Is Collar x Malice still worth playing in 2026?
An otome visual novel from Otomate, Collar x Malice places the heroine, a young policewoman fitted with a poisoned collar, at the heart of a Tokyo under the grip of a criminal organisation, which she unravels alongside five investigators. The blend of thriller, investigation and romance, carried by constant tension and solid writing, makes it one of the console's otome peaks. The multiple routes and the striking choices support replayability. For a fan of otome or suspenseful crime tales, the title keeps a perfectly preserved intensity, maturity and charm.
