Might be cool

>>41957891
I actually have played Reijou Tantei.
The best friends 'suicide' only comes up in 2 routes and the resolution is sorta shit.
The 'shota' route was cute though. And It's nice to play as an adult for once.

Sounds funny. Should I try watching an episode?

>>41959946
Do it if you feel like it, but I warn you, you're likely to fall asleep when Chris isn't on the screen. That heroine can't carry the show.

Is this one worth playing (esp. if my moonspeak is weak and it takes me a lot of effort to get through a game)? Amazon reviews are lukewarm.

I want pil-vamp to make weird shit again but I guess R18 otome is legitimately dead now.

Why was Blue Impact so dreadfully boring when big brother e.go really knew how to have fun?

>>41959086
Might try it, thanks anon! Gives me Ace Attorney vibes. The blonde that is voiced by Suwabe Junichi looks nice.

>>41960295
I played most PIL games and all are N4ish friendly so you won't have a problem with the grammar or vocab. Has some katakana slang the newer games so I had to Google and used a text hooker for the kanji-unknown words but didn't even look at the translation that often since it made sense by the rest of the words.
This game is nothing like Mashou or Kusonoki though. Heroine isn't voiced unlike the other two and maybe that's why many were dissapointed. I haven't fully completed it yet, but isn't bad. It still it's WTF Pil-tier ends/moments, but not the ones PIL usually pulls. The art is nice. The lawyer is a fun schizo case .

>>41960316
Same anon, same, I'd love a Shingakko or Paradise inspired r18 otome :'v
Mashou and Kusonoki might have been small with ridiculous plot, but both really made me laugh and enjoyed them.

>>41960316
Nooo

I really like her design

Maybe steamdeck will save R18 otome, sisters....;__;
Can't believe last one was Kankinkon (non doujin) about 3 years ago.
With odalisque dead, Key la box and that aromarie one, only hope? If they ever release...key will be unvoiced tho.

For the past several years, 28-year-old virgin Mizuki has been receiving unsolicited dick pics once a month from an unknown man: "Look at my c*ck!"
(This guy gets off to me...?)
Having little experience socializing with anyone, much less the opposite sex, she develops a twisted sort of crush on the mystery sender.
But then one day, the photos stop coming. For the first time, she replies to one: "Are you done sending me your pics?"
He writes back: "Sorry I bothered you all these years, but I met someone, and we're getting married."
Enraged, Mizuki decides to solicit the help of a detective agency to discover the sender's identity.
"Supposing we DO find out who it is, what are you planning to do next?"
"I'm going to look at it."
"What?"
"I'm going to look at his c*ck!"
>Going to play this upcoming doujin by succulent tho haha

>>41961476
>"Sorry I bothered you all these years, but I met someone, and we're getting married.
What a cunt, hope there's a castration ending.

>>41957891
Weirdly enough I was very recently on the vndb page of that, but I can't be bothered to figure out PS2 emulation.

>>41961688
Now that I think about it, castration bad endings should be more common

>>41961918
It's very easy and all otome and bl playable! You want it for PC right? https://youtu.be/VlSvKVG0JYQ That's currently the most recent and most helpful tutorial. Highly recommend getting a controller though if you play games with gameplay like tokimeki.

>>41963818
Why can't emulators be like psp one :(
>available for both ios and android
>runs everything
>dekinais can hook with multiple MTL tools
>just download, extract and play
>isos everywhere around the internet
Vita and switch ones going piracy is bad autism and having to find ripped console roms, pain in the ass. Not to mention the strain on CPU and graphics card.

>>41963945
good psp recs?

>>41964172
My top are Kanuchi, Death Connection, Muskeeter and Confidential Money. I loved the artist for the oyajis.
Kaminaru Kimi to and Gekka Romance, also not bad desu.
I played a weird one with fairytale storytelling? kind of liked it, yet forgot the title. And one where mc is a teacher and dates her students or other teachers.
Chronostacia, never finished it, but wtf was that writing and plot.

I want anons opinions about Chronostacia, kek.

>>41963945
Vita piracy is easy if you have a hacked one.
I also play most PSP games through my vita too. It’s comfier.
Irrelevant if you’re relying on MTL though.

>>41966685
I do the same, vita is awesome, if only it had an emulator for ps2 it would be perfect. At least you can stream emulators from pc to vita.

>>41960442
Bad writing.

>>41958533
>Basically, VNs that aren't targeted at straight dudes are fair game here
I just like otome games. I'm not a faggot.

>>41973160
Play Mashou Megane then. Straightest otome game I've ever read

>>41973295
I was't expecting a rec but I will take it. Thanks.

>>41960039
I speedwatched the first three episodes and I may have shit taste for BLOG standards because I found it good. Elie is a heroine for young girls she reminds me of the classic shoujo heroines like Angel or Candy Candy. Lord Christopher is for everyone. I'm guessing you guys don't like the pace because Elie has too many introspective moments and spergsand LARP a lot.

>>41973295
>>41973355
Oh no

>>41964474

It will probably take years before another /blog/ game comes out that gets me interested. I hate this.

>>41982249
Yes, we all are waiting for Uta boys to stop going on stupid CGI tours and come back to games and give us a deserved a Dolce Vita, mamma Mia!

>>41982148
How is it? I wanna play this one. Does it run on windows 10?

>>41980255
It's 5this time of the year.

I never played Mebiusline fandisk, thinking of starting.
Some anons were raging about Senge, wtf happens to his fandisk route?

>>41982267
Not that far into it, but I enjoy its lightheartedness. Runs on windows 10 fine for me.

>>41982281
Does this keep up the Christmas/winter vibes after the set up of the story or does it go full on cult?

>>41982511
It's really on Christmas in the prologue.
Still, it's only proper to play it for the holiday season.

I haven't played it in a long time but Messiah is a good one for winter.

It's Mizuki's fault for not asking him to hook up before.

Anons what doujins are you buying this season? It's so hard to find /blog/ content.

>>41982435
>I'm tired and my feet hurt

That's pretty much it. He becomes too depressed to give a fuck anymore

>>41984838
I should be more ashamed about this, but I am totally not.

>>41984838

I wish ZAKK released new doujins, I'd buy them even if they were non-h, like all the ones I've bought so far.

Why does my favorite shit have to be so niche all the time?

>>41982666
>>41980255
is this worth playing with a texthooker/auto translator/etc.? i don't think i'm ever going to learn jpn

>>41991016
Sure, I mean I barely knew Japanese when I started reading if I'm honest.

>>41991016
It's not difficult game to hook or the writing so translation won't be out of context most of the times.
Go for it anon, it's a good game! We all start from somewhere. And auto translation has improved compared to 10 years ago.
If you are a baguette, it's fully translated on visual novel reader.

>>41991151
>>41991763
i'm giving it a try, and it's way better than i thought it would be -- though i am using deepL.
is the game supposed to be voiceless? i bought it from dlsite but i don't hear anything but sound effects and background music

>>41992145
They couldn't relicense the voice actors for future releases of the game, probably because it's R18 and they have "real" jobs in the VA industry now. Hence the version on dlsite is voiceless.

>>41992414
wow okay. i guess i'm lucky that the game only cost me like 8 bucks, as it seems i'll have to download from ab and fuck up my ratio anyway

>>41982666
This art is nice

>>41992145
Oh shoot yea as anon >>41992414 said shingakko, koibito yuugi and masquerade are voiceless the digital versions, that's why they are cheap. Thankfully it was 8 bucks. Aarin has all these games voiced if interested. Also shingakko gas 2 fandisks, one that is April's fool omake (crack) and Gift that has some mini games and after END stories.
Have fun with it anon! It's really good and really worth to play voiced since cast is very well known like, Midorikawa Hikaru, Kishio Daisuke, Tatsuhisa, Narita Ken even Kaji Yuki lol.
I will replay it too actually, my day off will start soon, hope more anons join and be like hashihime blog days back in 2020.

how the fuck do i play lamento in 2022

>>42008887
Werks on my machine, did you check the patch thread on a-f?

>>42008968
>a-f
did you mean a-s? if so, no. i'll go poke around

>>42009006
I mean aarin
I remember there was some fuckery with separate patches for w7 and w10 involved but the instructions were pretty idiot-proof

>>42008887
Seconding what the other anon said, the a-f version works perfectly for me. But running a VM with XP shouldn't be too taxing if for whatever reason your machine rejects it. Then you won't have to bother with patches either.

>>42009063
>>42009275
thanks nonnies,i got lamento working eventually. here's a pre-patched version on mega if nobody wants to fuck around like i did. https://mega.nz/file/gXpA0JBZ#6qaqN29AhKJ1is8_9q1wm06xDnslaotCtVs51A-GZRE

Finally finished Slow Damage. It wasn't as bad as people here say it is, though I did find it kind of unremarkable for a Nitro+C game. Contrary to expectations Fujieda's route was on the same level of quality as the other routes, sure you find out about Towa's past but that's pretty much it. The ending was very sweet though, I'll admit.
The sex scenes were mostly unfappable for me, but maybe I'm just not the target audience (which is supposed to be... sadistic fujos who love self-destructing MCs? Honestly, what's the appeal? What were they thinking?).

>>42011049
Anon if you aren't a sadist I don't think there's a way to explain the appeal. That said, I found the sex scenes in Slow Damage incredibly boring. They never once tickled that itch.

>>41980255

Any reccs for a guy who just got his feet wet with BL? I have read some n+c (sweet pool, slow damage) and hashihime. I wanna expand further
Also no matter what, I can't get into otome. Are they supposed to joseimuke or are there some general appeal ones

>>42012809
English only?

>>42012809
>Rec Chart:
>http://pastebin.com/dDnYWGem
Not sure if anyone's been adding to the rec chart in OP but it should still help.

Ooe will save us BLsisters

>>42011049

What's the game generally regarded as the best by N+C?

>>42016301
Lamento or Sweet Pool I guess?
But in my opinion their quality doesn't differ too much, your favorite is probably going to be the one that panders to you the most.

>>41996078
Vampire Knight

Did nipa master ever get updated for slow damage?

>>42013638
It should be updated.

>>41992168

>>42019193
I knew it looked familiar to me for a reason , the style is very similiar to Vampire Knight's. I wonder if it is just a coincidence or a hint to the possible plot..

Why did ps vita have to die out

>>42024284
Riri is hackamura 2.0 but she does it more discreetly.

>>42026039
Damn, nip autism powers of tracing detection are just scary.
>wait a moment, I recognize this pattern of eyelashes

>>42026039
I still don't understand why in the fuck she "had" to trace such basic stuff. It seems like a lot of risk for no discernible gain other than maybe speed, but drawing a wall-eyed anime girl front shot yourself has got to take a negligible amount of time compared to how long she must take with the linework and rendering anyway.

wow this is working out better than expected

>>42026364
Yes, yuiga. It's either yone or yuiga, the ones hackamuras choose to trace from.
>>42026403
That's hackamuras. I have no idea why they do that too. Too lazy to draw from scratch? Or know only how to copy and real skills are in reality shit.
>>42026605
You can make it transparent the background probably. MTL has improved that much huh, it's getting closer to human speech. I should start it too.

>>41980255
Replaying Hashihime in JP to train myself for her next novel, it's fairly harder compared to most of the stuff I read and I'm not used to read VN in JP.

Enjoying the way it's very apartment of how much Tamamori is super gay for Minakami on re-read, also a lot of good foreshadowing.

>>42024926
nips only buy shitendo

>>42024926
>>42029728
It's better this way. Most Switch games can be emulated, while Vita games cannot.

I just want an otome game where the heroine is the one doing the sexual harassment and raping :v

>>42030755
Tokimemo sekuhara is popular enough you'd think companies would've gotten the memo by now.

>>42030755
olympia?

>>42030755
There were like 2 free games released with this very premise in the last 2 years (I love you! and Watashi koso ga gakuen no ojou sama). It's weird that it happened twice.

>FFVII Crisis Core remaster coming tomorrow
Should I play it if in the original VII mako poisoning and test tubes awakened something in me to the point years later Last Order felt like straight up porn? Also gib relevant recs. I love Nitro as much as the next guy but they can't be the only one, right?

Just saw on qooapp a game called "daily with menhera-kun".

>>42042054
That's not a real game it just gives you my LINE ID

>>42042054
I hope there's an option to bully him into suicide or going on a killing spree

>>42042054
In my experience these are always made by squeamish poseurs for other squeamish poseurs, a true menhera game would be less in your face about it.

I just started Paradise. In which route is Azuma the sluttiest?

>>42035398

lol

>>42047269
n+ games transcend gender and sexuality. Except Lamento, that one is definitely xx-chromosome locked.

>>42046897
Good question. I'd say he's different types of slutty.
With Mitsugi he seems to cum from the slightest stimulus, and is so erotic he makes Mitsugi do the same, this is ascribed to them having "perfect" body compatibility though. There's also a memorable scene where he seduces/forces himself on Mitsugi like a needy bitch.
With Matsuda he's really quite enthusiastic and learns to get off on being beaten.
In Takara's route he's mostly reluctant in the main game, so probably the least slutty, but in Musubi and Kiwame he gets off on any horrible/extreme thing done to him. Takara makes up for it by being x10 the horny slut anyway.

>>42047269
i laughed and then I realized I never read any BLVN as avidly as he did, am I even gay?

>>42049513
Probably not.

>>42049409
Looks like I'm playing Matsuda's route first then. Since you said he's reluctant in Takara's route too, does that mean there's rape? Or is it just coercion? That sounds good too.

>>42047269
It's probably fresh for him.

>>42049562
It's mainly brutal rape with a dash of coercion.
Matsuda's route has that too but it's sweet early on.

>>42042054
Bully him into suicide?

>>42051740
KINO

>>42049513
He's closeted.

Best I've come upon so far was tokimemo.
I don't mind blge or otoge.

>>42072810
Shingakkou technically?

Also while it isn't a great game I remember Mahou Shounen Sky Prim, that one had just two love interests, the aforementioned mahou shounen trap and MC's guardian (I think NBR uncle?) who also happens to be their teacher and a total tsundere maso slut, if that's your thing.

>>42072810

Not too many R18 games with sensei, or where sensei bottoms.

>>42068857
Why?

>>42068857
What's the point if it's not the Adonis route?

>>42072810
Nothing worth it.

>>41973160
But why do you, as a straight male, like otoge? Not trying to be rude just genuinely curious

>>42038199
Yes. There's no one else.

>>42086583
Plenty of women read yuri and aren't gay. I imagine it's something like that.

I play these games despite being asexual

>>42091735
The equivalent would be women who like galge. But there's tons of straight women who seem to love big tiddy slutty waifus, usually cosplayers. The flip side of men playing otome is much rarer because men seem to usually get mad at hot guys.

>>42091735
Yeah, but there is no social stigma for women doing these stuff. You are severally underestimating how insecure the average straight dude is.

Hashihime
>Tamamori mentios he used to bodyguard Minakami as a kid because he feared something would happen to him while reading
Cute and gay.

>>42093756
Same but I only play one or two every couple of years. Never otome though. I can get into BL and danseimuke eroge, but never otome.

>>42093881
You're right; my mind blanked out and replaced it with that guy who played all the N+C games.
>>42094128
True, just saying it was possible to enjoy things that aren't targeted to your demographic without having to feel gay about it.

>>42094571
I've seen a lot of straight dudes playing n+c bl bc they are hardcore nitro fans.
Their fav is togainu, I thought they'd like sweet pool more desu.

How would you rate nitros bl anons?

>>42094810
Togainu >Slow Damage > Sweet Pool > Lamento >>> dogshit >>> Dramatical

>an ugly blue haired dumbfuck with atrocious fashion sense
>youji is below average
>towa is a wide nympo with big head and scars all over
>now konoe is kind of cute
Talking about it why majority of bl heros are ugly as fuck? Otome heroines might be dumb but they cute.

>>42094810

Can't decide if I enjoyed Slow Damage more than Lamento, might have to give Lamento a replay soon.

>>42094940
>now konoe is kind of cute
Indeed he is. His Kotobukiya figure is the only figure I ever bought. But I never like his VA, his voice is so off-puttingly nasal.

>>42094851
>>42094810
I've never played DmmD, just knew it was popular years ago. How bad is it?

>>42096467
Its main fault is Aoba being retarded and some writing issues especially with the "true route" and Mink's being a trash fire, Kojaku/robot/ugly hat routes are alright.

>>42132959
The braindead plot?

>>42136631
>playing for the plot

>>42132959
I played some ways into the common route but couldn't get into it. Something about the pseudo-US TV drama feeling it seemed to be going for made all the corny stuff I'd normally be able to look past or take as part of the charm of another otome game stick out really bad. Might just be me though.

Starting shingakko. Based voice cast. Priest is locked but better play kappa head first, russki, redhead then priest. Fuck priest is hot and I really like his voice actors rapey roles. Can fuck his twin for dessert but you might be dissapointed some of you. Reverse pairing, meaning can really FUCK the priest.

>>42140500

There's Kankinkon for your full throttle yandere rapist/stalker pleasures. Even the art style is kinda similar.

Any BL VNs with cute feminine boys? Most of the ones I see are still too manly for me

>>42161107
https://vndb.org/v19818
This one came to mind, as it is downloaded on my drive to read later (never got to it, so can't say how good it is — I'd actually appreciate someone commenting on it, also on how difficult the language is, as I want to play it in japanese, but I've only read one commercial VN and a handful of short doujin VNs + a bit of mobage stories so far), I thought the artstyle was pretty cute.
I would also say ADELTA's designs aren't really "manly" (though I wouldn't call them all that "feminine" either).

He is adorable

>>42162697
His unwillingness when bottom turned me so off. Should take example from Leonid who happily accepts the dick.

I'm going to buy Togainu no Chi as my first BL game ever and hopefully it's good.

I like Ruu but the fountain of spaghetti on the other side was too strong

>>42171136
unironically same

>>42164431
don't care if he isn't for (You) or bl/otome, no other guy can compete.
but Majima is close enough for bl/otome. :)

>>42171414
>voiced by terashima
God why
Can you tell me a few things about him anon? I want to try his game

>>42171581
Terashima is a fucking piece of shit but his work in Muramasa is quite good. I try not to think so much about the VA's history if I could help it.
>Can you tell me a few things about him anon? I want to try his game
Without giving out spoilers, Kageaki has a mixture between being a socially awkward autist and a chad at the same time. Because of how the story works out on these fluctuations, it's pretty fun.
Muramasa is quite long so you won't be able to see much of his personality until you get past the first chapter. Imo one of the best parts of the writing is the humor and how unique Kageaki is compared to a lot of other protagonists. The fandisk and side story aren't written by the original author unfortunately.

>>42169392
Already read it. Didn't find it to be hard aside from the few lines of old jp used for the spells etc. and thought it was just ok as a game (but maybe I was overhyped).

>>42165369
Thanks, anon. I wasn't particularly into Nakajou's other works (Taisho Mebiusline, Pigeon Blood), but maybe I'll give this one a try.

>>42171732

Good post. Muramasa is the funniest VN I've read and Kageaki is a big reason why, for the reasons you described. Another reason I like him is because I like mentally suffering low self-esteem MCs, and Kageaki is one without being a self-pitying pathetic fuck. It's easy to sympathize with his situation and the mystery surrounding it is also done pretty well. Every time Kageaki cries and suffers it makes me hard instead of annoyed.

>>42143614
This game killed the Zettai Kaikyuu FD.

>>42171732
He sounds really close to the LIs I like cute autists always fun, good I will play his game thanks anon!

>>42176175
I think it was crowdfunded the zettai fd so they wouldn't back off now...right?

I always wanted to play bullet butlers bc interesting plot and mc is hot and voiced by hirakawa. Anyone who tried it herem

>>42171308
I didn't expect to like Shell at all from how he acted in the other volumes but he was unexpectedly endearing, true. Vol. 3 is definitely the best one, poor Mitsuki was carrying all of 1 on his frail autistic back.
Ruu is just such a pathetic, disgraceful manchild and it's my exact preference. It's not often that main ML-kuns are allowed to have any personality at all, much less one this shitty.

Kageaki will always be in my heart. He's worth every bit of effort.

>>42171414
For me, it's Akane Hanachirasu

>>42183350

Akane is such a closet homosexual. The thing between him and the other MC was more homoerotic than actual gay sex. Very fun character too.

>>42183401
>>42183350

The conversation between Akane and the nameless soldier was such a great piece of dialogue

>>42183728

Whoops, meant to post this line

Pls anons help me find a rip for the first two Touken Ranbu hanamaru movies, I've tried in Chinese websites but nothing....I know not Chinese anyway so I probably screwed up

True, he isn't into incest. He isn't good enough to be our husband

Incest and blood relatives being into them generate kino autism so it's only natural.

Underrated schizo お兄ちゃん
>had a boner for his 弟 since forever
>voiced by midorikawa (kino voice drops)
>delusional
>confines his 弟 in most routes
>tries his best to make him depend on him, like taking his wallet, quit his job, stalk him everywhere he goes etc.
>弟's best friend is scared shitless of him and suffers severe trauma thanks to him
>when he was young 弟 was frequently approached by pedos because he was cute and gullible, it's even implied that oniichan killed one pedo after a failed abduction, and after that he locked 弟 inside the house and didn't allow him to go to the toilet even, he drank his piss everytime he wanted to piss
>弟's friend witnessed that one day and seen his bad side, 弟 doesn't remember because he was too young and thought it was a game oniichan called it "straw" everything he drank his piss and kid thought it was a normal thing to do
>his bad ending is pretty fucked up
>oniichan ties his 弟 up, again drinks his piss, and rapes him everyday till he mindbreaks him to his own sex slave. 弟 gets so mindbroken, he can no longer walk like a human or talk, only thing he knows is suck oniichans cock and get fucked

>>42199912
Wow, I played some of this (I think) a few years ago and dropped it before finishing a route because I thought it was a boring romcom.

>>42200004
In both koibito yuugi and masquarade you have to do the good/normal ends first, then the dark ones unlock. It's worth the waiting though anon, the dark ends don't disappoint.
Best boy childhood friend, from hirakawas good VA roles, he sounds so miserable thanks to oniichans and others bullying.

Any onii-chans that aren't fucked in the head?

>>42199678
rejet has many fucked in the head oniichans but i love blonde hino triplets the most (sorry for this shitty paint zatsukora lol)
always wondered how they kept casting him for these roles.

>>42200552
>rejet oniichans
>hino
Based taste anon, wabi兄 is so underrated.

Midorikawa voices good oniichans.

>>42200427
No, if they weren't mentally ill they wouldn't be falling over backwards simpering for the only people obligated by blood to pay attention to them

I find the usual oniichan archetype in otome to be really dull. Even the characters hyped up as crazy schizos are just the same 'overprotective and jealous over (you)' thing turned up to 11.

>>42200967
They do get repetitive admittedly, though I still enjoy them.

>>42200706
thanks kind anon. I love how otomate staff blog celebrated wabinii's birthday by putting an art of him holding a syringe with an unassuming face, very subtle.
I finished one and a half routes in MoshiKami and can't find the strength to continue since Ace had motherfucking villainess NTR in his route and Neji just morbing half the time...is Midorikawa there that good? I just want to bury my face in Akira's silly little bob haircut and he doesn't even have a route.

>>42200967
That's the best part. Although I think yanderes are better in middle school while red flags still seem cute and quirky and not just an echo of some shitty 3d men. Took the himbo pill and not regretting a bit.

>>42200967
They're shit. Even worse when 9/10 times the protagonist is a neutral good loser who just accepts it for no real reason anyway so it's just bland all around

>>42199630
Bey had some borderline gaylust going on in Dies Irae. It's really amusing and over the top.
The VN is yet another one of those ultra long chuuniges with rather vexing pacing issues but it's worth it for the characters and interactions, especially the boys unironically. Great villians and that soundtrack is peak.
I'd probably give it another go in Japanese once I manage to get through a good deal of my untranslated VN backlog.
>>42200967
If I'm being honest from my own experience, it's generally more interesting outside bl/otome genre. I like archetype regardless, though.

>>42200427
They still commit the same thing over and over again so no.

>>42200967
Oniichans are for slavery.

>>42202078
Sometimes the stereotypes are so overtuned it becomes good as a horror and not an otome. I really like how Gayoushi writes her "yandere"
stories about mc paint creepy pathetic old men.

>>42201505
My sides anon, nesso is bae but my heart belongs to Auger. I love his and his bros autism so much.

I found out about masato from an /a/shitpost desu kek, they told me about /blog too. It worked on the emulator, now it runs more smoothly so I played his game back in summer after that /a/ shitpost.
He is extremely kimoe, the game really worth for his route. Midorikawa still talks about his role as masato, even with his colleagues they joke around about masato. The most degenerate, disgusting oniichan rejet had to offer. I liked moshikami, horror themes are rare in otome. Would sell my soul to make kuki bros dateble but as always best characters are side charas ;-;

He did take bullying and cucking mikaeru too far but now I want ojisans to strictly bottom and be promiscuous.

>>42212291
my brother in christ I heard that moshikami true route is fucked but not to THAT extent what the actual fuck. Now it won't be as surprising since I read the spoilers but also takes that on-hold higher in the priority list lol thanks.
I remember a few years ago Rejet made an april fools site with all the brothers from their games and it looked like a cute crossover fandisk but if you scrolled the page you suddenly got locked in a cage and masato sprite appeared from the darkness and I thought wow they're really confident in that dude being the yanderiest brother NOW I KNOW WHY

>>42212808
I knew /a/ had a lot of rejet anons lurking, since they often make DL shitposts.
But during summer they joined shoujo or made dl threads and talked regularly about rejet and otome in general and moshikamifags joined as well to spread the masato gospel.
Even persuaded some male lurkers to start otome. There was a male anon who had a strong boner for a side chara from olympia soiree? That sidechara had a limp dick and a portrait of himself holding a gun? I haven't played the game so I forgot who he was talking about but his posts were hilarious haha.
I bet anons from here joined the threads, it was really based and fun.

Masato is ultra kimoe for other reasons too like collecting and eating his sis clipped toenails and fallen hair from the shower drain, licking her sweaty feet and toes and other gross kimoe stuff.
The rejestic Brothers event ;-; Fuck rejet for taking the videos down I'd kill to have them.

Favorite thing you played in 2022?

>>42241452
None

>>42241452
Can't decide on one:
Dies Irae
Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari
Cupid Parasite
tfw realized I haven't played a "real" game in ages besides VNs.

>>42246527
I was the opposite last year, I hardly touched VNs even though most years I'd probably get through one every week or two. I got really into the nier/drakengard games for some reason I can't really understand myself, which led to getting through the rest of my non VN backlog.
I did play choudoku though, and it didn't disappoint.

Whats this
https://www.plus-mate.com/

>>42246627
There are a lot of untranslated VNs I want to go through + recs from friends so I feel like I'm going to definitely continue this trend for 2023 as well. I feel like with the current video game atmosphere nowadays, there isn't much I want to play besides older titles.
The last actual video game I've played was Troubleshooter, some cheesy Korean XCOM knock off. I should get back to it eventually since it was pretty good.

Don't know who this is but I have an irrational hatred of doctor characters so I'll pass. Nothing irritates me more than when a character who's otherwise promising gets a doctor gimmick slapped on them too.
Maybe it's because it feels like a shameless ploy for my affections. 'Look at this guy, he's presumably hard working, earns a good salary and is caring, wouldn't you want a man like this'. They are always bland too, even when there's supposed to be some kind of dark twist. And I hate their goofy white coat + stethoscope getups they have on literally all the time no matter the situation.

>>42249364
I wouldn't trust a doctor dress like that.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm4wsp6_2tM
Is this actually otome or is it just a regular joseimuke gacha with a touching game. Though it's a korean game so maybe it doesn't belong here even if that was the case.
The character profiles are really something.

>>42268285
He is perfect, perfect best husband ever, I'd die just to be by his side, as his wife and imouto. We don't deserve him.
There won't be someone like him ever. Even if that vaporware aromarie game ever releases, the schizo there can't top Majima. Not even close.
MAJIMA

>>42269092
I hate how gooks draw everyone's heads too small

but why

Do horror otome games exist? I feel like something like that could be cool

I'm in the process of cleaning out my place and found the 1:10 scale Konoe figure released by Kotobukiya in 2007, which includes a short original drama CD. I did a cursory search and could not find it on Nyaa and while there were some drama CD tracks on Youtube it doesn't seem like they're the same track, so for archival's sake I went ahead and ripped it.

The CD consists of one track, which is 6:26 long. The attached image is the case for the CD.

>>42272092

>>42271638

>>42275517
For publicity.

>>42271638
ugly font

Which one of you is responsible for this

>>42282884
Well not me, I have much better taste than that.

>>42272092
Holy shit, thanks Anon!
But how cluttered was your room that this got buried?

>>42272092
Thanks

>>42272092
Thanks anon! Is the Asato one uploaded anywhere? Because if not I could also dig up my own. Finding an optical drive might take some time though so I don't want to bother if it exists somewhere.

>>42283522
Not very cluttered, I just haven't had much in the way of storage space or figure display space until now, so it got a little buried behind CDs and games. Finding a good display place for it was never a major priority because I've never played the game, though I am a big fan of the OST. It was a gift from a relative fifteen years ago because "anon likes anime, that's an anime". That said, it is a pretty nice looking figure, so he's filling a gap on my bookshelf now.

>>42290371
The only things that showed up for Lamento on Nyaa are a holiday spinoff game and a Miku CD. On Youtube, this was the playlist that I found when I searched Lamento Drama CD, so I was cross-checked against that: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4yMcmFR0_woB1zLIhuQ05EIJi2PTGJmy

There are a pair of tracks that refer to Asato:
https://youtu.be/okjJ7IwZm68
https://youtu.be/A_MIhQWDh_k
But assuming that the image displayed is the CD cover, it looks more like a formally released drama CD rather than a package bonus. If there's anything in a dedicated fan community or some ancient secret IRC, I have no idea.

>>42290857
Thanks for the info. The bonus CD's cover was very similar to the Konoe one, but used the flower field CGI. It's been ages since I last listened to it so I can't say for certain that the one on youtube is something else, but think so. I'll see if I can find it to compare. It's... somewhere.

On a somewhat related note, has anyone ever scanned the 2-volume Kadokawa LN? Since I don't have a scanner I can't exactly offer right now, but I could keep it in mind if the opportunity ever comes up.

And on the off chance someone wants to see the CD itself.

>>42290949
No problem. If there's anything a lifetime of being a weeb has taught me, it is the precariousness of objects and information and the need for preservation. There are too many stories along the lines of "this interesting thing would have been lost forever, if not for some guy who crawled into a dumpster to get the computer it was archived on".

>>42291044
Dog bless the dumpster divers, they've rescued so many games I never would have been able to play without them.
Meanwhile the only contribution I could make to humanity are a bunch of 4chain threads I archived for myself before the then modern archives convinced me that they would do it better and stay around forever. Ah well.

Based sisters. I’ve read the novel version of Aromarie’s new game and you’re right that the psychopathic schizo there doesn’t hold a candle to Majima. Though he is interesting in his own way, he just doesn’t have the delicious complexity and eternal suffering that Majima has. Also NBR which is less based

>>42317260
