Maybe Amaraq redconfession madredhattie warhawk katsudonburi idk

(I'm just trying to think of who games okok)

Hatoful Boyfriend and Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star are certainly unique.

And pretty high-quality.

I think those are on the list already! Keep going. :3

thank you <3

Um, I haven't played Clannad but I hear it's good.

I have Magical Diary but I haven't played it yet, but IIRC it's by the same people who did Long Live The Queen (which isn't a dating sim but is built on a dating sim engine) so I have high hopes.

oh god let me plurk this and have a friend of mine answer

Dandelion (wishes brought to you) def has unique qualities. the translation's got a few minor spelling or grammar hiccups here and there but has def been enjoyable to watch, at least!

she translates a lot of otome games

Katawa Shoujo is supposed to be good too

unique setting

HATOFUL BOYFRIEND

...Just here seconding it.

for background, this is basically a research search for a friend's personal project, so we're looking for things that have a good system or are just a very unique take on the genre

Fair warning: Holiday Star gets DARK in the last act.

STOP.

like, holy shit

chirality: I can public my plurk if you want to replurk? Would that be easier?

I haven't played Holiday Star.

I think I need to.

Just warning that it gets dark.

Chatvert: I'm definitely not afraid of dark. The personal project we're researching for is going to get pretty dark itself.

Fair enough! It just totally blindsided me when I played it.

And thank you for all of these recs, everyone! I'm making a list of them. 8D

And not in a pleasant way. >_>

But the game is very good.

nah I just made a new plurk

machaera says ken ga kimi, black wolves saga, glass heart princess

sorry, don't do dating Sims. good luck!

blauren: also: moujuutsukai to ouji-sama, orfleurs, jooubachi no oubou, dot kareshi, alice=alice, Burn Your Fat With Me, Love Plus, Dramatical Murder, Persona (ish, haha), Arcana Famiglia

I...don't do dating sims. The only one I know of is Hatoful Boyfriend. >_>

katsudonburi: Amaraq: No worries, thanks for popping in! I didn't think either of you guys played but figure you're more likely to be aware of games than I am (because I'm super out of the loop).

Thank you for all the suggestions and feedback! I really appreciate it! I'm going to check all of these out.

You have all been most helpful!

alas I can't provide anything other than Hatoful Boyfriend and Katawa Shoujo, but they were both recommended

I'm trying Katawa Shoujo right now. :>

redconfession: Thanks friend.
