A good title signals the genre and mood at a glance, is easy to search, and survives being shortened. The most successful ones either use a single evocative image (a season, a place, a weather word) or state the premise outright in a long light-novel sentence. Avoid generic fantasy words like Destiny or Chronicles that thousands of other games already use.

The semicolon comes from 5pb. and Nitroplus's Science Adventure series (Chaos;Head, Steins;Gate, Robotics;Notes) and now reads as shorthand for sci-fi conspiracy stories. The slash comes from Type-Moon's Fate/stay night and its sequels. Both are borrowed punctuation that make a title look like a file name or a code fragment; use them only if your game fits that techno-mystery register.

Yes. The list includes romcom titles with club names and exclamation marks for dating sims, courtly titles for otome games, and hook-style sentence titles for isekai romance. The titles here are original, but always search VNDB and Steam to make sure nobody has published a game under the same name since.

Only if the setting is Japanese and you can romanise it consistently. An English-developed game set in a Japanese high school can carry a romaji title with an English subtitle, but a title like Hanagumori on its own is hard for most players to spell or remember. If in doubt, use English for the main title and keep the Japanese word as a subtitle or logo element.
