oh i did! this post is like a year ago but im replying anyways heuhhwuf

i loved the game!!! you take this like "test" in the common route and whoever you get through that test would be your compatible partner in the game + also the route youll be taking! though imo it could do some work w the romantic routes and the build up (helvetica and mozu romantic route ... TT) but it was such a really good play! plot twists were good as well (thought they didnt shock me? like sure it was unexpected but its not much of a shocker..) and gooodd the plot..!! its the plot that made me love bustafellows alot!

bustafellows is the type of otome game that would do really well even without the romance option! its very plot heavy and tackles heavy topics as well so thumbs up!

have u played bustafellows alrdy? aaaa i wanna know whos your faveee ><

I like it. Not interest in the LI much beside Scarecrow, and clearly romance not a strong point of the writer team, but the story is good. I think it worth a try.

maybe i played at it the wrong headspace, but i didnt enjoy it as much. there were elements that were fun but i ended up getting bored of it especially the romance parts. but plotwise its pretty decent and i could imagine it as a solid anime. sadly i didnt enjoy it as i hoped. but maybe i'll replay it someday and like it.

one of my favs! good story, rven for that one LI i hated, it didnt feel torture at ALL to play his route (only the romance scenes were horrible for me since i hated him lol but they were good food to ppl who liked him)

i totally recommand it if you like angst! (i cried a lot, but its not on virche level of angst either lol) romance is good, cg are good, plot is good, plottwists are good, anyway i loved it! huge 100/10^^ looking forward to the second game being localized in 2025 and the new app Full Circle that will get released in 2025 in jp ❤

Bustafellows was the first Otome I played in a long while. I got it because it was on sale on Steam at the time (maybe a year or two ago?). The Steam version was a little wonky at times and had some weird controls from what I remember, but I loved it! I thought Teuta was a great protagonist and I liked the chemistry the main cast had together. Limbo and Scarecrow were my favortie LIs. The bad ends were great too, especially that one Limbo bad end.

I found the ending/big plot twist at the end to be kinda silly though. The plot was pretty tight throughout the common route, but it fell apart for me towards the end. I don't want to say more about it to avoid spoilers, but I wasn't a fan of it. Regardless, I still think it's a great game! The common route is especially good, imo.

Looking forward to the second game's localization for sure!

I didn't know there was an app! Sounds interesting. I'm hoping I can get my JP skills up enough to check it out. Which LI did you hate?

I'm currently playing (if you consider it that, since I've been procrastinating on it for a long time) and I kind of started it in the dark, without knowing much about what it was about or the synopsis (it was on sale on steam, heard the name before, bought it).
It's a game focused more on the plot/general story than romance, but sometimes I just feel like some dialogues drag a little bit on... For example, in the 1-2 chapters (if I'm not mistaken) I remember there being different dialogues all just saying the same thing in different words (Teuta, the heroine, had to arrive at a certain conclusion). I'm not sure if if was the translation that felt kind of weird when compared to the jpn audio (that I could understand) and that's why it felt a little dragged on, or if maybe I just arrived at the conclusion fast enough and felt really frustrated that sometimes the game would slow down a little so that the audience/player could understand too.

Also, I love it when the heroine has voice and a more defined personality. But I kind of agree on the person that they didn't enjoy it as much. Maybe I'm also kind of playing it in the wrong headspace, but it's not really my cup of tea I guess

Yeah tbh the jp is hard in this game, I'm really glad the sequel will be localised haha

Shu wasn't my cup of tea to be honest. this is merely my opinion the way, everyone is welcome to love him in my stead lol

oh i found the last chapters great to be honest, and i cried at the end so hard i'm traumatized haha

Really? Dang, that stinks lol. I guess most VNs not set in high school are probably pretty hard to read. I'm really looking forward to when I can read stuff with more adult characters though.

I get that. He wasn't my favorite, either. I think I disliked Helvetica the most though out of all of them. But even then it wasn't really a strong dislike. I guess that sort of LI just isn't my type.

I think I only cried at Mozu's route? I don't remember exactly. Maybe by the end I was just too burnout because I was playing it nonstop for a few days to finish it lol. It was definitely depressing though. I liked the childhood friends and missing brother arc, but it was mostly just the stuff with the app and whatnot that I found kinda... idk random? Maybe I just missed some foreshadowing or something though lol.
