Oh here we go with yet another otome visual novel. You know, one of those romance games geared toward women where the protagonist is a beautiful girl who has at least four different guys to choose from. It’s almost like the Bachelorette, but with a decent script and better acting. The biggest problem with otome visual novels is that sometimes the storyline barely changes, no matter who you choose to spend your time with. Sure, you’ll learn the unique (often tragic) backstory for your true love, but the drama that unfolds typically runs the same path no matter what. Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Rainbows~ may be monotonous in some areas, but at least the player reads through a completely different experience each time. In some ways, this is a Choose Your Own Adventure in visual novel form done right. Forrest Gump of 19th Century UK
Our story unfolds with an amnesiac girl (didn’t see that coming) named Cardia who knows nothing of her life before she remembered waking up two years ago. Even more strangely, her body contains a horrible acidic poison that melts anything on contact. The British Royal Army was sent to pick her up for Twilight, Britain’s super secret double probation intelligence agency, for reasons unknown. However, they are quickly thwarted by the great gentleman thief, Arséne Lupin, who steals her away and promises to steal her heart in the process.
Well. Obviously we’ve found our first suitor.

As obvious as this is, and as much...
