Hardly any otome games get translated both for the lack of attention and laziness. Just know that a lot of localization companies nowadays wait until a game has a fan translation before buying the rights and essencially getting the game done for cheap. In all of my time on the internet, I have only heard at the most one or two fan groups attempt to translate a game. Usually the project goes dead. So you literally have only a small amount of available VNs that are otome, unless you're stubborn enough to read with AGTH and Translator Agregator.

I'd say add Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (PSP) to your list, but... well, it IS a PSP game.

Yeah, sadly most otome games get looked over because when companies think of what will turn a profit they DON'T think of the female market. Your best bet is to go to VNDB, search the otome tag, and search that in English.

We also just got a couple new ones through ReNo, like this one: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 11&t=14646

Why don't I see Hatoful Boyfriend on that list? There's a free demo as well as a full game that's worth about $7. Pretty cheap for a game that's got humor all over the place; just don't mind the fact that the boys are pidgeons :p

Reading this thread made me fall in love with Hatoful Boyfriend. This game's a good kind of crack. :wink:

There's two online tome games.

My candy love and Star Project.

There's is also Destiny Stone but that is on Facebook and I'm not sure if you actually get to date the guys.

Well, if you'll excuse the self promotion...

I was designer and lead-writer on a western dating sim called High School Dreams on PC, which sells for about £4 (roughly $6 USD) these days. It's cringe-worthy and saccharine enough to be a danger to diabetics, but it seems to be quite popular among a certain type of player. There was almost a DS version, but it got cancelled half-way.

Actually, the only hand-held version is for the iPhone (an episodic series; I wrote the first two games, then the studio 'restructured') and that is really much closer to traditional Otome, but only has one boy per episode for you to date for some reason best known to the studio.

If you want to check out the PC version (and if the mods don't mind my posting a link) then you can pick it up from [this link]. I don't get any money out of it (I don't even work there any more) but I'm still oddly proud of the games.
