Fangirl! Mode

Calloo callay fellow otome gamer~! <3 It’s no bother atall to answer questions (I quite adore them in fact, and tend to go overboard in genuflection whenever I can since I get a bit handful) and I love to help convert people to my fandoms so think nothing of it. Incredibly flattered, by the by, that you even went through my blog in search of further explanation. (●´∀｀●) Also, hi hi hi been aware of ya since Hatoful Boyfriend hit the interwebs. In such a fandom you take notice of those that step out and go that further bit when it comes to flailing. ☆⌒(＞。≪) That is to say, I’m a fan of your work.

But to get back on topic, StaPro is the general fan abbreviation of Star Project Online wherein you promote your love interest in the show business since you’re the manager of this struggling company. Basic premise is that he’s searching for work and you have to pay off this huge debt. You have talent in spotting potential and promise in a person however, and through a quirk of events manage to snag the soon to be star in a contract. As to thoughts about the game in general…I have already given a bit of insight as to this game in another ask (｀・ω・´) (Anon, sadly and searching for free otome game recs) but since that was bundled in a huge textwall (and actually still debating whether or not to insert title screens in that one) I didn’t feel it would be quite right to go on a fangirl evisceration of feelings vent. Which I will partially indulge in now, because I just remembered that someone kindly asked me this question before only the last five times I tried to answer my compy crashed and generally did it’s best to bar my way. *deep breath* Sorry. So yeah. Here we go, finally~! 

As english otome games go, Star Project holds a very complex part of my otome maidenly heart. On the one hand I find it rather unintentionally funny and dark perhaps because of the interpretation I choose to view it through. But then, I do play with an evil mindset. ψ(｀∇´)ψ And the game actually does have a couple of choices that do allow you that option but of course, the more favorable nets you the more things and I am a merchant’s daughter foremostly…but I was rambling. Right, I like that StaPro has so many characters, all with their own unique quirks. I have the biggest crush on Milika and would totally be pursuing any number of the others. That bakery chef, mmm mmm~ The minigames take some getting used to but the learning curve isn’t too steep for the majority of them. They do get progressively harder the higher your level though and everyone probably has some hatred locked away for the dance one. The expansive world is a major plus because you feel like it actually is a good size and holds your interest as well as the storyline with aplomb.

And yet, despite all that I honestly can’t connect with Touya. He isn’t within my “target type” and I have more fun teasing him then actually taking the guy seriously. Probably doesn’t help that I am reminded of Shotaru Fuwa from Skip Beat! either at that. So I don’t get that doki doki desu feeling of blushing and since that’s part of what makes me a fangirl I can’t find myself too enamored of the game. Of course, the good thing is, there are more characters/stars coming along and the recently announced Ren seems more my cuppah. But some further worries is that- Oh shoot, went over again. So um, let’s leave it at that and wrap up! ~(>_<。)＼

I rather encourage you to play Star Project! It’s a wonderfully cute game and the protagonist you play has a strength one seldom sees in these games. Of course, it does fall into some shoujo cliches but doesn’t take itself too seriously overall and there’s a certain sense of accomplishment you get from viewing CGs and Events. Please at least try it and see if you will like it. As for whether or not there’s a referral system, I don’t think that’s something they have. If you want to be friends though, you can always add me on there. My username’s Hatoful. ^___^
