"Crazy Ones," a newly released otome game with a male-centric focus, is making waves by blending turn-based battles with narrative-driven dating gameplay. The game centers around the player's interactions with four distinct female characters, each boasting unique personalities that enrich the storyline.
The term "one-of-a-kind" might be overused, but it's hard to deny that "Crazy Ones" stands out as the first male-centric, turn-based otome game of its kind. Inspired by Steve Jobs' famous quote, "Here's to the Crazy Ones," the game invites players into the thrilling realm of high-stakes business. Amidst the corporate drama, the protagonist navigates romance with four intriguing women: Hakuo, the dependable HR manager; Hyouka Natsume, the tsundere president of the rival Natsume Technology Group; Chika Ono, an aspiring musician; and Tomoko, the protagonist's protégé. The gameplay is further enhanced by turn-based battles using cards drawn from the protagonist's memories.
**Driving me crazy**
While "Crazy Ones" emphasizes emotional connections over mere fanservice, the potential for a surprising narrative twist lingers due to its provocative title. The game deserves recognition as a solid entry in the visual novel genre, appealing to its dedicated fanbase. However, the concept of juggling multiple romances as a selling point raises some eyebrows for me. If you're curious about what "Crazy Ones" has to offer, it's available now on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
