Otome game

Over Requiemz (styled in all caps) is a Japanese otome game developed by Kogado Studio and published by Idea Factory's Otomate brand.

Plot

After a tornado, high school student Yuhiru ends up transported the Kingdom of Oz, which is ruled by four witches and one king. Because of her black eyes and hair (which are taboos in Oz), she is sentenced to death. However, her sentence is delayed on the condition she goes on a journey with four men on death row and their mysterious supervisor.

The game can diverge into two routes: the Fact Route (also known as the Truth Path), where Yuhiru helps her selected love interest heal from their trauma, and the Dark Route (also known as the Obsession Path), involving much darker, psychological, and yandere themes.[1]

Jenni Lada found the game to be different from the typical otome games, calling it "freeform."[24] She wrote amount of freedom the player is given to play the main character in any way that they like, and to get to know the love interests better.[24] She noted there are "few choices are the ones that matter," that the important choices are highlighted, which can allow the player to save as they wish. Lada stated that the routes of the game were only focused on the chosen love interest, with little insight into others, advising to save Dorothy's route for last, calling it "quite fascinating and well-written."[24] She further noted that there were times were romance didn't feel like a priority, and was instead replaced with more dark and traumatic elements. However, she also warned about the dark routes of the game (specifically Molly's), listing that "violence, possessiveness, and general red flag, toxic behavior" is prevalent in the game.[24]
