Ok, so I’m not the target audience for Otome, but I enjoy visual novels so I gave this a go anyway. Strange going ons, after mysterious towers appear surrounding the
town of Bataille, preventing anyone from leaving and effectively killing anyone trying to. Weird religious cults, skewered memories, serial killers and vampires are all part of the show. Erica, the protagonist (and the character you play), a former FBI agent and currently appointed town Sheriff, is a little dense when piecing clues together and I continually felt like I was always steps ahead of her. And since I wasn’t in this for the dating sim aspects, focusing more on solving the mysteries it tended to get a little frustrating to not have her follow though on significant leads. I still enjoyed it’s x-file vibe but I think I’m satisfied with just one walkthrough of the story, despite my unhappy ending. Otome fans would definitely get way more out of this.
