Mobile Otome Recommendations

Hi, everyone! I've gotten into otome in the recent years. I got my start with mobile games, so I thought it'd be fun to talk about some of my favorites as my first recommendations post on this blog. If you have questions or other recommendations, let me know.

MYSTIC MESSENGER

Mystic Messenger has a chatroom setting with many beloved characters of the RFA (Rika's Fundraising Association). MC finds a phone with the RFA app installed, ultimately leading to MC's position as party coordinator. There's more than meets the eye with the organization and the founder's history, however.

Unsurprisingly, this is the game that sparked my interest in otome. I felt the chatroom playstyle was very unique and a relatable way of getting to know the characters. It's fun to get calls from them occasionally too. The characterization and plot are so enjoyable, it's almost heartbreaking each route ends after 11 days. I could easily spend months on each of these character's routes.

As much as I love that it works in real time, it can be difficult to play with a busy schedule. It's also heavy with the triggering/dark content the more you play, so make sure that's something you're comfortable with before picking it up.

Features: Chatroom, routes, calls, real time, dark content.

WANNABE CHALLENGE

MC is a model who has always faced misfortune in her life. She never expects anything good to happen. Some of her memories are also missing, including her history with the goblins, but they're there to protect her. Will her luck turn around as she suddenly finds herself living with four men and competing in the Wannabe Challenge?

I started playing this one more recently and I am in love with it. My only regret is not starting sooner. The blend of historical, modern, and fantasy is well done. The characters are so lovable, I'm not sure I can pick a favorite. The MC is pretty sassy too, which I'm fond of. The Wannabe Challenge itself is based on Instagram, so it's cool to see what characters post while having the opportunity to respond and make your own posts. There's also a dress up and gacha aspect to the game, if you're a fan of that.

The only downside I think is the difficulty of the photoshoot challenges, requiring you to have specific stats. You'll want to upgrade your cameras and cards wisely. On the bright side, the game is generous with free gems and occasionally allowing you to use a random SSR to help succeed.

Features: Instagram, text messaging, gacha, optional ads for free resources, dress up, challenges, affection levels, unlockable stories.

ARCANA TWILIGHT

The Summoner enters an unfamiliar world, filled with sorcery. Their presence seems to bring more chaos and mystery than ever expected. Why do they have a special ability? What is it they see in their mind's eye? What about them attracts danger?

I feel like Arcana Twilight is a very underrated game. I've thoroughly enjoyed the story and getting to know the cast of characters. Their dynamics never fail to entertain. I also appreciate that the cast is 19+ despite this being a magic school setting. Constellations, magic, and monsters are all my taste.

The challenges can be difficult in this game as well. You have to battle between chapters which gets increasingly challenging as you go. Pay attention to elements and leveling your cards.

Features: Gacha, challenges, affection levels, ads for resources, text messaging, unlockable stories.

LOVEBRUSH CHRONICLES

The MC is an artist during her first year at a university. She has special skills, resulting in her finding herself in different worlds. There are some familiar faces there too...

I was very excited to hear about an English release for this game. I thought the art was gorgeous when I first stumbled across it, and I still feel that way. They have an amazing voice cast too. I like the idea of being able to explore different worlds/universes and seeing the roles each of the love interests play. I'm looking forward to diving deeper and seeing what other worlds get released.

Much like the others listed above, there is a combat feature in the game requiring you to focus on your cards/leveling. Thankfully, you can bring support from other players into battle which may be the difference between success and failure.

Features: Routes, social media posts, affection points, gacha, combat, alternate universes, friend support.

THE SSUM

MC uses a dating app to find their "special someone." Based on initial answers, MC is paired with one of the love interests on the app. A relationship is built up over a long period of time. But is there more to the app than meets the eye?

I feel like it comes full circle to have a Cheritz game on my phone again. I'm a sucker for their games (Dandelion and Nameless included), so I had to check this one out too. I've only done June's route at the moment, but I adored every moment of it. I like that I can set it up based on my real life schedule and there aren't consequences for missing chats. I also like the ties to Mystic Messenger. If you're missing the charm of Mystic Messenger, you may want to check this one out to satisfy the nostalgia.

There are some other features on the app, but I'm mostly focused on the story. It is still fun to check out planets and posts by other players though. This game will require a lot of patience as the other routes span 200+ days. Parts of spoken conversations and some photos will also be hidden unless you pay a monthly fee, but it will not prevent you from enjoying the story if you choose to play for free.

Features: Chatroom, dating app profiles, planet exploration, community posts, optional monthly fees, real time, calls, routes (that can all be played at the same time).

I remember why I hate playing ikeseries games. I love their concepts and character design but dear lord.

What do you mean 100 dollar is the lowest price for diamonds? What do you mean you can buy diamonds worth 4000 dollars and up? I am sorry...but you are getting scammed here. No game is worth 1000 of dollars I'm sorry.

I'd love to actually purchase a full buy to play version of the game for switch. I'd even pay extra for a limited edition but you are not seeing my business for stuff like this.

[incorrectpicka]

hey! mobile otome fan!

waiting endlessly for the ssum? getting bored grinding in obey me? just finished your 1000th playthrough of mystic messenger?

play picka: 30 days to love!

picka is a mobile game for both ios and android that takes place in a series of chatrooms that unlock a chapter at a time: usually a day or two in game every 24 hours, across about a week in total. in that way, it's similar to mystic messenger, but without the intensive time commitment of mysmes.

in picka: 30 days to love, you play as yeonwoo ha, a university student and artist taking part in TDL, a dating reality game in which 4 men and 4 women are placed in chats where they all get to know each other, play games, and earn opportunities to talk 1 on 1 with their love interests or even take them on dates "irl"!

over the course of 30 in-game days, participants in TDL send gifts and anonymous messages, go on group and individual dates, and eventually begin to pair off based on your choices. as yeonwoo, you're able to pursue all 4 of the male love interests, 3 of which have both normal and best endings. no spoilers, but i will introduce them under the cut at the end. the girls are great too, btw, even if you can't date them </3.

the game translation is excellent, even down to each character having their own distinct typing style. all the characters are distinct and feel like a group of real friends in every chatroom!

it's not a long game, but it has a lot of replay value, since so many of the chats are specific to each route - there are also several side stories, a secret ending, and 3 after ending stories for the best ends!

i'm not being paid to say any of this, i just really love this game, which isn't very well-known yet. so come on!!! give it a try!!! and in just 30 days you too could fall in love...!!!!!

jooyul won, 24: a playful, outgoing university student who loves to cook. jooyul works together with yeonwoo to make TDL the warm and fun environment that it is, looking to make friends as much as to find love!

euntae cha, 27: a reserved, warmhearted veterinarian taking a step out of his comfort zone. though he occasionally comes off as aloof, euntae is a romantic at heart and willing to be vulnerable with the one he loves.

dennis miley / doha seo, 26: a translator and interpreter for an international corporation, doha is a citizen of spain, half spanish and half korean. easygoing and mature, doha is a daring person and thrill-seeker, despite his laid-back personality.

chunsung ki, 23: the owner of a popular café, chunsung is a man who knows exactly what he wants. polite but distant, his single-minded focus is dedicated to earning the heart of his chosen lover.

I'm quite late to the news but very very happy that the mobile otome game "For All Time" is getting global server release soon with the new title "Lovebrush Chronicles"!

I started playing the game on last year November and so far really enjoy the main plot and the event stories. The gacha element can be quite annoying but being someone with unexplainable bad luck in real life -- I'm not affected much. Well I always wait for the reduced difficulty period to go through the main plot and borrow friends' strong card to push through lol

On a side note, really look forward to the game first artbook. My Taobao shipping date is before 6/11, I bet soon can see lots of unboxing videos of the book! Can't wait to see the contents!
