If you could dictate a premise for an otome game what would it be?
I want a game set in modern day where you play as the kick-ass CEO of a big company. She’s remained single to pursue her career, and now that she’s settled into being CEO she has time to date.
An action game with a hero’s journey plot. Think Persona 3 Portable female mc but with 3d models and walkable environments. Most otome games are visual novels. I’d like to see more otome games with a bit more action and gameplay elements.
I haven’t played it so can’t comment on how good it may be, but have you heard of Boyfriend Dungeon? I think it’s supposed to be a dungeon crawler but with dating sword boys. Or something like that, lol
Ohh that looks like an interesting recommendation. Gonna add it to the wishlist.
That would be fun. Otome is currently a niche genre that doesn’t have a lot of money behind it, which I think is why we get mostly visual novels. but I don’t see why it shouldn’t. Are you picturing a Zelda-esque game that combines fighting mechanics and romance, or something with unique gameplay mechanics?
I was thinking more like Fire Emblem but not turn based. Zelda-esque is pretty good too!
