Finished up 100% of the game this morning apart from the controls being janky I liked it. My only really big issue comes from the final two routes (after finishing the li you unlock two additional routes for the story), and how they came off half-baked.

Finished up 100% of the game this morning apart from the controls being janky I liked it. My only really big issue comes from the final two routes (after finishing the li you unlock two additional routes for the story), and how they came off half-baked. I was thinking of knocking this down to 7/10 but after the last route pulled me emotionally I kept it as an 8/10 because it was worth it. As for what next that is replacing this I am going back to Finish Hakuoki Edo Blossoms. I also want to make a note if anyone wants to play this on Steam and get a Steam deck while playing, if you want to swap between the PC and the deck you have to get files transferred between the two. After I got my deck last week I just mainly played on it after i got the files put in to get me back up to speed and was an enjoyable experience.

So I am about to wrap up my 3rd route overall, snd have about 56% of everything. I am getting a steam deck tomorrow so I be testing it out first with this game, and I am kinda excited because getting a steam deck seems like a good investment. One of my goals this month is to beat this game …

Started this tonight, and so far I am digging it the only thing I will say is it can be janky at some times but for a VN that not a deal breaker and it could be worse. Also, some lines are sadly not voiced and have to go in the backlog just to see what was said so that …

Picked up a few VNs that I've wanted for a bit with this big eShop sale. It's still weird playing them on Switch and not a PS system where meticulously completing every route/ending nets you a platinum, but I'm glad we're getting so many releases. (Ignoring the ones on the eShop that are just mobile game ports where you had …

Picked up a few VNs that I've wanted for a bit with this big eShop sale. It's still weird playing them on Switch and not a PS system where meticulously completing every route/ending nets you a platinum, but I'm glad we're getting so many releases. (Ignoring the ones on the eShop that are just mobile game ports where you had to pay for each character route and they're just not the same quality as the Idea Factory and similar releases.)

All of that aside, I started this up last night and it's been fantastic. The MC is probably one of my favorites from a VN ever. She still has some of the typical traits by way of her sense of justice, but she's also really funny and spunky. She plays around, sticks up for herself, and gives people shit when they need it. It's super refreshing.

It's a great game with charming characters (seriously I love them all. Shu, Crow and Teuta are my faves) and an interesting crime plot. Speaking of the latter I have many questions... I hope it won't be so long with the localization of the sequel. The ending left me heartbroken 💔

My only problem with the game is the lenght of each routes. I thought they would be longer. Also, I want Adam's route now!!

This the first time PQube handle an Otome and I think they went great with it in terms of translation. I found some typos, but nothing major. It would have been nice have text on screen for japanese voiced lines at the start of every chapter, but eh.
At least you can find the translation in the backlog.
