Doomed Otaku

Doomed Otaku is a story-driven adventure about Jin Da-yeon, an Otaku in her twenties who moves between reality and the internet. A devoted fan of the Japanese idol game Idol☆Star, she agrees to lead a group purchase of limited-edition character perfumes launching in Japan, then spends the collected money on personal expenses. With 14 days until the order deadline, she must find a way to raise $5,000 and repay the group.

Life in two worlds

Reality is dull and colorless, while the internet is vibrant and exciting. Da-yeon needs SP (Social Point) to leave her apartment; when it runs out, she can no longer take actions.

In reality, you help the landlord manage the apartment building and can get unexpected help by growing close to its residents. You can also work at a nearby logistics center for a daily wage, and explore Forget-Me-Not Village for suspicious people, mysterious items and things that might be worth money.

The internet and Idol☆Star

Online, you intervene in disputes among Otakus and settle their drama. In Idol☆Star, Da-yeon’s favorite game, you can go on dates and play games with Ikeman, Neketsu and Shotaro. You can also earn in-game gold and convert Idol☆Star currency into real money through a user who trades game money for cash.

Relationships and endings

Relationships can become romantic, professional or toxic rivalries. Your choices shape Da-yeon’s connections and determine which of over 20 different endings she reaches.
