If you love otome games where characters feel like they truly exist in the world you are immersing yourself in, this is it.
Dark Nights has truly been the most memorable game for me, as I feel like as I am growing to know how to survive better in the circumstances that the MC is tossed in, the characters are also 'growing'. Even after completing the character specific routes, I find myself being able to learn more aspects about them in other routes, allowing me to have a deeper emotional understanding and attachment towards each of them.
Often, in my experience, I found myself playing otomes where characters only existed in their route, which took me outside of the immersive experience as it felt like I was being pigeon holed to only one person.
(Note: I played in the advised order of Kurato > Sachiro > Zeikun > Junoru. For Kurato on my first play through, I died. However, the hints provided allowed me to gain one of the romantic endings for Sachiro on my first play through, the same for Zeikun as well. However, for Junoru, I got to two death endings before I managed to achieve a romantic end. The fact that I couldn't be perfect also made the playing experience even more real, and I am currently aiming to try and complete all the possible endings).
