Overall, Piofiore: Fated Memories is an essential for otome fans with one caveat. As you experience more of the story, the music part of the extras in particular is very well designed with its vinyl record aesthetic.

The soundtrack is full of catchy and upbeat tunes with others suited to the darker moments. Music and voice acting are very important in visual novels and Piofiore excels in both aspects. The extras menu here looks superb and it definitely makes it worth trying to unlock everything this story has to offer. The character designs are also very well done with some fantastic CGs.
Overall, this is definitely one of the prettiest visual novels out there. There are even great film reel animations during the story when. The menus and animations are excellent and they fit with the narrative perfectly. Otomate’s visual novels have top notch interfaces and character designs but Piofiore has easily exceeded Collar X Malice which was my favorite of the developer’s work so far. Just be warned that the bad endings pull no punches. It does take effort and time though to unlock everything but it is worth it. You will work for the best endings and it will be worth it here. Don’t expect to just use a guide and see the true ending of the game and move on in Piofiore. Structurally, to see the finale you will need to have experienced the best of the main character endings. I was a bit concerned about how the localization would be given the setting and the use of Italian words and phrases, but it is very well done barring a few typos. The in-game glossary helps a lot as well here. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself looking up some of the food item names online. Given the setting, Piofiore makes generous use of Italian words and phrases not just in the story (with explanations), but also in the interface. She doesn’t just exist to fall in love with potential bachelors. Lili also isn’t some stupid girl but is actually a well written character, despite her upbringing and the setting. What makes the story in Piofiore: Fated Memories stand out is that the setting and characters gel perfectly to create a mafia experience unlike anything out there. She obviously comes into contact with all sorts of people and you will only get the full picture after seeing through different routes and their endings here. She finds herself caught in the middle of turf wars between the mafia. Lili was raised in a church in the Italian town of Burlone. Piofiore follows Liliana Adornato and is set in the early 1900s in Italy. Just like Collar X Malice Unlimited, Piofiore: Fated Memories on Nintendo Switch will be the first time this otome visual novel from Otomate sees an English release. Thankfully, Piofiore has delivered in spades across the board and has become one of my favorite otome games. With the premise and aesthetic being great, I was hoping the characters and story would deliver on the same level. This month, Piofiore: Fated Memories arrived on Nintendo Switch and I’ve been playing it over the last few weeks across its varied story routes and multiple endings. Over the months, we saw Aksys bring over classics like Code: Realize and Collar X Malice before its first new localization arrived in the form of Collar X Malice Unlimited. Let’s get to work!
