Hardcore Gamer: After all that work, English-speaking gamers can finally try out The Bell Chimes for Gold for themselves. Was it all worth it? That depends on what exactly you’re looking for in your otome visual novels.
The Bell Chimes for Gold, developed by OTSUN Club, published by Denpasoft. Released on December 10th, 2018. Available on Nutaku’s digital store for $14.99. Available for PC Windows, Mac OS, and Linux operating systems. Partial Japanese voice acting.
In this romantic otome game, you roleplay a socially awkward conservative girl who romances penniless older men in a desperate bid for a hint of romance.
Maria is jilted, cynical, and a little bit desperate, she gathers flowers to buy herself a loyal husband.
The Bell Chimes for Gold had a rough start with an unsuccessful Indiegogo campaign. The Japanese developers were not deterred and moved onto a Patreon format to produce an English Translation and an adult version of the game. We’re reviewing the (clean) Steam version which is available thanks to Sekai Project.
Hardcore Gamer: The Bell Chimes for Gold provides an intriguing setup for an otome visual novel. It stars a herbalist named Maria who was unable to marry her wonderful mentor. As a result, she endeavors to make as much money as possible and simply buy a husband.
