Mirage Noir is a detective VN focused on found family, inspired by games like Ace Attorney and Bustafellows. Story (quoted from the Steam page): Play as a detective, solve cases, and try to catch an elusive serial killer in this mystery visual novel focused on found family (inspired by games like Ace Attorney and Bustafellows) When Yunie graduated from college, she believed she had her whole life ahead of her. Returning to her hometown with a shiny new dream job, it seemed like nothing could stand in her way. However, two years later, not much has changed. She hasn't made any new friends, isn't allowed to investigate anything worthwhile, and feels like she's stuck in mud, moving in place. So when an unexpected opportunity arises, she doesn't hesitate to take it. The case is a weird one, but it introduces her to an eccentric team of people she immediately connects with, and she decides that no matter what, she won't regret getting involved. Even if it means crossing paths with a serial killer. Full game coming in 2026! The demo covers the entirety of the prologue.

Weekly what are you playing post! Post about the otome games you have been playing! I almost forgot about this thinking it was Saturday, and I now have time to try to fix the OtomeGamesBot, so hopefully you may see these posts made by a bot. Or I can do it in the Lemmy Scheduler, although I'd have to manually type the dates myself instead of a bot automating it away for me…

It seems more otome people have been getting on the Fediverse lately. [BlerdyOtome](https://blerdyotome.com/) is on it, kind of, via web.brid.gy (found out about that thanks to @berin@discuss.tchncs.de, thank you!). Frustratingly enough, searching for her via `@blerdyotome.com@web.brid.gy`, [which is how you are supposed to do it](https://fed.brid.gy/docs#fediverse-get-started) works on [Mbin](https://kbin.melroy.org/u/@blerdyotome.com@web.brid.gy) but not Lemmy. It does work on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@blerdyotome.com@web.brid.gy EDIT: Also thanks to @berin@discuss.tchncs.de I found out she has a Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@blerdyotome [OtomeKitten](https://otomekitten.com/) is here on https://mastodon.social/@otomekitten. I think both BlerdyOtome and OtomeKitten are not actually checking those accounts, just reflecting their posts on their main sites over to Fediverse platforms, but hey, at least they know we're alive! The two otome creators I know that are here are - @BestLaidPlans making Save the Villainess, on https://mastodon.social/@BestLaidPlans. - @sakevisual who made RE: Alistair++, Backstage Pass, on https://mastodon.social/@sakevisual@mastodon.gamedev.place There was a VN creator who did amare, perhaps otome, that I found on Fedi but I do not remember their name. I'll put them here if I remember.
Synopsis: The year is 1995, and you're newly single and ready to mingle in Stradania, the dysfunctional micronation whose chief exports are pig iron, human misery, and radioactive souvenir mugs. Sample the nightlife, try a VR trip or two, and maybe even find love - just try not to get your organs stolen.

Late weekly what are you playing post! Post about the otome games you have been playing! One day I will have enough free time to fix the bot!
Game released on 9/12, so I am a bit late to this post! The sale applies to both Switch and Steam, with both ending on 9/26. The Nintendo eShop also provides a sale end time: 02:59 a.m. EDT. [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2791850/Celestia_Chain_of_Fate/) [Nintendo eShop (US)](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/celestia-chain-of-fate-switch/) [Nintendo eShop (United Kingdom)](https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-games/Celestia-Chain-of-Fate-2623487.html) According to the [otomekitten review](https://otomekitten.com/2024/09/11/celestia-chain-of-fate-review-nintendo-switch/), the localization was done well, which I am relieved about. I think when I originally posted about this game on the kbin.run otome community (the community that came before this one and went down when the instance kbin.run went down), I noticed a mistake on the official website that made me worry about localization, so I'm happy to hear it was well done. But people might want to be warned about this: > Unlike your usual otome visual novel, this game does not branch from a common route to individual love interest routes. Instead, the game is very linear and follows only one story path. This means all the dates happen within the main storyline. So, if you want to experience it as if you’re playing one specific route at a time, you’ll need to carefully choose the options that lead to certain date scenarios with the guy you prefer. Otherwise, the heroine will jump from one love interest to another in each chapter. This happens because this is a straight port of a mobile game, where certain scenarios were paywalled, which is likely how the guys were separated out—just pay for the ones you want to see. This game removed the paywalls (and thank goodness, paywalls in a game you already paid for would feel bad) but judging by the review it did not restructure requirements to see certain scenes. Not sure if this will come off as her falling in love with all the guys people, or if it will feel like it was intended to be one at a time and that some of the scenes you see were not intended to be shown to you at that time. The otomekitten review says it feels like she's three-timing. If that's your thing in fiction, more power to you, but I figured I'd toss a warning 1) for those who do not want it and 2) I feel people who would be into legit loving multiple people *and* people who would be into a more deceptive three-timing thing would want it to feel like the story actually intends that to be happening, and not like an unintentional byproduct of just removing paywalls form a mobile game. I have a feeling it will feel like that unintentional byproduct, though of course I could be wrong.

(Twitter will not translate the posts for me, so I popped the text content into Google Translate instead.)
