Game Title: Dot Kareshi -We're 8bit Lovers- I ~Densetsu no Otome~ 
Game Platform: PC
Game Developer: Rejet
Release Date: July 24, 2013
Walkthrough: here


Story:
The protagonist found herself waking up with four man staring at her. They were talking casualy at her like they've known her, she then realize that she was inside of a game, a game that she used to play, which the boys confirmed it. The four man wants the protagonist to pay since she didn't took up the side quests that the characters want to do when she was still controlling them. She just finished the game with brute force by making the characters max their levels by destroying monsters, because of that, the character's personalities became twisted. The characters then wants the protagonist to choose a quest for them to finish.

Characters:
 Name: Hero
The main character of the game. He is angry at the protagonist for not properly playing the game and naming him a Rotten Radish.
 Name: Wizard
Although his face looks like a person who is always strict and calm, he is actually easy to anger and annoyed. He is angry at the protagonist for not also playing the game properly and for turning the effects off making the scene for his spells to be cut.
 Name: Priest
Despite his name, he has actually a sadistic side of him and usually a pervert to the protagonist. He is lazy and always seemed to be annoyed.
Name: Thief
He is the most happy go lucky guy in the group. He flirts a lot to the protagonist and is always seen smiling.

---Warning! May contain spoilers!---
Do you want to feel a RPG style otome game? Well this game is just for you! It doesn't have a battle system (duh, it's an otome game) but the game still has the RPG-ish of it. Their are four bachelors to choose. They don't have a specific name since they have their default names which are their jobs (Hero, Wizard, Thief and Priest), except for Hero since his name is based on him being the main character of the game.

So basically, the game is straight forward since it is obvious who you will be with if you choose their requested quest. The comedy here is actually great, it really made me laugh out loud, I really like the part where Hero can't help himself to break pots whenever he sees one because the protagonist always breaks the pots when she was still controlling them, making Hero as his default hobby and the part where the protagonist named him Rotten Radish (I forgot the japanese term).

Their personalities have been twisted too like the Priest being a lazy douche and the four of them being a pervert, especially Thief and Priest. The art is amazing as always and the voice actors are great too! I recognize Thief's voice acting, the same one with Okita Souji from Hakuouki and Ren from UtaPri. The bg is... common, it suits the game very much since it is a RPG style and the game is short. I wish it was longer and having no bad ending saddens me since I also like some bad endings, especially if the boy became yandere. I know, I know, I'm kind of a masochist but who cares right?

My fave ending of all is the common route, even if it doesn't have a CG, I like the fact that they all worked together (or more like they pulled her) for the protagonist to make her stay in their world. For the good ending, my fave would be Thief's, since the CG is actually cute and the only CG contains a full view of a kiss. For the normal ending, my fave would be Wizard's, since he pulled her back in their world, he also has the sense of responsibility to take her back one day and he also wants to see the world where the protagonist lives in. I don't have a particular fave character here which is new since I usually have one. Oh well.

Overall, this game is recommended, it doesn't have an official english translation but it has a fan translation. Kudos to them!
