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

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.

Maybe you could play as Puck and decide which pairs to match up using love potions? Or play as any of the characters, and based on who you end up with all the other pairings also shift?

Oh, yes please.

I would actually be interested in more otome where you match people up.

Or Twelfth Night, you could play as Viola and end up with either Orsnio or Olivia or possibly there could be routes with other characters as well.

Oh yes! Or both Olivia and Orsino! Both is good! :P And maybe an ending where they do end up with each other? I love this idea so much.

I'd also love to see more historical otome that give different perspectives on historical conflicts and where you can date historical characters.

I'd be interested in seeing a palace drama otome, I think. There's probably a time period you could set it in where you get the palace drama and escalating historical conflict.
