Not gonna lie, only one new otome title announced is a bit of a bummer...it's a Spring release though, so I'm guessing they'll announce more early next year.

So happy that Project M has secured a publisher already! I've been following the game since the start so it sounds like it's far enough along that publishers feel confident it will be released.

Tristia looks like fun. Gives me Atelier vibes.

I'm pretty let down by there only being one otome announcement, especially since it's supposed to be pretty short, and the reviews I've read weren't great. It's really too bad that it wasn't at least Trouble Magia or Honey Vibes instead.

Ooh, a shop sim with a 2000s art style, looks cute.

Shame about only one otome, and not a very good one from what I heard.

I am very surprised at the style Project M is going for considering Fata Morgana’s more depressing gothic vibe (the game is a work of art by the way.) I hope the Novect team can pull a miracle and give us 2 masterpieces back to back.

Good for mystery game fans, fans of Atelier type games, fans of the Goonies, etc.

The mystery VNs look great! The Otome one, not so much...
I don't think I have heard anything good about Otome Daoshi besides being pretty.
I heard Aksys can't freely choose what they can localise from Otomate, which might explain this.
But man. There is no way IFI will localise everything promising instead. Not to mention that I genereally like the localisation work of Aksys more.
They also still have Temirana for next year.

A part of me was hoping for maybe Kamigami no Asobi or Utapri since Aksys has localised Jack Jeanne, but who knows how Broccoli thinks about that.

Wait, Tristia isn't out over here on Switch? I genuinely thought it was...lol.

But then again, Yumemi Dreamer and Symphonic Rain (both also by Kogado) aren't on the US eShop either, and those both have multiple language options on the Japanese version, too, so hopefully Aksys will consider publishing them if Tristia does well.
