3 of the guys feel kind of mysterious. Maybe that is just me and the game differentiates them better.
I do wonder if they'll do anything with her holy position. That made me wonder (bit of a tangent): I am curious how interested a Japanese audience, that I assume has more exposure to Shinto and Buddhism, would be in works exploring Christianity, especially from perspectives of people who faced religious abuse. Would they find it an interesting story of stuff that someone in a foreign country might go through? Would it not resonate because the popular Japanese religions and culture around it are different enough for it to be unrelatable? The hearsay I found online in fandom spaces suggests they might think Christianity is cool, though not sure if that is just an aesthetic thing.
I went and assumed bot annoyance was about bots masquerading as people and outright bot spam, not legitimate use of bots to automate predictable posts (like weekly posts or relevant updates from a particular site). The fact you are bothering to point out that you never said the bots was unmarked lets me know I assumed incorrectly. Sorry.
I feel otome is niche enough our reviews are not flooded by bots pretending to be human and paid-for fake reviews, but it's still nice to see what's clearly a small independent site made by a person just offering their opinion.
I know the DARK routes will appeal to some of my friends and I find it interesting too because it can reveal aspects of what the character could be but didn't become if you did a different route.
Because of her black eyes and black hair, she is imprisoned for being “demon-possessed.”
oh boy, these folks finding out about what most people look like in our most-populated continent of Asia would go over so poorly. MC is isekai'd, presumably from Japan, so I wonder if she thinks the same thing that I just wrote…
One of my alts is on .zip. I was unaware we had bots that do not mark themselves and are unobtrusive. Can you show me some examples? (Genuine ask, not me trying to say "you're wrong" in the most passive-aggressive way)
I agree on gray area. I feel the type who's super into privacy would like us so long as our caveats are super upfront when we advertise. We're "private" in that we have no trackers or other surveillance to block, but we are not private in how ActivityPub works (at least from what I remember when Fedi was new, forgot it all by now) and that definitely has kept me from using, say, PixelFed and posting my real life pictures on there and trying to migrate all my friends over to put their family pictures, vacation pictures, "feelin myself today" pictures there too.
I remember reading about this on Bluesky. Nice to see a more forward MC, and pleased to see a bridged BlueSky! I was doing that with mine. Last I actually checked, I don't think Mastodon was bridging my BlueSky over so I have to check that.
As far as I remember, MLB on Lemmy was one person posting articles, and I am way too casual in my MLB consumption to contribute anything to baseball communities.
Small and chill. I was only asking about IF, which was absorbed under !adventuregames (I think the two are separate genres?). I'll respect your wishes and avoid posting pure IF there! Thank you for replying
Not as active on Lemmy as much, but still trying to keep my communities active. For this account that would be !otomegames@ani.social. Not much engagement, as far as I know English-speaking otome fandom is on BlueSky (so am I), Twitter (nnnnope), and Reddit (account I haven't been using since Lemmy but still exists for saved posts I never excavated out of there).
People care about their identity on Reddit? I always used it as a sort-of anonymous forum, except with usernames, less likelihood to get told rancid things than on a truly anonymous platform with no accounts to ban, and if you were reading some original stories on Reddit you could recognize the author's name.
Instagram was something I used under my real name to keep up with real life friends, so yeah I care about my identity there, but I'm aware some people use it less as a real life social media and more as a content platform.
Turned up my nose at TikTok, which has proven to be the correct option for online approval years after I made the decision to ignore it.
Seeing mobile grow makes me seriously hope that console and PC stay relevant. I'd like nice premium otome to play, freemium drives me nuts, but worst comes to worst even if a freemium hellscape takes over and few to no console/PC releases happen, at least I can play my giant backlog of already-existing otome.
Well, I'm very late to the game, but will be buying! From what I heard of the opening music it is great.
Hey, thanks for posting here!

Thanks for rechecking!

Always happy to see small indie blogs like this!

Pleasure seeing you here! I was pretty excited for this
man it's depressing how relevant it has become now, instead of a sci-fi philosophy thought experiment
Thanks for posting this! Sending to some otome-playing friends not on Fedi
Switching costs. I'll try Piefed someday
Autoposting weekly threads, and the ability to put the date in the name of the autopost.
What are you playing this Wednesday, January 1, 2000?
What are you playing this Wednesday, January 8, 2000?
and so on
Artstyle is very not my thing, but relevant to otome and single indie dev, so figured I might as well post

Well, lemm.ee went kersplat. Wondering if we and !visualnovels@ani.social should absorb it or not. @Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world
Thought about this because I came across https://www.filfre.net/2025/09/choose-your-own-adventure/ and it was a good read and wanted to post it somewhere here.
Hey, thanks for taking up the torch!
