"Please Recommend Me Something!" - Saturday

[magnuschase]

 Welcome, everyone, to our first "Rec Saturday"!

Here, you simply ask for what you're looking for in an otome game and hopefully someone will reply with a recommendation. Who knows, you may find your new favorite!

In case you don't want to be vague with your request, here are some examples of things you can ask yourself while requesting.

Are you after a certain genre of game? (example: one with RPG elements, something tragic, historical, etc)
Are you after a specific kind of character type? (example: tsundere, kuudere, happy-go-lucky, etc)
Is there anything you're NOT interested in, and may ruin the game/route for you entirely? (maybe you don't like bad endings, or you may have something that squicks you out that you'd rather not see. No need for reasons!)
Have you played one game, and now you're looking for something similar? (Maybe you played a game about a magical school, and now you want more magic.)
Is there a specific platform you want to play this game on? (Android, iOS, PC, Mac, PsVita...)

Good luck with your requests! Feel free to ask for recommendations all week---this post will be stickied until the next Rec Saturday, and this and all future posts will be tagged with "rec saturdays" so that you can look through past recommendations.

I'm really glad you're enjoying it! There's a sequel, Hate+, which is apparently also very good, but it sounded too depressing for me, also I heard the narrative made judgemental assumptions about players (not characters), which always rubs me the wrong way.

The writer, Christine Love, always does very interesting games, though Analogue is the only one that's appealed to me personally, and I think Analogue and Hate+ are the only two that deal with history.

I finished the first one and am now on the sequel. Definitely having some feelings about it, and I'm not sure I'd recommend.
