Bustafellows 2 gets a discount just in time for Christmas.

It's been almost a full year, but my goodness, I still love that scratchy sound that plays on the chapter cards for 9 RIP. I don't think I have ever been so enamored with a sound effect before. I just love hearing it.

The oldest otome game in my backlog is London Detective Mysteria, one of the final otoge released on the PS Vita. I waited until it was ported over to PC, and I have sat on it for all these years. Last year I made an effort to finish my oldest backlog games, but I never got to this one.

It’s crazy that the Fatal Frame 2 remake only costs $50. That is the same price the original game back on the PS2. I was prepared for a $60 price tag. I hope this is them testing the waters to do a proper 6th entry or at least a remake/remaster of the 1st and 3rd games.

The r/grilledcheese community is in another heated debate over whether adding sliced jalapenos invalidates a grilled cheese and transforms it into a melt. The existence of pepperjack cheese is causing schisms and fistfights to erupt. old.reddit.com/r/grilledche...

I feel called out. With preparations to get my floor replaced taking up the last seven months of my life, I haven’t play a single otome game since April. Bought yes Played no

Corpse Party Tetralogy officially a corpse. Xseed Games confirms the physical release is dead in the water and digital releases of Sweet Sachiko’s Birthday and Book of Shadows are not possible due to Nintendo’s content guidelines.

My copy of Mistonia’s Hope has delayed to the end of next week. I got an email from Amazon saying they couldn’t chathe my card, but it’s the same one I use for all my orders. I noticed there was some weird shipping refund related to a garage delivery. So I cancelled and reordered.

Wake up babe. The Techbros are recreating the plot of Expedition 33 in the most soulless way imaginable.

Standards anywhere are a threat to impunity everywhere.

I have two toes that have been sore for about a week for no discernible reason. It must be time to replace my shoes. The sole wearing out is usually what causes my feet to hurt.

If you like free stuff, this game is great. The humor is a bit cringe but this is an early BotW style sandbox game set in the colorful world of mythology.

It’s getting a physical release. Fatal Frame is back, baby!

I had to pinch myself, but it’s not a dream. The Birushana fan disc is finally being translated. combined with the Over Req Z announcement, this was a great day to be into the otome life.

The thing about the Epstein emails that gets me the most is not just how casually he talks about sex crimes or how he admits to colluding with the Russians to manipulate Trump, but how he writes. Misspells everything. Doesn’t use punctuation. Just comes across as illiterate and not too bright

can you really call yourself a gamer if you don't play candy crush at 120fps

Tomorrow Mistonia’s Hope ~ The Lost Delight releases. Next week preorders open for the Temirana Plus Edition. And December has Neon Clash to finish out the year. Otome gamers will be maxing out our credit cards to finish out this year.

Birushana Winds of Fate will have a Plus Edition. No word on a release date or what will be included but you can wishlist it at the IFI Store.

And there was much rejoicing in the otome fandom

Two today that I knock off my licensing wishlist. While not as overwhelming as 2025, the release calendar for 2026 has a lot to offer and still has room to grow.

Hurray! I had sort of given up on getting the Birushana FD considering how many years it’s been since the main game came out, but this is a reminder that nothing is truly impossible.

OVER REQUIEMZ, is a rich and emotional otome adventure based on The Wizard of Oz, and will be coming to Nintendo Switch™ summer 2026. A dark reimagining of the classic tale will take you to a new land with unexpected challenges as you try to return home. Find out more: https://youtu.be/DQ6Wi1_TKwA

🚨Aksys Games Announces OVER REQUIEMZ for Localization!

OVER REQUIEMZ coming west in summer 2026 Aksys Games will release Idea Factory and Kogado Studio-developed otome visual novel OVER REQUIEMZ for Switch in summer 2026 in the west, the publisher announced.

So I guess this means they are remaking the whole trilogy

My bathroom got demolished today. The carpenters knocked out the small shower to make a storage room and the big shower to make it bigger. Vanity and mirror got torn out too. Somehow, the room feels smaller even though that’s not possible. Unless I’m living in the House of Leaves 😱

Drop something white.

The Game Awards 2025 to Stream on Prime Video in New Deal With Amazon Viewers can expect “Prime-exclusive, limited-time deals across nominated games, new releases, hardware and more, revealed in real time.” Game Awards will also be livestreamed on Twitch worldwide in 2K (1440p) for the first time

Once more I don the rainbow wig and big red nose to predict Final Fantasy 9 remake. The time is right. It’s the tail end of its anniversary year. FF Tactics came out last month so there is no title to step on the toes of. And I’ve always had a feeling they’d announce during a PlayStation event

Mistonia's Hope: The Lost Delight might be my favorite otome game of 2025, thanks to an unusual story with opportunities to betray possible love interests. www.siliconera.com/review-misto...

The remodel starts tomorrow morning and they are putting an ugly dumpster in my front yard for two weeks. My grass will be smothered dead but at least I can toss in the chunks of wood from when I busted apart that cabinet.

Starsand Island and No Ghosts at the Grand have demos on Steam. These are two of my most anticipated games of next year. And I can see if they are any good. Please don’t let me down.

The Sins of Kaleido/ kaleido tower trailer was a lot more modern and gritty than I was expecting. In my mind, this was going to be a somber and moody fantasy piece based on the short reveal trail.

Voltage Inc. New Game: Sins of Kaleido - Cast and New Trailer Reveal! Nobuhiko Okamoto Kohei Amasaki Hikaru Midorikawa Takuya Sato Tomoaki Maeno The game is set in the same universe as Even if Tempest!

This one is coming really soon!

They are doing this because they are going all in on AI replacing workers from the game devs down to QA testers. From NFTs to live services, the Square Enix leadership are looking for an infinite money glitch that doesn’t exist and that makes them the biggest rubes, jumping on every scammy trend.

Gonna put my market down that the IFI announcement they were teasing is going to be 9 RIP Sequel. I can’t believe that is the official title Otomate went with.

Iffy seems to be teasing another otome announcement~ 👀

Humble Choice is so cursed this month. They crammed in 3 RTS games 😩 and three games I’m actually somewhat interested in. This feels like a good month to wait and see if they offer a discount coupon rather than bite on release day.

This game has been out for six months. lol. If you are still undecided, it has plenty of PlayStation 2 jank even though the systems have been reworked to the point the battle system no longer gets in the game’s own way. The plot is absolutely insane in the best way possible.

Very interested in this game but I am suspicious of the fact that are releasing two chapters per week over the course of a month while forcing you to pay full price up front. No sale until all episodes are out and reviewers confirm there is no crazy dip in quality.

Don’t sleep on this one. It’s a narrative game about Watcher, a clone of the Supreme Leader of a post apocalyptic dystopian society given the task of unraveling the tangled web of the All Mother’s memories. The world building and themes are like Signalis w/o horror & Nier Automata w/o the action

Went out to see the insurance costs for next year. Damn, they are so scary they should have posted this on Halloween. I never get a subsidy upon Enrollment just a tax rebate if I have a good year and my costs are up $100 A month Down with the greedy insurance companies. They are bleeding us dry.

I broke my post Expedition 33 gaming fast to play LotZ Echoes of Wisdom. It was an okay game that tried to bring that Breathe of the Wild nonlinear toy box quality to the top down style of Link to the Past. It was fine. I found they just gave you too many tools and you’ll be using the same 5 for

finally. baseball is over. we can only hope it has been defeated forever

Temirana preorders open at the IFI store 11/20. Looks like this one is getting a more restrained Plus Edition like Battlefield Waltz over the big LE collector boxes. But I’m happy with an art book or a soundtrack over a bunch of plastic merch anyway.

This version of Alicia with opera style vocals made my heart break all over again. Expedition 33 felt at times like a film, an opera & moving painting. Very fitting considering the role the arts play in the story. I love many different games for many different reasons but this one is pure GOAT

This bank is a criminal nexus where crypto meets kiddie fiddling.

Happy Halloween everybody.
