As with yaoi manga, the major market is assumed to be female in addition to BL games proper, many otome games have incidental homoerotic content. The defining factor is that both the playable character(s) and possible objects of affection are male ( BL stands for Boys' Love). BL games (also known as yaoi games) usually refer to H games oriented around homosexual couples, though they can be any male/male dating sim or visual novel.
