The story is engaging, featuring character development and humorous interactions, particularly during confessions, which adds depth to the narrative. Players appreciate the rich expressions of the characters despite the absence of certain animations, and the exploration of themes like possessiveness adds an intriguing layer. Overall, the mix of mystery and romance keeps players invested, with many looking forward to additional content after completing the main story.
“The story is engaging, especially the moment when Okazaki realizes his feelings while confessing. It was interesting to see how much he cared about what the heroine said, and both characters being stubborn kept the dialogue lively.”
“I found the interactions during the confession scenes to be particularly humorous, especially Mineo's witty remarks. The character expressions, while lacking blinking and mouth movements, are still very expressive.”
“After completing the story, the reward images were incredibly cute, and I appreciated the depth of the characters' possessiveness, which added an unexpected layer to the narrative.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent flow, making it hard to stay engaged with the characters.”
“Despite the interesting premise, the plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real surprises.”
“The character development is shallow, leaving many of the protagonists feeling one-dimensional and unrelatable.”

Collar x Malice is one of the best otome visual novels I’ve played with lots of things to shake up the formula for the better but some typos in the text sour the experience.
