Rob Pitt writes: Arcade Spirits is an Otome-style Visual Novel, in that the main purpose is to ultimately work on your relationships with the people you meet to the point of becoming a partner with one of them. The main difference here is that the game allows you to be who you want and also date whoever you wish as well. It’s very LGBT friendly, yet you’re never forced to do anything that you, the player, don’t want to do.
So, don’t get your panties in a twist and instantly think this game is out there to change your views on things, it really isn’t, it’s there to be more inclusive and adaptive to the player’s desires.

Hunie Pop, without a doubt
edit: Wait - this site puts it at #4 on the list but can't get its name right?!
XBA says: Full of charm and nostalgia, Arcade Spirits tries to delve deeper into something more meaningful.
COGconnected: A delightful visual novel with a diverse cast of characters, Arcade Spirits is an inclusive, romantic comedy that isn’t only about finding true love, but finding yourself.
