"Role: Ghost Engages in: Lesbian sex" Well, I guess its not the first time I see that, but that only makes it slightly less weird... I've seen this game before, as even my yuri backlog is huge right now it's not something I feel like grabbing ASAP, but definitely will get to it at some point. There's never too many lesbian ghosts to read about.

And I feel like an old man every time I learn someone's age around here, want to switch? Happy Birthday @Dreamysyu! Edit: And Happy Birthday to our youngster elitist @Zalor (not sure how I've missed it earlier)!

It's a criminal offence?

It's too early for Steamspy stats to be of any use, in two-three months they might indicate something. I would interpret that 0:00 as "no data available".

Congrats on the milestone! You seem to be fresh over 1000 likes, so congrats on that too. So, how dark are you really, on a scale from 1 to 10, where 5 is an average Zedge?

If you ever try it out and like it you should enjoy most of Nami's games, they have a fairly similar feel to them. Witch Bell also have a similar vibe to it, putting stylization over detailed art and relying on fun dialogue.

You mean the last-last one of the last one in the main list.

Some time ago I've offered you a short list of stand-out Yuri Game Jam VNs - titles that went beyond what you normally can expect from the free game jam entries, presenting compelling stories and surprising aesthetic values. While that list included some of the most-appreciated western yurige, such as well-known Ebi-Hime titles, among hundreds of YGJ and NaNoRenO entries produced over the years you can find many more worthwhile VNs with f/f romance themes that never received similar recognition. Today, I'm presenting you a list of another 5 free OELVNs with yuri elements, along with some honourable mentions for games that I'm less comfortable recommending to everyone reading this post, but are still worth appreciating for some of their achievements. Every title will be listed with an appropriate link to download them on Itch.io - I hope you'll find them to your liking! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Butterfly Soup Brianna Lei's story about a group of lesbian teenagers has gathered a significant amount of mainstream attention thank to its unique subject matter (focusing on minority queer women and their experience) but is definitely more than just a piece of social commentary. It offers a well-written, charming story that tackles its main themes with a lot of subtlety and doesn't overstate the sexuality of characters, saying more about universal challenges of growing up than just minority issues. And while it definitely attempts to create a more realistic representation of homosexual relationships, straying away from the typical, idealized yuri romance, it's a fun and lighthearted read that should be appropriate for anyone not allergic to close-to-reality LGBT stories. Her Tears Were My Light Nami's allegoric love story about Space and Time is a simple, short game, that nonetheless managed to gather an impressive amount of praise from the readers, apparent, among other things, through its impressively high VNDB rating (7.54 average, 6.91 Bayesian). With beautiful visuals and high-quality writing, it's a really touching and surprisingly unpretentious read, appropriate not just for yuri fans, but rather everyone not afraid to shed a few tears. Disaster Log C Sofdelux's Disaster Log C is not in any way a traditional love story, but apart from some slight LGBT+ themes and wacky visuals it offers a highly amusing, unusual story about two drastically different and initially antagonistic individuals trying to survive through a cataclysm that threatens to destroy their world. Interesting characters and Nami's strong writing makes it a thoroughly enjoyable read, if you can get past the game's obvious eccentricities. Taarradhin Taarradhin is a fairly well-known NaNoRenO VN that only partially relies on yuri themes, but manages to stand out thanks to an appealing aesthetic, India-inspired stylization and a simple, but well-executed plot. It follows the story of Netqia, a young and naive daughter of a powerful noble in a country struck by catastrophic drought, who's unexpectedly presented with a gift of two beautiful slaves. While, just like other games on this list, Taarradhin is fairly short, it manages to create a setting unusual for VNs on a few different levels, a pretty well fleshed-out cast of characters and an interesting intrigue, that lets you connect to the main cast through multiple playthroughs and rewards you with a compelling "true" conclusion at the end of the road. Romance Detective 1 & 2 Quintessential work by Nami, the Romance Detective duology showcases both her characteristic artstyle and the casual, mostly-comedic storytelling typical for her VNs. While the second game was never truly finished, missing some art assets, the whole series is complete story-wise and offers a lot of fun for those looking for a light, cheerful read - although the sequel has its share of more sober, touching moments and should be compelling also for those looking for some actual romance and drama. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The honorable mentions go to the second Sofdelux title, Mermaid Splash, for a great aesthetic and atmosphere, despite rather predictable writing, Nami's Tunnel Vision for another minimalistic, heartwarming story that charms the player with its visual style, Toki Production's Princesses's Maid for a great protagonist and amusing romance, and finally npckc's Magical Witch Bell and Her Non-Magical Friends for great writing and the simple, but effective stylization. If you enjoy cute, cheerful stories, all these games are also worth your attention. And regardless of whether you decide to check them out, I hope you found this week's recommendations interesting. As always, all feedback will be deeply appreciated. Have a great week everyone!

I've started watching Flip Flappers and everything about that show is entrancing in a way... This includes music:

If it's an actual thing you've found yourself a first buyer. Looks cool in general, I like how different the heroes are. And coffeeshop as a theme for one of them... I like coffeeshops enough for it to be an actual factor. :3

I guess the bff is just a bff?

Well, that's simple. I'd be Yuna from Yurirei. For many, many reasons. :3

Hello and welcome to Fuwa! Don't worry about noob questions, this community wouldn't be worth much if we weren't ready to assist newbies. :3 BTW, your vndb link doesn't work, be sure to use the number in your userpage adress (like mine here: https://vndb.org/u134859), not the nick.

Shit, he's that young? Ekhm, Happy Birthday!

Welcome to Fuwa! I hope our little site can satisfy your translation cravings dispite any doubts that arose so far.

I can see that happening. The VN subreddits are not that noisy though, so they end up much less time-consuming than Fuwa so far. ^^ That's pretty much what I meant with "volatile" part, but TBH, it's such a huge, anonymous crowd on most subreddits that I'm less bothered by negativity then I would be in a place like here. :>

Confession: I never understood why people cared about Reddit that much. Until three days ago... Reddit is both scary/volatile and absolutely addicting.

Welcome to Fuwa! Oh, wait... Well... Nice to meet you, officially! I've always enjoyed your posts. They are... Very big!

Welcome, welcome! Feel encouraged to tell a bit about yourself and your history with VNs.

All best wishes to @Ryechu, who I don't really know because he doesn't post lately, but whatever.

Welcome to Fuwa! That Yurirei avatar. I approve.

So, this winter's Season of Fluff is ending and the spring Season of Sequels has begun! I have a bit of a problem with this one, as it mostly full of continuations of shows I haven't seen yet or ones I don't really care about anymore (looking at your HighschoolDxD...). So, what you guys are looking forward to?

^ Flying Witch's Japan. Because it's Japan, but without the downsides of the real one. < My pervasive headache tells me I'm a human after all. I envy you, bot. v Anyone knows a way to contact @Dreamysyu's creator?

The point is, someone really has to go out of his way to avoid Steam as a gamer. It's not important that it's avoidable, the point is that an average (western) gamer will also be a Steam user, with exceptions being pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Well, less than the coffee discussion between me and Mr Poltroon. And we're still on the general topic of Moenovel and Cross Channel. I don't think I have much to add from my previous posts on the topic, but I think one more problem with Steam reviews is lack of neutral option - if you rate a game as not-recommended, you reject it as not worth playing, not just criticize some aspects of it. Just as Poltroon said, most people will see translation quality as just one aspect of VN they read and give different weight to it - as long as they enjoy what they've got, they won't be bothered by the hypothetical product they could've received in a perfect world (that's how I often feel, especially because I don't like hentai and I'm happy with having access to all-ages versions that many people despise). Coming from their personal enjoyment, they won't bash the game just because it "could've been even better". And they especially won't try to convince others that it's not worth their time.
