Koisuru Scramble: The Otome
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Petals fly around... bit by bit in a beautiful dance in this new semester at Yumenosaki-Cho Academy... Thinking it'd be just your average first day in going back to school...
WHO'D THINK YOU'D BUMP INTO THE POPULAR 4 IN A 6-WAY INTERSECTION?!
________________________________
Welcome to Koisuru Scramble: The Otome!!
This dedicated fangame is based off of Ensemble Stars' April Fools story, Love Scramble!
People who aren't fans of Ensemble:Stars but are interested in playing this: Do not worry, and here's why!:
To live up to the reimagining of this story, all characters are completely different than the canonical characters. The only things that are similar are adjacent/parallel personalities that qualify as their own characters!
____________________________________
Synopsis:
Enter (???) Koino, who kept having weird visions of some new thing happening to her life while being late on her first day at Yumenosaki-Cho! While on her way, she takes a shortcut towards the infamous 6-way intersection. Bumping into 4 beautiful mysterious guys, it's up to you to choose her route and future love story!
_______________________________
This game is a demo right now. But don't let this steer you away because:
This demo holds the first 2 chapters of each route!
Each route holds their own completely different story that focuses on the main qualities of each future contender for your affection! There's twists, turns, ways to get to know the characters and journey, and with multiple bad ends too! (WHAT?!)
This game so far includes:
- 4 main routes to choose from
- 12 detailed cg illustrations (3 in each route)
- Many mini illustrations scattered around
- Secondary characters to meet and get to know
- Point system quality to try to win over certain affection for the route of your choosing
- An album gallery that shows CG/Transitions you unlocked!
- awkward grammar and stupid dialogue! gotta love that for a fun time!
Full Release Coming Winter 2025

just finished playing all available routes a while ago and aah im really looking forward to the full ver!! i fell for miki despite being a natsumeP 😭 all the CG scenes are making my heart flutter and I cant wait for the drama in the stories especially eiki 🥺
OMG MIKIIII <3 That's so fun bc having new interest in the other guy's story really makes it more exciting to get through! We're doing our best w the full game that we're so happy you enjoyed what was offered in the demo, this means so much! ;o;
I love this demo so much!! I've only finished Konatsu's route so far but I just started Miki's and I'm definitely going to do them all. I don't produce any of the male leads (I'm a KnightsP) but I'm enjoying myself anyway :))) The art is GORGEOUS and the dialogue is so silly. So excited for the full game!!
TYSM FOR PLAYING THE DEMO and I hope u had fun with all the routes too!! This means so much that you gave it a try and we're doing our best over the full game!! :3
Loving the demo so much! Haven't yet done all the routes but I did Konatsu with my sister and we loved how devilish he was lmao first day was crazy. Then I forced some friends to watch me play Eiki's route and we had an absolute blast voicing all the characters and laughed so much. Love how much you lean into the silliness, makes it so much more fun!
Airi my beloved though she's so cute oml
OMG KONATSYYY he's usually a first pick but rightfully and i'm so glad you gave it a shot, even sharing with a sibling and friends too!! we're so glad you like the writing so far since voicing VNs w buddies is so fun like YIPPEEE!! it means a lot for the comment, it definitely makes us more motivated to keep working on the final coming soon!! ;o;
AIRI SHIRAIIII THE BEST FRIEND EVERRRR <333
Hey! Just wanted to say, I love this demo so far and am looking forward to seeing the full release! When I first saw this through a video on my page I immediately clicked on the itch link and downloaded. And I love how this is based on the April Fools event LOL. The only critique I have would be I think the dialogue could be a little more refined but other than that its great. I LOVE the art, its actually so good, I love how stylish it is compared to your regular otome/visual novel, it gives the game such a cozy vibe and the cgs are so pretty. With the sparkles and the warm colours. It really fits the game well. I'm not a Madara P but that last Mahiro cg goes hard. The routes themselves are really good as well, they all showcase the character and their personalities well and they each feel different from each other!. Eiki's route was definitely the hardest route to get all the cgs for, but was it was so satisfying when I figured it out. I made a short guide on how to get all the cgs and endings, if you don't mind I'd like to post the guide up for other players, but if you'd prefer I didn't all good. Keep up the good work! I'm excited to play through the full game!
OMG Thank you so much for giving the time of day to enjoy this story!! ;o; The critique does mean a lot since there was a whole wanting to add a little "quirkiness" of bouncy dialogue, but it does get out of line that for the final game to be a bit more cohesive in reading! TYSMMM all 4 of them have such fun adventures in their respected focuses so it's fun you got to try them all AAAAA, with the final game approaching in a few months this does make us really delighted to hear!! And with the Eiki route, it'd be fun if you ever wanted to do a guide when the full game is out, since let's just say this School Prince might have more of a fight to getting closer to him...HAHA :3
i have not moved on from konatsu HELP ME!!!!! still looking forward to the full game uwahh..
KONATSUUUU THE SILLY CUTE KOUHAIII UEUEUE TYSM FOR PLAYING THE GAME!! we're working hard for this full release so we hope you stay tuned!!

Omg I just have to make an account to leave a comment on this. Thank you SO MUCH for creating this fan-game!!! I actually translated Koisuru Scramble as it was something that appealed to me so much as a HajimeP (and a Hajime harem enthusiast) and I always wished that me translating the story will open up possibilities of fanworks being made out of it in the EN side of the fandom. I can't believe I'm actually playing a demo of the April Fools story that I adore so much so I can't thank everyone involved in this enough 🥹 I haven't finished going through the demo routes yet, but the art, the writing, and the obvious care you guys have put in this project is just SO overflowing. I am so emotional. I have dreamed of times like this. Thank you so much for making THE dream koisuku fan work ever. I am looking forward to getting all the CGs and for when you guys release the full version! Fantastic fan game 100000/10
THIS WAS SUCH A SURPRISE IT'S LIKE MEETING A CELEBRITY YOUR TRANSLATIONS DESERVE SO MUCH LOVE <33 Honestly with how fast you were with those and how much love and depth they added in the april fools (like so much homescreen dialogue) it really gave us so much ideas. YOU'RE SO RIGHT KOISUKU IS SO GOOD (Hajime Harem is so based!!) and how much of a cute love letter the whole event was towards the shoujo genre. THANK YOU SO MUCH in investing your time on our demo, we're going to do our best for the full game soon with how much editing and fix-up we've done thus far!! <3 ;o;)//
THIS IS SO AWESOMEEE also may i ask if you have any socials,,, i need to follow you i fear
Hello there thank you so much for investing your time in this demo!! :D Most credits of people behind this game are in the about section but most of the art direction was by Madakunn (tumblr)!! :3
the art is so stinking cute!
THANK YOU SO MUCH The art really tried to put life into the whole story tysm for playing!! <3
um i may sound stupid but how do u run this on linux T_T i don't really know how to use linux that well and all the results i've gotten on google are super confusing, i really wish to play this because i lovee koisuru scramble, tysm!! :3c
NOOO YOU'RE NOT STUPID AT ALL </3 Linux is a little weird with ren'py and I did a little digging and it said that "unpack the tarball, change into the renpy-<version> directory, and then run renpy.sh" !! I can't exactly do much after that but I hope this works, and I think the ren'py website might have better advice for you! I do hope you enjoy :D
ok tysmmm! i've been busy but i will try and play soon im so excited ^_^
just playing it made my cry knowing no one will actually love me irl
NOOOOOOOO I'M SO SURE SOMEDAY SOON YOU'LL HAVE SOMEONEEE NEVER GIVE UP </3

YAYAYAYAYAY !!
this game is sooo cute! do u have a twitter or anything like that? i rlly love the art so i'd love to see more of it!
Hello there and tysm for playing what we have so far and all!! The main art direction is madakunn (tumblr only) if that's the case as the about section has all other contributing artists so far! Thank you!! :D
UWAAHS SGF THIS IS SO AMAZING AND CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH AAAA SHOUJO CUTENESS ATTAACCCKKK >:D
this game was killer oh lordie the art's so pretty and i totally fell in love with all of the side characters www rin amajiki... forever in my heart when she doesnt even have a design
eiki's route was really frustrated WWW i had to start making notes on which options to choose and i lovelovelove how many pitfalls (literally and figuratively) are scattered around
seriously looking forward to the full version !! getting every cg was rlly fun and im honestly hooked on the story
YAYYY the secondary cast was very fun to build over to try to worm a better gateway for future lore-mini world building to make the school feel more "full", i'm so happy you enjoyed them!! <3
EIKI'S ROUTE IS SUCH A TOUGHIE I'm so glad for this demo it caused a riveting fight but hopefully the pattern goes down since the full game they all will have more decisions to decide for the whole silly shoujo story! tysm for taking the time to play this and will do best to soon have it done!! :3
i have no idea what to do everytime i attempt to open the game it does this
Ohvmy gosh this is so strange especially since ive had MAC playtesters before!! I think full deleting/reinstall and restarting might help a bit! I recall renpy messes up a little so a new download can maybe do something! Sorry if I can't do much!! 🥹💔
ive tried to reinstall twice but ill try again! its really weird because on my first run it worked just fine??? i could play the game and everything though when i opened it back up its been like this
Thats actually really odd D: i think its also because of being a non-company personal published the MAC ends up running it differently and all i hope it fixes up soon and later updates I'll try to make contact with the engine about it too so this feedback we'll keep in mind!!
update! i kept restarting the game and my computer and eventually i tried just clearing my mac up entirely (deleting screenshots or whatever is on my home) and once i did a restart and plugged out my mac it ended up working! i just cant full screen or really change the size of the window or. itll just glitch up as shown in the screenshot
THAT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR THAT AT LEAST ITS PLAYABLE NOW WHEW omg but i'm so sorry there's a few faulty areas... rip full screen but at least no scary glitch </3
WAA THIS IS SO CUTE<333 i couldnt get eiki's last 2 cgs but i got every other one and theyre super cute!!! ^.^
THANK U SO MUCH FOR PLAYING THIS MAKES US SO HAPPY!! I hope working through all options will let u unlock his heart too but I'm so glad you enjoyed what the other 3 offer!! They're such cutie patooties omg ;o;
🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
OH MY GOSH A VIDEO!? :O I did not expect this playthrough but thank you so much for wanting to check out a route of this game this is so cute, we're so happy!! <3
OMG THIS GAME IS SO GOOD T_TT the art is so cuteee pls
but OMGG am i just dumb how am i not doing Eiki's route correctly TT_TTT i only got like 1 CG of him plss can someone help- waa
ME TOO I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.... I was only able to get the first CG and I've tried every combination of the other choices and still can't seem to get the other CGs ....
OMG you guys are really sweet thank you so much for having the time playing!!🥺🥺🥺 I cant exactly spoil about Eiki but he's the certified hard route so im sure youll be able to do it!! I will say he does need an exact amt if affection points for both times and theres options that can lose you points too!!
NO WAY i did get the feeling he was the hard route 😭 anyways thnx for the info i will try my besttt 🫡🫡
konatsu route made me giggle and kick my feet i hate him. i have now changed my natsume cruise homescreen to one of his cgs. he is my OPP
UWAHHH to think one of the cgs is now homescreen makes me so happy too THANK U SO MUCH FOR PLAYING THE DEMO WE'RE SO HONOURED. konyatsu is toooo cute...
THIS IS AMAZING THE ART IS SO CUTE I CANT STOP TWEAKING OVER MADARA HES SO CUTE
THANK U SO MUCH FOR CHECKING THIS OUT UEEUEUE!! the whole thing was so fun to work on im so glad u loved Mahiro!! HES SUCH A SILLY SENIOR... <33
ohhh this is so much fun already!!! i lost it when the event happened in enstars and this is just. ?!?!???!?!?! cant wait for any future updates
RIGHT?! the event itself was cuteness and fun overload that im so happy u like the reimagining fan version too!! ;; i cant wait to continue future updates soon tysm for trying it out!! :3
That is sooooooo cute!!!
OMG THANK U SOOO MUCH AA ;;;; <3
I'm frankly stunned at how polished this is for a game based off an april fools joke, but oh my god? It's really good? I kept liveblogging this to my friends because I couldn't get over it? I LOVE the art style and I love that it's very silly, what a delightful little game. I'll look forward to if/when you add more content!!
THANK U SO MUCH OH MY GOD?! that literally made my night to read!! ;-; it was so fun because the april fools just gave a concept that spoke to me that I had to work on something instantly and was able to share a peek of it!! i hope you'll be there when I do future fix ups and also an update with a full story in future! TYSM for taking the time on this demo!! ;o;
I'll absolutely be there!!! As soon as I hear this updates I'll be there downloading it, don't you worry!
