Thank you for recommendations! You really opened me to COG titles.
My personal favourites:
Wayhaven Chronicles (yay, there are two parts to this incredible series as of now)
Fallen Hero: Rebirth (a superhero setting; the romance is so, so good if you love angst and pining)
Tally Ho (a Woodhouse-inspired setting; the romance is scarce in comparison with the previous two titles, but very sweet and funny nonetheless)
SLAMMED! (a pro wrestling setting. no, really! the writing is very engaging. however, please take into consideration that if you want to play as a cis-gendered heterosexual woman, as in most otome, you'll have one love interest to choose from)
Choice of the Deathless (a Ace Attorney-like setting with literal demons. the writing is kind of psychedelic, but I liked it. the romance is very cute)
All of these games are both on COG website/app and on Steam. Considerably cheaper on Steam, though.
