If you miss the window for a conversation-or if you're impatient and want to speed the story ahead-you can use the game's premium currency (hourglasses) to rewind or hasten time. How you interact with each character can earn you affection and determines which direction both the story and your romance life takes. The game itself is free-to-play, and plays out in real time: at certain points over the course of eleven days, you'll get texts, chats, emails, and even phone calls from the characters, where you'll be able to respond and interact with them through multiple-choice responses. But underneath the organization's beneficial veneer lies many secrets and conflicts among its members.
You find yourself thrust into the position of taking her place, helping to organize lavish galas to connect people and aid the needy. Suddenly, you find yourself thrust into the chats of a private fundraising group-the place you've been led was the apartment of their former organizer, who died under mysterious circumstances. The in-game fiction is that a mysterious app has appeared on your device, where a strange person gives you directions to a hidden (in-game) apartment. Companies like Voltage and NTT Solmare have been localizing Japanese otome game apps for phones for a while now, where they've found a good degree of niche success. The genre has long thrived in Japan, and recently has made some inroads abroad, with several otome titles releasing on platforms like Steam and the oft-neglected PlayStation Vita.
There's an element of role-playing as well as reading (virtual) emotions: what would the guy I'm looking to smooch want to hear from me in the current situation? Branching paths and multiple decision points mean that you can replay the story multiple times and see different endings, good and bad, while pursuing different relationships. Typically, otome games are text-driven visual novel adventures with a strong romantic component: the men you interact with are young and attractive, and through your choices, you can (hopefully) woo one of them into a virtual relationship. The word "otome" is Japanese for "maiden," and that's precisely who these games target: women. The "otome" genre is one that's not particularly well-known among mainstream game.
