One of the most exciting upcoming otome games is Celestia: Chain of Fate, a romantic fantasy adventure where you take on the role of a Duke’s daughter who discovers she’s a hybrid descendant of Angelus and Daemons.

2: Meiji Tokyo Renka Full Moon

Another one of our favorite Otome Games is Meiji Tokyo Renka: Full Moon is an enchanting historical romance that, as the title might suggest, transports players back to the Meiji era, where you meet and fall in love with famous figures from Japanese history. You play as Mei Ayatsuki, a high school girl who finds herself in a mysterious version of Tokyo filled with supernatural beings called Mononoke. Guided by the enigmatic illusionist Charlie, you encounter iconic historical characters like Ougai Mori and Kyoka Izumi, all while navigating the challenges of time travel and love that transcends centuries. If you’re a fan of historical fiction, keep an eye out for this one. You can find Meiji Tokyo Renka: Full Moon’s Steam page here.

3: Velvet Bite: Softly, with Teeth

Velvet Bite: Softly, with Teeth invites you to a Halloween party filled with music, food, and… vampires! I don’t know about you, but I’d classify that as a pleasant surprise. In this intriguing mix of urban fantasy and a Halloween aesthetic, you’ll encounter six romanceable vampire characters, each with their own unique charm and backstory. This is not even mentioning the beautiful art and vibrant renders. Velvet Bite: Softly, with Teeth is set to be a thrilling experience when it releases in Q4 2024. Be sure to check out the Steam page here.

4: Genso Manège

Genso Manège promises to transport players to a beautiful dreamlike reimagining of France. You play as Emma, a witch who lost her powers and memories in childhood. Drawn by a memento left by her father, she finds herself swept into a magical traveling amusement park, La Foire du Rêve. However, beneath its enchanting facade lies a dark secret — the park’s employees are trapped, bound to its grounds by mysterious forces. Only Emma’s forgotten magic can free them, but she must first unlock her powers by navigating her repressed memories and forming deep bonds with the park’s intriguing characters. The stunning artwork gives Genso Manège a distinct visual identity which I really love. If you’re interested in adding this title to your wishlist, then go visit its Steam page here.

5: Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam

Beyond the Steam continues the story of Steam Prison, two years after the “Grand Ending.” The game follows our heroine as she embarks on a new mission to the mysterious land of Cainabel, where she encounters two new kings and faces the complex dynamics between the Heights and the Depths. With new character routes, romantic engagements, and an additional story titled A New Theory, this release promises to be an excellent continuation of the original. Fans can also look forward to adorable mini-games featuring chibi characters and plenty of bonuses. Whether you’re a returning fan or new to the series, Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam is one to keep an eye on, especially if you’re into steampunk. So what are you waiting for?
