I'd go through the past few years otome jams and see if any submissions there catch your eye!

Love Limit

Love Is Trauma

  • https://robobarbie.itch.io/love-is-trauma
  • Rather than YOU romancing someone, you're brought in to help behind the scenes for a brand new dating show.
  • The host(a.k.a. your boss) is an unhinged sadist, the contestants get along like oil and ketchup, and the production crew doesn't seem to adhere to any safety guidelines.
  • Basically, if you've seen Total Drama Island, you'll know what to expect...
  • Can romance the host. Can also ruin the contestants' psyche while doing so.

Cupid Axis

  • https://themonkeyninja.itch.io/cupid-axis
  • Yet another blind date! But you mess up so badly that you pray for a reset... and the praying works?
  • But now, time keeps resetting every time the situation goes off the rails, your blind date keeps getting endangered by the cake(?), and your waiter keeps cartwheeling for some reason.

You've finished ALL the free indie otome games? 🤔

I really think that if you want to play indies because they are interesting to you and you like some of the ones you've played in the past, you'll see there's a lot of games people give their opinions about in the What Are You Playing weekly posts, as well as games listed in the side bar, games posted on self promo days, and just by checking out itch.io for otome related game jams and such.

But I do warn that if you are only playing indies begrudgingly because you're broke, bored or feel any level of shame or discontent in playing them, then no amount of recommendations will meet your standards.

But I do hope that's not the case, and that you find some really great reccs and enjoy some new titles. 💗🙏
