What is your favorite platform to play otome games on?
Related: what platform would you like to play otome on, even if very little/no otome is currently offered for it?
I may repost this at a later date when we have more people and engagement: I like to discuss otome with people!
@Elevator7009sAlt I mainly play on PC but I'd love to play more on mobile, just so I can play more on the go. I have long commutes so that would be ideal...The thing is that most mobile games are freemium or gacha and searchability on the google play store is absolutely awful. It's hard to find good games ; v ; Maybe I should check itch for possible games first, you can filter by platform there 🤔
My Itch has a collection full of otome I want to play, maybe I should filter by platform to find ones I can play on mobile, thank you for the suggestion!
Honestly, because I'm on my phone most often, I'd like to play on my phone—it would mean I play much more often. It would be easy to open, far less of a mental barrier (even though that "barrier" is often just as small as "flip open your computer two feet away from you, type the password, click Steam/go to Itch.io, go to your library, click the otome game, click play").
Realistically? The mobile otome I'm aware of either haven't captured my interest, or I know them to be freemium in a way that drives me up the wall. Premium currencies and locking story progression or making certain choices behind that currency, timegating the story, gacha… I understand devs have to make money somehow, but I'd rather just buy a premium game upfront and play at my own pace.
I've also noticed that because I sit in front of that computer more often, so it is not two feet away from me, I have also been playing otome more often.
