What I really liked about this game is that it's possible to complete and even 100-percent it without a guide as it's mostly clear what you need to pick and in what combinations to get a certain result. The MC is great. Players get to determine her personality by choosing certain role-playing options. Love interests are very interesting people with unique personalities. The only drawback of TRoS is that some secondary and minor characters don't even have sprites -- they are just silhouettes.

A sequel is in the works: https://blackcrosstaylor.itch.io/ttow

Customisable (in terms of appearance and personality/interests) heroine, mild stat building (or whatever it's called when you plan daily/weekly activities), mystery (solving it is optional), wonderful date-able characters (my favourite was the one with the green hair; sadly, I forgot his name).

Upcoming game by the same devs: https://scribbles.itch.io/as-we-know-it

Also has a Steam page:

Interesting suggestions! Thanks that you took your time to write it down! I haven't played any of these yet, but it certainly sounds like they are worth a try!

Just thought I'd suggest a couple of somewhat less-known otome that I'd played and liked

(even though the game is un-finished for overall plot but each episode story have story of it own, it really worth the price)

Thank you for the great suggestions! We'll surely review some of them.

Oh, I have some of them in my backlog. Arcadia Fallen will come first, already started playing it. Fata Morgana after that, most likely. (Also, I need to continue with Beyond Eden already, ffs xD) Thanks

Too hard for me it was dating santa or some shit

So, you don't have any other reason for complaining about the recommendation other than "it's shit"? :D
