Magical Otoge Ciel

In this free game, Princess MC begins a journey away from home, in an attempt to understand more of the world around them. To begin, the reviews on the store page cracked me up and I figured, if the reviews are already funny, just wait for the game. I don’t usually like games where the choices don’t matter. But, in this game, the dev made up for it with amazing art, clever humor and fantastic characters. Oh my goodness, did I mention the puns!!!

One of the 3 guys is, hands down, the most. Amazing. Visual. Novel. Character. Ever! I’m not even referring to romance, Yvin takes the cake on so many levels. I could not stop laughing at the shenanigans that ensued as MC, a runaway princess, travels the land with her 2 knights. Did I say 2? Isn’t there a third guy? Maybe a magic number 4? Did he just fall out of a tree? Whaat? Don’t get my joke? Go read it. It’s not a very complex story with extremely deep and developed characters, but it’s just this soft and fluffy cloud you never knew you needed until you read it. The endings were a bit shaky, and I feel Yvin should have had more, but I was glad I read it nonetheless.

The dev of this game definitely kept true to their motto: “I will at least get a pity laugh out of you.” I laughed, I loved - the game was so sweet, so fluffy and innocent I just wanted to hug it. Bonus: there are sequels on itch.io.
