Anime Expo 2017 - Aksys Games Otome Announcements

Zero Escape: The Nonary Games Thoughts part1 - 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors

lmao guess who distracted herself from studying for finals

999 is about a group of 9 individuals kidnapped by Zero and forced to gamble their lives in the Nonary Game in order to escape a ship that will sink in 9 hours. On their wrists is a numbered bracelet that carries a detonator, and the only way to get rid of them is to escape or to die. Originally for DS, Steam recently released a remastered version and bundle of the first two games. On the website there's an Answers tab that I would recommend reading once you've finished the game. It has some interesting stuff and also helps to tie up any loose ends!

Collar x Malice (English) Update!

Even though Aksys hasn't made an official announcement yet, it seems their Amazon page now has a pre-order live. The game will cost $39.99 and release July 28th, 2017!

Two Aksys otome down, two to go ^_^

Will update once Aksys makes an official post

Personally I'm still debating whether I want to get collar x malice or bad apple wars haha

My Horse Prince / UmaPri - Episode 1 The First Gallop - Thoughts & Review

Since I kept seeing a bunch of screencaps of it on my dash a couple weeks back, I decided to download this mobile app by Usaya called My Horse Prince (or "UmaPri" for short). I actually played this earlier this month but I couldn't believe what I had just subjected myself to, so here I am now ready to die lmao

Basically you've got this ditz who feels like she's leading such an unfulfilling life because she can't meet any hot men at the office she works at, which is full of middle aged men boohoo. Since her logic is totally impeccable, she decides to head to a ranch to meet hot guys because princes ride horses, so obvi she'll meet her prince at a ranch. Once at the ranch she seems disappointed there's just grass and sky (girl dafuq you expect), but then the ranch owner brings out his prized horse and she meets quite the... interesting prince...

Black Wolves Saga ~Last Hope~ Prologue English Translation

Prologue  |

ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ Heyo everyone~ The BWS series is one of my favorites, and since I didn’t see much of anything for the PSP game, I decided to post a translation that I’ve had sitting on my computer for ages. Feedback is always appreciated to let me know how many people would be interested in me continuing!

Prologue

[Note: The narration for this part is 3rd POV Omn.]

-Place: Sharlmessen Forest-

The rain is too fine to be called such. It's sifting down, making it appear more like a mist.

The mist covers the world, as if concealing the absurdities of the world.

???: … … … …

… … … ...Here?

Xceed - Psychic Romance ― Prologue Summary & Thoughts

Now that I have a system that can play more otome companies than just Voltage and NTT Solmare, I've been exploring and checking out more mobile otoge. *u*

Xceed - Psychic Romance (エクシード~超能恋愛~) is a game by Genius LLC recently released in English on June 29, 2016. The summary given is as follows:

“You lived the normal life of a high school student. You have always had a strange dream — is it of a past memory you’ve forgotten or something entirely different?

One weekend you go on a club trip with members of the Super Science Club you are a member of. There some strange phenomenon happens to your childhood friend, Haruma Motoki, which is followed by the appearance of an unidentified detective and a strange researcher.

The wheel of fate spun by your forgotten memories has begun to turn once more.”
