The label 'otome' generally implies that you are making a game that is intended to be played and enjoyed by women—why is this something you're interested in doing? Just because your main character is a female, it doesn't automatically make it a game for women, any more than a story with a main character who is a rabbit is intended to be enjoyed by actual rabbits. You can make a game for a general audience or men with a female main character.
If you sincerely are trying to appeal to women, you are going about it in a
tragically wrong way. I know very few women who enjoy an explicit battered woman story. There is nothing appealing about violence towards women and murder, without very extenuating circumstances. As far as I can tell, Angela holds no power, only exists as an object to enact violence upon as you learn
Charlie's story. Even her just floating around as a ghost hardly tells
her story. She has no power, and no agency.

I assure you they are disturbing regardless.

Shounen chicks suck too. But that's usually the main characters fault for being a huge spurglord or border line homo. I mean pansu pansu Moge Moge shit. Im a man. I like things..... But that's just, its not the god damn plot. NOT THE PLOT>
What are you even trying to say here? I sincerely hope you are a troll. If not you need to really evaluate what you're doing, and whether you should be communicating this project with the public.
Well Im a troll, but I am seriously making the game and them things are my real thoughts after researching chick stuff. A friend of mine said I should work out the kinks and learning curve of making a game myself. So I said, "Well what should I make?" and he replied make a game for girls, something out of your comfort zone.
Decided to make a short game. I looked up the what a girls VN would be called, Its otome, But maybe my game isnt otome.... whoops? Uggh now that I look at it, I was saying a lot of weird shit. Thats just how I explain things to people though. My writing of this otome with a dark ending, the characterization, and and the look was all decided on my incredible disappointment in mainstream manga. Originally it was just going to be rainbows, unicorns, and glitter. Maybe I should change the Description to horror. I dont know cause only the end of the game features the brutal seances, most of the game is you basic pretty woman Cinderella scenario, except her childhood, thats more like....that one book with the marry go round? She may be powerless, but that's cause she is normal. If you picked up a boy off the streets it would be the same.
You are right about the battered female thing. I don't like it ether. ITs the reason I hate Charle, intermittent explosive disorder... But I want to make a good story with a touch of realism, usually when people are beaten to death by a psychopath they look like pooop. And well, male or female, people die horribly.
The point of the ghost scene, if I decide to add it, was for development. Angela never had people important to her really. She mostly lived day by day trying just striving to survive. She stopped feeling helpless regardless of her situation a few years after she left the orphanage, that's how she manged to keep going . Even during her murder she felt strength in the fact that she wasn't scared. Acceptance. I wont go on and on though. LOL. I dont like to write much about the plot cause Im not someone who likes reading paragraphs of stuff. I tried to get into the other Ideas and stuff written here, but they had LOOOONG summaries. I just looked at the art and skimmed the rest.
OH YES. Im also supper hyped that someone else finally said something. I am actually putting hours into this so your feed back makes me happy. I get a lot of flak from my friends but they dont like VNs. So I dont get so much as a "you suck" from them anymore. So thanks.
