->''“It seemed like the start of something new. Something that would change.” ''

Seduce Me is an OEL VisualNovel made by [[https://www.facebook.com/pages/Seraphim-Entertainment/497366060320407 Seraphim Entertainment]], released for the PC in February 2015. After funding a successful Kickstarter, the game was released for free online and can be found [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1730112593/seduce-me-an-otome-visual-novel/posts/1135720 here]]. It was also greenlit for a Steam release.

18 year old [[HelloInsertNameHere Mika Anderson]] is the granddaughter of the CEO of the famous toy company, Anderson's Toys. After her grandfather passes away, she inherits his mansion, which her father decides to move her into right away. Upon arrival, she encounters five unconscious men -- actually incubi -- who have broken into her house to seek shelter from a group of devils. As they have nowhere else to go, Mika allows the incubi to stay with her in the mansion and in exchange they do the housework while preparing to take the misfits on again so they can leave.

The production company, Seraphim Entertainment, runs a [[http://seraphimentertainment.tumblr.com/ Tumblr Account]]. In addition to the game, the franchise includes an original music CD, up to five playable epilogues, and a drama CD, which is a non-interactive WhatIf story that shows the reader what life would have been like [[spoiler: if the player character didn't end up with any of the boys after Malix's defeat and they still ended up staying with her in the mansion]].

In late 2015, Seraphim Entertainment announced that they were going into production of a sequel-- ''Seduce Me 2: The Demon War'', which details the incubi coming back to their world and the eponymous war, a rebellion against the Demon Lord, happening during their return. The sequel game released in 2016.

!!Tropes:
* AbstractEater: The brothers don't necessarily need sex for energy. Demons of Lilith (succubi and incubi) can take it from simple hand-holding or kissing: anything that might be remotely sexual. Also, in the Sam's case specifically he can feed off of rage energy too. For example, if Mika had not given into that ForcefulKiss from Sam at the beginning and simply got mad at him, he would have just fed off of her anger towards him instead.
** Sam's ability to feed off Mika's rage, had she not been affected by the enthrallment, is due to him (and the rest of the brothers) being [[spoiler: half brute-demon]]. It affects Sam more strongly than the others.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The boys sort of have to be this way, since they're trying to lay low in the human world while they recover from the beating they received earlier in the game.
* AltumVidetur: All of the demon's spells are in Latin. [[spoiler: The "Angel's Password" is a subversion, being in plain English.]]
* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler: Damien, after the events of his good ending.]] However, [[invoked]]WordOfGod states that [[spoiler: though his magic has been taken away, [[BroughtDownToNormal all that's happened is that he became powerless.]]]]
* BadassGrandpa: [[spoiler: Mika's grandfather, as revealed later on in the story. In addition to building up his own toy company, he studied magic over the course of his life.]]
* BalancedHarem: A reverse-harem version.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor
* BiTheWay: Mika, the protagonist, as her romantic options are split between six boys and three girls, [[spoiler: one of which is another demon like the five main love interests]].
** EveryoneIsBi: Demons of Lilith are this as well, as they don't much care for gender when it comes down to romance or feeding. [[spoiler: Diana]] is implied to have taken energy from the AlphaBitch in the first game, and can end up with Mika in the first game or the very male [[spoiler: Saero]] in the second.
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Malix]], at least for the first game. [[spoiler: The Demon Lord, also known as the five brothers' father,]] is this for the second game.
* BigFancyHouse: The Anderson Mansion, originally belonging to Mika's grandfather but now granted to her as part of his will.
* BodyguardCrush: In ''The Demon War'', Saero, the bodyguard of the rebellion leader, is deeply in love with his superior [[spoiler: Diana]].
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: And a handful of pretty girls as well.
* CelibateHeroine: At least two routes have her end up with none of her options. The ''Just Another Day'' CD also does this, as the boys still live in her house but do not court her.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: If you romance Suzu or Naomi.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Each of the incubi brothers is associated with a certain color. James is gold or bronze. Erik is red or pink. Sam is green. Matthew is light blue. Damien is black or white. Diana also follows this trope and is purple.
* ComboPlatterPowers: Each of the incubi has a unique secondary ability that seldom has anything to do with being incubi:
** DreamWeaver: Erik's ability.
** {{Hammerspace}}: Matthew's ability. He can create anything or take out anything from his pockets.
** SuperIntelligence: James' ability.
** SuperStrength: Sam has this, as he's the strongest physical combatant out of the five brothers.
*** There's also his SuperSpeed on top of that.
** {{Telepathy}}: Damien has this, although it's more of a BlessedWithSuck ability as he can't shut it off or on when he wants to.
* CuttingOffTheBranches: ''The Demon War'' effectively makes the routes with Suzu, Naomi, Andrew, and [[spoiler: Diana]] moot, since it is the romance with one of the five brothers that allows the player character to join them in the Demon World.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening songs for the games, "Chained the Monster" and "Flames Inside", are composed by Erik's voice provider Christopher Escalante.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Mika and Matthew.
* [[FirstGirlWins First Guy Wins]]: Sam, if the player chooses to pursue his route. According to WordOfGod, this is also true for the rest of the series looking forward.
* ForcefulKiss: Sam does this to Mika at the beginning of the game in order to demonstrate his energy draining abilities.
* GayOption: Suzu, Naomi, and [[spoiler: Diana]] for Mika.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: The heroine's two friends, Naomi and Suzu, are this towards the heroine. Who you side with the most affects the later parts of the game.
* HaremGenre: Or rather, reverse-harem with a female central character. It's one of the major appeals for the game, as English-language otome games rarely play into that fantasy. It's downplayed on the non-romantic routes, or the routes for anyone who isn't one of the five main incubi.
* HelloInsertNameHere: The default name is "Mika Anderson," but the first name can be changed to anything the player wants. There's even a Steam achievement for doing so.
* HornyDevils: A variation. See OurDemonsAreDifferent.
* InterspeciesRomance: By default, since the main love interests are incubi [[spoiler: and one succubus.]]
* MarriageBeforeRomance: [[spoiler: This is James to Diana. He doesn't love her at all, and she's only marrying him for power.]]
* MarryThemAll: One of the playable epilogues has Mika obtaining all five incubi at the end.
* MixedAncestry: Mika, as revealed after the game's initial release. She's biracial, with one parent having Japanese descent and the other being Caucasian.
* OneTrueLove: In ''The Demon War'', it turns out that [[spoiler: Saero's is Diana, and vice versa]]. In most routes however [[StarcrossedLovers they won't be able to get together]], but if you play your cards right they can for one of them.
* OrderVersusChaos: The two human female romantic routes, pitting the orderly Naomi against the chaotic Suzu. If you choose to pursue a non-romantic route, the Lawful/Chaotic ending depends on which friend you've sided with more often over the course of the game.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Though they are incubi, and they ''do'' feed off of sexual energy, the five incubi [[spoiler:(and the succubus, more than likely)]] also feed off of general feelings of pleasure such as happiness. Even so much as touching the subject of their affections can give them energy.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: All of the main incubi are gender-flipped examples of this trope [[spoiler:and eventually become Husband examples.]] The most extreme of them are [[spoiler:James and Sam. Diana's guard Saero is another gender-flipped example, a rather extreme one at that.]]
* RelationshipUpgrade: As of the second game, [[spoiler:Mika is engaged to whoever's path she chose.]]
* RomanceGame: Of the Otome variety.
* SexyDiscretionShot: If Mika decides to have sex with the characters, at any rate. There will be some hot and heavy action going on, but the VN cuts to black before the two parties get really frisky.
* SiblingRivalry: Sam and Matthew always seem to be at each others' throats. [[spoiler:Matthew also has a one-sided rivalry with James.]]
* StoryBranchFavoritism: The narrative seems to prefer Sam to the rest of the brothers, as most canon alternate routes have Mika encountering Sam first, and the True Ending of the second game is followed up on in his good endings.
* SweetTooth: Matthew, the resident master pastry chef.
* ThemedHarem: Mika is romanced by five [[HornyDevils incubi]].
* ThemeTuneCameo: Mika's ringtone is the game's opening song.
* {{Tsundere}}: Sam. Lampshaded to hell and back over the course of the story.
* UnexpectedInheritance: She finds out that she gets her grandfather's entire BigFancyHouse and the inheritance to his company mere ''hours'' after the funeral.
* UrbanFantasy
* {{Yandere}}: For Seduce Me 2, in Diana's bad ending, [[spoiler:Saero is revealed to be this for Diana]]
* YearOutsideHourInside: Apparently, time flows differently in the demon world from the human world. One year in the human world would equal five years in the demon world, and vice versa.
