About I'm a love interest in my childhood friend's reverse harem!!!

A not-so-generic otome game with BL possibilities.
Instead of playing the heroine and choosing between several men that have typical dating-sim personalities, you play as the childhood friend. That's right! The route that's usually the easiest to complete is no longer available. You (Geum Park) are thrust into the world of a reverse harem, where your precious childhood friend (Emily Carter) is being hit on by two of your classmates (Ao Yazawa and Hong Yang Chan). You can choose to either play the role of a love interest and try to win the heroine's heart, or... you can play your own game and try to make the two boys fall for you instead! The choice is yours!
Please note, this game takes place in Australia. There are instances of Aussie slang and references to Australian culture. In some routes the characters also speak in different languages to each other.

- a spin on your average otome game
- 40k+ word count in total
- female and male love interests (3 in total)
- original music and sfx
- animated chibis
- mini-games that can unlock different scenes
- choices that unlock different scenes and endings
- over 10 different endings to discover

- much more!!

I used to be a huge otome fan, but after a while got tired of some typical cliches and moved on to BL/GL, which I'm far more satisfied with. I backed this game on KS and already completed it. Brought it here so I can support the dev(although I consider a refund rn).Well, turns out this wasn't the game for me. The other negative review has an issue with pricing, but for me it's not a concern. Rather, I have problems with advertising, writing, pacing and the "true" route of the game.[olist][*]Let's start with the fact this game is neither otome nor BL. This game is about friendship and struggles of teenage relationships. More ramblings about the issue:[list][*]The whole point of otome game is having a female protagonist. Here, you can only play as a guy, no kind of POV from Emily(the female "MC"). It's such a missed opportunity to not have her become an actual MC in her own route. Heck, she isn't exactly thrilled to enter a romantic relationship(understandable in the context of the game, but for a potential buyer it's very misleading).[*]The "BL possibilities" part of the description is more accurate than otome part, but not quite. This game features little to no romance, Geum(MC of …62 found this helpful
A fun game filled with charm and humour An Australian experience of slang, pop culture and a core of multiculturalism in its cast of Ao, Geum, Hong Yang and Emily. The writing style is fun and upbeat and makes the characters feel like people you want to spend more time with and get to know further. Multiple endings with each character, the options can lead to unexpected endings. Mini games that influence interaction (and make you question your knowledge). I've now bought this game twice now that it's available on steam and i cant wait to replay it. This game was extremely fun to play, an enjoyable twist on a well known genre and the price is a steal. I cant wait to see what comes next in the game universe!10 found this helpful
This is a pretty cute VN! I was kind of ambivalent about it at first, since during my first playthrough (trying to romance the foul-mouthed tsundere Ao) I was given no option to return his feelings when he confessed to the MC, Geum, which made the mention of 'BL possibilities' in the Steam description seem misleading... But, when I did another playthrough and tried to pick all of the positive Ao options, I was rewarded with several scenes that differed quite a lot from the platonic playthrough, plus a cute romantic confession (which was reciprocated!) and a couple of sweet CGs. I was too quick to judge this VN because of my own inability to win over the boys, and for that I apologise... Each playthrough of this VN is pretty short, and will probably last about 30-60 mins based on reading speed (with each subsequent playthrough taking less time because of some repeat text between routes). The VN might be a little on the short side for the price tag, but there's quite a lot of artwork to make up for it. There's plenty of CGs, the characters have multiple outfits, some side characters who only appear for a few brief moments get full sprites (I like Miss Garden's design a lot in part…4 found this helpful
I really liked the game! It has a unique idea. You can romance the boys or the MC itself! There is also a polyamory route! It has 11 endings and I had to replay a lot to get all of them. Overall, I enjoyed it. It was really cute.3 found this helpful
Jogo curtinho e com um conceito interessante.Poderia ter mais conteúdo,mas dá pra passar um tempo.2 found this helpful
I have only finished one route, but it was really fun. The ending of the romance route I just finished might have made me go all, "Aww". I am really excited to play all the rest of the routes. It was really enjoyably wholesome without being too saccharine or family sit-com feeling. I really liked how the protagonist's orientation was handled. The fact he is bi was treated like a foot-note and not his defining characteristic (even if I did take every opportunity to flirt with the boys), because of that the character felt a lot more realistic and was a pleasure to play.2 found this helpful
