Ravager? I hardly know her. I'll see myself out.
Anytime I see a Corruption video, it's an instant watch.
Thank you for the feature ^_^ I love to explore this flavour! The "hard"er variants mentioned here, and enemies-to-lovers, and redemption arcs, exploring themes of addiction, people turning into deer, etc.
Corruption is what the government does with social engineering. Censorship is one tool for that purpose.
I know with Long Story Short there was a period where the DEV had to completely rebuild the engine for it. It was running on Unity originally and he wasn't very happy with it and he tried porting it to Ren'Py and that gave the player base more of the requested features, but he wasn't fond of working with it. So he just built his own engine and has been improving it ever since. He has confirmed he is trying to bring more updates more often moving forward.
Harem Hotel and Headmaster are both extremely fun and at the same time, as stated in the video, definitely never gonna finish, which is kinda sad.
you mean the third crisis neon nights is completely dream scene? is she in a matrix or something? i cannot imagine the size of third crisis neon nights. the first third crisis had paitho and the main sex city, and it was a big game. neon nights has paitho, the cartel, the purple mist and neon city, the size can be trice as large. renpy/unity games tend to become difficult to develop once they reach a certain size, i'd be sweating if i am the programmer.
20:36 EXACTLY 💯 its crazy that people that wont distinguish fact from fiction are the ones in leadership roles 🙄
When you mentioned that with a text or VN game you'd rather just read a book. I had the opposite experience when I read the 1st book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I was reading along and I just kept thinking that I'd rather play an RPG than read about what was basically an RPG in book form. I'd say that even a little bit of interactivity I get from playing VNs or Text based adventures makes it more fun that simply reading about it. I read a lot (about 50 books a year over the last 3 years) but I guess litRPG is not a genre I can get into because I'd simply rather play an RPG...even if it is basically a text experience that I interact with...than read about it.
Can't recommend Masters of Raana enough. The game is absolutely huge and tickles that old school RPG fancy all the while keeping its systems modern enough. It nails its atmosphere as well. Crazy what you can do with an HTML game. Not to mention how the updates keep raining, GrimDark is an absolute dev champ.
Our Red String is soooooooo good!!!
One of my favorite management/ corruption adult games is "Void Club" it also uses characters from multiple different franchises.
Demons Roots mentioned
i hope the rance games isn't affected by steam censorship.
I think corruption in games like Tales of Androgyny resonate with some people that are struggling to come to terms with things about themselves. Even if one is not a different orientation or identity, minimally I think it is useful to come to understand these different perspectives. Speaking from personal experience.
Harem Hotel is one of my favorite games. I do wish it didn't slow down so much on the spice the further you go into each character's story though...
Meanwhile the holy trinity, Ambrosia, Celesphonia and Enishia (of shimobashira workshop) is available just fine on Steam
Tut tut tut Starkiller was not a Mary Sue. He wasn't even a Gary Stu.
Love our red string. not normally into visual novels but this one got me.
Our Red String is GOATED among AVNs ^^
