Crazy Ones is a "one of a kind" bishojo game, out now on mobile

Crazy Ones: A Male-Centric Otome Game Review

Crazy Ones is a newly released otome game, reversing the typical gender roles by placing the player in the shoes of a male protagonist. This unique approach combines turn-based battles with a narrative-focused dating sim experience. The game features four distinct female characters, each with their own personality and backstory, vying for the player's affection.

The game's premise, inspired by Steve Jobs' famous quote, plunges the player into the fast-paced world of big business. Romance and drama intertwine as the male protagonist navigates corporate intrigue and pursues relationships with four compelling women: Hakuo, the dependable HR manager; Hyouka Natsume, the tsundere president of a rival company; Chika Ono, an aspiring musician; and Tomoko, the protagonist's protégé. Gameplay incorporates turn-based battles using cards representing the protagonist's memories.

While the game emphasizes emotional connections over simple fanservice, the concept of simultaneous romances raises some questions. The title itself, "Crazy Ones," hints at the potential for unexpected narrative twists. Despite these reservations, Crazy Ones appears to be a solid visual novel-style game for fans of the genre.

Crazy Ones is available now on the iOS App Store and Google Play. For players looking for similar titles, check out our list of the top 12 best narrative adventure games for mobile.
