She Speaks
>> Sunday, July 12, 2009
Clearly, Bonnie does not know how to utilize her free time. It is summer, and this hypercritical girl spent majority of her time lazing around at home and complaining about her monotonous life. So then, her benevolent friend, Adeline, suggested her to search for otome games, which are basically dating simulation games for the
perverted needy girls. This is where I am now, spending hours clicking and reading through visual novels till I find the “perfect” guy. Sadly, there are only 2 otome games that I know of that has been translated into English, one which I doubt really fits into the category of a dating game....
The first title was suggested by Adeline. Yojinbo is basically about a girl who found herself in an Alice in Wonderland situation. Except, in this world, you are a princess trying to escape death, guarded by 6 4 very hot bodyguards. Your role is to make the right choices to win his heart. Although the translation is a bit iffy, the graphics are on the tacky end, and the story is a bit cliché, it is an adorable game that any lonely girl will spend their obscure amount of free time clicking towards their 2d animated perfect mate.
Then, I did some further searching, and found another game, Animamundi, a complete opposite of the other title. While the other one is about chivalrous men and princesses, Animamundi takes the darker road and blend together Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and FMA. I rather not write a summary, I'm sure anyone who cares enough can simply google it. Simply because I give half ass summaries and I won't want to get off my lethargic ass to write anything that promotes something that is non profitable on my part. However, I can say that it was a great game. It has a great storyline and voice acting. Byakuya plays the main character Georik, and Katsura/Gaara plays St. Germant who is a total 0.
