How to Take Off Your Mask

I really liked the concept of the game a lot. It was fun to play, the music was awesome, and the artwork was so cute! The only problem I had with this game was the price and how long the game actually was. Without getting all of the achievements on the game, I played approximately four hours. However, the game was very interactive, and appealing! If you want a otome, yet story based game, then definitely get How To Take Off You Mask! :)

it's too short, IMO, and you can only choose one guy, which is kind of sad. The story isn't really complete, will they be making a second game, I wonder?

At first, I really enjoyed this game. I've played my fair share of VN's, and I thought the production values were good, the story was cute, and the stats mechanism easy enough to understand. Unfortunately, I discovered on the second playthrough that your choices do not matter. I wanted to see what ending I would get if I purposefully made bad choices, and I got the *exact same ending as if I had made the "love" choice.* In other words, my choices didn't matter at all. The only thing they affected was if I received some bonus content or chapters. This really effected the story for me. Why bother having a "love stat" or "love choice" if no matter what you do, the characters fall in love?

I want to start this off with This is the best Interactive visual novel i have played. lots of choices and very fun and lots of extra bits and peices. Yet im only done with half the story. i recommend this game fully with its adorable and sweet love story <3. but if I could make one change i would make writen save files.

[I] How to take off your mask [/i] is a sweet short visual novel but the way it's made from the technical point of view is too inconvenient. If you're interested in cute cat-girls and a light read, you should buy the remastered version. I'm sure the playthrough would be much more pleasant for me if I had the renewed game but the idea to spend money on it (and the price is so much higher) when I already have this one was kinda meh. Anyway, it's gonna be a neutral review. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2861528197 +a sweet story about a cat girl. That was rather relaxing to read. Don't expect anything deep. +MC was quite enjoyable in her human form as well. For example, to see that she was the first to confess her feelings was delightful. +fully voiced Japanese VN. That's the reason enough to choose a thumb up for this neutral review. xD +pretty art, beautiful CGs, lovely videos. +cards, achievements. Plus one 'perfect' game in steam collection \o/ 155th for me :)) +a steam guide, I actually had to use at one point. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2846302122 –saving is inconvenient. You can't see what's there in the save slot. –I set the sound volume at zero. But it didn't help T_T A grating, annoying sound was there all the time when I accidentally put cursor over settings. So to skip the read text I couldn't use the skip button because of that awful sound but ctrl skipped all the text. I was thinking about turning the sound off on my computer but I wanted to enjoy the chars' voices T_T –So, the skipping is disastrous. Chapters change for too long. Usually when you skip through the read text and some new sentences appear clicking on skip button works like usual clicking, just to continue reading. But not here :( You click, shudder from that terrible sound and that's it, the text stops, you have to click somewhere else, no way to see when the read text starts. Of course, it's not like I totally forgot the story I've read before but it's still a waste of time, I still manage to read some part of the text I've read. it's so inconvenient( --oh, and the screen size is either a full window or a tiny one :( --story-wise not all questions were answered. The ending and the dev's comments hinted about the continuation. But I don't see if there's any. Perhaps, I'm wrong though. The devs has quite a number of visual novels. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2851141958 Welp, perhaps for 2015 year this visual novel is not that bad but inconvenient settings still spoiled a lot of pleasure for me. Definitely, buy a remastered version if you want to indulge in a bit stupid but still very adorable interaction with a cat girl.

[u] ENG [/u] As typical of indy/doujin games, Lilia is a heroine with an actual personality and a fun attitude that allows her to bump off the personality of the guy, Ronan. The game has 2 different endings, of Lilia as either her human self or cat self but generally it’s the same. Unfortunately this ends up being a down side of the game because once you finish 1 route, the 2nd one becomes a bit boring since essentially the story is the same aside from a few slight difference and Lilia’s appearance. Despite this I still enjoyed the game, because both the 2 main characters and the sub characters had fun personalities and great dialogue that did make the first run of the game very enjoyable. Only other gripe I have is I wish the skip and auto-mode buttons were on the menu GUI so I wouldn’t constantly have to right click to open the menu. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the game, and especially the voice acting was probably one of my favorite parts. Both Ronan and Lilia’s voice actors did a great job and really helped bring out the characters’ personalities. If you’re looking for a short and cute game, I definitely recommend giving this one a shot as it’s better than some of the otome games I’ve reviewed recently. [u] PL [/u] Jak zwykle w grach indy/doujin, Lilia jest bohaterką o prawdziwej osobowości i zabawnym nastawieniu, które pozwala jej podbić osobowość faceta, Ronana. Gra ma 2 różne zakończenia, Lilii jako jej ludzkiej lub kociej postaci, ale generalnie jest tak samo. Niestety kończy się to wadą gry, ponieważ po ukończeniu 1 trasy druga staje się nieco nudna, ponieważ zasadniczo historia jest taka sama poza kilkoma drobnymi różnicami i wyglądem Lilii. Mimo to nadal podobała mi się gra, ponieważ zarówno 2 główne postacie, jak i postacie poboczne miały zabawne osobowości i świetne dialogi, które sprawiły, że pierwsze uruchomienie gry było bardzo przyjemne. Jedynym innym problemem, jaki mam, jest to, że chciałabym, aby przyciski pomijania i trybu automatycznego znajdowały się w menu GUI, więc nie musiałabym ciągle klikać prawym przyciskiem myszy, aby otworzyć menu. Poza tym naprawdę podobała mi się gra, a zwłaszcza aktorstwo głosowe było prawdopodobnie jedną z moich ulubionych części. Zarówno aktorzy głosowi Ronana, jak i Lilii wykonali świetną robotę i naprawdę pomogli wydobyć osobowości bohaterów. Jeśli szukasz krótkiej i uroczej gry, zdecydowanie polecam dać jej szansę, ponieważ jest lepsza niż niektóre gry otome, które ostatnio recenzowałam. [i] Chociaż uważam, że cena jest nieco wysoka w stosunku do zawartości, którą otrzymujesz (43,99 zł) myślę, że jest to rekompensowane faktem, że gra jest w pełni udźwiękowiona. Bardzo rzadko zdarza się, że gra indy jest w pełni udźwiękowiona, większość z nich w ogóle nie jest udźwiękowiona. Ale ten nawet podkłada głos bohaterce, która nawiasem mówiąc, wykonała niesamowitą robotę jako Lilia i Leea. Jest fajny film otwierający i piosenka OP, co znowu jest niezwykłe w tego typu grach. Myślę więc, że kończy się to potwierdzeniem ceny, ale chyba wolałabym, żeby te 2 trasy miały coś faktycznie innego niż prawie identyczne historie.

Finished human route, and I think it`s nice game to play if you like otome / VN`s with romance. Story is very adorable and cute, scenario focuses on the dilemmas and transformation which the protagonists undergo under the influence our decisions. You can say that game is simple because it has only two routes and one guy to romance, but it has a few nice twists and choices. I recommend this game and I look forward to the next from roseVeRte :) PS: I was a little disappointed that roseVeRte abandoned its previous graphic style - but I can imagine why.

Well, just got done playing the human side route. I must say, this game is very adorable! I highly recommend this game if you are a fan of visual novels. Pros: *Character sprites are VERY well done. The shading and proportions are excellent, and don't make me feel like I'm looking at a newgrounds flash game made by a 14 year old. *Very well written story. Dialogue is well done, the chraracters, while not very in depth, I feel are quite decently written. *Gameplay does not appear to have any bugs at all *This game does appear to have some replay value *This game is fully voiced, even the minor characters (all two of them). Voices are in Japanese. Cons: *This game is rather short (I am a huge speed reader, so actual gameplay was less than an hour for me. Then again, I can read a 600 page book in two hours). If you are a slower reader, I imagine this would take a bit longer. *The story, while well written, could use a bit of fleshing out. I guess I just like more details and meat to a story. *Price does feel a bit high to me. Then again, this is probably because of the voice acting. *Plotline seems to skip around a bit, but given this is a light-hearted story, it doesn't really detract from anything. All in all, if you love visual novels and reading, this is a good game. If you are a huge otome and VN fan like me, you won't mind the price. Otherwise, you may want to wait until this goes on sale.

The plot is VERY cliche, and even though the anthropomorphic cats are pretty creative, the way the characters fall in love is not, and I find that the MC can't tell that the boy loves her despite how obvious it is, to be annoying and just there because that's how it always is. I'm not sure this game is worth the $14.99. The originality in the demo was lost to the banality of the following chapters in the story. If you haven't been exposed to much romantic themed stories, you may think this story is original, which is fine, then this game is for you. But if you're looking for an otome game that breaks the mold, this isn't the game for you.

I really like roseVeRte’s games. And this one was one of the cutest visual novels I’ve played on steam! Art style, BG, BGM, and VA were just perfect. [spoiler]Luccretia’s route was really cute, haha![/spoiler] All the previous things which used to annoy me a bit on the other games from these developers are gone (more like technical stuff, I always liked their stories tho). This new story seems a bit cliche at first, but after playing both routes, I can definitely recommend this game. It’s cute, and I’m looking forward to see a How to Take Off Your Mask 2 soon. [spoiler]I also felt a deeper connection between the characters during Luccretia’s route.[/spoiler] 8/10. There’s no “super deep meaning” or “super sad” stuff here, just a simple cute visual novel. If you enjoy this sort of game, get it on sale (I found it a bit short, and this game is kinda expensive to be honest)! I wish good luck to the developers on the second game, I’m really curious about what’s coming next.

This was a good visual novel overall. It was very cute and had great voice acting and fluffy romance. To my relief, it was easy to play through all the story paths and endings. I enjoyed both main story branches but found that I preferred the Human Side (story branch in which Lilia is primarily in human form) over the Luccretia Side (story branch in which she's primarily in luccretia form). Although Lilia [spoiler]behaved more honestly while in luccretia form (and was just plain cuter), in the Human Side she was more honest with Ronan overall, and I really liked that. That honesty was reflected in how the ending played out too, and it just worked better for me overall.[/spoiler] Pros: + Excellent voice acting. All dialogue is voiced (characters' thoughts are not), and I liked everyone's voice but the villain's. Although I tended to read faster than the actors spoke, I found myself waiting for them to finish talking before moving on to the next line, because I liked their voices so much. + The story was a bit bland and predictable, but it was so cutely executed that I mostly didn't notice. I liked Ronan and, although she was occasionally frustrating, I liked Lilia too. It was fun watching them gradually realize their feelings for each other. + The story wasn't rapey! That said, it did have some other issues I've covered in my "cons" section. + I loved the sprites, and the CG artwork was usually pretty nice too. + Very easy to go through all the story options. Choices have two types of effects: raising your chance of getting the Human Side vs. the Luccretia Side, and raising your romance (I'm not sure how necessary this is - I never tested what effect choosing nothing but non-romance options would get you). You only ever have to choose between two possible options, and the effects of your choices are immediately made clear with a little image that appears. Also, the game makes it crystal clear which story paths you've already followed and allows players to start off at whichever chapter (that they've previously played) that they'd like. This would be a great first visual novel for newbies. Cons: - The story was pretty bland and predictable after a certain point. - Although Lilia is an adult (or maybe older teen?) in human form, she's physically only 13 or 14 in luccretia form. Which means that, especially in the Luccretia Side, Ronan finds himself growing increasingly attracted to a child. Granted, even he has problems with this and fights his feelings, but the Luccretia ending has him deciding that it's okay to love her no matter her form because Lilia's mental age in that form is older. I kind of agreed with him, but the justification still felt a bit icky. - The translation was occasionally a bit rough, with a few misused words and awkward phrases here and there. All in all I'm glad I've already purchased [i]How to Fool a Liar King[/i]. I'm looking forward to playing that one too.

Kawaii! A girl finds herself a kitty girl, nyanya! A boy becoming a city guard Otome with single girl and single guy And the growing pains they endure as they make choices on what they want to be to themselves and each other. Went through both routes and enjoyed them. I'm a slow reader and do each storyline at a different time to re-experience it, rather than do it once and skip skip skip to just catch the differences right away. Either way there are still enought differences to give you good story. Choices can lead to a human ending and a kitty ending where the last few chapters have a bit of a different storyline to get to similar ending that is a cliff hanger. They might have a sequel come out (certainly set up for it) as you get there feeling there's a lot of storyline around the two main characters that you only catch glimpses of. Might have been fun to see more of that, especially Juli's character whom is my favorite. The art is better than past games from them, IMO. I can't figure out if there's stock music or new music, some of it seems familair to past games, it's nondescript so can't tell. Good background music, though not something I'd want the soundtrack for. It was a nice fluffy distraction.

I have found this game very enjoyable to play and read. I would be glad to suggest to anyone whom enjoys visual novels to invest in a copy of the game. This visual novel is about a young lady name Lilia whom works in a bakery with her grandmother, and is visited by her childhood friend Ronan. One day, she discovers she has turned into a luccretia as a half-human and half-cat creature, she panics and her adventure into the world where being different causes hardships and sometimes even hatred, and the trials she faces as she tries to cope with the change she has experienced. Follow in her footsteps in the game as she faces these trials and also seeks friendship and love from her childhood friend and interacts with her other companions. There are 2 main paths in the game, Human path where your choices are to regain your identity is towards your humanity, or to follow your instincts as a Luccretia and seek to belong as the entity you are a part human and feline person. If you complete both choices in a single session addition bonus content opens. I personally rate it 5 stars. I love revisiting my favorite stories time and again and this game has earned its place among that list. An extremely well thought out and fun visual novel. Please keep up the good work Bakufu Narayama/Chu-3 :) I have also added a general guide to the achievements and other content available for this game. Feel free to look it up in the guides section for this game.

I really enjoyed it. The music is great, and they know how to make me laugh everytime I go through it. Like someone else mentioned it is pretty linear but I enjoy the story anyways. I think even people who never watched an anime or touched manga would enjoy this. If you like to watch anime/games that has comedy and romance this is a game you should play. ^^

How to Take of Your Mask while relatively short is really adorable with a wide array of characters. It was a joy to play and left me smiling most of the way through it was just so darn cute. + Beautiful CGs + Quite a bit of extra content + Unlock short scenes of Ronan's POV + Two fairly different endings I really enjoyed playing through and getting the two different endings which were quite different at the point it branches off. I'm not going to deny that I wish that it was longer especially since I think that it could have been taken further but overall I was very satisfied and content at both endings - and overall with the game.

First I want to hide my luccretia side from Ronan, but as the story continue I'd like to notify Ronan that is me Lilia. That make me get Luccretia path. Because of me Ronan suffers, I can't let Ronan suffers anymore. This game art was nice and BGM match with the situation. What I like more is the story. Conclusion I like this VN. I will recommend this VN.

So cute and adorable, really easy to read and follow. Filled with adorable sweetness and comedy. If you're into romantic visual novels, and very cute looking girls, then this is great. Very much worth the money, and would recommend to any first-time visual novel readers who love their animu waifus!

This is a very cute game although one con to me is the OG price. If you can get this game on a good sale I recommend doing so. It has a pretty engaging plot arc. Two sides to one person, so there are a couple routes to play. Honestly, it seemed pretty cheesy to me before i started playing it, then I decided when I got about 1 and 1/2 chapters in that it is worth playing to see Ronan in a constant state of bugging out. It's adorable! I turned the sounds effects off. It has lots of anime shouting and the sound effect for those moments is a low "Charles Ives" piano pounding- which get for me super irritating after three times in a matter of minutes. Other than that the BGM was quaint, nothing to write home about but not distracting. The Art work is satisfactory and CG are cute. 7/10

Watched Dodger play this ages ago and bought it to show support, like I do with all visual novel lets plays I enjoy. Anyways, I finally got around to playing it myself and While this is a short novel (took me just over 3 hours to complete both paths) it is one of the most charming novels I have played. Get it on a sale however, $15USD ($20AUD) is a bit steep for 3 hours.

The best word to describe this game as 'adorable'. There are a lot of cliché moments but as a whole it is well executed and, at times, very funny. Music is nice and the art is very good. The game is easy (binary decisions with an indicator to show you what your choice did) but fun.

Though I enjoyed "How to Take Off Your Mask" and the story, there are several things that prevent me from recommending it. Here goes: 1. Not much in the way of choices. In most cases you get to pick one of two options twice per chapter. After playing through it three times as differently as I could, I found the choices didn't really affect the overall story that much. In short, it's more of an interactive story than a true visual novel. 2. It's pretty short. I went through it three times in 3.8 hours, read all the dialog, and got all the achievements. 3. There's mention of an overarching story and a larger world, but you don't really get to get involved in it. 4. Only one romanceable character. 5. $14.99 USD is simply too much for a game this barebones. Based on how long it took me to go through it, I'd price it at around $4.99 USD, and even that is being a little generous since I try to get at least 1 hour of play for ever $1 spent on a game.

So far I finished at least half of the main game and just need to get to the other half. Not sure how to get the side stories, but I'm not to concern on it. Wish that there would have be more than two paths in the game, but still a pretty good story. Personally, I'm still curious on how the girl's parents are doing, even though you learn what they were doing. Come to think of it, I'm curious about that strange cat with two different eye colors in the beginning, it only appeared once and there is zero explantion on who she is. Maybe someday there could be a sequel to this game and learn more about the world and to expand of some of the plot points...

i love the look of the game. characters are nice and it's really chill but still have action

I really enjoyed this game. It has nice artworks, a decent story, great voice acting and some nice music pieces (I love the intro!). Overall it's a very cutesy vn with an interesting story that might be partly chliché but it's still very enjoyable. Though you know what'll possibly happen - especially between the two protagonists - it was still a very interesting story for me and I liked the whole Luccretia idea. I guess, it was pretty obvious how most choices will influence the game but that didn't make it less enjoyable to me. PROS: - beautiful artwork - great voice acting - a good amount of cute scenes with the male love interest - nice bg music (+ I'm in love with the intro :) CONS: - some typos (I got the german version) I personally got a little irritated by the "scary" bg music (when something bad was about to happen) because it was the same like in "Mad Father" (a horror RPGMaker game) if I'm correct xD I have to admit I bought it on sale but I still think the price is okay.

I don't usually play very many VNs, but this seemed interesting, so I gave it a try when finding it during the Anime Sale Weekend~ Just finished it and quite enjoyed my time. Will even go back to try out all the other routes~ Probably not a thing for everyone, but was rigth up my alley. I do like anime. I also do like cuteness so I quite appreciated that the game gave me a few choices there hehe~ The art was nice, if anything my criticism would be that I would have wanted more animation in the characters and such (such as using some kinda E-mote system, like in Nekopara). But nonetheless it's nicely done, I enjoyed the story, and the voice acting was nice too~

The main bad thing in How to take off your mask is that the game goes off the rails in terms of plot in prison segment. To much boring dialogues and self repeating. This game has a poor background drawing. In the second prison walls are dizzying, they feels like collapsing on each other and it's in 2D game. Many of world building elements is feels off.

To be honest I hated the Luccretia side of the story. I loved the characters and the music but the Luccretia side felt to pedophilic and boring. The Human side was much more interseting to me and cute. I did enjoy this game though. Edit: Played through both sides again and the Human side of the story is definitely much better lol

This game is adorable nya and one of the better otome games I have played. I say this as someone who plays at least 2-3 commercial Japanese otome games per month. It's amazing how good indy stuff can be, so don't hesitate to give this a play even if it may not have your token popular artist or popular seiyuu in it. （＾ω＾）

I will agree that the character designs and music was interesting,but the story wasn't really that great.It wasn't worth the $15 spent :/

Now that I have finished the game and 100% the achievements, I am writing this review. The whole novel is 3 core chapters with 3 more chapters for each of 2 different story trees, the human side and the cat girl side. There is also bonus stories for each chapter, and a secret bonus story that can be unlocked by completing both stories in one sitting (might need to use the replay with skip feature). I love this story. The characters are adorable. The mystery of the town is intriguing. Obviously, I finished both story sides in under 8 hours, but it was well worth it. I would have spent a lot more if I bought mangas that gave me 8 hours of reading content, so I feel the price point is fair. If it's on sale and you like visual novels, I would definitely get this one. I looking forward to purchasing any sequels in this series :D

It's was all good until the end of the game on the Luccretia side. It ends on a cliff hanger that is really just disappointing. The game is far too short and it'd be better if you could choose to fall for Big Bro or Juli too. If the game had a better end I'd feel it'd worth the money, however for the short time it is not worth $15.

So first off, I love romantic visual novels, especially when I can play as a woman. As a lady too few visual novels let you play as a lady. So I've recommended this game to ladies who want to play as ladies with a cute romance, even if it's not THAT great. Choices matter, so that's awesome. Slightly less awesome is that there's only one love interest. Characterization is great. The English translation is not so great, and at times is difficult to understand what the characters are trying to convey. In short, if you're a sucker for cute romantic VNs, buy this. BUT NOT AT FULL PRICE. Respect yourself and buy it on sale, because length-wise and content-wise it is not worth $15.

I really liked this game. The "secret identity" plot is one of my favorites in stories, so I had fun!

This game is adorable and I absolutely loved it! The characters are lovley and they really do grow on you. Only one route, (two different paths) but its well worth the price especially if you get it on sale. I do wish it was longer, and maybe that it had another potential love interest just for the sake of variety but overall I am do not regret buying this at all, infact, I reccommend it. Even with it being relatively short, it still is one of the most enjoyable Otome's I have played. :D

Hehehehehe.... HAHAHAHAHA. Catears. I dun need to say no more for why I liked this... Unless you are someone that read this and isn't bored and looked at what your friends had done and maybe written for reviews... Then you notice how all I write is gibberish and can easily be ignored because I just follow the promise of catears and tails and stuff. Often do I end up liking it whereever I find it. And I found it here. Simple. 10/10 I found catears. 10/10 cute n catears. 10/B*llocks she is interested in... Meh well... Atleast I got catears.

This is basically a furry verion of the TV show Gem, with less kickass music. Also, jesus christ, how loud are the dings on the menu screen? RIP ears.

It is a cute story with a lot of touchy and a little dramatic scenes. I think the most surprising part was the revealing of Juli (I mean, who expected that?). Well, I keep playing that game over and over and just can't get over the thing that Ronan has an eight pack... I mean... WHERE IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE DID HE GET A FRIGGING EIGHT PACK? (Well, yes, he was training with Mars but still... HOW hard must the training have been?!) Story: 4,5/5 Music: 5/5 CGs: 5/5 Voices: 4.5/5 Just grab that game and "kiss kiss fall in love" (wait... wrong scene xD)

Its a very touching story. Cute but increadibly short. I have to say. 6/10 Art was nice story was nice though kinda cheesy Many questions are left unanswered. Story was TOO SHOT Should i recomend this? Sure.. i guess but, i don't think its worth the cost.

a cute enjoyable story. I look forwards to seeing more of the world.... and not just because of the country of catgirls

FOR LOWER PRICE (e.g. Sale) WORTH A BUY, BUT NOT AT FULL PRICE (English only second language) A friend bought me the game but after playing all routes and getting all achievements in only 4 hours I couldn't recommend this game at full price. The storyline: + interesting concept, acceptable flow of events - too many (major) plotholes at the end The store description is quite spot on. Protagonist Lilia suddenly transforms into some catlike human and tries to hide that fact from her best friend / kinda little brother while trying to find out why he never told her, that he works as a guard. Throw in some racism against catpeople and hidden romantic feelings and that's the overall plot. While it sounds interesting at first, I couldn't manage to oversee a certain lack in depth in the story. There are topics that should play a large role that get pushed to the background by the romantic problems of the mains, leaving the reader with some unsolved plotholes. At the end I still have a lot of questions unanswered and that shouldn't be. The characters: + good-looking designs, also nice concepts - too cliché, most lack a lot character depth The characters all look nice but they just lack in a lot of things. For example, the main: Being transformed into a catgirl changes her character, which is a good explanation for the different ways she can react. It's also interesting to see, how her behaviour changes depending on which side you lean to. But either way she is pretty much a walking stereotype. You either get your typical "I can do it myself (no you can't)" heroine or the shy "I need a hug" girl. No matter which you chose, she still is too accepting of things. Revelations that should blow her mind (because facts told to her for years suddenly turn out to be lies) were just accepted like "Oh, okay, that's that now, i guess". The other characters aren't really better. Most of them had a lot of potential which wasn't used and sometimes I just wondered why they were doing what they did instead of something that - after knowing everything about them - should have been a lot more logical. Voices, Sounds etc: + japanese voice actors were really good, music & sounds were nice - not a lot of different music tracks which made the music go repetitive very fast I liked the voices. You really could hear the emotions and, especially in voiced VNs, nothing is better than actors not sounding like dead beaten fishes. The music was nice, too, but it had just 9 or so tracks which was very repetitive after a short while but I guess it's acceptable. All in all it isn't a bad game. I was entertained for a little while but it just wasn't long enough. A lot of VNs on Steam for the same price (or just a bit more) get you 20+ hours of playtime for all routes, which keep you interested in the story. This game however does not. You only have one guy and only two different routes. That plus the acceptable but not outstanding plot just isn't worth the full price.

This was an awfully written game. I hated all the characters they where all stupid and boring. This has some serious pedophilia and sexual harrasment gestured. I didnt enjoy it one bit i hope others think like me because this was indeed a short and bad game.

This is also kind of a reccomendation for another series of otome games that I am possitive anyone who likes this series will also enjoy. Skip next paragraph for my actual review. This is the first of a three part series designed like the free to play Holiday Otome series by Synokoria (avaliable for download on itch.io) with each game having a separate protagonist, as well as each squeal being a continuation of the world story told throughout. This means that in the later games, the relationship from the previous game, while no longer being the focus, are still present in the story, and you can see how their relationship pogresses on the side along with each new protagonist. However not only that, but the overall narration of both series, meaning the humor, drama, angst and fluff are all similar. All of that aside, this is a very good game. Not only the graphics, but the story as well. The series only has one love interest per game, but otherwise has all the other goodies of other well-known otome games. I genuinly have nothing bad to say about this game or the series as a whole. As for if you should get the origional or remastered version, other reviews have already laid out all you need to know for you to make the decision that is right for you. Happy simping everyone!

The R18 otome games I've played usually come with deep stories. But for those who enjoy a light-hearted generic anime with an ok story this might just be for you.

[b]How to Take Off Your Mask[/b] is cute Otome VN. It is the first and definitely the weakest of the stories of Eroolia. Overal, I liked this game, but in comparison to other similar Otome games, it is very short for a full price. You can finish both routes (+ common route and all bonus chapters) in less than 9-10 hours [b]Pros:[/b] + Beautiful art, sweet CGs. + VA, including MC. + Likable characters. + Funny moments. + Bonus chapters from Ronan's perspective. [b]Cons:[/b] - Short for a full price. - Not so developed story (in comparison to other stories of Eroolia). - "Heart" choices have very little impact (only one short confession scene in each route).

Really loved this story, interesting world and beautiful art. Lucretia route was my fav,

I played Cafe 0 first them move to this one which is more fluffy rather than the dark one. I don't mind them, their foundation are good in my opinion because they could produce two good kind of story. The story is cute and quite heart warming. (Personally I don't like the human route. It's just my PERSONAL view). It has a comedic part and all and I think it's a good story line. And how it doest only gives the MC p.o.v is kinda good too. We kind of can see the story as a whole maybe. As a story, I like them I havent play the next one, so i dont know whether they have improve on they script for voice acting. Honestly it is awkward when they are not mantioning anything when they say the main character's voice. They could replace in with "anoko" or "kimi" with suited person and situation while in the text still the name of main character written, just the voice acting script a bit different. I understand because the MC have original name. But honestly i think it improved alot from the first time i played drowned mermaid and i apriciate the efforts, I just wanted suggest :) Other than that, it's has a very good otome game. They also give a good indication of which route will be going. I realy like how they made this. The drawings are very cute. The BG are well made for different kind of scene. CG was kind of repeated, but honestly, I don't really mind. I love cute scene CGs though. The BGM was not bad, I could say its good but I havent pay much attention. But that also means there wasn't akward music time and all. It might all well timed. It goes by episode, so you dont have to actually go saved place and all, unless you stops in the mids of the episode. This also means we can skip the prolouge without actually saving them, which makes it convenient. Or if you wanna go back to the specific episode or something. One thing I haven't found is keyboard key for auto. I only found, toggle screen, enter and skip botton. I usually like to make auto, so having to always go to menu to do auto is kinda troublesome. One man to date and two type of ending. The theme song is actually stuck in my head right now. Maybe I find them more meaningful after playing the game. Overall it's and good otome game to play :)

This game is short and sweet. The story and character development are paced well and the characters are very likeable. The art style is very cute and the voice acting is great. There's also a difference when you make different choices even if the overall scenario is the same which makes it much more fun. Although it's a pretty simple and short game, I really enjoyed the experience while playing it. My only concern is that there are no instructions on how to play. Although it's easy to figure out and understand, for people who are not familiar with this type of game it would be hard for them to get used to it.

Super cute game, both protagonists were super adorable. All the characters were quite charismatic (Juli was a fave). Short, but sweet, perfect for when you just want to read some fluff.

Cute but very young. There is plot, though, and a cute relationship, so I expect that plenty of people would be happy to play it.

Who needs real boys when you can be a catgirl with Ronan. P E T M E
