Sumire no Tsubomi Complete!

337 CGs
914 Memories
73 Endings

All collected! \^o^/

Finally. I finally finished my first ever otome game (trials not counted)!!! (Edit 03/05: Okay, this is pretty misleading. I mean that Sumire no Tsubomi is my first otome game and I finally finished it. I've already completed a few games which I started later. Check out here for the list.)

And I swear Mirai has (one of) the longest otome games. =.=

Had a pretty hard time trying to collect all the memories. Thanks to the walkthrough here and hints here, I finally managed to get them all. Whew.

As a result, I'm feeling really tired now. *flops* I think I'll have to leave the fandisc to next weekend instead. I don't want to play it with my mind numbed from the excessive replays to get the missing memories (no, I can't cheat and load from the save points). I want to play it with a fresh mind so that I can allow the moe-ness to fully sink into my consciousness and slowly savour the goodness of it. Yeah. :D

Edit 24/04 5:39pm: Okay, forget it. I can't wait one week. So I'm playing it now. Just cried buckets over Yanagi's after story. *sniffs*

Homo Homo

Just one to mark my first experience in playing through a homo (yuri to be exact) rabu scene in my otome gaming history. Hurhur.

Okay, so what happened is that I FINALLY managed to get my hands on Sumire no Tsubomi's fandisc and am working hard (since yesterday night) to complete the main game so that I can play that. Looking forward to not only the lovely after stories but also capturing the lovely otouto as well. \^o^/

De wa. *floats back to her game*

Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari / Trial Version

The trial version for Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari is out! This is one of the upcoming PC otome games I'm keeping my eyes on. The other being Akazukin to Mayoi no Mori (Mr Big Bad Wolf ohohoho).

Downloaded and played through it over the weekend. Decided to do a spontaneous flailing commentary post. This is NOT a review.

This is a story about a girl named Lucky Yuriko, a daughter of a viscount. It's her birthday and her parents are throwing a big party for her. However she's not excited at all because she knows that her family is having money problems (thanks to her spendthrift mother) and can't afford such luxury so it baffles her as to why they are doing this. Plus she's not really fond of all the socializing with the ~upper class~ society and shit.

Turns out that the reason for the lavish party is to find her a suitable husband so that she can quickly get married to some eligible guy before people find out that her family is all but an empty shell and she gets left on the shelf (rhyme not intended).

Then her father gets shot for no reason (or is there one?) and her mother fell ill. Money is slowly but surely dwindling. Her older step-brother who took over the role of the head of household couldn't care less and continued his libertine ways. (God is this some kind of English historical romance novel, what with viscounts and libertines and shit.) Things are looking truly dark for Yuriko when along came a suave-looking and obviously rich businessman who says that he will save her family and in exchange she will have to marry him YES PLEASE. Insulted, Yuriko angrily asked him to gtfo which he did but not before saying he'll return lol.

Yup. That's about it. For now. Oh, by the way, this story takes place in the Taisho period, which I find really interesting since I haven't played any otomes games set in the "olden" times before. Unless you count the "past life" arc in Hoshi no Oujo 2.

On to the individual characters:

Ijiwaru My Master / Luca (1)

Lucaaa!!! :DDD


So in the last post, we left off with Luca throwing the ball to Kurumi (i.e. ME) to decide who she wants to go with. Since I've long made up my mind to do Luca's route first, I chose...NEITHER. :D

WARNING: SUPER MAJOR CONTENT AND CG SPOILERS AHEAD

Regular(?) posting will resume shortly.
