Idea Factory announced a batch of otome visual novels headed to Nintendo Switch including Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Rainbows~, Cendrillon palikA, and Nil Admirari no Tenbin.
2019 is a big year for otome fans. A region that is normally lucky to get a localization of any otome games is getting the second fan disc for one. It is a big deal. But, someone might also see Code: Realize ~Wintertide Miracle~ about to realize and wonder what is the big deal and how to start getting into this series.
David from BagoGames writes: "Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Rainbows~ compiles the original Code: Realize ~Guardians of Rebirth~ along with its pseudo-sequel, Code: Realize ~Future Blessings~ for the PlayStation 4. While both games can be bought separately on the PlayStation Vita, this Bouquet of Rainbows package is console exclusive. How does the otome collection fare?"
There is a name people caught up in the otome game craze should know: Otomate. This is the branch of Idea Factory that devotes itself to making games for women. These tend to be visual novels with dating sim elements, though Library Cross is a mobile RPG and I Will Protect You was an Otomate Forte Metroidvania. Lots of Otomate games have been released in English for people to enjoy! Depending on the system you own, you could have at least one title to try.
Awesome
