SPLENDIDEST OTOGE - Let's Date a Tiramisu! (*＾ワ＾*)/*:・ﾟ✧ Review

(whatisthisIdon'teven)

ALRIGHT. So I'm floating around and I see that the peeps who brought Cyanide Tea have another game out there: Splendidest Otoge. In this online game, you're a chick named -well you can use any name but I was randomly generated "Kate" so I'll use that - who's a high school student working at a bakery. She's promoted from cash register to patisserie, and her first task is to make a tiramisu that someone will pick up in the morning. So Kate slaves away in the kitchen, wanting her first cake to be super awesome for her very first customer. Before closing up for the night she makes a little prayer that she hopes her cake will make someone very happy. And then she clonks out.

The next day, Kate walks into the bakery to find that her cake's gone! ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ She's all "wtf where's my cake?" when suddenly some guy walks out of nowhere and greets her hello. She accuses him of stealing the cake, and he tries explaining to her that he walked out of the fridge and he's actually the cake that she created. She wished that her cake would make someone happy and well uh...ta-da~~~♪

Suddenly her boss comes in and asks if Kate finished the cake. Flabbergasted, she tries to explain that this guy took her cake - to which he denies - and her boss just sighs, saying that there's no need to make excuses. Oh, and to keep "friends" out of the back as well. Anyway. He says not to worry since he had someone else prepare a tiramisu cake as well just in case Kate couldn't make it. But the ingredients she used will come out of her paycheck. Eventually Kate decides to name him Tira and takes him to the police station to see if his fingerprints are on record. And so begins the adventures of Kate and Tira~

Basically you live a few days with your cake man, trying to discover whether or not you have feelings for a cake. ;D He even gives her 3 days to make her decision or whether she enjoys his company or not, to decide whether he'll remain human or go back to the life of a chilled cake. Kinda like Little Mermaid lol.

Good/True End
Kate realizes that she actually has feelings for her cakeman! And so she allows him to stay, meaning that he'll remain in his human form and be her boyfriend lol So he's still human by the next day, she's grinning like an idiot, and they live happily ever after.

Bad End 1
Kate continues to ignore her weird "'I let myself out of the fridge' is he really a frickin' tiramisu" cake thief creation. She allows him to spend the night at his apartment since he can't bear to separate from her, and has him sleep on the couch. The next day she wakes up to find that her roommate Sam - who constantly brings home guys and Kate assumed wouldn't mind if she brought a guy over for once - is up earlier than her. Turns out Sam had the munchies and she's eating a slice... of..... cake.
......
NOOOOOO! ・(/Д`)・  YOU'RE EATING TIRA YOU'RE EATING TIRA, HE, HE- Sam saw the cake sitting on the table so she just assumed it was for them to share. Kate looks over to see that there is indeed cake on the table, and the guy sleeping on her couch is nowhere in sight. Instead, the pillow and blanket that she loaned him just has some chocolate smears on it. So Kate just kinda shrugs and guess that the cake thief felt bad and returned her cake. However, there's this ominous feeling looming over her that she did something wrong..... The end ;w;

You know, one of the creators of this game wanted to include human Tira like.. half eaten of some shiz with this ending. But the other creators vetoed it, saying it was "too Yandere." It would've been interesting though XD I think there's another Bad End but uhhh I don't remember how to get to it.

Normal End
Alright. So stuff's pretty decent. However, Tira pops the question on their way home from work: did she have fun with him these past 2 days. She shrugs, saying it was okay; nothing special. She wakes up the next day to find him as a cake. (;*△*;)

Concluding Thoughts

This game was so adorable and it had plenty of comedic moments. I WANTS MORE A;KDFJ;S. *ahem* I mean.. gimme the shota strawberry and the delinquent red velvet dammit XD //slapped  The concept of this game is really adorable and I really do wish there was more. I even spread the cake love amongst my friends. One of my friends thought I was high the first time I suggested dating a cake. 8D But she played it and loved it as well, so it's all good haha.

Maybe for future reference there could be more sprites or sprite variation? Maybe a save mechanism as well so that one needn't thumb through the whole game to get a different ending. But hey, they're just little suggestions and don't distract from gameplay ^^
