First Ever Otome Games Celebration Steam Festival!
Discounts, demos, and recommendations. All until May 26!
If you’re new here, I absolutely love Otome games. I actually knew this was coming way in January and have been patiently waiting until the event launched. It’s a shame we didn’t get any points shop items and it couldn’t get on the front page, but one step at a time! While this event did start on Monday (blame the severe weather my area has been under for this being late) it’s going on until next Monday the 26th! Until then, you can check out the various Otome games participating that got discounted, the various ones with demos, and upcoming ones that are still in the works. You can also check out all of the Otomes that are free. You can check out the Steam Event Page here!
While I did want to announce it on my website considering how much I absolutely love Otome games, I did want to give out some recommendations as well! Both Otomes that I played (either the full game or the demo) or just ones that seem interesting to me. You should check out the events page since I can’t play every Otome game and I won’t like every single one. I will also probably update this as I am planning on playing some demos too. So let’s get into the participating Otome games that I recommend checking out:
