Otome Games Digest

The Otome Games Digest #4

There aren’t much otome games updates this week, and sad to say that one of the great-looking games I’m going to mention here is a voiced cellphone game which only the lucky people in Japan can get to play (it’s free too!) :cry: So *ahem* anyways, on with this otome games news updates!

Main Announcements

    PS2

    Hakuoki Official Site opens! The game is reminiscent of Bakumatsu Renka Shinsengumi, with a similar setting (feudal era Japan, samurai antiquity and all that) and premise (I’m only judging this from the ’surface’). The primary advantage of this game is Kazukiyone’s godly awesome artwork. That alone would be enough to get you hooked on this! All the more if there are also steamy scenes like in Hiiro no Kakera :P And I like the heroine, she looks feisty!

    Oh and just for the record, I bought the first Hiiro no Kakera artbook even if I haven’t played the game because I loved Kazukiyone’s artwork so much :XO:

    Mobile game

    THIS is the cellphone game I was talking about, entitled Love Maji, the game I could only look at from afar, not until I get to Japan and have my own DoCoMo phone or something. Just the pic on the main page is enough to pique my interest on this. More so when I found out that Yuichi Nakamura and Takahiro Sakurai’s smexy voice(s) are gonna be in this!! This all the more makes me a sad rabbit :( The game itself looks great, total entertainment lulz.

    In this game, you (as the heroine) study in this Magic School, and one day, you receive an anonymous love letter, just when you where summoned to the the Student Council room. There you meet the Student Council President who [regrettably] turns out to be a freaky perv who’s head over heels for you (and no he’s not the one who gave the love letter). Because of his BURNING LOVE, he casts you a charm spell so you’ll get attracted to him, but it turns out to be total epic fail because the spell made you irresistible to men instead! So all the hawt guys basically flock to you and you’re left confused as to who to choose among the hotties! But more than that, there’s one mission you have to fulfill, and that is, to find out who it was that gave you the love letter, by gathering items to make the spell wear off, so you can finally find TRU LUV. (lolz I can’t believe I typed all that :P )
