About the Game


Sudden inspiration to create otome game using my OCs. Despite title "Cheating Absolutely Forbidden", initial routes follow standard otome romance patterns.

  • 4 main + 4 secondary romanceable characters

  • Secondary routes intricately connected to main routes

  • Romantic routes can get quite messy

*Current profiles show basic info only - full versions require in-game interactions
(PS: Incomplete endings await unfaithful players)
