The main character has plastic surgery on the quest to become beautiful and finds herself invited to the world of love. Crazy, insane love \u2013 with five beautiful, entrancing men to choose from, who will she go with? No matter who she chooses, she knows\u2026she\u2019ll stalk them until they fall in love! Even though\u2026they all have someone else already. I. \u201cIf you\u2019re tired of typical otome games, then this one\u2019s for you!\u201d Dogenzaka Lab (the developer and publisher) is correct. This isn\u2019t a \u2018typical\u2019 otome game, not by far. Essentially Dogenzaka took every stereotype of their games, everything that people hate, and people love, chewed them up and spit them out to make Secrets of Me. The ugly and the beautiful make this game. One of the beautiful aspects of the game is the charm. While it isn\u2019t a traditional girl meets prince and falls in love story, it does have a strong element of romance. And otome games that are labelled \u2018otome\u2019 should have romance \u2013 lots and lots of it. While the relationship pace varies depending on the character route you play, there\u2019s romance in all of them, along with the promise of a happy ever ending, no matter what happens. Beyond the romance, there are many funny moments & \u2018secrets\u2019 to discover. For example, a minor spoiler, is one character turns out to be a chubby chaser \u2013 a fetish dealt with tastefully and amusingly. The dialogue is translated well enough for jokes to be understood, and every scene has a sense of the ridiculous. This isn\u2019t a game you\u2019ll cry over, rather you\u2019ll be laughing the whole time you play. II. The romances, no matter how deep, make an impression. It doesn\u2019t feel as though your character is \/making\/ the boys love her \u2013 it\u2019s a mutual, strange relationship that forms and works for them. I liked how all the characters have their own personalities and back story, along with varying dialogue. In other games, such as Men of Ohgiya, one gets the sense that Dogenzaka gives characters different names, while keeping the same cookie cutter aspects of them \u2013 not with this game. One character can\u2019t be confused for another.I also liked that the romances themselves varied. As previously noted, some routes have faster romances (such as Meguru or Ryu) while others take longer to develop (like Mizuki). Some make light of the main character\u2019s \u2018stalking\u2019, others evolve depending on how well and persistent she stalks her target\/future lover. Unfortunately they do feature another woman, something I wasn\u2019t crazy about. Cheating is never something I like in games, though in Secrets of Me the main character isn\u2019t necessarily \u2018breaking up\u2019 any of the relationships. There are intimate developments featured in each route, some steamier than others. Nearly all of them recycle backgrounds (something all Dogenzaka games do) yet each provide different CG and \u2018details\u2019. The endings of each route also vary, based upon whether you get best ending or good ending, though all are happy and romantic. How romantic\u2026 that depends on the guy your character ends up with! Sometimes you just want to play a game that is heavy on romance, light on other things \u2013 this game gives you plenty of romance, and laughter too. It\u2019d fall into the category of slice of life, though the main character has a crazier love life than I\u2019d like to have! - : ) III. Besides making light of otome stereotypes, this shows the best of Dogenzaka. The art is on point, showing more of the female character than in other games (though not as much as Men of Ohgiya) and keeps the male hand proportions under control, a relevant problem in other otome games, including theirs. The story line, as wacky as it is, is strong, the music doesn\u2019t stutter as much as in others, and it\u2019s a pleasing, relaxing game. Overall, I feel the price is worth it.I didn\u2019t buy this on sale and I don\u2019t regret it. I\u2019ve had plenty of play time, around two hours for each of the (5) routes that each have 13 chapters, and have had immense fun with all! There\u2019s replay ability to with the dates and sequels, though they\u2019re shorter than the main ones. Secrets of Me shows that love isn\u2019t always like Romeo & Juliet. Sometimes it\u2019s between friends who become lovers, former enemies, the guy next door, or in the game\u2019s case, shows love can spring between a stalker and a guy who just might be their prince. \u2764PS: this game also includes trading cards and has pretty (!!!) badges. Each badge features a different male from the game, along with each having their own background and emoticon. You can display your favorite character as much as you\u2019d like. Also posted on: http:\/\/www.pingaling.co\/my-reviews.html. Art: 9\/10Music: 4\/10Storylines: 6\/10Characters: 6\/10Overall: 6'25\/10An easy cliche otome VN with a slight twist. Buy it on sale to complete your Dogenzaka Lab collection or directly in the bundle itself.The MC is a girl full of insecurities regarding her appearance, so obsessed with it that she goes through plastic surgery right at the start of the VN just to be pretty for her boyfriend. After discovering that he's a scammer, though, the MC sets her sights on another man out of the 5 that she meets right after her surgery, deciding to take the dubious advice from one of them and stalk them in order to gain information and seduce them. Also, all of those men already have a girlfriend or fiance, so it's the MC's job to ensure they break up to fill the gap.That's basically the premise of it, however the "stalking" itself takes a backseat in 3 out of the 5 routes and, though it is still part of the story it's easy to forget about it. Heck, in one of the routes she's actually hired to do the stalking by the guy himself, I personally don't consider it stalking when the other party knows about it and encourages it. Also, despite the game apparently wanting to play that card as if it makes the game twisted or something... In the end it's actually just a way to make it far more credible how the MC keeps meeting with the romantic interest of each route and being at the right place at the right time, something that always happens in those games except in all those it's blamed on it just being a "coincidence".The other element the game tries to pride itself on doing differently and thus "being a twist" is the fact that the MC is "the other" and causes break ups to happen in order to stay with the guy in question. Unfortunately, this isn't such an original twist as the game thinks, the only "original" thing is that it's a cliche that's shared in all of the routes. Many other otome VNs usually have at least one guy with a girlfriend or a fianc\u00e9, often forced on them due business deals or something like that. And this game actually plays on that card as well, none of the guys really seem happy with their respective current girlfriends\/fianc\u00e9s and it ends being as if the MC is saving them from a life without love by tempting them.The translation job could use serious improvement, but it's not as worse as many others on similar simple otomes. There are several glaring typos that seem to suggest there wasn't even a simple proof-reading before putting them in the game rather than just hit the spell-checker tool, but their presence varies. They seem to run rampant on two of the routes while the other three show a welcomed lack of them (there still are some of them but they are so rare that it's easy to forgive).The VN is full of cliches and troupes common in the genre, though the use of those elements depends on the route, which is what makes the quality of the storylines fluctuate. In my opinion one of the routes was simply terrible, with barely any direction and sense of flow in the story, events just kept happening and being thrown around and the progression of the relationship felt plastic and mechanic. Two of them, however, were much better, presenting actually interesting characters and conflicts and a depth I didn't expect in this kind of game. The MC herself varies slightly in personality and intelligence between routes, being quite sharp and quick in one and a complete idiot in another.The worst part, by far, is the music. Just mute it and put some playlist or something else if you want to listen to something while going through the game. There are about 3 tracks, maybe more but the game abuses the heck out of 3 in particular and they aren't even very good, just a few notes set in a constant loop. That coupled with the annoying chiming sound whenever advancing the text is basically a guaranteed headache. This kind of soundtrack is acceptable for a mobile game (in fact this game is a port from a mobile game), but not on PC.The art is good, but only regarding the characters' designs and the CGs. The backgrounds are blurry and highly limited in number, and the game doesn't even try to make it seem as if it's a different place just looking similarly. Your whole life in this VN is going to center on the MC's room, a street and a cafe, with a few more places added depending on the route you choose but that's about it. It's not great, but it's sufficient as the focus of the game is in the storytelling, unfortunately, as I mentioned before, that by itself isn't that great.Not a purchase I regret in the slightest (though two routes, one more than the other, made me experience physical pain to get through) but definitively one I'm not going to return to any time soon.. This is one of the better VNs by Dogenzaka. After running through 2 terrible ones, this one was a breath of fresh air.Basic plot: The player character is self conscious and decides to get plastic surgery after her boyfriend proposes to her. Soon after, the player learns that her boyfriend was actually a con artist trying to launder money from her. He breaks up with her once he finds out that she spent all of the money he was going to launder on plastic surgery. The player then gets involved with one of the five romanceable guys, who all turn out to have a fiancee\/girlfriend. The player starts to stalk them out of interest. The relationships are either one sided or had a fatal flaw within them. Eventually, the guy breaks off the relationship\/engagement because he fell in love with the player.The VN still has the problems that all other Dogenzaka VNs have. The 5 storylines are much better written than some of their other VNs published by Dogenzaka. They're 13 chapters + 2 endings rather than 8 chapters + 2 endings. There was actually character development compared to some of the other ones. I would actually recommend this one, even though there are some obvious flaws in it. The awkward translations are less noticeable in this one. The premise is weird, but it wasn't weird to the point where it's cringey.If you plan on buying this game, get it in the bundle or wait until a sale.. A very unique otome \/ visual novel. I played it just because it was so amusing and different than any other game I'd come across (don't generally get to play a stalker). It was full of laughs at least for me, and was quite enjoyable as a whole.. I went into this game expecting to not like it and I was pretty pleasently surprised. The subject matter of this game is definitely not for everyone as it has to do with stalking and cheating and body issues. The characters were surprisingly well thought-out and likeable, some more than others. There were a few translation\/grammar issues but it wasn't enough to take away any enjoyment of the game. This is definitely a more funny and somewhat light-hearted otome game, I found myself snorting at some of the situations the MC got herself in.. I've only done Akira's storyline so far, but it was amazing. By far one of the best virtual novels I've played in a long time. I was a little hesitant to buy it, because the description sounded weird, but I'm so glad I chanced it. The story had a lot of twists and turns. I couldn't predict what was going to happen next and I really had to think out every choice I made. I got the "Best" ending for Akira, so I'll probably go back and play it again to see what the "Good" ending is as well. I'm going to try to play all the storylines. Art: 10\/10Characters: 10\/10Storylines: 11\/10. This game is cute, in a strange kind of way. Personally, the thought of stalking for love creeps me out, which makes some of the MC inner dialogue awkward and unapealing. I also think the biggest con in this game is the MC is just a dunce and a bit of an airhead. She sweet and has some really great points about her, but i do find myself being annoyed a lot at having to immerse myself into really crappy personal moments. Overall, she is so weak, practically maddeningly so. That being said, I found that the redeeming feature that makes up for it are the boys personal struggles and trials. For most of the story lines, the men's personal trouble eased the crazy that my character was and made the playthroughs relatively interesting and sometimes meaningful.Other parts:Artwork- average, nothing to really write home aboutmusic- average, I suppose, there's this one note that really irks me (but that's the musician in me) so i just turn the sound of and play my own stuff in the background if i really need the white noiseLength of game play- pretty good- 8 hours thus far and still haven't finished 2 stories and the extra sequelsOverall, i recommend it. Even moreso if you can get it on sale :). Like the previous reviewer, I was initially turned off by the weird game description. But I wasn't going to kick it until I tried it. ProsCharacter designReminiscent of a Korean romantic comedyConsInconsistent music loop Blurry backgroundsLack of depthCliche plot elementsSome of the pros and cons I listed could be taken either way. But here, I'll discuss my personal opinion of the game. (I know it says I've only docked about 11 hours, but I really did get all the acheivements already.)The story starts out with you, the protagonist, newly transformed after undergoing plastic surgery to impress your fiance (slightly weird thing to do, considering he's already agreed to marry you, but it's good. lol). Later on, using your stalking skills and the help of a handsome stranger, you find out that he's actually a con man who tricks women into marriage. After returning home, you get a call from your fiance asking to borrow money, but you had spent it all on the surgery, so he breaks up with you. And thus, your otome dating sim begins.Right off the bat, I assumed this game would be your typical, cringy, dating sim. And I'm actually really into that (I've played so many Dogenzaka lab games lol), so I went into it with a very open mind. I really liked the art style in this game, specifically the CGs and character sprites. One thing that bothered me a bit was the way the protagonist was drawn (no eyes), but that is a minor detail. The backgrounds were disappointing and looked like blurry pictures, which has worked for other games, but these specific photos looked bad (maybe I'm just being picky?). The music also seemed familiar, maybe recycled from another game, though it was pleasant enough. I got the impression that the creators didn't invest as much time into this game compared to some of their other titles.Above, I mentioned that the story reminded me of a Korean romantic comedy (which I'm not that into, so I listed it as a pro for others rather than myself). I found the protagonist a bit silly, with her clumsiness and stalkish behavior, made me chuckle a few times. She wasn't too passive overall, so the choices weren't ridiculously frustrating, which was a plus. A surprisingly common element in this game was that the characters were engaged to someone else from the beginning. Personally, I'm not interested in pursuing this type of character, so I didn't like that aspect either. And though the characters had great designs and personalities, I didn't feel an emotional attachment to any them or their stories. The suitors seemed cliche (e.g. rich doctor, model, CEO who sweeps you off your feet). Halfway into most of the routes, I lost interest. I can honestly say the story got pretty freakin' weird at times, but it still wasn't enough to keep me captivated. What I liked the most about this game was the obvious message and overall theme that beauty isn't only skin deep. Sadly, the protagonist had already gone under the knife before realizing any of that. And in a way, her beauty makes me question the integrity of some of these characters. It's likely that most of them wouldn't have even interacted with her, had she not undergone plastic surgery to be such a stand out beauty. Even though I liked it, this has been my least favorite of the Dogenzaka lab games I've played. Now, if you are a fan of kdramas, romantic comedies, strange storylines, or you just need something to pass the time, then you might enjoy this more than I did. Overall, I give it a 5\/10. Not that great of a game, but I've certainly played worse. I'm not really recommending it, but I'm not saying you shouldn't give it a chance.. I really wanted to like this game. The prologue was funny and zany, but after that? It went downhill fast. The character I chose to romance, Akira, was pushy, cruel, and cheating on his ACTUAL GIRLFRIEND. From what I understand, all of the options are currently dating someone else while the MC tries to seduce them away. Akira's girlfriend, Yuka, is a cute plus-size girl in lolita fashion. In her case, she is extremely selfish, and when Akira has to go to the hospital because of a 102 degree fever, Yuka bursts in and yells at him for missing their date the night before. So the only chubby girl we see in-game is a screechy shrew who Akira only likes because he's a chubby chaser. Akira is trying to date MC at the same time as a "beard", or cover, so no one finds out his actual girlfriend is fat. Akira is also very aggressive and repeatedly ignores MC's attempts to say no to him, and at one point I was actually concerned he was going to [i\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\/i] MC in an elevator. He had his hand up her skirt and was continually ignoring her refusal. After six chapters of this, I was done. Despite my best attempts, I could not like Akira at all. The goofiness of the concept was quickly overshadowed by the complete lack of consideration for MC from all of the potential romance options. I couldn't finish even my first playthrough.
