Really can't say enough how great this game is. I started playing otome games recently and this is basically the best one to be honest. It's actually sad that this game essentially is free. It should be on platforms like Nintendo Switch which apparently is very popular with otome fans. Hope someday the creators can get on that app maybe and featured. They deserve it.
Anyways, I just downloaded the game yesterday and I played through it once now. It really makes you feel like you're actually in a fantasy adventure--that you're getting to really dive directly into a book and really be a character in a story. Which is always something I wanted to see--I love fantasy adventure stories and always wanted to actually get to play truly like being in a novel. Most otome games don't really do that. And yes, I think maybe this is kind of similar to D&D games--a similar type of concept.
A lot of games are not really about the story--not in this way where you're really roleplaying like being actually in a novel. I don't know how to explain that.
I know D&D must be kind of like this but honestly I just don't have any acquaintances to play that and I think it's still not exactly what I wanted. I really wanted to be inserted into a story and play just like this game. And so, again thanks so much for creating this!
One thing that made this game great too is basically it allows you to play as your own personality. I'm honestly not aggressive in actions, very calm and passive. But, I like to joke and throw out quips. Basically I like to use cunning I think more.
And essentially no other game I've ever played allowed me to use my kind of personality--basically all other games were one-dimensional. And essentially no other games would allow you to be a mix of deep down scared but hiding it under calmness (passive means but also never giving in to any demand) and cunning (using humor). And it was so satisfying to be allowed to roleplay in that complexity.
I guess I will add which route I ended up choosing in my first play through and it was Haron! I honestly really didn't decide until the party event that occurred right before the shopping outing. Haron finally partly won me over when talking to him during the party. Even though it was my first playthrough I honestly think he's my favorite--which I didn't expect. Although, I do find it amusing that I ended up with the guy known as a mask which essentially was the exact same as me when I was roleplaying. I wore a mask of calmness at all times in the game even though I was actually afraid as the character--and I also was outwardly friendly and used humor too. It was really satisfying--I felt like I really understood his character. (But then again, maybe I'm wrong. I enjoyed the route though and got a happy ending with Haron! :D)
