This week, Jared and I reach an important moment in the world of otome. We chat about Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei, and I talk about the many reasons why this game just didn’t hit for me.

Since Valentine’s Day was this week, Jared and I decided to talk about Lover Pretend, an otome game where you fall in love with dudes as you work on a movie set trying to find out who your dad is. We talk about the awkward moments, some of the great stuff this game does, and why the last route just shouldn’t exist.

This week, Jared and I talk about Bustafellows, a game I started in 2021, but I wasn’t able to finish for a few reasons. This time, I completed it, and so we chat about the dudes, found family, the wild ass story, and how it became a top tier otome game on my list.

This week, Jared and I chat about an otome game I played last year, and we discuss how they fumbled what could have been a cool plot device, why some of the datables were insufferable, why eight dudes is too many dudes, and whether or not the big finale actually mattered at all.

This week, Jared and I are returning to 1920s Italy to talk about a sequel to an otome game that I loved. We talk about the stories for the route, why this game was a disappointment to me, and see where it ranks on my list of otome compared to the first game.

Valentine’s Day is coming, and love is in the air! That means it’s time for another otome episode! This week, we chat about Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani, where you play as a new agent who helps out supernatural beings…and dates them. (And her boss) I talk about the routes, how much I enjoyed the side characters, and how the whole time I just kept wanting to get to the Semi route to see what would make him finally open his eyes.

In our first episode of the year, Jared and I are back to talk about otome!! I played through Cupid Parasite, and so I talk about all the routes and guys, the issues with translation, and ultimately why this game didn’t click with me.

We’re finally back with otome!! This week, I get to talk about Olympia Soirée, which exists in a world with a rigid color caste system. We chat about Japanese mythology, which dudes I liked, and how this game is the sauciest otome that I’ve played (that doesn’t suck).
Heed the content warnings at the beginning!

This week, we’re going back to the world of otome! We’re chatting about Café Enchanté, an otome where you run a coffee shop for a coffee loving demon king, a fallen angel who loves otome, a very hungry fire wolf, and a headless knight who likes to garden. Oh, and a regular 42 year old dude. We talk about the routes, nut, who I liked the best, and why I felt like the game ended on a really bad note.

This week, we have two very different things, but two that solidly appeal to my interests. First, Jared and I talk about the experimental Legend of Zelda games for the Satellaview, including one that is not only a direct sequel to A Link to the Past but is also a Zelda isekai. Second, I talk about the latest otome release, Piofiore: Fated Memories, which has us dating pretty mafia dudes in Italy during 1925…and one big twist that no one could ever see coming.
