I asked this question on the regular gaming forum and didn't get any responses. Maybe I'll have better luck here. ^_^ Anyone play otome games? What about BL and dating sim games? Angelique, Gakuen Heaven, La Corda d'Oro, all that stuff...

I can't say that I know what "otome" means, or BL...

Otome games, I believe, are dating sims targeted at girls.
BL = Boys' Love

There are a few visual novels I've been wanting to get, but I've never actually played any dating sims/BL games/visual novels/etc.

I can't say I've played anything like that,
but there is a DOS game called Princess Maker 2
that some may believe fits into this category.

It's not a dating sim, it's a child-raising-simulation,
but a lot of the general themes and situations are similar.

I've never played any of these. Most of them are fan-translated, and since they're usually obscure, getting them is not easy business. I once sort of had my eyes in Fate/stay night though.

;_; I downloaded that, but it wouldn't work on my PC *sob*

I've played some BL games in my days (hohoho) I played Lamento for a while but then my brother broke the computer so it was lost... I've played some Absolute Obedience (fun game~) and the Youka Nitta mini datesim... <3 They're pretty fun ^^ I wish they'd license Lamento, because it's so pretty and the music is so great!
...since 1992.

I think the closest to a dating sim game I've played is Thousand Arms. Its a good game, imo. 3nodding

You probably need Dosbox so that your computer can play DOS games.

It's totally worth figuring out, Princess Maker 2 deserves to be played.
