a twist of otome

Hi there everyone~
First of all, I want to say that this is not an otome game. This is not even a visual novel. =)

I had been looking for new visual novels to download when I came across the Global Game Jam website. Basically, it's a website that compiles different games from a huge game jam event from all over the world. The next game jam will be on January 14-16th, 2016, by the way. :)

But anyway, I saw a couple of visual novels there, and also, I came across this little gem, called "Ich". It looked really cute, and you guys know I can't resist cuteness.

Je, 私, Ako, Ich, I.

Official Description: "A "thing" wanna find out what it is, and will look for evidence of its nature inside a mazz,[sic] full of traps and enemies."

Hi guys! Remember me?

Hahaha, okay, so um. I'm really, really, really sorry for suddenly disappearing like that, but I'd just like to say that I'm alive and well. Hahaha. So... just an update... my first year as a university student is already over! Thank goodness! <3 I'm currently taking midyear classes (huhuhu) though, so I still don't have as much free time as I had back in high school, but thankfully, I'm a lot less stressed now than during the regular semester. </3 I'm actually supposed to be on vacation from school (Vacation? What is that? Is it edible?) but I'm taking a few classes in advance in order to make next sem a little more bearable for me. Honestly, I really felt so drained during the first two semesters! So many things I wanted to do, but there were also so many things that I had to do first.

Anyway, this is one of those things that I had wanted to do but couldn't do... so I'm doing it now. Hahaha. A visual novel review!


Tomato Soup for the Heart is a 2015 NaNoRenO release by Synokoria, the same creators of the game A Halloween Otome. It's pretty short, as apparently, it was mainly meant to try out some game mechanics for a longer game-- which I am looking forward to, by the way. Hahaha.

Evie (default name) is in danger of failing all her subjects in the magic school she is currently attending. Her teacher gives her an ultimatum: a month to study with the rumored Demon, Tomatosoup, or a failing grade for all her exams. Of course, she has no choice. But would an excellent Demon like him actually tolerate a failing student like her?
