Some helpful tips when you’re looking through a game’s page: if you want to browse through the developer’s list of games just click on the company’s name and it’ll show you all they’ve got to offer. Usually you get some hits by searching otome (kanji ver) so you can browse through the otome catalogue considering there isn’t a specific genre just for otome, though I cannot guarantee all otome titles will show up under that keyword search.Īdvance filter options has a helpful option to filter the games that match your keyword search that are on sale (though at the moment of writing there were no otome games on sale ? ). Left hand side there are some filters to define your search some more. When doing a keyword search you get this page. You can also do some browsing by genre, price etc instead of searching keywords. For example typing in o-to-me on the qwerty keyboard will automatically change the romaji into hiragana and the predictive text above the keyboard will give you options like kanji or katakana ver as well as other suggestions. I usually use the Romaji keyboard (shown below) which looks like a normal qwerty keyboard but will transform letters into hiragana when typed correctly, so knowing the romaji (romanised spelling of Japanese words) reading of a game title will be useful with this keyboard. To change the keyboard language just hit the globe button in the bottom left corner. When searching for games it’s good to use the Japanese keyboard for accurate search results if you’re looking for a specific title.
