Even as someone who doesn’t typically engage with romance-driven narratives, I found their arcs compelling because they weren’t just about romance—they were about growth, loss, and overcoming past burdens. The game also does a great job of making all the love interests likable, which is something I didn’t expect, as many games in this genre tend to have at least one character who feels weaker or less interesting.

Striking things about Genso Manège is its art style. The character designs are detailed, expressive, and visually appealing. The background artwork also deserves praise, as it effectively creates a whimsical and dreamlike atmosphere that suits the theme of the story perfectly. The amusement park setting is vibrant, yet there is always a sense of something hidden beneath its bright exterior, reinforcing the game’s more mysterious elements. The music also plays a huge role in shaping the game’s mood. From light, playful tracks to more sombre and haunting melodies.

The moment I first started playing, I noticed the lack of dialogue options. It’s only around once per chapter you get the chance to say anything, and even then it’s hard to tell the choice that favours a character. There is only one point where it is clear who it is in favour of, and that is by going to visit the area where they work. Although I knew the character I wanted to romance, I can imagine it’s hard for players to get to ‘know’ any of the characters, as you can hardly speak or interact with them. By chapter 4, you are given a route. I got Serge (luckily). Miraculous Paris Under Siege Switch NSP

All was going well until he mentioned he was 27. That was when I remembered, the character you play as (called Emma, although you can customise the name), is 17. I’ll be honest, this really put me off. I’m in my early 20s, which I believe to be the average age of an Otome player. Playing as a minor made me feel weird in itself, but it was even worse knowing I was romancing someone 10 years older than me. After I finished his route, I went for Crier, the yandere. But he too is 17, so that also made me feel weird. I went onto the official website to find the age rating and saw it is PG 12.

Emma was able to use her magic and she must dig deep within herself and fight through painful, repressed memories to retrieve it.

The game explores a lot of triggering themes, and in my opinion, nobody under the age of 18 should be playing this. I felt it was completely unnecessary to have the main character be a minor and have most of the characters be older than you. I was interested in Hugo too, but since he’s around the same age or even older than Serge, I decided against it. If the main character was above 18, then sure! But the mix in ages was a turn off. Curiosity takes Emma to a traveling amusement park attraction, where she uncovers a shocking truth. The park itself happens to be magical, with the people running it as its captives.

Unable to leave its sphere of influence freely.  Emma’s latent witch abilities may hold the key to freeing them from their forced servitude, but can she overcome her past trauma to reclaim them? And what, exactly, will happen to everyone if she succeeds? Amidst the park’s attractions await looming mysteries and unknown dangers, though Emma might find something more hopeful and brighter than she ever thought possible there, too. To say much more about Genso Manège‘s narrative would risk exploring spoiler territory for individual character routes.

As she works at the Rêve and unravels the tangled threads of her forgotten past, Emma befriends the amusement park’s employees.

Given how well-written and emotionally compelling they are, I’d be remiss to do so. The main cast of characters is a likable bunch, and I enjoyed learning more about them as the plot thickened. Hugo is mysterious, polite, and knows more than he lets on, while Serge is his by-the-books second-in-command with a hidden, dry sense of humor. Crier is an easily embarrassed guy who acts tough but has a not-so-hidden soft spot he’ll readily deny as he’s often at odds with Clara despite the two being close. The supportive aforementioned Clara becomes a fast friend and encourager to the more timid Emma.

Arnaud is Emma’s protective foster brother, who works as an investigative journalist. Finally, Lyon and Luciole work at the park as the innocent rabbit-costumed mascot and reclusive mechanic, respectively. It’s after Emma visits that she learns the truth. Almost everyone working at Reve isn’t just doing so for fun. They have to. They’re trapped. A witch’s spell bound everyone to the park. Because of an interaction Emma had with the manege at the park, the man in charge named Hugo realized she’s a witch and could potentially set them all free. Minute of Islands Switch NSP
