the game for it being free isn't bad at all. (you play like 4 sections in a chapter a day basically.) But I really don't like they don't give you much of a choice but to play all over again when you don't get the ending you want haha... I won't be playing other routes anytime soon I believe. It was fun while it lasted! Make sure to check it out yourself if you don't mind a typical shojo story with some interesting moments.

I also heard that Koyonplete rebooted the game recently... I downloaded it on my new tablet but I haven't checked if they polished the storyline. If I ever check it out, I'll make another post.

[OTOME] Forbidden Love Johannes Route + Game Review

 
■Forbidden love with your stepbrother
You can't do that, big brother! If you do that sort of thing... we won't just be siblings any more!
-- I, brought into the multi-millionaire Jones family as a child from my mother's previous marriage, and Mike, a child from my stepfather's previous marriage, became siblings. An older brother who thought of his sister kindly, and a younger sister who adored her older brother.
Though at first glance, we were regular siblings, we both held hidden feelings --
"I've never thought of you as a younger sister even once..."

I never got to publish the review because it's a bit of a ranty one but it's my opinion since I've played many otome / dating games in my life and some things aren't my type of thing. If you do not wish to read or be spoiled please do not read ahead. If you enjoy this game do not take my opinion as an offense, it's purely my opinion and no one elses.

::START OF REVIEW::

The game starts off where the main heroine's mother is married to the Jones family and Mike Jones becomes her stepbrother. I choose Johannes route because he's more of my taste in otome games but thanks to this game I was wondering if I was still playing Mike's route. There was a misunderstanding between Mike and the main heroine because there was a Mr. Douchebag that was trying to "get in her pants" in the beginning of the game. And she was trying to be smart by going, oh hey, guess what if you want me then you give me a marriage paper lolol. But oh no, Mike overheard and figured, well that sucks she's a gold digger just like her mother get away from me. That being said he moves abroad for a while. During the time of misunderstanding she meets Johannes...



What annoyed me the most when I was playing was the fact that the choices you make for the heroine doesn't really do anything, it just more or less increases the one you are going after for's affection. She will stay whiney and indecisive through the whole game. Countless times I'm like, really say something, and she's all weh. (I don't remember how many times I facepalmed but I wanted to at least finish a route.)

Through Johannes story she still has the huge crush on her stepbrother Mike not just once but constantly brings it up even when she dates Johannes. (It's like come on game, why give me a choice if you just want the main two to be together ugh.) And because of this she also tries to break up with him. Johannes really liked her and always tries to cheer her up because he really cared for her.

Then my favorite thing of this game started to appear, yay time to add all the forced drama and predictable story plot everywhere! When you couldn't think the plot can't get worse. The worse mother in the world ends up divorcing Jones family because lol she frauded for money. It's ok, because after a few days of trouble (and main heroine was ignoring all Johannes calls because she felt she was too guilty to still love Mike and date him... *rolls eyes*) guess what daughter! We're going to have a new home! Guess where? Yup, Johannes's father because lol we used to be lovers.

 And then comes more, the two get settled as stepbrother and stepsister. She was content with that because Johannes just was glad to see her well and she was happy to have him near her. Although he sorta always crossed the line of brother/sister not that she pushed him away much... When things got back the way it was (where she accepted Johannes again) MORE DRAMA guess what, Mike came back and was like I was never mad at you and I heard what happened. I'll still be your good brother and protect you. /insertconfusedheroine

At least by now she sorta choose Johannes but nope story was like nah, you don't have enough forced drama so guess what, you two are real brother and sister! Cause the mom is the worst kind of mom Then comes all the fuss from the parents trying to split the two from being together cause lol incest. (but it's too late cause they already implied they slept together... but the story seem to have forgotten half way.)

When I was playing this part I was like, ok, guesses the ending because it makes sense when they throw so many weird plots in your way. Her mom is a liar, why wouldn't she lie about this too just to be back with money Johanne's dad? And when I passed it, yup I was right. The ending was where the mother tried to force her daughter to marry Mr. Douchebag from the beginning (which the mom also slept with before too...) but Johannes comes back from being obedient son and proves all the facts that her mom was always lying during the wedding. I'm like ok, yay, it's finally done I can stop cringing at the bland ending which was predictable. So what now? (engagement + an after story that I skipped because lol, I can't anymore, this game... Especially when it first started out with the heroine whining about weh I dunno about the marriage now...)


After passing the game, I have to say I really still do like Johannes, his character had really a good personality. Even though he was pretty spoiled like a little kid sometimes (nagging sis for things but it was cute.) his love was genuine and he ended up growing up a bit through the process of the story. I respect Mike because he didn't shove himself to the heroine even though he had feelings for her when he came back. He tried to help her and did indeed cockblock the bad stuff (Mr.Douchebag) but the plot and the heroine is the unfortunate part. Ugh, it's like if they had a better execution of the plot (and not all the plotholes/confusing parts through the story) it would have been better. Oh yeah, and change the main heroine, she is the most unfortunate in the story because her character written so badly, I feel bad for anyone who can relate to her. I've never been so annoyed with a heroine and she takes the cake. I felt stressed when I was playing this game haha and it's never really been like that.

I'll be honest, I feel Mike route will be better because of the huge bias they placed into it. However I can't play on because of the main heroine so I stopped after I finished Johannes.  This game was one of the reasons I stopped playing mobile otome games for a while too so yeah~

::END OF REVIEW::


Thank you for reading and honestly I really felt that this game need more time to think of what they wanted instead of placing random plots everywhere and forced drama does not make it a darker otome game. (It's not a dark otome game by any means... try Can't Say No if you want dark...)

I heard there was a second game that is a different story/characters but I'm reluctant to try it because how bad this one was. But who knows, since I'm in the mood to play all kinds of otome games I might... just to see if they have changedthewriter a different story.

The big thing I liked from the game though is the visuals, the art is very pleasing and I really liked the art. I just wished they had more artworks haha.
