Noun[edit]

otome game (plural otome games)

  1. A story-based video game in which the player attempts to establish a romantic relationship between the female player character and one of several male characters.
    • 2017, Amy M. Green, Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, Storytelling in Video Games: The Art of the Digital Narrative:
      The otome games are marketed heavily toward female gamers, something generally uncommon with video game marketing. As of this writing, several game developers have invested in localizing otome games originally released only in Japan into English.
