Well just today I stumbled across a new otome game by Beemoov so I decided why not make a thread? It seems very new so unfortunately the site is in French only. If you have Chrome most the site can be translated in English. It's an in browser fantasy based otome with an rpg element added in.

Add me if you want. I'll be as clueless as you XD
When the English version is out I'll let ya'll know and I'll be active on that version.
I really do like everything. The plot is nice, the characters and art are great. It's not too hard to navigate but I have a feeling Eldarya will become more complex over time with more features to explore(that's a good thing!). You can choose 1 of 3 guards to join, depending on which one you choose that'll affect what missions you'll go on and which guy you'll be working with. Each week the guards are ranked depending on how many people are in each and how much experience they gained. The top players receive a special item. You can also get a little companion to help you on your journey, Familiars. They can help you gather materials and other things. The game will keep track of each character you've met's affinity and illustrations you've acquired. From what I can tell it looks like affinity isn't added in yet since everything is still at 0 for me and I've interacted plenty. What Familiars you have, objects, and places you've been are not added in just yet. There appears to be a user market but it's under maintenance. As far as I know the latest episode is Episode 4.
Now I will say what I'm not too fond of but hey, the game really is very new so things can change. When you start out you get 1000 maana. At first you may think they gave you a lot and it'll be a while before you'll need more. Maana is very important in the Eldarya world and it'll be used for pretty much everything. If you want to customize your avatar right off the bat, you will need to go to the shops and spend some of that maana. Maana is also used to buy things for your Familiar, and to move around in the world(10 maana per move). Once you complete the part in Episode 2 where you get your first Familiar, you can access the minigame section. So far you can play 3 games and you win experience for your guard and maana. You can play each one once every 6 hours. I hope the time limit is reduced since I really couldn't get much maana from it. I'm really bad at the games so far XD Also the illustrations, it uses the default avatar you start out with and seems like it'll remain that way which is a bit disappointing since on one of their other games, the illustrations fit your customized avatar. There is another currency, coins but they are premium currency.
I'll continue to update this first post when anything changes.
