Did you know that, other than otome, the sisters have VERY different tastes in video games? We’ve started a new series called “Otome Shimai: Sister Side” where one sister (tries to) explain their favorite games to the other!
In this episode we journey into the world of The Elder Scrolls as Vki introduces Skyrim to Via! Expect laughter, confusion, and maybe just a pinch of chaos. We’ll dive into the shallow end of the lore, mechanics, and Vki’s personal experiences (a deep dive would have taken 48-72 hours of recording, and we both have full time jobs). Can Vki convince Vka to give Skyrim a chance? Take a listen and find out!

Games discussed: Even if Tempest, 9 R.I.P., Skyrim

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! The sisters have been looking forward to Date Everything! for SO long, and it does not disappoint! Join us for a first look at this utterly unique sandbox dating sim that features all (YES we said ALL) your favorite voice actors. Expect us to dive into the punny names, chaotic interactions, and a how much we love the representation in this game.

SPOILERS INCOMING

In this episode, sisters Vki and Vka take a wild ride through the intricate world of Evermore Error Salvation, diving into the plot twists, character arcs, and the infamous bad science that permeates the game. Spoilers abound as they dissect the game's storylines, from the tragic fates of...everyone to the convoluted mechanics of...everything. Please don't expect this to make sense if you haven't played the game.

In this episode of Otome Shimai the sisters dive into a spoiler-free review of Virche Evermore: Error Salvation and test the limits of anguish, suffering, and zetsubou. Or does zetsubou actually have limits? This game makes it really unclear...

As always, the first episode of Reviews in 2s will give you a sneak peak to the world of the game and the characters who live in it. We also yeet at least one LI off a cliff. Enjoy!

Note: We're using new software for recording and are still figuring the technical stuff out. Apologies if anything funky pops up!

We took a break so it's time to play a game! Vki and Vka round out 2023 with another episode of Otome Superfight. Which means we spend an hour talking about nonsense hypotheticals. Who turns everything they touch into hummus? Who ends up controlling an army of tweens? And how badly will the sisters bend their logic in order to get their otome LIs to survive each battle?
Also included, us being really sad about multiple previously recorded episodes having to be scrapped because the audio was garbled. We may have cried a bit.

Oh hey, we did a collab with Blerdy Otome!
We're ranking LIs. It's fun. We all like Olympia Soiree. And each other. There are no spoilers.
This is a placeholder description because I feel like someone is squeezing my uterus. I promise I'll do better with the next one.
