Aside from all this romance games live and die on the cast, and there is an excellent cast of characters to choose from. No matter who you choose, you get to know everyone around you, and they bond together throughout the year independent of you. Each piece moves like fully formed people adding to that perfect feeling that what is happening is real. Jack Jeanne is the pinnacle, and evolution of the genre beyond simple dialogue trees. It’s a turning point for romance games, and we are unlikely to see a change so drastic for a long time.
Jack Jeanne is easily the best otome game you can play right now, if you’re ok with rhythm gameplay. I love rhythm games and good quality otome games so Jack Jeanne feels tailor made for me. If you enjoy rhythm games but haven’t been able to get into the otome sub genre yet, this is for you. Just go buy Jack Jeanne.

The best visual novel/otome game I've ever seen. It's so good even to a point I'd recommend it even for people who aren't intersted in otome games but enjoy visual novels.
Everything was made with so much love, attention, detail, care, you can feel how every staff member really loved this project.
The art is beautiful, the voice acting is spectacular, the songs are mindblowing.
All the characters are amazing, well written, they never fall flat or boring. The story leaves no plot holes and even the few cliche aspects (childhood friend, a girl secretly in a boys school) are so well done that you can grow to like them.
This is a must-play. It's an amazing game that changed forever the way I see otome visual novels.

Jack Jeanne is a magnific experience! Not just for the otome games but also for the visual novels industry.
The characters have a very beautiful development, the plot is smooth, pretty and very deep! The music and the art are just perfect, Sui Ishida did an amazing job!
Kisa is one of the best MC, she is strong, pretty, kind and a very lovely person!
The romance is the most principal point but I think its more… natural? Than in others games, the love is part of the plot ofc but… its just SO SMOOTH-
I love it.
And the rhythm game is fun, a extra mechanic in a kind of game that is strange have this type of things! I love it! I play a lot of otome games and this one is right now one of my favourites! Please play!
Oh rama Havenna!

Jack Jeanne is a sensational visual novel full of singing, dancing and drama. If you like rhythm games and hunky boys then you're in for a treat.
Jack Jeanne is an interesting otome title focusing more on its plot and emotional buildup than on direct romance. However, it still manages to spin a compelling and thought-provoking narrative with a whole lot of heart. Jack Jeanne celebrates creativity with characters you can truly appreciate when the final curtain falls. It’s a prime example of a game taking an innovative risk by leaping into the unknown and becoming a much stronger gaming experience.
Jack Jeanne is an absolute delight. It’s one of my favorite games of 2023. I’d easily consider it my favorite Switch otome game, in the same way Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side 3rd Story stole my heart on the 3DS. It’s so well-executed. Anyone who enjoys visual novels, even if they normally don’t go for ones that are dating sims, should give it a chance.
Despite having improvable sections such as the 3D designs and the way the rhythm part of the game has been incorporated into the plot, if you like Sui Ishida's designs and the theatrical setting, this is a visual novel you can't ignore.
I don’t think the backlog will ever let me see every suitor’s ending in Jack Jeanne, but the ones I did reach were worth the extreme amounts of effort I had to put in. And it's nice that we have a proof of concept for "replicating physical performance in a rhythm game" like I asked for last month. Still, hopefully there’s a nice long break before the next rhythm novel because I definitely need one.
EXQUISITE. By far one of the best games I’ve ever picked up. The plot was intriguing, the characters were all interesting in their own ways and the character development… oh the character development. It was fantastic. The amount of effort that went into this game paid off. The romance plots may feel like less to some but after really getting to know the characters, they feel right. The music is one of the best parts of this as well. Hold onto your seat for some of the semester performances— they had me in tears.

The creator of Tokyo Ghoul Sui Ishida did AMAZING work with this game.
This game has a gorgeous, unique art style, the rhythm music games're fun with multiple difficulties and remappable buttons and the songs are all total bops I can't get out of my head.
If you start a fresh save file every time you do a playthrough the random encounter events can be different from other playthroughs, making it feel less repetitive.
Oh and the characters and romances? All wonderful, the group dynamic of everyone is gorgeous and everyone is unique in their personality, reasons, and reveals on their individual routes.
I don't usually like stat raiser otomes, but this one's kept me going for 10 days, made myself sleep deprived numerous times, I've finished most every route already and am fiending for more. It's been worth every moment and lack of sleep.

This game is easily the best otome game released this year or possibly ever. The story is good enough to make you cry and the music is so catchy it’ll be stuck in your head for weeks. 10/10, obviously anyone rating otherwise *cough cough* have never even played and are just salty it got better reviews than a classic GameCube game

One of the best visual novels. Sui Ishidas artwork is absolutely beautiful, and he packed over 150 CGs into this game. The characters are interesting, the music is surprisingly beautiful. There's not a ton of romance, which can be a positive or negative depending on your tastes - I liked it, personally. The rhythm games are meh, but that's not what you're playing this for. If you like VNs, you'll probably like this game. If you don't like VNs, try something else instead of rating someone's hard work down.
