I'm having trouble picking an otome game to buy from the steam sale. What are you opinions on Nameless, Nightshade, and the Men of Yoshiwara
Nameless is very good, but it takes⦠a long time to get to the meat of the story. Like Dandelion. Iāve actually tried to get into both of those, but I have adhd and itās so hard to stick with them. Iāve heard so many good things though, and if you like the other Cheritz titles itāll be worth the money. Great writing. EDIT: I havenāt played enough of Nameless, itās not a stat-raiser haha. I should play it again >_>
Nightshade, oh my god, only get into this one if you are okay with a lot of pain. Itās a really well written game with beautiful art but oh my god, you suffer no matter what ending you get, the bad endings just rub salt in the wounds.
Both of the Yoshiwara games are good, but they suffer from the same problems the rest of dozengaka labs games do: sort of bad resolution, occasional weirdness with the translation, and while the ios/android versions of their games have live2d moving sprites, the steam versions DO NOT. Iām kinda disappointed in that and almost wish Iād just bought the android versions instead orz. But steam is cheaper, especially on sale.
That said, I still like the characters and stories.
If you have to pick one out of all the ones you listed, Iād say Nightshade, just because I personally am having a wild ride with it right now. Youāll suffer, but youāll enjoy it. Sort of. Maybe itās just the masochist in me. orz
