Crazy Ones, a newly released otome game with a male protagonist, is now available. This unique title blends turn-based battles with a narrative-driven dating experience. Players engage with four distinct female characters, each possessing a unique personality, as they navigate the complexities of romance and high-stakes business.
The game's premise, inspired by Steve Jobs' famous quote, "Here's to the Crazy Ones," places the player in the role of a male character thrust into the fast-paced world of corporate intrigue. He'll encounter four compelling women: Hakuo, the dependable HR manager; Hyouka Natsume, the tsundere president of rival Natsume Technology Group; Chika Ono, an aspiring musician; and Tomoko, the protagonist's protégé. Gameplay incorporates turn-based battles using cards representing the protagonist's memories.
While Crazy Ones emphasizes emotional connections over simple fanservice, and its title hints at potential narrative surprises, the game's marketing, particularly its focus on simultaneous romances, raises some questions. Despite these reservations, Crazy Ones appears to be a promising visual novel-style game for genre enthusiasts.
