Free Otome/Amare Games for PC
*I'll be noting if the game has certain features like MC customization or pronoun selection
To look for more free PC otoge in English, try this VNDB filter:
Otome games that have only male love interests aren't going away. Indie games having female or nonbinary lis doesn't mean every game will stop catering to you. If you don't want it, you don't have to play it. Just don't be homophobic about it.
@euterness
Having two male versions of the song which cn fans theorize represents Neuvillette because of the outfits and the intonation (at least on cn)? The sun and moon coding in the background of the mvs?
@euterness
I kinda agree. I feel sad for Furina but Focalors must have known that herself as a human would make the same choices. If Furina had Focalors’ memories and knowledge, she would still do the same thing. Furina as a human is still the same worthy god of justice that Focalors is
I think that even if her suffering was so long and thankless, Furina would still have done it again given the chance for her people. She may be human, but to me she is more godly than most gods we’ve seen. A god doesn’t need a reason to love or want to protect their people
Looking for how the cn male version of La Vaguelette is different and being hit with interpretations that it’s from the male love interest’s perspective. A bittersweet love where he will continue to see the beauty of the world even after she leaves

A thread of otome and amare games I’m looking forward to.
(I only included indie otome games because I only play on PC and idk if IFI would put out PC ports of their games)
@blklilacc
From what I could roughly understand on lofter, it’s the male protagonist’s perspective. He is saying that even after she leaves, he will continue to appreciate the world and judge the past using the future. Bilibili comments also seem to think it’s Neuvillette’s perspective
Unironically got the most useful language learning advice (for me) from vn subreddits which is basically learn a few hundred most common words, basic grammar and start reading. Look up what you don’t know but just read.
I love focallette so much because of so many reasons, but also they're so shoujo/manhwa coded, it just hits the right spots as someone who loves romance media and otome games. I'm not a huge fan of doomed/tragic romances but something about them makes me eat it up
@Remellu
It sucks how much he cares for Furina in canon but so many of his fans hate her. Their dynamic is so interesting but some players are allergic to reading comprehension
I need to know what manhwa or webnovels hyv writers were reading when they wrote furina and neuvillette. I’m so sorry but neuvifuri to me has many common cn/kr/jp webnovel tropes
I really want to shill Ebon Light here so bad. Like play it if you love Bioware games but want something with a darker aesthetic and no combat. Plus, it’s pay what you want on itch
People think an mc having voicelines and a backstory makes them less of a self-insert. Most RPGs have self-insert mcs even if they're voiced and have backstories.
@Impeys_Princess
Switch otomes are honestly very expensive. I don’t have a switch because of the price. A lot of mobile only players probably play mobile only because of the price.
Anyway dating sims, amare games, and otome games are more often than not, not 100% wholesome and there will be content some will find problematic. Fluffy, 100% non-problematic vns are pretty rare.

Furina may be “human” but imo she is the most godlike of all the immortal characters we’ve met so far while her humanity makes her a relatable and strong character. I wish her own stans would stop diminishing her character.
Is not wanting to play female routes homophobic? No, but the wording I've seen some use can be construed to be a little homophobic. As I said, if you don't want it, don't play, there's no need to be huffy about indies having female routes.
@euterness
The suffering is too real for her. I hope the next time we see her, she’s in a much better place mentally and emotionally. I want to see her emerge from the lowest lows to the highest highs
Currently downloading and trying out a bunch of Japanese indie otome and it reminds me of why I want to learn Japanese in the first place- for indie games
Wanting some divorced angst from neuvifuri but they can't shut up about each other. "I was one of many people enthralled by Lady Furina's performances." and "Maybe Neuvillette is right." I'm sick of them
Lots of otome indies have unique mechanics. Most (non-mobile) otome games in general also have great stories and strong protagonists. Idk about the state of mobile otome games nowadays but PC/Console otome are full of great games
Some people think that if there's a female LI route, that's one less male LI but how do you know there'd be a male LI without the female LI? Maybe there'd have been less LIs, who knows? We weren't the devs.
@Impeys_Princess
It's like some people believe lesbian and bisexual woman don't play otome games. Nobody ever said that every otome game should have wlw routes but making space for them isn't so bad. The fact that this discourse is still happening sucks so bad
Unrelated but visual novel does not always equal dating sim and vice versa. There could be differences based on the kind of story or mechanics. For example, a lot of otome games are not exactly romance heavy and focus on plot
1. Cinderella Phenomenon and Locked Heart by
@dicesukidev
Fantasy fairy-tale story
*Cinderella Phenomenon has a fandisk
Also try their previous game, Locked Heart (also free)
Anyway I’m free from spending money on Genshin now that I have Furina. Her writing in the archon quest was disappointing but I love her nonetheless. She better have a second story quest and be happier in events
@larlaristy
Extremely mixed. I love focallette but furina is my favorite character. I still love her and consider her a great character worthy of being called a god but quest writing shafted her badly
I actually understand why it had to be Neuvi to give Furina her vision and why she would have powers. And this isn’t just from a shipping lens. Focalors couldn’t give it to her because it would be antithetical to what she was trying to achieve.
@euterness
I think the story did her dirty in the way the aftermath was handled. I personally preferred her and Focalors merging even if they become human but I understood the value of her sacrifice. The biblical references were too real
@Impeys_Princess
ToT is the most unproblematic hoyoverse fandom and I don't get why some people want to antagonize it's fanbase every few months. I don't play ToT anymore and don't like the gacha but I will defend its charas and fandom.
@Impeys_Princess
Need the people in your qrts to play an otome game. It's basically just a choose your own romance novel, they need to calm down cause wtf
@lunafleurette
I wish more people would look at otome/amare games on itch. So many diverse options, including MC customization can be found there. Plus, a lot of them are also free
@Remellu
I’m tired. I’m a shipper but my feelings are mixed. I love Furina, I consider her a worthy god who should be recognized but the writing shafted her. She herself is a great character done dirty by the quest writing
@DistantValhalla
I would love to see Takuyo titles or doujin games like Club Suicide. I'm interested in seeing more games not from Otomate, in general.
@Remellu
I genuinely don't understand why they keep gassing up male characters at the expense of female charas. A lot of female characters in genshin have female fans, especially Furina. Also, I agree story leaks are causing me to lose enjoyment in genshin
@blklilacc
I thought it was intended to be read in a variety of ways. Shipping can also be a valid interpretation because hoyo does work like that. But the amount of promotions…yeah okay hoyoverse
@Impeys_Princess
I really think that some people see a pale anime character and think they're white even when they're asian-coded and made by asians. Then they claim the fandom to be all straight white women despite the fanbase being mostly asian
Made Marion by
@games_velvet
Never been that into the Robin Hood Legends but I played the demo and really enjoyed it. Marion seems like a great protagonist and I like how there’s two paths with their own routes.
@Belfiegorr12
The official indeed states that they no longer work together. As for no longer talk, that’s not true. They talk in her SQ and his voiceline state that he will watch her performances
@kybk_fme
I actually think he loves furina more since he’s been with her longer. I think he loves furina for who she is considering how well he knows her and wishes for her happiness. His voiceline about her and dialogues in her story quest are really sweet
Call Me Under by
@LunarisGames_
I liked When The Night Comes and this seems to be more my jam. Underwater city, 1950s setting, and eldritch horror themes, Call Me Under looks super exciting to me.
