Otome Games Celebration Festival on Steam (and YT showcase) May 4-11, 2026

Hello r/ IndieOtome. I'm not sure if this is allowed, but if it's against your sub rules, I apologize, and mods, feel free to remove the post (I'm not affiliated with this event, but just want to share with the community).

I just found out about the Otome Games Celebration Festival on Steam, but sadly there's only a few days left until it's finished (May 11).

Link to the Steam Festival: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/crystalgameworks/sale/otomegamescelebration2026 (you can still visit after the fest is finished to find otome games)

Here's the link to their youtube showcase (it's about 30 min long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRVCCt5u5sc

Happy shopping, everyone!🌻

Legends of Savvarah: Children of the Sun | Sale happening right now!

STEAM LINK
This is my game with a well-thought-out lore, a unique setting, and great freedom of choice (though some endings are quite hard to trigger—that’s intentional).

I hope you enjoy the game.

The main heroine, Nuelli, has seen frightening shadows since childhood. She must uncover their meaning.

Рисую для своего проекта Сверх Естественная Общага про сверхъестественных существ в городском сеттинге.

Всем добрый, делаем проект с тёплым вайбом, секретиками и юмором.

После окончания школы Кирсу отправляют жить к родному дяде, хозяину общежития.

Прибыв, девушка узнаёт, что её любимый постаревший и пристрастившийся к пиву дядя страдает от потерь памяти и сдаёт комнаты не людям, а самым разным сверхъествественным существам, которые пытаются ужиться друг с другом под одной крышей и слиться с человеческим обществом.

Мир, который Кирса начинает познавать, оказывается куда сложнее, чем она думала. И теперь ей предстоит узнать, какие же секреты хранит её дядя и их необычные соседи.

Уже готово демо на 2+ часов, сейчас занимаемся разработкой 1-гой главы.
Особенности:

  • Игра включает 21 день, которые будут разделены на 4 большие главы. По мере развития основного сюжета, игроки будут проходить арки персонажей (в количестве 6-ти штук), которые все переплетутся между собой в конце.
  • Не смотря на сюжетную направленность, в игре есть романтическая составляющая в выборе 4-х партнёров.
  • Мини-игры для погружения в атмосферу.
  • Полностью отрисованная человеком графика.
  • Полностью созданная человеком музыка специально для проекта (для демо 13 треков, для 1-ой главы уже больше 18)

Добавить в желаемое и поиграть в демо можно тут: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3765450/Super_Natural_Dorm/

Буду рада фидбеку~

You are Nikaria — an agent of a mysterious god, sent to a foreign country. Does the end justify the means? Is a god’s will above the law? Does the death of an unbeliever not matter? It’s up to you to decide.

Features:
◉ A short but highly replayable text adventure
◉ Non-linear story: 8 endings and many different paths to reach them
◉ Striking visual style and an original soundtrack
◉ A richly developed original fantasy world that extends beyond this game
◉ A female protagonist — an assassin with a very flexible moral compass

THE COMMUNITY NOTES ARE WRONG has been updated with Chapter 1 of Levi's route and Cheri's route!

The update includes...

  • 2-3 hrs of route progression
  • Choices that could lead to early exit bad endings
  • 4 new CGs and menu art
  • Social media gameplay (bad ends are in, so be careful!)

It is one of the goals of my otome and yuri visual novel, The Community Notes Are Wrong, to show how biphobia impacts the female protagonist in a way that's not just misogyny and homophobia.

[Farewell, we see each other for the last time.....] is Now on Steam!

Two people stood on the bridge. They smiled and looked into each other's eyes. Suddenly, the boy whispered.

"I know everything."

The girl shuddered with terror. A third participant in the drama entered the scene - a knife. The corpse fell and disappeared into the raging river.

But that's for the last day. As of right now.......

Features:

* 6 unique endings.

* >19 CG

* Walkthrough: 40-50 minutes

UwU Weekly Spotlight: Cyber Obsession [May 10, 2026]

Since the Otome Games Celebration is almost over....anything that really caught your eye? 👀👀

As for eye-catching game jams, let's talk Cyber Obsession from Izumi Games!

https://preview.redd.it/83rzl3mds80h1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=369bd6e66018582bb0ea12eb74727ef723c634a5

If you’re like me and forget every single thing you’ve ever done when someone asks you direct questions, here’s some prompts to get you started:

  • Who is your favorite character? Was it them all along or did it change while you played?
  • What aspect (story detail, UI, game element) stood out to you the most?
  • Any memorable lines or scenes?

Man, I have a lot of thinky thoughts about this game that deserve a proper review, but what a story! Of course it's prescient with out current climate of generative AI seeping into everything we do, with a dark glimpse of what the eventual outcome might be. I do appreciate that there is a hopeful ending note and bright spots throughout the route.

Elijah is such a pathetic wet dog of an LI, I love him 😂 And I have to shout out all of the different visual effects used throughout the game, they really added to the atmosphere and sense of oppression and dread.

Next week we're letting the anxiety consume us with MindMindMind from Chattercap. See you then!
