Otome Games and Dating Sims

[miracleshining]

In my group of friends around here, I know I'm the peculiar one because I have always liked playing Dating Sims. I think they're actually really fun and some of them have some very good storylines.

I haven't delved into the world of Otome Games though. The boys are BISHONEN to the extreme and yes it is fun to have a very sexy game. But I tend to relate that to the few Japanese BL games I've played versus any Het ones. Not saying that they wouldn't be fun.

I have one currently for the DS called Princess Debut I've yet to play. Unlike an Otome Game, it comes with a very G rating and I got it as a Christmas present since I'm the family's "Princess" last year.

Right now, the Otome Game Girls are all alight about "Dandelion," which has apparently been translated. I saw some screen shots and I think I would rather play some of the games that Yuu Higuri illustrated for.

On another random note, I did try the Amaretto Nondairy Creamer in my Chai today. I give it two and half stars. Wasn't as strong as I would have liked but definitely wasn't as sweet. Current flavor I prefer is Chai Latte made with Soy Milk and a shot of Caramel. HEAVEN!

I'm kind of 50/50 on any dating or otome that I've played so far*, simply because they're either het, or lesbian. Only played one otome-ish game that hinted at a gay couple, and that was as a side more than anything. However, there's a project on Kickstarter for a gay dating sim that I might pledge to. (Here if you're curious) Since it doesn't end until Jan 20, I might pledge in Jan; more money to work with.

*(Admittedly I haven't played a lot, and probably don't know enough in the genre, but what I've come across... same opinion.)
