Hamlet. Hamlet, listen to me. Hamlet you gotta kill your uncle (message your friends). Killing your uncle (reaching out to your friends) is extremely vital to achieving your goals. You want to get revenge for your father (maintain your friendships). You want to kill your uncle (talk to your friends). You have the perfect opportunity right now because Claudius is defenseless (discord says your friends are online) so just kill the king (message them!!!!). Hamlet you're making excuses again. Hamlet if you wait too long this is going to end poorly. Hamlet-
uh oh Hamlet moment (driven insane by my own inaction despite the fact that i both need and genuinely want to do the things i am not doing)
i've finally transferred my save files for tmgs over to my new laptop. i'm planning on replaying after i finish persona 5 and writing the otojam game!
ooohh fun!!~
I'm making slow progress through year 3 but i should be done with my first playthrough in a little while! i just found out in the most ridiculous way that 2 dates in a row at the same location is a bad thing (literally not even my fault though. like i scheduled an amusement park date a few weeks out with madoka and then literally the next day he was like "let's go to the amusement park this sunday!" and like um. ok. impatient much? but what was i supposed to say, no?? lmao~)
but he still likes the mc a lot so who cares.
anywho~ out of curiosity, where are you at in p5? and are you playing royal?
I've been considering doing an NG+ run for either p5r or metaphor sometime soon (though i have a million other games i want to play too lol)
((also super excited to see ur otojam game!!!))
FINALLY
I've been working on this damned update since march 2021 I really hope yall like it 😭
You can now meet ALL five love interests in this first official 'episode' of the game and there's
50,000+ words. (It. is. massive.)
180+ dialogue choice trees.
Animated CGs.
You can even get achievements for petting your cat.
Do you want to save the day and impress everyone with your might and wit and skill? Or do you prefer being an absolute menace who fist fights their mentor in his office and sets fire to fan mail? Why not both?
I been solo funding this project out of pocket for half a decade and I'm not going anywhere until its DONE; if you like the game, pls consider sharing with your friends, hyping it up on social media, or supporting me on Ko-Fi~
Herotome is completely free to play. It comes with a walkthrough if you tip (or have ever spent) 2.99$ or more on the itch.io page, but you shouldn't need a walkthrough to beat the game.
Have fun!!!
Proper link to the demo will be in a reblog so tumblr doesnt nuke this post from search engines XOXO
Am I the only one who thought Rozy was a girl based on the trailer? People were like "oh Rozy has a secret identity" and I was like yeah I bet he's secretly a girl called Rosie and is pretending to be a boy because sexism. Then I find out that no, Rozy is not a girl, and not only that but there are no Yuri routes at all.

Hey hey, everyone! My name is Wren, and welcome to Otome Detective!
Currently Playing: Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side: First Love Plus ~ Click here to view my Game Collection on Backloggd <3
I originally made this blog to talk about otome games only, but I had a rather long otome slump this year, during which I played the entirety of Persona 5 Royal (and a lot of Persona 3 Portable before the Akihiko social link made me start to miss my otome games again lol) so I'd love to talk about other games too, especially in the rpg & mystery genres!
If you'd like to read my about page, you can do so here.
If you'd like to read my thoughts on being an aromantic otoge player, check out this post here.
I plan to eventually write and share my personal reviews of certain otome games and routes, so stay tuned for that!
any criticism of homura can easily be countered by “shes 14 and watched all her friends die over and over”
i wanted to reread hamefura since u mentioned it and was struck with the agony. keith is almost singlehandedly responsible for me making a "would be my favourite if he wasn't the heroine's brother" list and his existence brings me both pain and suffering
yEAH this exactly omg.
I haven't personally read the novels or the manga yet, so I'm anime-only for right now and idk if anything is different when reading it, but I totally loved Keith at first! I still kinda do tbh?
He was so adorable in the flashback episodes, like it makes you just want to hug the little guy lol. And then in general he's got both a personality and a design that I love!! And the difference between him and his og Fortune Lover counterpart is so fun to think about?? Unfortunately, he is Not an eligible LI in my eyes. The pain and suffering is real lol, he could be so great if he got over that sister complex 💔

hi i was checking your backloggd and you have excellent taste!!! 👀❤️ we have so many games in common, i followed you for otome only but you even played paranormasight, i didn't know there was anyone around me who played it!! fghkfhgk
Omg yes I loved Paranormasight!!!
I played it back in February and I could hardly put it down! The story was so interesting and I love love love when games get creative with how they mix the gameplay and narrative elements. It reminded me a lot of Zero Escape actually, so that could be part of why I like it so much lol. It's cool to see someone else who played it! :)
As much as I love otome, I've actually been a mystery game fan for a lot longer lol so I play a lot in that genre and I love to talk about those games too!
the desire to play unlocalized games vs the fact that i'm absolute dogshit at learning languages
I'm Wren! I like otome games, rpgs, and mysteries! Feel free to reach out, as I'd love to chat! :)
