You can view the game here and obviously over on steam.
The art isn't heart thumping amazing and it has a card game attribute which could be off putting for many but we all know we are starved of otome games here in the west. The last game Steam let slip through was Cherry Tree High Comedy Club, well over 6 months ago. Each time a VN appears we are greeted with these "swell comments"
"I'm pretty sure the developers would lose more money than they would make with this game. A very small fraction of the steam community plays games like this, not enough to make a substantial amount of money. Just sayin."
"All these japanese pop culture games appeal to only a specific part of the steam community. The rest of us truly have no intrest in game like this, sorry."
"This game should be put into a potato sack, lit on fire and beaten before being tossed into the lake, So no."
On the one hand, maybe they are realistic, and there are many more comments like them, but what we need is to get all the VN lovers and otome fans to migrate to steam and approve as many of these kinds of games as we can.
There's no reason we can't have our own section on steam and if you get popular on there it can only encourage more people to bring otome games over. They already do the eroge games quite happily but games that are aimed at women with no sex are a no no for some odd reason.
By no means am I blaming Steam for the way the community react to otome, most often it's their chromosomes getting in the way, but they could help. One day.
Go approve, and in the meantime go check out zeiva's demo for X-note as their next game, Area X, is coming out sometime soon. If this area grows in the west, maybe someone will bring over Uta Pri.
