17 Ikemen Series
Our Favorites:
- Ikemen Sengoku
- Ikemen Vampire
- Ikemen Revolution
First up, we have the Ikemen series. This is a large series, with games that all start with 'Ikemen'. Each of these games has a unique theme; for example, Ikemen Sengoku takes place in the times of Japanese warlords, where you come across real historical figures such as Nobunaga Oda.
Our second recommendation is Ikemen Vampire. Instead of transporting to feudal Japan, you will be surrounded by historical European figures with a plot twist; they are all vampires. The final recommendation we have is Ikemen Revolution. This mobile otome game is set in 19th-century London, and has an Alice in Wonderland theme.
16 Obey Me! Anime Otome Sim Game
Next, we have Obey Me! Anime Otome Sim Game. Although the title may sound like a jumble of words, this game has risen in popularity; we even have several guides that you can check out.
Like Ikemen Sengoku, you are an ordinary human, transported into a new world called Devildom. This game is perfect if you have an interest in the supernatural. Obey Me! combines the classic otome elements with gacha, allowing you to collect cards and win music battles.
15 Mystic Messenger
Mystic Messenger was first released in 2016, allowing you to chat on the phone with your love interests. This unique game is realistic, with real-time phone calls and texts.

In addition to the unique gameplay, the story and route of each of the character is amazing; each character is filled with depth, making you think that you are talking with an actual person. It’s no wonder Mystic Messenger has risen to popularity with a near-perfect rating on the App Store and a total of 50,100 reviews.
14 Amnesia: Memories
As the name suggests, Amnesia: Memories puts you in the place of the main character who has lost her memories. Throughout the course of the game, you will need to regain your memories and find out exactly what is going on.
In addition to playing Amnesia: Memories on your phone, you can also play it on your computer and Nintendo Switch. If you are looking for more Amnesia content, there is also an anime with the same title that aired in 2013.
13 Samurai Love Ballad: Party
Samurai Love Ballad: Party takes place in the Sengoku period. Many of the characters are the same as Ikemen Sengoku due to the time period, but their character and personalities are tackled in different ways.
It’s easy to mention the Sengoku period and leave the world-building at that, but Samurai Love Ballad: Party spends time building up the world while teaching you Japanese history at the same time. This game is also packed with side characters, building a world beyond just you and your love interests.
12 Tears Of Themis
Tears of Themis is published by miHoYo, who also brought us Genshin Impact. This game combines the otome visual novel with gacha and detective work. You, along with the four main characters of this game work together and solve cases happening in Stellis. Some otome games put you in the position of a clueless girl, but in Tears of Themis, you take on the role of 'Rosa', a highly educated lawyer.

If you are a fan of games like 999 and Danganronpa, then you will definitely like the detective elements in Tears of Themis. Each chapter involves a case that you need to solve. There are several mechanics, including searching the crime scene, questioning suspects, and finding links between clues.
11 Court Of Darkness
Next, we have Court of Darkness. This otome game takes place in a magical realm, where you attend an academy along with five princes. The story in Court of Darkness may be a bit simple, but the characters are incredibly well-written, making this magical world feel realistic.
Rather than playing a submissive girl surrounded by dominant men, you get to become a sassy girl who speaks her mind. If you are looking for an intriguing storyline that focuses on relationships, then Court of Darkness is definitely the game for you.
10 The Arcana: A Mystic Romance
The Arcana is a magical otome game, giving you the freedom to be whoever you want. Many other games on our list involve an entirely heterosexual cast, with you playing as a female-presenting character. As an LGBTQ+ friendly game, you can choose your own pronouns and romance anyone you desire.
This game is based on the 21 Major Arcana tarot cards, which is evident in the artwork for this game. There is an air of mysticism, making the perfect setting for finding love.
9 Love Unholyc
Love Unholyc is a fantastical otome game, where you play an ‘Unholyc’ – being born from a human and a devil. In this game, you will need to interact with the love interests that you accidentally formed contracts with.
Like Mystic Messenger, this otome game involves real-time texts and phone calls. If you played Mystic Messenger and liked it, we recommend trying out Love Unholyc. It’s important to note that Unholyc is a bit more suggestive.
8 Dangerous Fellows
Dangerous Fellows is the ultimate zombie apocalypse otome game. These two genres may not sound like they fit together, but Dangerous Fellows blends them flawlessly, giving you the chance to survive an apocalypse with the man of your dreams.
Like many other otome mobile games, there are in-app purchases for rubies that give you access to more romantic content, but this material can also be grinded for if you don't feel like spending any money.
