Otome game
An is a story based video game that is targeted towards the female market. Generally one of the goals, besides the main plot goal, is to develop a romantic relationship between the female player character and one of several male, or occasionally female characters. This genre is most established in Japan, and is mostly made up of visual novels and simulation games (particularly dating sims). As of 2013, the most representative otome game title available in English is ''Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom'' for the PSP and 3DS.
==History==
The first otome game is generally acknowledged to be ''Angelique'', released in 1994 by Koei in Japan for the Super Famicom, and created by an all-female team. The game was originally targeted to pre-teen and younger teenage girls, but became unexpectedly popular with older teenagers and women in their 20s.〔 ''Angelique'' is credited with "set() up the specifics and conventions of women’s games: a focus on romance, easy controls and utilizing other multimedia."〔 In 2002, Konami released its very successful ''Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side'', which brought many new fans to the still-new genre. In 2006, Famitsu's listings for the Top 20 selling love games included seven otome games. Early games borrowed heavily from the iconography and story conventions of "retro shoujo manga", "the archetypical girly heroines, the emphasis on pure, sexless, tranquil romance and on a peaceful, stable setting", but as the category expanded, other narrative and gameplay elements were introduced, including action/adventure, combat and plots in which "the heroine can ‘save the world’ and ‘get the guy’ at the same time".〔
''McKenzie & Co'' (1995) from American Laser Games and ''Girl's Club'' (1992) from Philips Interactive were simulation games for girls developed and released in the US in the past. The first Japanese otome game to be officially translated and sold in English was the visual novel ''Yo-Jin-Bo'' in 2006 for the PC. Since then there have been a small handful of releases increasing each year, including ''Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom'' for the PSP and 3DS.
