As with many other otome games, Amnesia allows the heroine to decide which character will be her primary love interest. Unfortunately, your character also seems to be missing many of her memories and is desperate to get them back. The fairy Orion, who can only be seen by the heroine, decides to help her find out just what exactly happened. Each interactive character is divided up into symbolic suits from card decks that will help the player decide which route they would like to go on; Heart, Diamond, Spade, Clover, and Joker. Each route has its own uniqueness that you'll be sure to enjoy!
Okay, this entry is most definitely a meme. However, despite its odd nature, Hatoful Boyfriend is surprisingly a great dating simulation game! With all the elements required to create a great visual novel, the story revolves around you, the last human in the world, and your option of different birds to date. If that sounded slightly creepy, you've caught on to some of the subtle hints this game gives off; different scenes will show you an apocalyptic world and strange life that you've been living as a human in between classes. At the very least, this game will still give you attractive human male versions of each bird after you've met them, so it's still worth it for the laughs!
