Its cast and dialogue are brilliant, and its localisation is excellent, particularly when it comes to the humour.
The common route is as entertaining as you could hope for.

It was one of my most anticipated otomes of the year, and I found it interesting how my feelings at its outset and its full completion contrasted quite considerably! On the topic of otomes, mentioning Variable Barricade is a must after dedicating most of my February to it. It’s been an emotional ride, but we’re not done here just yet! The title is still thriving, as well it deserves, and there’s a lot more set to come our way with additional story DLCs for two supporting characters: Derek and Baxter. It sees players planning their wedding, reconnecting with old friends for a final hooray, seeing the whole town grow up in this final stage, and closing out the romantic journey with your childhood best friend. The purchase will net you another 2 to 3 hours of additional new material for the free-to-play base game. On top of that, they’re in the process of unveiling more and more information about their next title Our Life: Now & Forever - and we’re loving every second of it.īut about that wedding story DLC for Cove.

#Red embrace mezzanine update#
Onto my next otome that’s already taken up a considerable amount of my time both before this last month and during it: it’s Our Life: Beginnings & Always, which recently saw a new update with the paid DLC “Cove’s Wedding”. After the joy that was Yrsa Major, I feel confident that Heart Sigil Elchemia will definitely be one to keep an eye on when it finally releases. Thankfully, the degree of polish evident in the varied spritework is noticeably impressive, and the lore and central mystery alone have me well and truly hooked already. This helps make up for one of the game’s few weaknesses in its design: some rather distractingly basic backgrounds that lack complexity. The dialogue is a particular highlight it provides enough detail that it doesn’t feel overly expositional and instead breathes some much-needed life into the setting. There is also a cameo of Uribel from Yrsa Major to highlight how shibalist’s games unfold in a shared universe. It manages to pack in a load of CGs and plenty of dialogue between the characters to highlight how humorous and well-written the final product should hopefully prove to be. The demo gives a preview of the four love interests’ routes and the common route. The love interests include an old friend, an esteemed professor, a standoffish soldier, and an unreformed ishim.
Its heroine, who is both mentally and physically strong, can find love along the way with a companion of her choice while attempting to find a solution to the mystery. The peaceful union between elementals and humans has been disrupted, and the ishim are being turned into monsters. In this case, Heart Sigil Elchemia is set in the same world of Elesse, and casts players in the role of Risu, an alchemist tasked with finding a means of restoring balance to the world. The full game promises about 20 hours of entertainment, and this has me pretty hyped after experiencing shibalist’s previous work they have a talent for creating intriguingly lore-deep and uniquely fantastical worlds. Heart Sigil Elchemia, developed by shibalist, the same creator behind Yrsa Major, one of my favourite Otome Jam projects of last year, released a demo that is an hour long and available to play in your browser as a taster for what is to come. Since giving the demo of Luck圜at’s upcoming otome/RPG The Silent Kingdom a go, I found myself looking around for other promising-looking indie projects - and my eyes quickly alighted on another romance title aimed at a female audience. Let’s cover my primary genre focus first: the ever-fascinating world of otome games!
