this was such a fun way to talk about a game hahaha. i love the art, and the premise actually sounds really interesting; it would be an awesome otome game, if both the MC and the love interests could learn about emotions (and love) together. sadly it seems this game didn't dare go deeper into its own lore/premise..

@@madysengarcia5153 no? not sure how you ended up getting that from my comment lol. i meant it like, it would be really nice to experience MC and the guys learn about their emotions together, since they all have problems with expressing/feeling them. so no insta-love, but still ending in romance. love is always seen as a given in otome games, so i found the premise of them not being able to feel love (in the beginning) interesting. the game could have shown them gradually growing into their emotions and learning how to express them! how cool would that have been??

Not wrong 🤣

So, I PREORDERED this game in APRIL 2022...And am now absolutelly TERRIFIED. 😵 Like HELL I will never let it be called 'nowadays Hakuoki', like due to periot people started to call it. And as long, as You went about 'emotions', me being 'emotionless tool' myself(seripusly, I was once explained by guy friend what it MEANS to LIKE someone... In my practical language... I got 3 day migrain from this), I was like 'maybe it will be RELIABLE to ME... 🤔 But then You said words "If You don' t care for plot, that makes sense" - I *LIVE* for plot that makes sense. 😳😭 Because if(aside from FDs) people deny HAKUOKI 'much romance', plot is PINEAPPLE OF LOGICAL. And now... I hope this game will come after NORN9, so I sooth my heart before... And before NORN9 FD, so I'll sooth my heart AFTER. 🤷🏻‍♀️ GLADLY, P3P keep me busy with free moments, even if today it is old game. Ps. So, again. WHY IFI, or AKSYS doesn't translate CLOCK ZERO, instead? THIS is lack of logic. Ps. This game sounds as fun, now, as was IFI 'Valentine joke'. 💩 Frustrating and waste of time. But, as said, I am emotionless tool myself. Maybe I will find anything to like... If plot magically will start making sense. 😶

Maybe it is about that 'emotionless' part, that especially older gen in Japan related to? 🤔 As for Hakuoki... No. For sure, listening to You, NO. As in this game, as - again - it was ancessor of english otome... It was 'lacking much of it(through Edo Blossom brought certainly much more of it in 20...17, if I remember and FD gave us even children scenario) in basic version, but characters, comedy, vibe, their homey/comrade Shinsengumi family with accurate historical events were and always will be something, that I'll go back to. Meanwhile I just saw in recommended after Your vid, on KZread, one girl talking about 2023 relieses... And it comes out KimiWaYuki(now it sounds like pun for me, as Kimi is 'You' wa is 'be' form and Yuki is SNOW...So 'You are Snow' in prism of Your review sounds just FUNNY for me.😜) It comes out, KimiWaYuki comes in May 2023, which I didn't know. Meaning, perfectly in time... And part of me hope, Even if Tempest fandisc will, with bit of luck, come out till THEN. 🤷🏻‍♀️
