Happy 8th Anniversary Benichi!

(I'm a little late but my perfectionism got the best of me so this took longer to make than I wanted.)

As you know, the internet doesn't forget and neither do I. From the "Twilight Version" of Be my Princess to being trapped in cages, questionable relationships and often times even more questionable english.

This was such a nice trip down memory lane, though I also died a little inside. (Especially the part at the beginning. It's weird to think some people aren't even aware that thing with Voltage happened lol).

+ Secret Route at the bottom of this Walkthrough because the instructions aren’t long enought to warrant a different post.

You need to finish at least one route in order to unlock Allan’s. This Walkthrough includes the last Common Route Bad Ending.

Of course! You can expect complete success!

Huh? I definitely would have responded, though

Should I be happy I scored above 55 at least?

That is one of the biggest mysteries to me as well to be honest. Especially now that a Switch Version is available I thought that Clock Zero would be a done deal for localization as it is highly praised and often brought up as a wish title by fans.

Maybe Idea Factory will bring over Clock Zero if Cupid Parasite does well since they are the publishers in Japan. So let's keep our fingers crossed that they might finally grant our wish for an english version of Clock Zero 🤞

I’ve been wanting to make this post a few weeks ago but better later than never I guess.

As you can see I haven’t been able to make Walkthroughs for Cupid Parasite (yet) and I generally wanted to talk about me making Walkthroughs.

Basically the thing is that it’s pretty much become impossible for me to keep up with people that get review copies of games and things like that. CupiPara even went for the EU separate release date which makes things even worse for me in terms of when I can get my hands on games.

This might be solved by trying to get review copies as well which I may actually be able to do. I’m really not trying to blow my own horn but I do think the blog is renowned enough to potentially pull that off.

However, I am against the idea of entering such a relationship with the localization companies. People always say their opinion etc. do not get swayed due to getting a free copy but let’s be real: if you want to have a continous relationship then obviously you’ll be more likely to turn a blind eye to certain things and sugarcoat others.

I’m not sure how to explain this, but I also kind of feel like I’d be losing some of my freedom. You know, I’m not someone who’s constantly or unnecessarily talking smack about localizations/the companies and generally try to be positive/supportive. But, when the occasion arises, I do like to join on having a bit of fun and making memes when funny stuff happens. And I also want to speak my mind freely without anything holding me back.

Which brings us to the current situation. I am in no position to keep up with a lot of the other content creators. I do try my best to be quick because I know that a lot of people enjoy by guides, some even actually waiting for me to upload. But I can’t help feeling some pressure from the “competition”. And I do understand using the Walkthroughs that pop up first, really. If I were using Walkthroughs I’d choose the ones available upon launch as well.

So I am kind of stuck between a lot of different thoughts. I’ve always uploaded my Walkthroughs because I enjoy making them. I don’t want money, I don’t want fame or anything of the like. For me Walkthroughs are kind of a roundabout way of sharing my interest of Otome games which I can’t share with anyone in real life. There’s also the matter of this blog being precious to me. But especially as real life gets more intense and this feeling of being unable to keep up with other creators becomes more prominent I can’t help but wonder if there is still a place for me (making Walkthroughs) in the Otome community.

To be honest I haven’t really come up with an answer for that question yet. This post also got a lot more emotional than I originally wanted it to be, but as I started talking about the situation I guess that feelings I have been carrying with me for the past few months came to light. I guess for now I’ll try uploading the Cupid Parasite Walkthroughs at my own pace and see how that feels.

I appreciate all the hard work you do xoxo

Yes I'll be making Walkthroughs for Episodio 1926 as well :)

Her entire clan wiped out years ago, Olympia has been isolated for much of her life. Now she must travel to Tenguu Island – the only person who can perform a ritual that will restore the sun to a land enveloped in darkness. The heads of each district there (Red, Blue, Yellow) lead a society governed by rigid class structures.

If she can find a mate who will help her continue her lineage and save the world before it is destroyed, she will reveal to that special someone her heart and her true name.

[Content warning]

This game deals with a lot of unwanted s*xual advances/assaults and also has (implied) s*x scenes (which are not explicit though). Plus topics such as misogyny and the opression of women.

+ Visually and aesthetically one of the most beautiful localized Otome Games. The game flawlessly transitions between scenes and, especially compared to Bustafellows which often felt very clunky, there’s just something so smooth about the experience. Some CG’s have little bits of some awkward anatomy going on but overall I really love Satoi’s style. The Character/World design and vibrant colors are pleasant to look at. And the music matches the game’s fantasy setting well and really helped to set the mood.

+ Interesting set of Main Love Interests. I quite enjoyed everyone and their interactions, both among themselves and with the Heroine, though I have no distinct favorite among the LI’s. There are a lot of sensual scenes which, if you’re into them, might be one of the game’s biggest selling points.

+ The Heroine is smart, proactive and relatable but since the game really pushes these unwanted and often unavoidable assault scenes she ended up in a lot of unfortunate situations. But despite actually having the power to repel these unwanted advances she never uses it. There are people who enjoy this kind of content and there’s nothing wrong with that. But I feel like they should have at least given those who do dislike these scenes the option to actually make use of the Heroine’s power. I’d say Olympia was a likeable Character overall and fell victim to poor writing in some scenes.
