New Bishojo Mobile Game: Crazy Ones, Now Available

Crazy Ones, a newly released otome game with a male protagonist, is now available. This unique title blends turn-based battles with narrative-driven dating gameplay, offering a fresh take on the genre. Four distinct female characters, each with their own personality, vie for the player's affection.

The term "one-of-a-kind" is subjective, but Crazy Ones' billing as the first male-centric, turn-based otome game certainly piqued my interest. Inspired by Steve Jobs' famous quote, "Here's to the Crazy Ones," the game casts you as a male character navigating the high-stakes world of big business and romance.

Your potential romantic interests include Hakuo, the dependable HR manager; Hyouka Natsume, the tsundere president of rival Natsume Technology Group; Chika Ono, an aspiring musician; and Tomoko, the protagonist's protégé. Gameplay incorporates turn-based battles using cards representing the protagonist's memories.

While Crazy Ones emphasizes emotional connections over simple fanservice, and its title hints at potential narrative surprises, I remain somewhat hesitant about the game's selling point of simultaneous romances. However, it appears to be a solid visual novel-style game for genre enthusiasts.

Despite my reservations, Crazy Ones is available now on the iOS App Store and Google Play. Intrigued? Give it a try!
