otome_gamesFor anyone else who doesn't have a decent phone and has been pining over all the cool otome games only available for phones: Blue Stacks lets you emulate an android phone on a Mac or PC for free.
It's quite easy to install and use. The only real downside is that it makes my Mac laptop run pretty hot. There's other emulators out there but I haven't tried them.
It connects to your Google Play account so it's quite easy to pay for game content. (Almost...too easy)
And now for some game recs!
Some otome phone games I have (partly) played and enjoyed, with links to posts I made about them:
Games I haven't played yet but hear are fun:
Any other games you've enjoyed? Any feelings on games I've mentioned?
Here's an old post talking about phone games I stole some recs from.

And now for some game recs!
Some otome phone games I have (partly) played and enjoyed, with links to posts I made about them:
- Helix Waltz: Patchy but surprisingly involving dress-up game about a girl in a fantasy quasi-European city. Romance hasn't been implemented yet beyond some flirting, but there's 6 female love interests and 20 male ones.
- Mystic Messenger: Blank slate girl stumbles into a chat room of friends. High quality writing, annoying real-time chat mechanic. Several love interests are free, and you can grind to pay for the rest, but the deeper you get the more likely you are to shell out real cash. One ambiguously romantic female love interest, six male love interests.
- Shall We Date: Demon's Bond: a Hakuoki prequel about a ninja bodyguard who is also a demon chieftan AND a sheltered teenage girl, dealing with a bunch of politics and demon social dynamics in the Sengoku period of Japan. $5 US for each of the five male love interests.
- Everlove Rose: A modern woman travels back to the past. This was adequate. Three or four male love interests, I think?
Games I haven't played yet but hear are fun:
- Voltage: Love struck: A variety of games. I played part of "Astoria: Fate's Kiss" years ago just as my phone was giving up the ghost. It turned out not to be the kind of immortal romance I like but was otherwise ok. I hear the pay structure has gotten annoying. Male, female and non binary love interests.
- The Arcana: I hear this is well written but that the paygates get frustrating the further in you get. Male, female and non binary love interests.
- Dangerous Fellows Zombie apocalypse survival. Zombies FREAK ME OUT, so this isn't for me, but it's an interesting premise. All men.
- Ikemen Revolution As far as I can tell this is based on Alice in Wonderland and has fourteen male love interests.
- First Love Story (link to clover_zero's review) Highschool romance. Can be played for free but it gets frustrating. m/m, f/f, and f/m!
- Shall We Date: Blood In Roses Vampires! Several guys, plus there's a female character who seems to have her own endings, and is into the MC, but I can't tell if she has a full route.
Any other games you've enjoyed? Any feelings on games I've mentioned?

I guess I'll have to read Heisuke's route first 👀 tho I'm not sure when I will exactly because when I have time to play stuff, I like to prioritize games I haven't completed/played yet. But I'll definitely play this version at some point. And I'd love to talk more about this topic, I find these things very interesting~
