Definitely a must play for any Otome fan. I could write a really long review here but I won’t cause it’ll go on forever lol. So I’ll hit the main points: the music and artwork are beautiful, and I did enjoy the short stories after you complete each route. Voice acting is excellent and I think the themes that the game touches on are really interesting and relevant, and I have a feeling the writers were definitely trying to go for subtle commentary here. I do feel that each route is unique enough apart from others that each one is enjoyable. My favorite was Akaza’s as I love kuudere, quiet types, and usually Otome poster boys/locked endgame routes end up being my favorite. My only gripe with his route is that I personally found Olympia’s tsundere attitude for the first half to be incredibly annoying. It’s rare for me to find a tsundere that I actually like/find endearing, and unfortunately Olympia in Akaza’s route did not fall into that category. It got much better in the latter half though. And for anyone who’s played, they know that this game can get REAL SPICY 🥵 I cannot stress how many times I’ve rewatched Akaza’s love scene because DAMN. IYKYK.
I will say as a minor complaint that I do feel the game is a bit too long. I think it could’ve been condensed quite a bit. And yes, TW for sexual assault and rape on bad endings.
