Happy Valentines Day, Friends! Today, in honor of the
holiday of celebrating love, we are going to look at some of my favorite Otome
and Eroge games! Some of these games are 18+ but I’ll keep it PG-13 just in
case some tiny eyes come looking (I have an 8 year old daughter so I get it).
Some of these games are also still in development—but they fit the theme so I
am sharing them anyhow because they look amazing. So, without further delay,
here are some Otome and/or Eroge games that I either have enjoyed, or think
look amazing.
1. Quest Failed: Chapter One
Source: Itch.io Page
Quest Failed is an adult dating sim, visual novel style game
created by FrostWorks, with the help of others with the music, background art,
and so forth. This game is in the 18+ category, for nudity and explicit sex.
You play as a young man named Matthew who has dreamed of becoming an adventurer
for as long as he can remember. He will finally get to prove himself! So, he
picks up a quest at the local guild and heads out to do great things! However,
as he encounters his first monster, he realizes that this may prove more of a
challenge than he first thought…
In Chapter One, there are five different monster girls to
encounter, each with a unique personality. Jilly is sweet and innocent (with a
gooey center), but has a temper and is rather possessive. Nefertari is easy
going and relaxed—in fact, she’s so relaxed she might just fall asleep wherever
she is. Ruby is full of fire, and would be a dominatrix in the real world, I’m
sure. Lucille is a real snake in the grass, but is probably my favorite of this
group. Finally, there is a mysterious girl who you encounter—a real doll if you
ask me. Okay enough of my silly allusions to the kind of monster girls that
you’ll see.
Quest Failed has fully voiced h-scenes (those are the sexy
bits), which was interesting. It was the first game I really played of this
nature. I mean, I had played the Seduce Me series, but the naughty bits were
text based without the explicit images like Quest Failed offered. The girls are
attractive, and the art style is attractive. I wasn’t too impressed with the
music, but that’s more of a personal preference. Overall, I enjoyed the game.
The choices you make only really effect the h-scenes(types of sex), and the
game is rather straightforward.
This game is enjoyable if you like women taking charge (fem
dom), monster girls, or eroge in general. The game is on Itch.io for $12 (a
fair amount for the content if you ask me) and it can be bought *here*. If you
enjoy the game, FrostWorks is currently working on Chapter 2 (Yay!) and you can
see sneak peeks and updates, or pledge on their Patreon page *here*.
2. Monster Girl Island

Monster Girl Island is an eroge game in development by
Redamz. This game is a little different than what you typically see in these
kinds of games because it’s 3D! You actually walk/run around, complete small
quests and then of course see what trouble you can get into with the local
monster girls. This game is in development still, so there is only the demo
available to play for the time being, however it looks interesting. In the demo
you meet 3 of the characters, and get a lewd scene as well.
The graphics look nice, and the girls are really cute. Each
has a unique look, although you don’t really spend too much time with any of
them so I can’t say much else about them yet. The animation looks smooth and
the environments are nicely done—although I did have some issues in the game
trying to go where I wasn’t supposed to and got stuck in a rock for a while…
During the h-scene you get in the demo, there are many
options that give you control over how the scene plays out, which was
interesting to me. Variety is always nice, yeah? I played through twice, just
to try the other options. This project looks promising, and if you pledge on
the creators Patreon *here*, even just a dollar, you get to help vote for the
next monster girl to be introduced. You can download the demo on Itch.io
*here*.
3. Seduce Me

Now I know I covered this game before, but I’m bringing it
back, cause it’s Valentine’s Day, and it’s still one of my favorites.
Seduce Me is a dating sim, visual novel created by MichaelaLaws that follow a high school girl who inherits a mansion from her
Grandfather, Harold Anderson. Her grandfather was the CEO to Anderson Toys, so
the fate of the company is also in limbo. The MC decides to move into the
mansion that her grandfather left her, and she arrives there to find 5 wounded
guys inside. She soon finds out that these 5 guys are all Incubi, and princes
at that. A group of misfits has attacked them, and they sought shelter in the
mansion. In sympathy, the MC offers to let them stay in the manor until they
are healed up. The mansion is large after all, and she could use some help with
the upkeep.
The five boys are Incubi. And Incubus is a demon that
consumes and uses the sexual energy of humans to survive. None of them want to
force the MC into anything, but throughout the game, the MC might feel herself
growing closer to one of them. The choices you make throughout the game with
determine which of the five brothers you grow close to. I really liked all the
boys, but I think James would be my favorite.
The artwork of the game is great, and the colors are
beautiful and fitting. All the boys are drawn attractively, but are unique in
their own ways. Their personalities also set them apart from one another. Even
though their personalities are the typical tropes you see in a lot of otome
type games, the game is still very enjoyable. The music isn’t bad, and the
voice acting is very well done.
You can find Seduce me on Steam *here* or on Itch.io *here*.
The first in the series is free on both platforms, but the second game in the
series, which is even better than the first, is 9.99, also on Itch.io or Steam.
4. Seiyuu Danshi
Source: Itch.io Page
Seiyuu Danshi is an 18+/BL-Yaoi visual novel game in
development by Meyaoi Games. In Seiyuu, you play as Haato(or whatever you want
to name him). You’re lazy and would rather spend your time watching Magical
Ponpon than doing anything productive—like work. The problem is… you’re broke!
Also, your rent is due and you’re about to be evicted. So, you have to return
to work, with the help of your stern new director, Shibusawa Toshiyuki—or Tocchan
as Haato likes to call him.
The demo is short and gives just a brief view of what the
game looks like and how it will operate. The game has a lot that the developers
are hoping to implement. The game is planned to be highly interactive, without
the usual restrictions given by some dating sims. If you don’t want to work, slack
off. Don’t want a boyfriend? Stay single. Just remember that every action has a
reaction, and accept the consequences of them.
Other features planned include: a foreplay mode before sex,
reversible roles (seme/uke or top/bottom), dress up(The developers state that
there will be 500+ kinds of clothes in all styles, and also underwear choices),
Room decoration, NPCs to chat with if you’re bored, and a town with plenty to
do—a mall, café, book store, cinema, park, and more.
Something that I like about this game’s plan is that as the
developer states: “Unlike other dating sims, in
which the game ends after the main character gets a lover, in this game you can
still play even after you get a lover! Not only experiencing the intimate
moments, you also get to argue and fight like actual couple!” Because it’s
not all sunshine and daisies, right?
If you’re interested, you
can try the demo by downloading from Itch.io *here*. The game can currently be
pre-ordered for the price of 24.99. I already pre-ordered e_e;; It’s slated for
release in December of this year, as there is still much work to be done to
ensure the game comes out as promised.
Here are the honorable
mentions and links for the games that didn’t quite make it into the main entry:
- Sentimental Trickster
- Kiss the Cock (18+, really.)
- Love and Romance- A Study ofIntimacy
- Cute Demon Crashers
- Rose of Winter: I actually reviewed this game before, so I linked to the entry.
- Mr. Massagy: I also reviewed this game before, so I linked to the entry.
As always, thanks for
coming. It means a lot that so many people come here to read my inane ramblings
about games. Hope to see you next time!
Happy Gaming, Friends!
