Honestly I think this game is lovely.
It's not very well talked about in the otome community, I hadn't really heard of it until I found it by chance. Im glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews and I bought it. The atmosphere comes across really nicely, the friendship and dialogue between the characters is really refreshing much like Amnesia and a few others I could name. The art is s unique and pretty, the characters proportions don't feel off, the colour schemes are soooo nice and remind you of a relaxing summer in the country!
I didn't finish all of the routes yet completely, since I do just have a preference for the ones I did, but everything is really well written and keeps you wanting to read more.. This was especially nice for me since I have a kind of low attention span sometimes, I didn't really find myself getting distracted for something else often. Yes the plot does kind of get lost in most of the routes and becomes less about MC's brother and more about MC's love interest but I think that is just your average otome game.
Some people said there is a lack of romance in the game honestly I don't see it, it's not going to be some steamy 18+ VN with a load of thirst though if that's what you're hoping for...
I only had my game crash once despite what the reviews said and I think that's because I used the auto mode so maybe that's something to note against but I didn't really find that to be a massive problem.
If you really are on the fence about it, maybe wait until its on sale, but honestly it's worth it either way!
I’ve just finished 7’scarlet, and I think it’s one of the most captivating otome games I’ve played. This mystery-themed visual novel strikes a delicate balance between suspense and romance, set in the atmospheric, folklore-rich village of Okunezato. While it’s not without flaws, the overall experience is one I won’t forget anytime soon.
The plot revolves around Ichiko Hanamaki, who travels to Okunezato to uncover the truth behind her brother’s disappearance. Each chapter brings a mix of suspense, drama, and intriguing revelations about the village’s dark secrets. The pacing is spot-on, with every route adding new pieces to the overarching mystery.
What I appreciated most was how the game kept me guessing without feeling overwhelming. Even the true ending—while somewhat predictable—was emotional and gripping. While this isn’t a lighthearted romance, if you enjoy a mix of thrilling mysteries and love stories, 7’scarlet won’t disappoint.
The love interests in 7’scarlet each brought something unique to the table, with their routes offering a mix of suspense, personal growth, and romantic moments. Here’s a quick breakdown of my impressions (without spoilers!):
Hino: His route feels like a warm-up for the rest of the game. While his romance leans into the classic childhood-friend trope, it’s lighthearted and amusing. His character—a mix of sporty and secretly dorky—added a fun, endearing vibe to his story.
Isora: If you like your otome with a touch of creepiness, this is the route for you. While his story doesn’t dive deeply into the overarching mystery, it creates an unsettling atmosphere that left an impression. Isora’s personality is surprisingly complex, though I wish the game had delved more into his temper and actions rather than leaving them unexplored.
Toa: What a surprise! I started his route with low expectations, but it completely floored me. Toa’s story is easily one of the highlights of the game—full of unexpected twists and emotional depth. His arc caught me off guard in the best way possible, making him my favourite character by far 💖.
Sosuke: This route had me on the edge of my seat. The suspense builds beautifully, with plenty of intense moments balanced by a romance that feels genuine and well-paced. I loved how both Sosuke and Ichiko grew as characters, and his perfectionist quirks made him more relatable and fun.
Yuzuki: If you’re after a route that combines drama, action, and romance, Yuzuki’s story is the whole package. Despite its fast pace, the events never felt forced or overwhelming. His cold, aloof demeanor hides a warm and caring side, making him a compelling character both romantically and within the mystery’s context.
And what of the protagonist?
Ichiko is a bit of a mixed bag. She’s determined to find her brother, which drives the story forward, but her recklessness and naivety sometimes made me want to yell at the screen. Still, she had her moments, especially when she got adorably awkward in her romantic interactions. While she’s not the strongest otome protagonist I’ve seen, she’s far from the worst—and her persistence and occasional clumsiness made her endearing enough.
And finally, the art in 7’scarlet is gorgeous, and the character designs are spot on. The backgrounds capture the eerie vibe of Okunezato perfectly, and the CGs are beautiful. The animations and cutscenes were a nice touch, but the story would’ve been strong even without them.
The music really stands out, setting the tone for both the mystery and the more emotional moments. The voice acting is solid and brings the characters to life.
What I Loved:
- Gripping mystery with excellent pacing.
- Each route adds something unique to the overall story.
- Gorgeous visuals and a great soundtrack.
- Toa’s route is an absolute masterpiece!
What Could’ve Been Better:
- Some routes and character actions could’ve been fleshed out more.
- The secret route’s ending felt rushed and underwhelming.
- Ichiko’s naivety and recklessness could be frustrating at times.
Would I recommend 7’scarlet?
Absolutely! If you love mysteries with romantic elements and a touch of suspense, this game is for you. It’s not perfect, but its unique setting, gripping plot, and memorable characters make it a standout in the otome genre.
Whether you pick it up on sale or at full price, 7’scarlet is an experience worth having. Just be ready for some emotional twists and turns—you’ll get attached to the story and its characters before you know it!
While the romance and (most of) the characters weren't all that interesting, the plot was so intriguing that I felt compelled to keep playing. I probably would've finished the game in half the time if it hadn't crashed every fifteen minutes or so. Remember to save often!
[STEAMDECK REVIEW]
First off, this game does show as unplayable on the steam store page. However, I personally had no issues with it. To each there own if you want to try it out. I had started off playing this game on my PC and actually had issues playing it on there, so when I got my steamdeck I replayed the entire game on that instead just fine.
The game was super fun, I put 41hrs into it! I loved it a lot and absolutely recommend it! It deals with mystery, fantasy, horror and a dash of romance in each route. The secret ending or "true route" so to speak that you unlock, was really the crazy plot twist for me and super tragic/bittersweet so fyi going in! This game really kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know more about the MC and the people around her. I even balled my eyes out on one of the RO routes. So prepare for tears to be spilled! The game art is absolutely gorgeous too! The artist was KURAHANA CHINATSU whose worked on some popular BL games you might know as Lamento-Beyond the Void or Togainu no Chi.
In the end, this game gave so much. I will say, it follows more of the plot with mystery & urban legends for the MC vs romance if that was something you needed to know. This game was one of the best otomes I've certainly played on Steam to date and won't be forgetting it anytime soon.
GAME WARNINGS:
This game does deal with some sensitive topics which may or may not be limited to: [spoiler]Death/Loss of Loved Ones, Murder, Martyrdom-Self Sacrifice, Obsessive/Possessive/Captivity/Stalking-Attacking/Predator like behaviors from certain ROs in certain endings or from the characters after the MC in the game.[spoiler]
A lot of people told me this game wasn't that good, and it's also not a game that is talked about a lot in the otome community. However, I decided to give it a chance, as I tend to find things interesting even though a large group of people believe they are bad.
And honestly, I don't regret it one bit. I really had fun while playing it, and the story was interesting enough to keep me hooked most of the time. I laughed, I cried, I blushed, and I even squealed like a little girl!
While it may not be the best of the lot, it's a game I'll hold dear to my heart.
I found myself laughing over Sosuke's dry jokes. No wonder he has certain sense of humor, since he once visited Germany.
The backgrounds are gorgeous and soundtracks are creepy enough to scare me. I don't finish the whole game bcz I dislike a character like Yuzuki, reading the spoiler would suffice.
Playing 7's Carlet while it's raining outside is the best way to enjoy this game
This game should serve as a standard of otome games. There are 7 separate routes with just enough meaningful choices, awesome visuals and soundscape. Naturally, the story is all we want and it's there - layered mystery, romance, fun. The only cooncern is crashing for no known reason, so i recommend to run it windowed and save every time there's choice branching. Other than that, 7'sCarlet is an absolute must have for otome lovers
