Also for the love of god don't pirate this game, the developers(poni-pachet) even asked you not to do
so in plain english and well if you did pirate it then that's on you but don't blame
companies for not localizing more otome games then.

- Likeable characters.
- Art.
- Charming music.
- Unique seiyuu cast.
Con's
- Can be confusing to see which route you're currently on.
- Most routes don't get anywhere plot wise.
- Most routes don't get anywhere plot wise.
- Pacing.
- NTR.
If you have any triggers for rape you might want to skip the brothel route, its
self contained and it only shows how disgusting Dorian Gray.
I really like this otomege but it has some issues that I just have to point out!

For one at times scenes abruptly end and there is a sudden time skip...
A prime example is a scene where Axel got hurt and Fuka runs off to Robin hood, however
the scene just ends there abruptly and you basically have to imagine its gonna be ok. Another
the scene just ends there abruptly and you basically have to imagine its gonna be ok. Another
instance was when Axel and Fuka have to visit Ande's home but we never get to see them there
because the game just skips ahead to sunday were you can spend time with someone of your choice.
See what I am getting at here?
but as turns out you get bits of information about it in different routes, though I wish they would
just not half ass it because it still feels like I am missing something I guess its incentive
to go and play other routes but at the same time those parts are from of the common route...

So yeah this otomege's pacing is way off at times but overall its still good.
Still I can certainly see that at times there are holes and inconsistency in the story at times
Also our dear heroine Fuka has amnesia, too bad that in most of the routes
she never figures anything out about it. Anyway considering the real plot of this game
its okay if Fuka never regains her memories as she can still be happy with someone else
for better or for worse, oh well sadly most of the routes are not very memoral to me as some feel
unfinished and random like Scarlet or in Soh's case get a crappy ending which left me very unsatisfied.
Fuka as a heroine though, she's an airhead who leaps ahead without thinking, she's weak
but she's not exactly strong either, while she's cute I can't say I liked her that much.
I only have one other thing I can complain about and that is the screen with a jingle
when you get to the next chapter, its okay at first but starts to get really annoying especially
once you get to the character route and the chapter/scenes get shorter, I wish we could turn it off.
The triangle route thing may be off putting but this can easily be fixed by using a guide and

The triangle route thing may be off putting but this can easily be fixed by using a guide and
staying with your preferred guy, I gotta be honest but I am not a fan of NTR.
Sadly there is no escape from NTR, you'd still need to do it to get some CG's in OZ's routes, if you
did their two regular endings so you'll just have to deal with it if it, I don't like it either but it can't be helped.
/Rant
Like the whole NTR shit starts because Fuka's relationship with one of the Oz guys she is originally
going for faces some issues, so then one of the other two Oz guys sees their chance and confesses
that they've been in love with Fuka this whole time and well you know what makes it worse?
If Fuka accepts and gets Ntr'd away from her original choice she also casually
spreads her legs and spends the night with him... I am just like WTF?!
After two NTR paths I honestly had enough of that shit and started skipping them because its just so
unfair, Fuka why? you've been spending so much time with guy A and just cuz your relationship is
facing some issues you decide to screw guy B just because he also had feelings for you!
Mein gott... WHY?!

The seiyuu cast is amazing, its not the popular bunch so if you're sick of
hearing the same old guys don't worry because Ozmafia gives you a unique voice cast!
I really appreciate it when developers use lesser known seiyuu's every once in a while, I really do.

Sadly the PC version is only partially voiced, the PS Vita version is fully voiced with
some added scenarios(IIRC after stories) but sadly this version is only in japanese as of now.
I also think there are too many routes so no wonder that atleast three routes
get the short end of the stick, welp i'm sorry if I made this version of the game look bad.
Honestly all the characters are likeable in some way! For first impressions:

Caramia is just so kind, Kyrie is a troll, Scarlet, Axel and Soh are really cute!
Caesar's really mysterious, Robin and Pashet seem nice...
This game is very focused on the romance and its characters, the plot is still there but sadly
there are routes like for example's Soh's that don't get anywhere except give you a hint or two but
in the end it didn't explain anything, so whether you do his route first or last shouldn't matter.
Basically the grand finale contains the real plot of this game which is either good or bad.
6.5/10
Anyway if you love otome games go support by buying this game! its not that bad
but not that great either, might as well support it so we can possible get games or others.
Recommended play order:
I recommend to start with Caramia, also do Brothel as soon as possible, I can't guarantee you'll like it.
Hamelin's route spoils some things about Robin and after you do Robin you might be
more interested in Hamelin so that is why I recommend the following play order:
Caramia > Scarlet > Brothel > Robin > Hamelin > Pashet > Axel > Kyrie > Caesar > Soh > Grand Finale.
More ramblings and screencaps after the jump.
