Otome Jam Thoughts 2024: Adventure sin Clairune

By: RexaneSolo

Summary:

Step into the world of Clairune, where dragonborn, elves, witches, and humans all live in harmony.  Worm your way into the hearts of others.  Just remember to keep your name to your chest and heart on your sleeve!

Thoughts:

It has been so long since I've played a traditional fantasy otome if I'm being honest. It was really nice to pick one up again, and it definitely helps I'm getting back into DnD!

The world of this is very DnD inspired, and it feels familiar and comfortable to anyone into fantasy. The art in this was really nice, and I actually really enjoyed the backgrounds (the sky one for V's route stood out to me the most, I think I just really enjoyed the colors). As the love interests themselves, the routes are all simple and sweet! Clover was my favorite, but that's because I always have a thing for soft characters, but Jin had my favorite writing. I really loved how their themes tied together in the end, it was really lovely.

I do think this is one of the jam games where it feels like a jam game, and I would have liked for the characters to feel a little more fleshed out (I think I felt this the most with V, since it was the narrative where we were told about his issues but we never really saw it play it). But I can't really fault it for that since fleshing out a fantasy game in two months is a rather difficult thing to achieve.

I enjoyed my time with this game overall, and it's very much something to pick up if you're looking for a cozy fantasy otome!

Love my resident Drama King <3

V is such a fancy boy with all his gold horn accessories and gold earrings

Hii!

I played Adventures in Clairune a while ago and was SMITTEN but I've got to know... silly ask but hear me out- what are the trio's least favourite vegetable....?

Congratulations on the milestone! Thank you for all your hardwork~

Thank you! And what a cute ask. Here's your answer:

V: Oh onions easily. I'll be honest I never liked vegetables much in the first place. Sure they're fine with other food but I never liked them as a main dish. I hate onions though, they have such a strong taste that ruins anything nice I'm having. Clover: How are you still so childish, Lord V... V: Hey the question is least favorite vegetable! I answered the question. Now it's your turn. Clover: I for one do not dislike vegetables. I actually quite like them. Though if I had to pick one I personally do not like, it is definitely Beansprouts. They have this bitter taste that- V: All vegetables are bitter! Clover: Beansprouts are more bitter than what I usually eat. As a wood elf, vegetables and herbs are very much part of our diet. Flowers too but that's mostly for tea or garnish. Jin? Jin: I don't waste food.

V: Oh come on! Answer the question Mx Sneaky Shortie Jin: Call me short one more time- Clover: Surely you must have one vegetable you don't like? Jin: I do not. Clover: Lie. V: Come on. We already said ours! Jin: ...fine. It's Kai Lan. I dislike the little pods in the middle as they are very bitter. I used to eat around it the best I could when I was little. V: Oh I didn't eat any vegetables when I was little. Jin: Spoiled Royalty. V: Why must I be bullied by you both? Clover: I hope that answers your question!

Hello! I have been on a VN streak recently and just had the pleasure of playing your game and I just wanted to say it was so fun! I love the world-building, the characters, the art, all of it! I can't wait to see anything else you make in the future!!!

Thank you! I never really thought I could be a game developer but I guess I am one now by technicality. I've always been a writer at heart and there are some other ideas(one horror and another romance one~) I have for more VNs in the future. Not sure when yet but they'll most likely be game jams or something along those lines as I don't have the capital for a proper game. I still have to finish the ui for AiC so I'll try to finish that within this year. (and do more marketing (^ ^ ||) ) I was honestly expecting the game to get lesser traction considering I'm a nobody and this is my first gamejam so all the support has been a pleasant surprise. <3

Gonna delete this later, maybe(1500 downloads?!)

so uhhhh I want to do something for 1500 but I'm kinda busy with irl stuff. So if anyone has any questions for either me(as a game dev) or V or Jin or Clover or just any questions for the world of Clairune feel free to ask me and I'll make a compilation or do an answering session when I'm free. I'd like to avoid major spoilers from the game though so I'll try to answer most questions but no promises :3

Love is different for all three of them:

To V, love is a wild night and a quiet moment.

To Clover, love is trust reflected in the eyes and adoration felt in kisses.

To Jin, love is the sudden moment when your cottage becomes their home or maybe it's just you.

Thanks for the review :D I definitely learned my own limits in writing when it came to time to word count ratio
