New on Android: our own otome games
These four are ours, so weigh them accordingly. They are newer and much smaller than the games above, and we list them separately rather than ranking them. All four are free and play the same way: 10 shared episodes, then a 4-episode route with the man you choose.
Villainess at Midnight
You wake up as the villainess of an otome game you know by heart, one year before the prince breaks your engagement and you are executed at midnight. Five love interests, 15 endings, and none of them end with your execution.
Twelve Moons in Seoul
A one-year contract marriage with the cold heir of a Seoul chaebol, with one rule: don't fall in love. Five love interests and 15 endings, all decided on Divorce Day.
Gilded Cage Waltz
A dark mafia romance: you are held as collateral for your father's debt by four obsessive men. All four routes are out; the finale episode is still to come.
Villa Vows
The only woman on a reality dating show in an Italian villa, with five men and one key to give away each week. Sixteen endings, including a secret one.
How we picked
- Installable on Android today. Every game is live on Google Play in the US. Games that are no longer on Google Play, such as Mr Love: Queen's Choice, are left out.
- Story-first romance. The romance has to be the point of the game, not a side feature.
- Player response. We weighed Google Play ratings and installs, and say so when a game's rating is low or it has stopped updating.
- Variety. One or two picks per style, so the list covers chat games, visual novels, gacha and anthologies.
