What Out of Copyright Characters Would You Like To See A Game About?

[alias_sqbr]

There's a bunch of otome about out of copyright characters: all the Alice in Wonderland influenced games, Code Realise about various 19th Century European characters like Frankenstein, Ozmafia about fairytale characters etc.

But there's a whole bunch who never get to be sexy bishonen (/bishoujo/whatever the non binary term is)

A while ago I had fun pondering Australian examples on my blog, including The Jolly Swagman, The Man From Snowy River, and The Magic Pudding.

So who are some obscure or unusual out of copyright characters fictional characters you'd enjoy seeing in a dating sim/otome game? Extra points if they're not from the UK or US.

Copyright law is a mess, but anything from around 1920 or earlier is a fair bet.

There is an otome game where you are a female King Arthur and date the various knights:

It looks not-bad, I keep thinking I should check it out.

I just tried to find it and it's not on Google Play! D:

It's listed on the same page as Demon's Bond and Scarlet Fate, so I think it's one of the games that might have been taken down... https://shallwedate.jp/en/paid.html

Oh, boo.

Well, maybe it will come back?
