There is currently a crowdfunding campaign active for a Japanese indie otome game called "Monomagia Cantabile"!
They have a stretch goal for an English translation at 5M JPY. As of this post, they have made 2,293,000 JPY.
"Hotaru, a young girl with an old playing card she found in her grandfather's room, is transported to another world called Eden and wakes up in the laboratory of a young man called Jet. Jet, a suspicious young man, says that in order for Hotaru to return to her original world, she needs to go to meet a person called the Creator who lives in a place called the White Country, the farthest end of Eden.
In order to return to her original world, Hotaru embarks on a journey to the White Land with a young man named Jet, whom she met in the Yellow Country...
During her journey, Hotaru meets six young men. There were five nations in Eden: yellow, red, green, blue, and white. Apparently, in Eden, there are problems between the two countries. Faced with problems with various people and countries that arise in another world, and sometimes in love, the girl moves towards the fate imposed on her. "
You can view and contribute to the campaign here! Scroll down a bit for the English version.

Idea Factory has announced that 9 R.I.P will be released in English for the Nintendo Switch in Fall 2024!
There will be both physical and digital versions, as well as a limited edition available.
"In this town, there is a long-standing rumor about people being spirited away... They also say that people with lots of anxiety or those who are struggling are more likely to get spirited away. You think you'll be okay...?
In the beginning of autumn, during her second year of high school, that's what Misa Isshiki, was told by her best friend, causing her heart to skip a beat.
I'll be fine, I don’t really believe in any of that stuff anyway.
That's right... She doesn't believe in that kind of thing...It's just... Her life had been filled with so much stress, all related to what her future would hold...
That's when an eerie voice reached out to her...
Why don't we take a look and see what you should do with your life! Let’s put you on the right path…
And that's when all the strange things around Misa began to happen..."
Key Features
Over Our Dead Bodies – School Ghost Stories, Urban Legends, the Other Realm, and the Spirit World. Get spirited away to an alternate reality or uncover tragic and thrilling truths in the real world, offering a unique mix of horror and romance with 8 romance options to explore.
Nightmare on Otome Street – For those wanting something a little spookier in their otome, the School Ghost Stories route sees you trapped in a school where you hear whispers of gruesome murders having occurred. The presence of ghosts won’t make this any easier. Can you survive, and maybe even find romance in the face of horror?
Insane in the Membrane – Being in a realm filled with ghosts and evil spirits will have an effect on you. Throughout the game, your choices will impact not only your affection with the characters you meet with the Love Catch system, but your psyche as well. Making the wrong choices can lead to insanity and even change you into something else entirely.
Drop Dead Gorgeous – Witness rich environments and alluring characters designs. Beloved character artist from Cupid Parasite, Yuuya, stuns again with gorgeous visuals.

Alaris: A Story of the Stars
Enhanced Demo Out Now
Enter a world of magic—of Fae and Dragon.
A global crisis that only continues to escalate. A dangerous run-in with a shadowy stranger. And a mysterious word that won't stop gnawing at you. How does everything tie together? And what role could you possibly play in all of this?
Features
Aside from my blood and remnants of my soul, the New Alaris Demo contains:
A Customizable Protagonist: Choose your name and pronouns (including a whole new Expanded Pronouns system)
Personality: Shape your personality with four different traits and watch how the world interacts with it. Punch people, scare people, live your life how You Want!
Free Time: Choose from four locations and go on a date of your choosing with any of our love interests.
Affection & Stats Screens: Check how much the LIs are interested in you and what your personality looks like!
Communicator Interface: Improved messaging and calling features
Energy Vision: Tap into one of the MC's special abilities to see the different auras of the cast.
Memories: Revisit free time dates and let our love interests woo you as many times as you'd like.
Extended Music Room: Listen to the custom Alaris OST
Partial Voice Acting: Hear the characters come to life through the talented cast for the LIs
Updated Art Assets: All new sprite, CG, prologue, background, and GUI art (basically Everything looks Different).
If you played the old demo, the new one is Very Different! While the general story is the same, many features have been revamped to create a New Player Experience.
❝ Not all mysteries... ❞
Some mysteries, beyond man, have no logic, have no fate.
In the face of such, keep your wits close, but do not trust them.
Trust not yourself, nor your senses. Your time, nor your wit.
For where time has stopped, but its flow has no end.
For when passion calls, but hate runs deep.
Heed this warning, and do not wait.
For laws of nature and laws of man.
Have no logic, and have no weight."
❝ ...can be explained by the logic of man. ❞

Otome/Amare Games where you can get the girl
I'm finally making an official rec list of otome/amare games where there is one or more f/f route! This list is also only finished games. Had this on the back-burner for a while due to....life, but let's go!
Heart Fragment (Book 2) (Book 3;unreleased)
System: PC (steam + itch.io)
Price: Base game; free, Book 2; 2.99
Can you collect all of the fragments, solve the mysteries, and find your way to a happy ending?
In this mysterious otome game, play as a protagonist (name customizable but "Xani" by default) struggling to cope with the hand life has dealt you. Your mother's death was a tragedy that left you cynical and numb to the world. Now, though, greater challenges are piling up fast - and it all begins when you find out you are not entirely human.
The disappearance of a friend. A sudden attack that leaves you wounded. Mysterious characters entering and leaving your life. Growing bonds. Coming to terms with what exactly "humanity" is...
Please. Find a happy ending. Don't let tragedy be the only option.
[Em note: This is...actually my favorite otome I've played this year and may have become my fav otome of all time. Book 2 just came out and idk, it's burrowed into my soul. I need more people to play this so we can all yell about it and theorize about what's going on.]
ValiDate: Struggling Singles in your Area
System: PC (steam + itch.io), XBox, Switch
Price: 14.99
Set in the Jercy City area, our cast of lovers trudge through the dregs of capitalism - a journey, a transition - a rite-of-passage that leads into uncertain mid-adulthood. On one side but not yet out on the other, 13 playable characters find romance amongst cosplay, trash mixtapes, and even poetry straight from the soul.
With over 30 routes to choose from and hours of content, the lives of these singles are in your good (or bad!) decision-making hands.
Pitstop in Purgatory
System: PC (steam + itch.io)
Price: 4.99
Dang, you're dead!
Astrid wakes up in Purgatory and has to make peace with her death. Only problem is… she doesn't remember anything! Point and click your way through adventure-based gameplay mixed with visual novel storytelling, and solve the mystery of our heroine's untimely demise.
[Em Note: Has some point-and-click puzzles, if that's your kind of thing!]
Lake of Voices
System: PC (itch.io)
Price: Free
Anyone can be saved, but not everyone can be.
Kikka the Steadfast is a sensitive and empathetic woman who uses a mask of stoicism to protect herself from the harsh world she lives in. Much of everything she’s done has been an attempt to find some semblance of security, including the career path she chose to pursue. Kikka works as an official guard for one of the many tiny villages in the region. Her most recent assignment is to travel with fellow guard Bemelle to an allied town that’s been under siege by raiders.
With an ever-present sense of urgency, the two find themselves on the shore of Sinnlos, a cursed lake of black water that is home to the Nixi; twisted creatures who take joy in drowning humans. The two need the assistance of a nameless guide to even attempt to cross the maze of bridges spanning the dark waters. But they are not the only ones seeking passage that night. The guide agrees to lead them all, whilst also giving a warning that a group this large has no chance of making it across whole. Someone will be lost along the way. None of them volunteer to stay behind, regardless. And so the ill-fated journey over the lake of voices begins.
[Em Note: By everyone's beloved GB Patch (maker of Our Life). I really like their previous games, not just this one, and I always recommend people play them, even if they are all a bit different then OL.]
Witches x Warlocks
System: PC (itch.io + Steam)
Price: Base Game: Free; DLC; 5.99
Seven days until Halloween!
Seven days until the final exams!
Seven days until Fay Nightshade gets booted out of school for being the only witch unable to cast a single spell.
Take control of Fay and help them cram a semester's worth of studying in the last week before the exams!
How many spells can you learn? And will you manage to find Fay a date for the Halloween festivities afterwards?
The Women of Xal
System: PC (itch.io + steam)
Price: 19.99
The Power of Foresight is On Your Side
You wake up in the universe of Xal alongside Xjena. She came to climb up the dangerous political ladder against other women eying the same, powerful position of Matriarch. But unbeknownst to the world, you two have the power of foresight, and can predict the happenings of the world around you. Help those who need it immediately, or focus on the future and potentially help a wider range of people. The path is yours to walk. Or chuck her into a tragic death run. Players gonna play.

Also throwing this out there. Writing a script for a video summary/discussion of Mr. Love Queen's Choice's story, and I was wondering if there are any karma/dates I should mention that specifically gives more lore/context to the main plot (outside the obvious chapter karmas lol)
#em talks#mlqc#mr love queen's choice#idk if the video will ever get made because I'm camera shy lmfaO but I'm writing the script at least#there are 0 youtube videos going into the plot of this game that I could find#which is a shame because it's so wild and I love it a lot actually

In that once a year kick to play the new chapters of MLQC, and every single time, I forget how completely unhinged this plot is
#em talks#otome#mlqc#also a long time ago I said I'd make a video on how wild this story was and you know#I started writing the script yesterday which means it'll exist in another 2 years probably-

Putting this here too hi hello, if anyone has any thoughts/comments/tips/etc about this game jam I want to make feel free to share
Future Game Jam Idea I want to make happen
Putting this on my Tumblr instead of just my Twitter because I never pay attention to Twitter so I forgot about this idea BUT
During my Year in Review it made me realize part of the reason why I don't interact with the community as much as I'd like is that it doesn't really feel easy to break in, in a way that feels comfortable with interacting with others. I think the rise of so many communities being so heavily focused around Discord makes it super unfriendly to some people as well (I'm in the Indie Otome Discord now, however it took since 2022 to take that step to join any type of server due to my Schizoeffective Disorder/paranoia making Discord really scary asfjdlkafjl) and it just made me think.
What if there was a game jam whose whole point was to help with the anxiety of making a game/interacting with the community? Rambling thoughts below:
Placeholder name and subtitle: The No Stakes Game Jam (The jam to help you find friends and community)
One of the things I learned through doing three game jams last year, is that it's so much less daunting to comment on a game when it's expected of me vs commenting on a game when it isn't. It's so silly I know, as a game dev I love when people comment idc if I know them or not. But I think since I'm /also/ a developer it makes me overthinking it really bad. But you know. Life hack: you can't overthink commenting when it's expected of you-
Like there could be a requirement of like "You have to comment on at least one other game or else your entry will be removed" or something, and then there could be like a Bingo card with extra challenges if participants wanted to.
I was also thinking of using the discussion board to share resources to manage anxiety/mental health (since game jams can be stressful even for people who don't struggle with the community/socializing part) as well as posting maybe a check in or two throughout the jam depending on how long I run it.
There could also be two version of it:
Non-ranked for those that just want to try engaging more with other game devs and
And a ranked version specifically made for those anxious about critiques/reviews/etc both in giving and receiving and would have posts and resources to help manage anxiety around the topic, as well as general advice on how to learn to critique and how to manage getting feedback as well
The Non ranked version would happen first so that way people could transition from there to the ranked version after (obviously people can just do one or the other).
Anyway, this is just coming from someone with severe paranoia around internet spaces and is trying to think of ways to make it easier for others. If you've read through all this, thank you! And if you like the idea/have thoughts feel free to add on or share! I actually really want to make this happen at some point if I'm able to!
#em talks#I have more followers here although I don't think many game developers follow me?#anyway yes hi
