Secrets of Me

（进度8/10）除了逆转吉原这个捆包的乙游玩完了。其过程的痛苦程度并不是在玩游戏，确切地来说不如说是受刑来得准确。这一部秉承了一贯的风格，土得要死的UI，没有cv的演出，没什么意思的剧本。甚至无简中，看得有点累。就连画风也是里面所有最崩的。 设定极其恶心让人无语。女主是恋爱脑/抖m/小三/跟踪狂还带点圣母。简直就是集所有我厌恶的属性为一体。攻略的所有对象都是有未婚妻/女朋友。虽说很多都是名义夫妻或者和平分手对男女主的情感没有阻拦但是女主的行为依旧让人恶心。其次我真的觉得男主的原女友或者未婚妻更有魅力。就算走百合也不至于这么让人玩不下去。 里边男主也让我见识到了nt的多样性。其中一个带着女主的面和好多情妇开银帕。捏妈的居然当自己的未婚妻不爱自己只是图钱的时候还觉得自己很委屈很伤心。你这不废话吗，谁会爱一个到处出轨的烂黄瓜啊？还有各种三观不正脱离现实逻辑死的令人费解的剧情充斥每条线从头到尾。剩下的多多少少也都很离谱，所有男主动不动就发情，以此作为男人的标准。这是什么模拟真实三次xsr。 其实说是男性向也没差反正除了医生和作家每条都是种马配处女。我看言情就很反感这种配置，玩乙游更是如此。全部都恶心得不行。

[b]Art:[/b] 9/10 [b]Music:[/b] 4/10 [b]Storylines:[/b] 6/10 [b]Characters:[/b] 6/10 [b]Overall:[/b] 6'25/10 An easy cliche otome VN with a slight twist. Buy it on sale to complete your Dogenzaka Lab collection or directly in the bundle itself. The MC is a girl full of insecurities regarding her appearance, so obsessed with it that she goes through plastic surgery right at the start of the VN just to be pretty for her boyfriend. After discovering that he's a scammer, though, the MC sets her sights on another man out of the 5 that she meets right after her surgery, deciding to take the dubious advice from one of them and stalk them in order to gain information and seduce them. Also, all of those men already have a girlfriend or fiance, so it's the MC's job to ensure they break up to fill the gap. That's basically the premise of it, however the "stalking" itself takes a backseat in 3 out of the 5 routes and, though it [i]is[/i] still part of the story it's easy to forget about it. Heck, in one of the routes she's actually hired to do the stalking by the guy himself, I personally don't consider it stalking when the other party knows about it and encourages it. Also, despite the game apparently wanting to play that card as if it makes the game twisted or something... In the end it's actually just a way to make it far more credible how the MC keeps meeting with the romantic interest of each route and being at the right place at the right time, something that always happens in those games except in all those it's blamed on it just being a "coincidence". The other element the game tries to pride itself on doing differently and thus "being a twist" is the fact that the MC is "the other" and causes break ups to happen in order to stay with the guy in question. Unfortunately, this isn't such an original twist as the game thinks, the only "original" thing is that it's a cliche that's shared in [b]all[/b] of the routes. Many other otome VNs usually have at least one guy with a girlfriend or a fiancé, often forced on them due business deals or something like that. And this game actually plays on that card as well, none of the guys really seem happy with their respective current girlfriends/fiancés and it ends being as if the MC is saving them from a life without love by tempting them. The translation job could use serious improvement, but it's not as worse as many others on similar simple otomes. There [b]are[/b] several glaring typos that seem to suggest there wasn't even a simple proof-reading before putting them in the game rather than just hit the spell-checker tool, but their presence varies. They seem to run rampant on two of the routes while the other three show a welcomed lack of them (there still are some of them but they are so rare that it's easy to forgive). The VN is full of cliches and troupes common in the genre, though the use of those elements depends on the route, which is what makes the quality of the storylines fluctuate. In my opinion one of the routes was simply terrible, with barely any direction and sense of flow in the story, events just kept happening and being thrown around and the progression of the relationship felt plastic and mechanic. Two of them, however, were much better, presenting actually interesting characters and conflicts and a depth I didn't expect in this kind of game. The MC herself varies slightly in personality and intelligence between routes, being quite sharp and quick in one and a complete idiot in another. The worst part, by far, is the music. Just mute it and put some playlist or something else if you want to listen to something while going through the game. There are about 3 tracks, maybe more but the game abuses the heck out of 3 in particular and they aren't even very good, just a few notes set in a constant loop. That coupled with the annoying chiming sound whenever advancing the text is basically a guaranteed headache. This kind of soundtrack is acceptable for a mobile game (in fact this game [b]is[/b] a port from a mobile game), but not on PC. The art is good, but only regarding the characters' designs and the CGs. The backgrounds are blurry and highly limited in number, and the game doesn't even try to make it seem as if it's a different place just looking similarly. Your whole life in this VN is going to center on the MC's room, a street and a cafe, with a few more places added depending on the route you choose but that's about it. It's not great, but it's sufficient as the focus of the game is in the storytelling, unfortunately, as I mentioned before, that by itself isn't that great. Not a purchase I regret in the slightest (though two routes, one more than the other, made me experience physical pain to get through) but definitively one I'm not going to return to any time soon.

Steam needs a 'Meh" option. I have said this a million times and I will continue to stick to it. This game had a unique premise for an otome game in that you get to play a stalker, so in some cases it was self-aware and I want to believe it was humorous on purpose, too. However, that's where the enjoyment ends. Mizuki is my favorite of the characters and I liked the aesthetic of Ryo and Meguru, but the fact that every character was in a relationship that you have to break up; well, it just made the game un-enjoyable. Add in the fact that the MC is stalked or sexually assaulted and grabbed against her will and then constantly made fun of for being innocent and it's constantly made known that they "want to assault her for being innocent" and it just completely made me uninterested in the rest of the story. So, despite loving the fact that the game gives you a different plot than other otome game, I am rating it a "no" to try to even out the reviews so people can see it's just a meh game. It's ok enough to play if you get it cheap/on sale but definitely not worth the full price.

2025.02.06-02.09 全通时长9.2h ns港服官方译名为 从跟踪开始的恋情 一句话感想：没想到这15块钱花得这么值。 如果用轻小说标题来概括的话就是《为了恋人花光积蓄整容后却发现对方是婚姻骗子！~为找寻真爱开启的跟踪之路、结果他竟然有恋人！？~》。 可能涉及剧透但我觉得应该会是一种雷点所以先说明：五个可攻略全部都有女朋友/未婚妻。不过副标题就是“恋の始まりは略奪で”，感觉完全点明了游戏内容啊！ ※本作cg女主无眼 整体来说我个人打得很愉快，对于15块钱的游戏来讲真的让我很惊喜。但不是说这个游戏剧情有多好多有恋爱感，是太搞笑了，癫癫的搞笑。 虽然游戏是小三模拟器，但我觉得比起做小三，更有做跟踪狂的实感（不是）。而且女主心理活动超好笑，开头完全就是：“这种事只适合美女啦，我做不来的。啊不对！我现在已经是美女了欸！”而且不管怎么说，看上一个男人后决定通过跟踪他来判断是否适合自己这一点还是很创新很有特色的吧！ 整体来说女主属于有“不要破坏别人感情”的觉悟但不多哈哈哈哈哈。而且有三条线吧，跟未婚妻桑相处得还怪好；另外两条线里女友桑是反派角色。所以我觉得不适合道德感高的人玩。 五个男角色我个人概括是： 穗坂骏：想让所有人幸福反而会让所有人不幸。 久远瑞树：看上去是不靠谱侦探但有些地方还挺好男人的……？ 药师巡：有钱没地儿花的不懂爱男子。 橘龙之介：有的人用一生治愈童年。 二宫彰：口味独特的专情傲娇。 【以下含重大剧透】 ​【以下含重大剧透】 ​【以下含重大剧透】 ​​【以下含重大剧透】 ​【以下含重大剧透】 ​​​【以下含重大剧透】 二宫彰 因为序章女主说他就是造成自己对外貌越来越自卑的罪魁祸首，于是我秉持着“最容易吃史的要先打”的原则第一条线就选了他。结果开头没多久（第二章？）女主梦到高中时代，是自己想要减肥结果二宫给她买来好多吃的要求她一定要吃完，从这里我立马就发现这家伙铁暗恋女主啊！而且后面看到他说不要节食减肥，回忆起自己高中时期有同学在下午有体育课的中午节食。倒是没想到这么快就能解开误会。 然后后面超冲击的是，那个超胖的女sub竟然不是跟踪狂而是他的正牌女友！而且他说完全是看上对方的外表。我：你小子搞婉婉类卿这套啊？！女主学生时期因为舞台剧而给他做的王子装饰被他当手机链随身携带，完全超爱。而且我怀疑被女主约到教室一直心神不宁是因为误以为女主要告白吧，结果女主误以为他想上厕所。就是女主这种地方让我觉得超萌超喜欢。 他的女友是反派，跟他在一起是为了和朋友炫耀。最后不愿意分手，以“你怕别人知道你喜欢我这种的”为要挟，结果这哥们直接自己发网上说喜欢肉肉的，然后女主被女友爆料是整成这样的、以前也是胖胖的丑女。我当时看到这里的时候，都有点同情前女友了，你这一说男主不更要狂喜了？🤣我觉得剧本挺开放的一点就是，这位女友桑工作的地方是专门面向i胖人的陪酒店。我确实没有想到。 约会剧情还有跟踪狂跟踪女主，跟踪狂爆炸发言：你有男朋友也没关系！让我做你的奴隶吧！！！笑飞我。 药师巡 二宫线提到他有妻子还有很多情妇，于是我二周目勇闯。 最大的心情是：能不能也来帮帮我让我变美。他真金白银地给钱欸！而且不要求对方为自己干这干那，只是为了对方的笑容！如果需要的话还能上床。天降男菩萨！ 女主也很搞笑，被邀请上船后（药师为了看未婚妻对自己的真心而邀请了所有“情妇”一起上船），为了取得胜利，不是选择跟男主多接触，而是安装100个窃听器🤣🤣🤣而且后面发现未婚妻也上船了且有不好的打算，为了听她和侦探在密谋什么，于是女主选择——把听诊器拿出来（窃听用的）/把螺丝起子拿出来（没记错的话是拆门）/把解锁的铁丝拿出来（撬锁），我看到这个选项真的尖叫，这是乙游里能出现的选项吗！🤣🤣🤣 久远瑞树 药师线碰到了这位对方掏钱就会教给对方卧底的侦探，于是三周目就选了他。 他女朋友是真的帅，两个人有一点点半开放性关系的感觉。最后分开是因为女友在SM俱乐部上班被发现，而且女友是S，属于和他撞型号了。不过也没说他是S啦。 意外地是个好男人，在没跟女友正式分手前没跟女主本垒，虽然亲过，但是放到这个游戏里算是很珍惜女主很负责了。 一旦习惯这个游戏就是小三模拟器之后就觉得爆点也没有那么多。开头女主摔倒第一反应是自己的脸会不会崩掉hhhhh毕竟是花了大价钱的脸呢！ 橘龙之介 他在橘线说“即使有男朋友有老公也可以一起玩啊”让我绿色青蛙五个字。而且开头是雇女主当自己的跟踪狂作为写作素材hhhh不仅帮女主买齐装备还说女主工作不认真，不能看他变化路线就不跟踪！ 而且他其实没有乱搞欸！未婚妻是因为他不想自己的财产死后被他的混蛋爹继承所以才跟编辑订婚了，结局当然是手术成功能长命百岁，而且编辑也有自己喜欢的人！ 故事是比较俗套啦。小时候爸爸的情妇们在自己眼前争风吃醋，自己长大了点后情妇们又开始盯上他，于是对女人和爱情都不信任，但纯真的女主改变了他！还通过小说发现了他渴望爱的一面，让他自己重燃对生的渴望。 另外剧本涉猎很广啊，这条线橘去sm俱乐部采访，和“女王大人”探讨sm的真谛（纯口头采访）。 穗坂骏 写到这里我已经不知道要说什么了。 他的故事就是一直憧憬的祖父和未婚妻的父亲交情很好，于是在祖父的要求下和妻子订婚。本想着感情可以培养，却遇见了女主，无法对自己的心意说谎，最后跟未婚妻坦白。 不过未婚妻这边也早就爱上他人——原本以为不安而答应和老同学开车兜风却出了车祸，为得到男主关注而装病，同学认为这一切都是自己的错于是每周都带花探望，在这样的相处下心逐渐偏移。 总之是一个两人解除婚约各自奔向各自的幸福的故事。 总结来说故事性挺单薄的。我喜欢这个游戏是纯爱上女主🆘因为女主的反应真的很好玩！我挺理解某些线里面男主故意使坏逗女主的，女主的反应确实挺出乎意料的。不太理解剧本怎么想到的这些发展反正是让我大爆笑。

Whenever I think to write a review for a game developed by Dogenzaka Labs, I have a hard time deciding whether or not I should "recommend" the game in question. At this point, I have played through the majority of content DL has to offer, and as a result, have noticed that the review sections on this platform are almost always polarizing. If you're interested in the otome genre and are *only* familiar with AAA titles like Hakuoki or Collar x Malice, Dongenzaka Lab games might be a hard pill to swallow. Unlike bigger titles, DL games tend to focus on the erotic side of otome, often covering taboo topics like workplace sex or even incest. Although "Secrets of Me" is admittedly one of the tamer works that DL has in store, you can almost always expect the writing of these games to be fantastical and raunchy on a rather absurd level. In essence, these stories are not for everyone. If you've made it this far, and aren't offended by the topics that DL explores, you might be interested in "Secrets of Me". Without going into too much detail about the narrative, the MC in this tale has recently undergone intense plastic surgery in the hopes of becoming worthy of her chilly fiance - only to find that his feelings for her are anything but romantic. The MC must learn how to accept her new body and all the newfound attention she's receiving from her transformation. Compared to Dongenzaka Lab's body of work, "Secrets of Me" is one of the more enjoyable games on the list (and trust me, my bar isn't very high). The love interests in this game posses more intriguing quirks and back stories than their counterparts. There are fewer problematic situations, and some characters are even called out for their bad behavior (this isn't always the case in a DL game, so I thought it might be worth mentioning). Other than that, it really is your average smut game. It's not the best I've read, but it does its job.

I was suprised at first that everyone of them was in a relationship with someone else and I needed to get rid of them. As long as they were horrible persons it would be fine but some of them were actually nice... The stalking was funnier than expected.

男主不是结婚就是跟女配是恋人的，难以代入，无法做到以第三人视角去理解主控的想法，谢谢！打此游戏的过程中却十足地费劲，好感度提成也困难，我受够了这样呢偶吼吼，，，，，

这一作主打一个加量不加价……但是剧情也更逆天了！什么玩意啊？男主有女朋友，有未婚妻，我也是为了别人整的容，结果我去抢别人男朋友？？？樱花妹好这口？

This promise you to be NOT like other typical otome games, but fast in becoming even worse. MC is classicaly helpless and stupid, love intersets are stereotypic, boring. It is definitley nothing new in MC aspect, in plot develpment, in love interest, just like absolute mass of other otome games. It is even worse in how this tropes were brought together. Cliche plot, lookism and sexism basically oozing out from this VN. Overall all game make you wanna puke with disgust.

很像古早台湾偶像剧的一部作品，里面有几个男主的线我还是很喜欢的，立绘和cg也是也是以前很流行的那种风格。就是比起说是尾随跟踪为主题的作品，更像是以挖墙脚为主题。几乎每个男主在认识的时候都已经有女朋友或者未婚妻，但是和未婚妻感情有严重的问题。这一点也非常像是古早偶像剧，但是由于接受度比较广，当作轻松搞笑的打完了还是比较推荐的。
