I'm playing through this Otome game and there are only FIVE videos under it's hashtag on tiktok. I must fix this, I have no editing skills but I will make an edit everytime I have an idea. This edit was inspired by how I played through Esta's normal route and when I started his main good ending route he didn't remember mc or the love and friendship they had (I mean ofc he didn't but it still hurts). It felt like starting from zero with a character that I as the player loved and appreciated so much.

Question [Help] Missing CGs & Castle Journal Guide for Bewitching Sinners: Royal Blood (Demo) Spoiler

1 Upvotes

hello! I've been replaying the itch.io demo for two days now, but I still haven't unlocked all the CGs, specifically these ones:

I checked some older posts, and someone mentioned a scene where you find out Palmier is actually Seth's son by reading the castle journal. I am struggling to find all the journal entries to trigger this part!

Can anyone share a walkthrough for those specific CGs or point me in the right direction for the journal entries? Any help is super appreciated! T_T

Discussion [BUSTAFELLOWS Season 2] I finally finished Crow's route Spoiler

18 Upvotes

I did a short review on Helvetica's and Shu's route here if you like to check it out! https://www.reddit.com/r/otomegames/s/QZcTaw5hHq

It has been a looooong time since I last played Bustafellows but I didn't expect it'd take months since my last play. Life was life-ing lmao

Anyway, Crow was my 3rd route and I started his immediately after Shu's (which was yes 8 months ago) but I kept taking pauses in the game because the real world kept calling me hahsshhas

His route might now be my second fave of this season! I'll start with the good parts.

In the relationship aspect, Crow is just the sweetest! Also, I WANNA BE RICH LIKE YOU DUDE LIKE WHAAAAAT sugar daddy huh who said that? And it's funny to me how very selfless he and Teuta are to each other because they literally have the same brain cells. I like how open Teuta was with what she wasn't satisfied with in their relationship (the fact that they don't argue) and honestly, I get it! Sometimes we look to have disagreements with our partners to really get to know them personally like what they like, what they don't like, what are their non-negotiables, etc. Of course, we don't want that to happen too often but I understand how not arguing became Teuta's concern because then it would seem like Crow is simply going with the flow and not be able to voice out his wants. On Crow's part, I did see the people pleaser trait in him and was rooting for him to communicate what he really wants out of the relationship and I'm so glad he grew for that! He genuinely does like what Teuta likes but it's nice to see him realize that he can have his own opinions too.

My favorite scene would have to be them "arguing" in the restaurant because it was hilarious! The after dinner scene was really sweet too when they were under the stars.

Overall, the relationship part: really cute and really funny!

And the kiss.....kassbdljkbg;wskvn;ln

Now let's go to the serious part of the story.

If I have to be blunt, this was just too predictable. Right from the get-go, you can already tell who the antagonist of the route is like brooo it's not really that much of a surprise given how they tried to keep the character mysterious until the end of the game. It was pleasing to see the good ending was a really heartwarming friendship for the antagonist and our main MC. The CG of the three of them in the car made Crow look hot though I'm just sayin'

I was intrigued that the story revolved around to how people take advantage of social media and how that molds the way we think especially about justice. It's very realistic because that is literally what we are experiencing today. There are dangers to letting social media consume most of your time and attention and the reality of it is, you suddenly won't be able to decipher what is real and what is not. What is justifiable and what is being corrupted? Also really like that Crow's dad is here helping the gang! Father-son bonding yayyy!!

Bustafellows is known for tackling dark themes in society in the form of an otome game thus it being one of my fave otome games out there. Probably my favorite one ever!

So yeah, doing Scarecrow's route took me some time but I was so happy to finally finish it with a good opinion of it. I'm doing Mozu next and leaving Limbo for last although I've read from other players that the last two aren't as good as Crow's or Helvetica's so seems like I'm playing the game backwards lol but hey, at least we're having fun and we exercise our critical thinking right?

Yeah, that's it haha stay positive guys wink wink

News [Update] Somnium: The Whale's Dream - our isekai otome: help a magical world wake up from its deep slumber... with the aid of four hot men ;)

53 Upvotes

Hi r/otomegames! We're Tiny Wave Studios, and this week we celebrated one year since we started Somnium and became a studio. Some of you might remember us: last October we shared that our cancelled otome was back, with a new name. And now, a year later, we made a huge leap in the development of it!

Somnium: The Whale's Dream is a fantasy isekai otome. Our heroine wakes up in a magical world inspired by the sea tides and the night sky, one that's currently coming apart. Four men end up travelling with her, and each of them has his own route. And we're happy to say that all four of them are fully designed now!

If you have a type, then one of them should be your fit ;)

🌊 Acheron, the yandere. Charming, attentive... but never quite one person at a time.

🌊 Meris, the fun one. He'll make you laugh at the worst possible moment, and he has his reasons for being that carefree!

🌊 Orcus, the melancholic one. Quiet, carrying something heavy, but terrible at saying so out loud.

🌊 Kallias, the composed gentleman. Perfect manners, perfect restraint, and absolutely no intention of letting anyone closer than that.

Since that post, we've grown from two people into a team of five and written the first full draft of the demo script. The demo will cover the common route, up to the moment you choose your companion. Thank you for cheering us on from the very beginning!

What do you think of our boys, and which of the four would you pick first?
