I am generally always partial to games made by Otomate IF. In my experience, while they don’t always achieve perfection, you can be sure to get beautiful art, decent, if not amazing storylines, and some really great guys. Amnesia is no exception. I do however recommend that it not be anyone’s first otome, because it is somewhat more confusing than the average game, and the guys all come off a bit psycho in the beginning.

While the premise of a character starting out with amnesia is not unique, the reasoning behind the amnesia certainly is, and trying to find out what is going on will come to some interesting conclusions. When MC wakes up, she knows nothing about her life and the people within it. I enjoyed trying to figure out whom I could trust, because as it turns out, that does vary from storyline to storyline - as does the supposed reason for her amnesia. To top it off, I most certainly now want my very own Orion. He grew on me so much!
