We really need assertive female lead character choosing from shy guys.. I seriously don't like all these seducting males controlling the lead female character in otome games.. They do not do this with the games which are aimed for "males", even more, they highly objectify female "candidates" in ways which force others to percieve them as "passive"...

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Yeah I'd love to see more assertive and strong female leads in games and less toxic characters. The toxic characters definitely ruin it for me.

[@7prudent]

@@SeeingStarsGaming exactly, that, too! Pop-culture (regardless of the medium) brainwashing the societies should really stop it with trying to idealize and normalize toxic aka abusive characters. Abuse should never be normalized.... that cannot be presented as personal choice at all, like, "if the boy/girl wants it, then it is fine" etc. It does affect people even with shaping their behaviours, it also prevents those who seek abusive people due to personal psychological problems from seeking help and working on their own selves about these choices of theirs. Even more, these people, since they run away from their own thoughts, spread really wrong informations such as "women like machos" etc or "women forgive abuse" etc, which does nothing but only spreads sexist lies and abuse even more, benefitting mostly males (but also females as well, as there are female abusers, too.., but males more in number unfortunately love these sexist lies more when it is about women, as it benefits their secret agendas, even politics.)

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

@astariol For some reason your comment got deleted while i was replying to it so hopefully this reply gets to you! Yeah you should definitely go for it! There really aren't that many channels covering romance games I think it would be a nice change of pace to have a channel that covers more romance centered games! Good luck on the endeavor! It'll be a little tricky at the beginning but if you continue to improve on each video im sure you'll find great success! 😊

[@redperson5723]

Does anyone know when or where Salty Hounds is going to be released???? It looks sooo good I just cant wait for it to release :(

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

It's release has been delayed to sometime this year, 2023, according to their Twitter. They unfortunately have not given an exact date. Hope that helps!

[@redperson5723]

@@SeeingStarsGaming ooh ok thank you!! I can’t wait to play all these games! I just played the demo for Peachleaf and i’m soo excited 😆

[@venti3125]

I can’t play it 😪

[@the_gucci_gurl]

Awesome recos - And like that you incorporated games that were a bit more diverse as well. Would like to see a video of current romantic favs too!

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Yay I'm glad you liked it! Great idea, I'll start compiling a list of my current romantic favs. 😊

It’s like almost the end of December and Peachleaf valley is not even out yet

[@saidrew1030]

I think they dropped it. There's been no updates

on the website it says that the game will be released in 2025!! :D

[@lilybebaplay]

Yes - gotta love the cute romance games that get you in the feels

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Yes! Me too!!! I either have to be crying by the end of a romantic game or screaming and kicking from the excitement. There's no in between haha 😆

[@booktales1687]

Every one of these games looks so cute! Great recs 🥰

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Yay! Glad that you enjoyed them 😊

[@ravnn_]

Yessss I love romance stuff so these sound so exciting!😊🤍🤍

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Same girl same haha!!! I think you'll really like salty hounds since you love korean web comics! 😆💖

[@ravnn_]

@@SeeingStarsGaming yesss the voice acting and art style is just 🥰 also love ghostie looks so cute too!

[@marzettik]

I hope more of the games you mentioned end up on switch. Many of these games look pretty neat.

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

I hope so too! These games seem like the perfect fit for the Switch 😊

[@tarryapplebottom2032]

Bro this was just what I was looking for, thank you so much

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Glad I could help!

[@undertakerevi6644]

Thank you so much so many good gems muahah my list grows longer and longer xD also I want to say Witchbrook is like Stardew Valley but in a Witch World and you can also here date and have a romance next to your journey as a witch it's coming this year :))

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Yes Witchbrook is great! 😊 Unfortunately I don't think it's coming out this year or at least Chucklefish hasn't officially announced the official release date yet. 😔

[@suenoYume]

Love, ghostie had so many funny puns 😂 i mean - fall out boy? Total fit as a band! 😂

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Yes I agree! The puns are the best! 😆

[@traceyxxrose7454]

Just looked up salty hounds and after reading the last developer update it seems like a total scam.

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Yeah I'm not too optimistic at this point. Looks like it's a management issue not just an issue with development. Korean backers on Tumblbug are absolutely furious too. Maybe even more furious than kickstarter backers.

[@traceyxxrose7454]

I feel SO bad for them. I was so hyped after watching your video because I was like “oh this was a year ago so it’s prob in a great early access state or full release by now”. So I went straight to steam and was like huh? This is so shady! I’m so disappointed and I only knew about the game for 15 minutes so I can’t imagine how disappointed and angry the backers and other fans are. On a lighter note, your video was great and I really appreciate it!

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

I agree, I feel really bad for everybody involved with the game including backers. I really had high hopes and I think a lot of people were hoping they'd pull through but the latest news really let a lot of people down if they weren't already let down.

[@4gss]

hii, i've a question, this game go to other countries 'cause I from latam and I think this games don't come here.

[@yumis_cells]

omg the sapphic ones!!!! love your videos btw theyre so cute

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Thank you! Also, I love your profile photo of Kiki and Gigi! 😊

[@alt666]

That last game reminds me of a 2d band / dating sim game I got forever ago. I need to see if it's still on itchio.

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Definitely share it once you find it! I'd love to check it out as well! 😊

[@alt666]

@@SeeingStarsGaming Its called RockRobin. Its not finished (beta and the dev is on a hiatus) but it was pretty fun the last time i played it. Its kind of like idol manager if idol manager gave you more customization. It also has mod support and its easy af to change just about anything. I'd send a link but you know how youtube is with links now because of the bots.

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

@@alt666 oh it looks so fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@kawaiiblossom3117]

You already know if there a bad ending I’m getting it 😂 I like to play realistically and choose options based on what’s makes sense or how I think the character feels. But I also have horrible judgement 😂 (I treat the character and me differently. I treat it as a romance story

[@MR-GAME-N-WATCH]

Dude she looks so cool , the one with the feet.

[@fazilnerway6815]

What’s the first game cuz I can’t find it in App Store?

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

It's called Salty Hounds. You probably won't find it in the app store since it hasn't been released yet. They've had a lot of delays and not much public news so that's all I know about it so far

Peachleaf Valley and the link is in the description

[@end.477]

I need your help to find a game. It was announced months ago, but I can't find it. I only remember that it had a sad story, it was one of literal displacements and one of the protagonists died. 😭

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Sorry I don't know that game. Good luck with finding it!

[@atulverma1617]

Where ru frm

[@ClaudiaMellody]

I love it! ❤

[@danielfernando8432]

Love esquire is another great game I would recommend. The game is more male focused though as it's a about a guy romancing 5 girls. The setting os incredible. Top tier english voice acting and the dialogue is so interesting and funny. It's has a lot of nudity and sex scenes towards the end but the storyline is a masterpiece. It's probably the best romance dating sim game with a good story I can recommend

[@SeeingStarsGaming]

Oh interesting! I've never heard of that one before. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@DipanganRoy-dd5re]

Is there a male-oriented game? Cuz I found all of them as female-oriented, which I surely didn't enjoy.

[@ghostlevelzero7446]

Some of them looked really cute, but I wish you weren't limited to only dating men in several of them.

[@arriaraara]

That's the whole point of otome though.

[@AchiZuuu]

nothing for guys huh....sad life
