As the title pretty much explains, I have gone obsessed over something new. Something, which have upgraded my otaku power to a whole new level. I have started to game and download otome games.
Now you probably rip out your hair and think "what the hell is an otome game? Speak English, you retarded pie!" Well. As kind as I am, I have decided to tell you exactly what this sort of game is. It is rather addictive, though, so if you feel like trying it out and you go obsessed; I wont be blamed.
An otome game is a game where you play as one main character, and one only. Otome stands for "young maiden", which means that whenever a game says "otome", it's most likely for girls. Anyway, you play as this one girl through a visual novel type of game where you meet a certain amount of guys during the gameplay. Mostly it's 3, 4 or 6 guys, and they all have different personalities. As you play, you will get choices that will determine which of the characters you will fall in love with, and to which ending you will get. There are several endings, so when you have finished the game, it doesn't mean you have finished the plot or the gameplay. Each of the guys have each of their plot, and they all mostly have like three different endings.
Otome games are most often in Japanese, which means it can be difficult to find the known ones in English. And of course; most of the downloads are demos. You have to be good to find a free version of a full game. I was just lucky with Yo-Jin-Bo (one of the games I have downloaded).
I know, it sounds like shit. But it's so fun. ; n ;
Currently I have only tried a few, but I do have two favorites;
RE:Alistar++ and
Yo-Jin-Bo: The Bodyguards. Curretly I'm trying my hardest to download
Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful ~ Wonder World~, which seems to be rather hard. It's nearly impossible to find it in English, and so I decided to just try and download the Japanese version; which have like 20+ parts I have to download. Then I need a translator! Dx
Also, I will soon get to try out the known game
Clannad, which had an anime and manga based on it. A friend of mine have gotten a download of the full game~ Ah, so happy~ *shot*
If I ever get to finish the downloading, get a translator that works and play it, though, I will most likely post a review here. If anyone cares. >_>
Plus the site to where I downloaded it and probably where I got the translator - if it works.
In my personal life nothing special have happened. There's a movie festival coming up which my class are going to. Also, I have been spending a lot of time geeking anime. One called
Sket-Dance, which Kèrri and I found through a crossover with
Gintama, have proved itself worthy of our eyes. We have gone obsessed. xD
That's all I've got for now.
