2 | 0 WELCOME 0 | #00 | Hello there! Before you go any further, double-click on this panel to get explanations on how to use the list and also some other stuff like the meaning of my "scores" and more... other than that, feel free to bookmark this page (I try to update it frequently) and enjoy! WARNING: THIS LIST IS NOT MADE FOR VIEWING IN PHONES (it will look like shit), desktop only, sorry in advance! -Recently added: The Missing Part, Rated 19. -Revisions/updates: Double-click to read more ▼ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── A quick intro: Hi there, I created this recommendations list mainly for new players looking to get into this whole AVN thing, so keep that in mind if you are more of a "veteran" gooner I mean player. The main or default view of this list doesn't represent my personal tastes, I've tried to curate a top 100 list with the AVNs I've found are the most interesting, or well made, or that have a lot of potential moving forward, or a combination of all of the above, but I'm also trying to have a good amount of variety, because my hope is that both new players and veterans alike might discover something they could potentially enjoy... so don't expect to like every single AVN listed in the top 100, obviously, but I can at least guarantee that they're worth a look for one reason or another (read my thoughts on each game to get a better idea, if you want). You'll also notice there are waaaay more than just a 100 AVNs listed in here, and well, that's because I also use it as my personal tracker, but I figured I might as well put everything in here so that if someone was looking for completed games, for example, well they could see all the ones I've played/tried and maybe something will grab their attention. Lastly, if you have some time, please read the text below to get a bit more info about the list itself and how it works and all that jazz... Okay that's it, thanks bye! ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ***I've made some format/info changes, I'll list them so you're aware of them: ► I've started adding 2D/hand-drawn AVNs to the list... I will however not add any AI slop (unless there's a stand-out one, but it'll be an exception, at most), oh and I mean the "generative AI" CG ones, I don't have an issue with creators using AI filters or other assistance tools. ► In the text panels (the F column) you'll now find: The name of the game, the version I played in parenthesis next to it (that's mainly for my own benefit) and then a small blurb with my comments on each game. Once you double-click on each panel you'll see a synopsis, a list of places where the game is available, and then some additional comments whenever I have more to say about a game, which won't always be the case. ► I've recently added/changed some tags in the columns above (J to Z), be sure to check the info below to see what they are and mean. Hopefully these are more useful to quickly find something you're looking for. Remember you can further filter things. ►Oh also, a new development: You'll probably notice some completed games have a yellow asterisk, and that is due to what I think is a new trend in the AVN "genre" where devs are just tagging their games as "completed", when they are not... so instead of splitting their games by seasons, they're just splitting them by "sequels" now, because apparently consumers are all fucking idiots and we can't notice the bullshit from a mile away? I don't know, it's a worrisome trend and let's hope it doesn't continue... it's fucking stupid. Point being: If you see an asterisk in the completed tag, make sure to double click on the info panel, I usually try to explain the situation with those games, sometimes it's a "sequel" situation, but I'll also use it to note stuff like remakes and whatever else might need noting. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── How to order/filter the list of games: I designed this spreadsheet so you can order things in various ways to find something quicker by using the columns (from left to right): -NAME: Use this column to organize by name. -STATUS: Use this to organize by status, i.e. "completed", "abandoned", etc... Types & kinks: -2D: Use this to view all games with 2D/hand-drawn visuals... no AI slop!!! -ANI (anime): Use this to view all games with anime/manga-style visuals (HS1, HS2, KOI games). Remember all of these are FREE TO PLAY. -N-L (non-linear): Use this to view all games with non linear and/or "sandbox" elements (free-roams excluded). -FP: Use this to view all First Person Perspective games (also referred to as "POV"). -F/F: Use this to view all games with either female or futa MCs. -HA (harem): Use this to view all harem games. -IN (incest): Use this to view all games with any form of incest. -SH (sharing): Use this to view all games with "sharing" and/or other NTR types (see below for more info). Genres: -S-L (slice of life): Use this to view all slice of life games. -SS (school setting): Use this to view all school/college setting games. -FA (fantasy): Use this to view all fantasy games. -S-F (science fiction): Use this to view all sci-fi games. -AC (action): Use this to view all action-oriented games. -MY (mystery): Use this to view all games with prominent mystery/suspense elements. -HO (horror): Use this to view all games with prominent horror/survival elements. -CO (comedy): Use this to view all comedic games (games that have A LOT of humor, not just a few jokes here and there). Extras: -STEAM ICON: Use this to view all AVNs available on Steam... d'uh. -SC (score): Explained below. To order any column, right-click on the corresponding letter and click on "sort sheet A to Z" (use Z to A for the Score column). To further filter the list, once you sort a column, a small arrow will appear below the letters of every column, click there and uncheck the "NO" option to only see the games in the chosen category, or uncheck "YES" to hide that category. You can combine filters from various columns to do targetted searches by checking or uncheking the options in various columns, like only showing completed fantasy harem AVNs, for example. I recommend using a 75% zoom and the "Full screen" option in the "View" menu... and you can always press F11 for an even fuller screen. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Regarding the star system: The star system is meant to be interpreted as a general overview of what the game offers and NOT as a scoring system. Obviously, though I try to be as objective as possible, it's simply impossible to give an accurate value to things in this way... suffice to say, I give an amount of stars depending on my overall "gut feeling" about the game (I have my own internal metrics for determining that, but it would take me too long to explain), and again, do not take it as a judgement, but rather an impression... it's not an exact science. However, even though I don't like doing it, I'm also including a "number score" so that people can sort things by "score". Just take into account that this score is just an aggregate number value (out of 10) derived from the star system, so it's not very precise or representative of its respective game, because, for example, it's unfair to games that have no music or no animations, which is something that might matter more or less to different players. That said, if you're looking for a "best of" kind of list, you might as well sort the list by score (Z to A), it should give you a generally accurate idea, since like I said, I do try to be as objective as possible with the stars. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Regarding the tags: They should be pretty self-explanatory, but just so we're clear: -NON-LINEAR means games where you choose your next action/activity/scene and you progress the story at your own pace. These do not include games with only free-roams or other limited sandbox elements/mini-games (like BaDIK) that are otherwise linear. -SHARING does not include normie stuff like harem orgies or threesomes, but it does include NTR types, swinging and all that jazz, so get more info on the game if you need to... and remember, sharing is caring <3 -FPP means First Person Perspective (also referred to as "POV" in some places): meaning those games where you don't see the MC's body/face much or at all. -FMC means Female Main Character. -FUTA means you play a futa MC... I don't usually note other trans or futa characters with the tag unless it's the MC. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── LASTLY: You can save this list as a PDF if you'd rather consult it that way, go to FILE > DOWNLOAD > PDF (I recommend right-clicking on the "D" letter above this panel and sorting "Z to A" to send both info panels to the bottom, and then download the PDF). | * | * | * 2D / HAND-DRAWN ► | * ANIME VISUAL STYLE ► | * NON-LINEAR / SANDBOX ► | * FIRST PERSON PERSPECTIVE ► | * FEMALE / FUTA MC ► | * HAREM ► | * INCEST ► | * SHARING ► | * SLICE OF LIFE ► | * SCHOOL SETTING ► | * FANTASY ► | * SCIENCE FICTION ► | * ACTION ► | * MYSTERY / SUSPENSE ► | * HORROR / SURVIVAL ► | * COMEDY ► | * AVAILABLE ON STEAM ► | * SCORE (SORT Z to A) ► | ||||||
3 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #01 |  | BEING A DIK (0.11.1) ───────────────────────── Currently the best AVN on the market. It's not the best at any one thing in particular besides the music, but it does everything exceedingly well. It has a lot of replayability value with its massive branching and a whole lot of content. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: A young man from a low-income family moves away from his widowed father and his summer love to attend college at Burgmeister & Royce. As he is cast into freshman life and persuaded to join the up-and-coming fraternity Delta Iota Kappa, he'll be exposed to a new world filled with conflicts, alcohol, drugs and sex. Available on: Patreon / Steam / GOG ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 3 is currently in development. Why is this game number one? Well, if you've played it you probably know why already, but if you haven't, I'll try to keep it short: This is pretty much the "fullest package" you can find when it comes to AVNs, or the closest you'll get to a proper game, so to speak. It has most of what you can expect to find in this genre of games and much more, this is basically the most feature-rich AVN out there. From a truly mind-boggling amount of branching, which means that even the most seemingly insignificant choice can have an impact down the road (in this game, choices DO matter). To a pretty healthy amount of content, full of humor, drama and a big cast of well written, well developed and fully fleshed-out characters with whom you can interact. Plus a whole bunch of (optional) mini-games - though to be fair, some are quite annoying and pointless, but some others are quite intricate and more fun, and they also have an impact on the story - that in the end all provide an extra layer of entertainment to be found in here. Oh and worth noting that you won't encounter any bugs or issues, which is rather impressive in and of itself, considering the sheer amount of coding that goes into the game. The story itself is rather on the generic side of things, borrowing heavily from the stereotypical formula of "college comedies" in the vein of American Pie and the likes, but with an additional layer of soap opera drama. However, where the game shines is in the character and dialogue writting, this AVN goes very deep when it comes to its characters and they all feel, maybe not "real", but like fully fleshed people you can get invested in. The overall production quality is also quite good. No, it doesn't have the best renders or the best animations in the genre (though I have to point out that it has A LOT of lewd content), far from it, but it does a more than adequate job and the visual story telling is very solid too. The overall presentation of the game is also top-notch, from the UI elements to all the mini-game designs, it's (mostly) all clear and easy to understand, except for a few of the earlier free roams. Last thing I want to touch on is the music. This is the best AVN when it comes to both quantity and quality of the music. The dev is very good at choosing the right songs for the right moments in order to enhance the emotional impact of a scene, really improving the overall experience of the game. So yeah, this game is just MASSIVE in every sense of the word and there just aren't many other AVNs that can even compete with it. Some will have better stories or visuals, but this one kinda has everything, even though you might not necessarily like the whole "college" theme. Now, as for the negatives with this title: Well, it's simple really, it takes waaay too long to develop. At this point each new update is taking a full year and it will only increase from here on out. Additionally, the dev is extremely stubborn and insists on the game being a one-man show, when he could easily hire some people to help out (given the game has sold literal millions by this point), plus he also happens to be extremely self-indulgent, which is a bad combination. He really needs someone to tell him "no, don't do this, this is stupid", like with his newest stupid idea of making 60fps animations... there's absolutely no point to it. But oh well, that's how it is and we are stuck with extremely long waiting periods. Ego is a bitch... but hey, at least the dude delivers. | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 9.2 | ||||||
4 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #02 |  | PALE CARNATIONS (Ch.4 Update 5) ───────────────────────── Some of the best writing in the genre with a more mature flavor. The visual side is also of impeccable quality, with some of the hottest animated sex scenes you'll see in an AVN. That said, some of the themes in the game might be a turn-off for a lot of players. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: In Pale Carnations, step into the shoes of a tightly wound pre-med student pulled head first into a world of debauchery thanks to the influence of a waning childhood friend. As the newest employee at the Carnation Club, navigate your part in a series of cruel erotic games and sexual encounters. Will you give into your sadistic urges and be enticed by the club's wealth and hedonism? Or perhaps at the end of it all, a flower of romance will bud, pushing you to leave the brothel’s sordid business behind. Features a variety of intersecting storylines that sees you guide the performance of three women desperately competing for the brothel’s grand prize, uncover backroom dealings steeped in intrigue, and maneuver the day-to-day social life of a man ill at ease with his basest impulses. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Let's get our first content warning of the day out of the way... yes, the game features some potentially objectionable themes and kinks due to the nature of the story itself, so you'll see a good amount of BDSM- adjacent and (arguably) pretty rough humilation content. But, and that's a big fat butt, don't let that stop you from at least trying this game out. Let me explain... the premise of the story is as follows: a small group of "down on their luck" women participate in a sordid contest run by a sadistic lady working for a shady gentlemen's club, and the MC is hired to help run the contest, which allows the player a certain degree of freedom to either be a nice guy or an asshole. Trust me though, it sounds worse than it is. Yes, there are a couple of pretty gross scenes, not gonna lie, but on the flipside I can guarantee none of it is (too) gratuitous... like I mentioned above, the game has arguably some of the best writing in the genre that allows it to deftly navigate the line between morality and depravity, which is what this game is ultimately about, and it succeeds far better than most other AVNs that attempt to do the same. But besides the more objectionable happenings within the confines of the club, you'll also find a cast of fully fleshed-out characters with a lot of depth and layers, and yes, there's also plenty of "wholesomeness" in there as well, you just need to give the game a chance to show that side of the story and you'll be rewarded for your troubles (unless you act like a fucking dickbag, of course... dealer's choice). So yeah, the writing is really good and the rest of the package doesn't fuck around either, from the crisp visuals, great visual storytelling and insanely hot and steamy sex scenes, to a pretty large amount of content and a pristine overall presentation, the game boasts some of the best quality the genre has to offer. Let me put it this way: if Being a DIK wasn't a thing, this game would easily be at the top of the AVN mountain... it's that good... and if that doesn't somehow convince you, then I don't know what else I could say. Oh wait, there is something else to say: like every other Honey Select game, it's free to play... so no excuses, just give it a go. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | 9.2 | ||||||
5 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #03 |  | ETERNUM (0.7) ───────────────────────── This one is a huge fan-favorite AVN with top- notch production values, great visuals and animations. It has lots of humor and likeable characters and an intriguing plot... however the story can lose focus at times and feel a bit side-questy. Top tier Honey Select game. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You’re moving with your best friend to the city of Kredon, home to some of the best schools and universities in the country, to continue your studies. However, in Kredon, there’s only one thing everyone talks about: ETERNUM—the virtual, hyper-reality MMORPG game released a few years ago that revolutionized the world of technology. With a neural implant that recreates the five senses, it becomes impossible to distinguish between the game and the real world. Thousands of servers form the network of Eternum: from colorful, magic-filled fantasy worlds to foggy sci-fi cities, no world is beyond reach. Nevertheless, looking beyond the surface, there's a darker side to this pretty facade: black markets, torture, rape, illegal content trafficking, unlawful assemblies, data theft… Eternum follows the rules of no man. For some reason, governments turn a blind eye to this; there’s no regulation and no control. Some say it’s because the game is highly addictive, some say it’s because the market moves millions of dollars daily, some say those in power have been bribed, and others say… there’s something else going on. And you? What’s your role in this story? Well... That’s up to you now. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / SubscribeStar ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Full transparency, I actually don't like this game, the writing and the plot are waaay too juvenile for my liking and there's nothing here that I haven't seen before done better. However, this ain't about me or my tastes and this game is objectively really high quality. In fact, despite me not liking it, I always check every new update, because I admire how good the game is in a technical level and I always look forward to seeing what the dev does next. Which is to say the game has pretty much good everything. Visuals are always impressive and the dev keeps improving with every new update. The animations, which are rather weak in the first chunk of the game have also gotten a HUGE improvement, it's night and day. And in terms of music and sound effects, the game also does more than a good job. The choice of story is quite clever, because it allows both for the dev to make use of pretty much every asset out there, but also for the story to explore multiple different worlds, keeping things continually fresh and interesting for players. That said, therein lies the biggest flaw of the game, because at times the story feels like it's spinning in place, just going from one side quest to the next without much progression. I'm sure it won't be as much of a problem if you end up falling in love with the characters and spending time with them, regardless of what's happening with the plot... that was sadly not my case, but I'm sure a lot of people will endear themselves to the large cast of likeable and fun (and smoking hot!) characters. Needless to say, it's not surprising that so many people think this is the best AVN, yes, even above Being a DIK. I don't agree, but I can certainly see the argument for it. Either way, it truly is one of the best, and as is the case with all Honey Select games, it's also free to play. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | 8.8 | ||||||
6 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #04 |  | DESERT STALKER (0.18.3) ───────────────────────── Some of the best world-building in a familiar but exciting post-apocalyptic setting (kind of a cross between GOT, Mad Max and Fallout). Good visuals and animations (good sound editing too), full of action scenes, interesting characters and plenty of sex content. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: It has been many years since the End of Days. Old civilizations collapsed, and new ones are slowly arising in what is now an arid wasteland somewhere in Egypt. Desert Stalker puts the player in the shoes of the titular MC, a citizen of Zeta, as he interacts with various people that are trying to find their place in this new world. Throughout the game you will meet girls and their tribes, slaves and their Queens, and whether you are taking a romantic or dominant approach, your actions may decide more than just their fates. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Oh this game definitely merits a good old content warning, both for the sexual content, but also for the sheer graphic violence the game offers, though it's worth noting that you can toggle off the more violent stuff. (And a quick warning about "sharing", for the NTR cry-baby crowd!) This is another game where the player can decide if they want to act in a more vile or more honorable way, but make no mistake, the world this story takes place in is abso-fuckin'-lutely brutal and there's no real way to avoid that much. Like I mentioned, this game borrows from several post-apocalyptic tales in order to expertly weave a very interesting and lore-rich world, filled with many different types of people and creatures you'll get to interact with, within a sprawling plot full of political machinations and mysteries from the past that will take you for a literal ride all over the sandy wasteland of a post-apocalyptic Egypt that has reverted to a retrograded tribalistic hellscape where the worst human impulses have been set loose. It's no wonder then that you'll encounter some really disturbing shit in this game, but it all makes sense within the context of the story, and it rarely feels like things happen just for the sake of cheap thrills and titillation. Still though, if you're into "wholesome" romatic vanilla games, you might want to skip this one. As for the rest, the visuals and animations are pretty good - although the character designs are a bit on the cartoony side of things, it almost feels like post-apocalyptic Aladdin at times, which sounds kinda fuckin' awesome, not gonna lie - and the music and sound design are very well crafted to help create an eerie and unsettling mood. Lastly, a quick rant: I've seen this game frequently recommended as the "ultimate maledom" AVN and for people looking for a giga-chad MC, and I have to disagree... I mean, sure, there are some elements of that, but curiously or ironically enough (and probably because it is an AVN), what passes for a "society" in this game is actually a matriarchy of sorts, where women act as rulers and leaders more often than not. Even within the confines of the MC's household, the wife serves as a matriarch to the family, and feels more like a partner-in-crime, rather than just a cum-dumpster without any shred of agency. In fact, most female characters are rather well written (with some exceptions) and you will even be able to take control of one of the MC's daughters as she embarks on an adventure of her own (also optional). My point being that people who think this is just an incel's wet dream of sexual domination might actually be missing a huge part of the story that is presented in here... it's hella more nuanced than that. So if you feel like you're up for some visceral excitement, give this one a shot and just toggle off some of the more brutal elements if you're not into that sort of thing, no one will judge you... probably =P | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | 8.8 | ||||||
7 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #05 |  | RACE OF LIFE (Ep.3.2) ───────────────────────── Right, so I'm pulling the trigger and adding it to the top 10. The game's just extremely well made in every single regard and everything is executed to almost perfection. Definitely one of the best new comers, if not the best, in recent memory. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Meet Jake, a 30-something divorcee rebuilding his life. He’s smart, attractive and confident, and he knows it. Meet smoking hot women, participate in illegal street races, win money, and achieve your goal! Have fun guiding Jake's life and choose the best path (and the sexiest woman) possible. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Well this is a pretty vanilla slice of life game, so it doesn't really need a content warning, and I don't have much else to say about it other than repeating what I said above: This game has a good story, very well written characters, great visuals and animations, and even a fun non-intrusive mini-game mechanic that is directly tied to the plot, and not just some gimmicky add-on to extend playtime. So yeah, this is a good example of how "good execution" looks like in an AVN... and even though it might still be too early in its development cycle, I'm just pulling the trigger on placing this in the top 10, since this is probably gonna end up being one of the best AVN projects in the future. Anyways, check it out if you haven't, you might not necessarily enjoy the premise or even the story, but it's very likely you'll find something to enjoy, and at the very least you'll be greeted with something of top notch quality. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 8.8 | ||||||
8 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #06 |  | CITY OF BROKEN DREAMERS ───────────────────────── This one is a bit dry in terms of story and writing, the character development feels a bit like an afterthought. However, the production quality is through the fuckin' roof, with great visuals, incredible animations and a very professional overall presentation. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Los Angeles, 2042. A city ruled by corporations. A city ruled by the elite. A city that exemplifies the best and worst of the American Dream. Millions live their lives in almost blissful ignorance of the excesses of the rich, or the degradation of the poor. Executives hold more power than politicians, the police hold less power than corporate mercenaries. You are one of those mercenaries, one of the best, and elite tier called Ghosts... but you haven't taken a job in months. That is about to change. Elsewhere in the city, a young girl is about to become the center of a conflict that could tear the city apart. As you track her down you'll have allies and enemies, others like you who have been used by the city and spit out. Who will you trust? Who can you afford to? Each of them has their own dreams, their own motivations, each is broken in their own way. All of it will come together... In the City of Broken Dreamers Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Just a light warning for some BDSM content, nothing too extreme. This is one of the most plot-oriented AVNs, the story is what is at the forefront here, which could be an issue if you don't like the futuristic/ cyberpunk themes or the more "noir" style of the writing. I found it dry, particularly at the start of it, and I had a hard time getting invested in the plot, but at some point it fortunately takes off. Using a mostly first person perspective (or POV) for this one probably didn't help with the issue, since it's hard to get invested in the story of some faceless main character you can't really relate to. Besides that, like I said above, the weakest part of this game is in the relationships department, with most of the LIs (outside of the main two) feeling more like background characters you could easily excise from the plot without any consequence. What makes this game stand out far above its peers, though, is the insanely high production quality. The renders are simply gorgeous, and the game has this rather unique neon light-like visual style with lots of saturation and vibrant colors. The animations are also top notch, plus there are a lot of non-lewd animated action sequences that really spice up the game and prevent the plot from feeling too sluggish. The rest of the overall presentation is very professional as well... it looks and feels like a proper game, which is always appreciated. It's kinda crazy to think that when this game started coming out, in 2019 if I'm not mistaken, it was one of the best looking AVNs, and now that it's finished in 2024, it still is one of the best in the genre... that's nothing to scoff at, all things considered. So yeah, just in terms of sheer quality, this is one of the very best in the genre and that is why it's in the top 10 recommendations, specially now that it's been fully finished. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 8.6 | ||||||
9 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #07 |  | PROJEKT: PASSION (0.14) ───────────────────────── This one is a fun comedic space adventure with really high production quality, specially the animations, there are lots of fun action cut-scenes with decent VA parts. The story is not particularly deep, but it has its emotional moments too. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Earth has long since been abandoned, and what remains of humanity is now spread out across the galaxy. So what happened at Earth? That part of history has long since been lost to obscurity. But what do you care? You have your own problems to deal with. You've just survived an assassination attempt at the cost of your apartment. Sounds like any other day of the week, right? Right, only this time your partner has mysteriously vanished as well, and it's your duty to find out where she went! Word of warning: the answer may lead to... bigger adventures than you'd planned for. Better pack an extra lunch. Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 3 is currently in development. This game has a somewhat cartoony visual style that might not be to everyone's liking (mostly the faces). Other than that, I honestly don't have much to say about it, but don't take that as a reflection on the quality of the game, it's just that it's a pretty vanilla and straight forward AVN and I basically covered most of it with what I wrote above. It's just a very solid AVN with one full season under its belt and from a developer who has a good track record (same dev as the fully finished After the Inferno). UPDATE: So I played the whole of Season 2, since I was waiting for it to be done before revisiting, and well, the good news is that it's still going strong. The visuals have improved a bit, but they were already very good so you might not even notice it. Playing this again reminded me of how similar it is to Eternum, in fact, one could say this is the DAZ Eternum... and for better or worse they share a lot of good things and not so good things. I have to admit that I was feeling the plot stray a bit too far from its main narrative, to the point where it started to feel a bit too side-quest-y, much like Eternum. Fortunately though, I find this game a lot less juvenile and so I could enjoy it more, but I do wish the devs will start getting on with it at a better pace next season. But anyways, that's just personal preference... the main take away is that the game is still going strong, and let's hope it keeps it up. | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 8.4 | ||||||
10 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #08 |  | HAVING A HARD TIME (0.5.0) ───────────────────────── A newer title with great overall quality and a surprisingly intriguing and well thought-out story (given the premise) full of witty humor, some heavy drama, well written dialogues, and a cast of fun and charming characters. This is quickly becoming a must play AVN. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You're a sophomore at Wentford University, majoring in Chemistry alongside your life-long best friend. You've been living a fairly normal and carefree life until one day an after class science experiment turns into a freak accident, changing your life as you know it. How will you deal with the cards that life has dealt you? How do you respond to these newfound difficulties? And how will your relationships with those around you change from now on? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ba-, no wait, on the next episode of Having a HARD Time! Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: First things first, a content warning for the obvious fact that you play as a lesbian futa MC, plus there is also some sharing in there and it's quite possible it'll get crazier in the future, given the context and the tone of the game. There is also some pretty dark content in this game (more about it below). Besides that, I guess the simplest way to explain this game is: this is basically BaDIK-lite where you play as futa Jill, and I mean that in the best possible way. It's a comedic AVN, so you can expect a lot of absurdity and silliness, even though it's not as bonkers as other comedy AVNs in this list, but the premise alone should tell you what type of story it's gonna be. That said, don't be fooled by all the silly humor and witty banter, this game has a lot of quite dark and emotional plot threads that deal with abuse, depression, suicide and those types of things...but the game is able to expertly blend the comedic elements with the more dramatic scenes and manages to create a balanced and compelling narrative (it's pretty similar to The Deluca Family in that regard). So, even though it's a newer game, it's been hitting all the right notes needed to become a must play. Of course, we'll need to see how it all shakes up in the future, but needless to say, it's one of the best AVNs with a (somewhat) female MC and it's already very much deserving of a high recommendation. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 8.4 | ||||||
11 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #09 |  | OUR RED STRING (Ch.13.3.6) ───────────────────────── A slice of life AVN with dual (m&f) MCs and a massive amount of branching where you'll be able to befriend, romance or corrupt a large cast of well written characters. The writing is solid and the art is pretty and consistent... the animations are a bit lacking, though. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Lena and Ian are two very different people who find themselves in a very similar moment in their lives. Both struggling to achieve their dreams, both hurting because of love. Their lives will become intertwined, with each other and with several characters that will impact who they are and who they will become. They will be able to experience the heights of love or the depths of lust, friendship or betrayal, moral or immoral, success or failure... And you will be the one to choose. But one's choices can often tangle together and lead to an unexpected mess, so be mindful, for you thread the thread of their Red String. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: This game is often cited as one of the best AVNs in developlment, and it's not hard to see why... just the sheer amount of branching makes for a lot of replayability and you'll probably gonna want to explore the many different paths and relationships you can get in here... you can play it vanilla and romantic, sleep around and cheat like crazy, share the love with your friends, and much more... there's A LOT of different outcomes to explore in this game. Oh, speaking of which, your obligatory content warning for the afore- mentioned sharing, cheating, etc content... it's all avoidable of course, but NTR haters beware!!! As for the protagonists, you are forced to play both of them, so if you refuse to play as a female character, well, you might want to skip this one (and possibly seek professional help). Anyways... As with most (all?) other 2D/hand-drawn games, this game uses "sprites" or cut-out characters, but it has a fair amount of the more traditional cinematic panels, and the sex scenes have a decent amout of dedicated art to them, which is nice... the animations are very basic, they're very low fps, instead of the more fluid ones you might find in some other games or most 3D games, but they're honestly fine as is, the sex scenes do their job more than well enough. The writing is quite good, the characters are both well written and well fleshed out, with a decent amount of variety in terms of personalities and looks, plus they're a lot less tropey than what you find in most other AVNs, for what it's worth. This is a slice of life/relationship-sim game, so the plot itself is pretty whatever... it's not really the focus of the game. The audio is good enough, although due to the length of the game it can become repetitive pretty quickly... oh and there are some minor volume issues here and there with some moans being way higher than others, so be aware of that if you're trying to be a bit more discreet. Other than that, listen... this is a pretty long game with a shitload of branching and replayability value, and a pretty high overall quality... there's a lot to like in here and it's easy to see why it is considered an AVN staple (specially when it comes to the 2D ones). Last thing to note is that, as you can probably guess by the pseudonym, this is another female dev AND this game has a female main character, so this game, much like Intertwined just below, also brings a nice dose of diversity (and variety) both to this list and to the AVN genre at large. It is always nice to also have female voices working in the porn space, I find they can bring a more unique perspective to well trodden ground. | IN DEVELOPMENT | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 6.8 | ||||||
12 | 1 MUST PLAY 1 | #10 |  | INTERTWINED (0.14.1) ───────────────────────── This is basically a CW teen drama show in AVN format, like a good old soap opera. It's lacking in technical aspects, but the writing is very good, the visual storytelling is great, it has a lot of branching and a lot of well developed characters and relationships. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: The story centers around you, a 19-year-old man who returns to his hometown after living with his dad for the past 5 years. Discover what you left behind. Rekindle old friendships, start new relationships. Find out how all of them are "Intertwined"! Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: A lot of people have asked me why I put this game so high on my list, when it's readily apparent that the overall quality isn't as good as many other games with a better score, and I suppose it's a fair question, so let me take this opportunity to remind people this is first and foremost a recommendation list, not an actual "objective" quality rating list*. And there are enough reasons to recommend this game more than a lot of other "better" games, starting with the fact that the developer of this AVN is a woman, and while she's not the only female dev in the genre, there are certainly not a lot of them (to my knowledge). Of course, just having boobs isn't a seal of quality guarantee, but the dev is a very good writer, and particularly good when it comes to the visual storytelling side of things, with an eye for very appealing framing angles, lighting, and great character expression and reaction shots. When you couple that with the style of story this game offers, alongside a wide variety of well written and likeable characters with their unique personality traits and quirks (the game also has a lot of pretty realistic latino characters, which is pretty nice), plus very organic and natural sounding dialogues, this AVN ends up feeling like it has its own unique identity and style. The other reason to recommend the game is that it already has A LOT of content under its belt, and it has a pretty fair amount of branching too, which of course increases its replay value. The downsides all come from a more technical aspect, with the game using some older models and having repetitive and bloated animations, plus a notable lack of music and a weak overall persentation. That said, the dev makes it all work by overcoming those shortcomings with her storytelling skills, so it never feels like you're playing a low quality AVN. Obviously, none of that guarantees you will like the soap-opera aspects of the story, and like I mentioned above, it really feels like one of those CW-style teen drama shows in the vein of Riverdale and the likes (it's also very reminiscent of latin american "telenovelas"), with a lot of silly teenage drama and (quite often) ridiculous mysteries, cliffhangers and plot twists that will make your eyes roll all the way to the back of your skull... but hey, listen, that IS part of the soap-opera experience, so it's pretty accurate and faithful in that regard =P So yeah, this just feels more unique than the vast majority of AVNs that tend to borrow more from the manga/anime genre. Plus it's actually a pretty popular game, which is also a good enough reason to try it. *You can always sort the list by "score" if that's what you want to see. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | 6.2 | ||||||
13 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #11 |  | RIPPLES (0.7) ───────────────────────── School meets time travel (very similar to the TV show Dark). Really good overall quality with a decent story, likeable characters and good writing... the animations are REALLY good in the later half of the game, big quality improvement. One of the best HS offerings. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Ripples is a sci-fi visual novel that centers around an 18-year-old in his last year of high school. He reunites with his good friend Darci and sets off to school like any other day, but as the day goes on, he learns new information about his deceased father that has him questioning the truth about his death. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / SubscribeStar ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I'm giving this a spot in the top 15 just because of how much it has improved (and continues to do so), and also its update schedule, since it shows no signs of slowing down or getting abandoned... consistency and hard work need to be highlighted sometimes. Also, worth noting this AVN doesn't relly as much on all the incredibly tired anime tropes that plague most Honey Select games, which makes it stand out from its peers... it's not just another anime wannabe Besides that, not much to say, really... it's an intriguing premise full of mystery and time travel shenanigans, along a rather large cast of fun characters. Hopefully this game won't fall into the same trappings of similar games with a lot of LIs where the story completely grinds to a halt in order to accomodate such a large cast... for the time being, it's been able to juggle everything quite well, so here is hoping. To this day I still don't know if it's supposed to be harem or not, or if there is intended incest or not, the dev has been obnoxiously vague about it, so I guess we'll need to see how it pans out in those regards... and that's pretty much it. Give it a try, it's certainly worth your time. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | 8.2 | ||||||
14 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #12 |  | ARTEMIS (0.6) ───────────────────────── A very popular AVN with an ultra high overall production quality (with a caveat) and an amazing visual presentation. The writing is definitely the star: an entertaining story with great characters & relationship development full of organic and fun dialogues. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You were on your way to living a lush life as a gifted software engineer, working for the most prestigious tech giant until the last person you thought would betray you took it all away. After three years of recovering from the emotional trauma, you are ready to stand back on your feet and re-enter the world in pursuit of a functional life. Your newfound resilience is put to the test as you are hit with several unfortunate events. But not all is unfortunate as you rekindle an old friendship that has a proposition that leaves you hesitant. Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 2 is currently in development. Just a quick word about that "caveat" I mentioned above, because I do think it's somewhat relevant to the discussion: I'm referring to the poor quality of the renders in the roughly first and a half chapters or so... I am aware of the dev's sight issues, and in fact, I think it's a pretty unprofessional move to put a disclaimer for that at the start of the game, because here's the thing: as a fellow human being, I can very much empathize and feel for the guy, but as a player, and more importantly, as a customer, the reality of the matter is I just don't give a shit, and not because I'm heartless or callous, but because the only thing that I, and by extention we, the players, should be interested in is the product, or in this case the game itself, and every "dev" should be painfully aware of that notion. Enough of my rant tho... the point is that the game has some truly bad renders at the start of the game which the dev hasn't bothered to fix, or for the most part that is, since he did remake the very first scene. I think it's rather unfortunate that he decided to sell it on Steam as is... I still remember the first time I played the game and I was greeted with his amazing UI presentation, only to be incredibly let down by the visual quality that followed when I started a new game... I felt like I was lied to and that's not something you want your players to feel. Of course, as it often happens, the visual quality improves eventually and the game tends to look very good for the most part. There still are some really ugly looking renders later in the story, specifically during the halloween party, so I'm not really sure what's going on with the dev's sight situation, but it's a shame the game is so uneven. At any rate, I'm happy to report that those issues aside, this is still a top tier game with a high quality production value, and like I mentioned above, the dev is pretty good at writing dialogues, even though the pace of the story isn't the best at times. Very solid character development and an interesting enough story as well to round up the package. The one aspect where the game kind of fails is with the sex scenes... Honestly, there are not a lot of them (the game has a slow-burn pace), and the quality is not great either. Some of them are well animated, (the newer ones), but they are pretty short and lackluster... they feel more like they were wedged in because of a required porn quota. Warts and all, this is very much a must play AVN, despite my personal gripes with the visuals... truly one of the best in the genre. UPDATE: I bumped this down from the top 10 for several reasons, but mainly because this game was MIA for all of 2024, and that's never a good sign... still, for the moment, all the above comments remain true and let's hope the game gets back on track sooner rather than later. The game was finally updated after more than a year, and while the update was pretty chunky and of the expected high quality, it still needs to be seen whether the length of the last update cycle was an anomaly or an indication for the future of the game... hopefully it's the former. | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 8.8 | ||||||
15 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #13 |  | CHASING SUNSETS ───────────────────────── High overall quality. The premise is kind of intriguing, but the story is utlimately dull. The game focuses more on the relationships between the main characters who, to be fair, are well developed. It is a very popular AVN and it is almost fully finished. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Chasing Sunsets follows the story of step-siblings reconnecting and dealing with the fallout of their parents' unexpected deaths. As the story progresses, they will cooperate (or compete) with each other to discover the secrets of their parents' success in business and in love. The player's choices will determine both how the game ends, and whom he finishes it with. Explore majestic Tonalu Island and the motivations of the tempting ladies encountered along the way...But don't lose sight of what you're there for! Available on: Patreon / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: The game has been finally fully completed (07/25), so I took the time to replay it fully in order to give it a final rating, and also, here are my final thoughts about it: Chasing Sunsets is a step-cest slice of life with a plot about corporate espionage/intrigue, but the main attraction without a doubt is the relationship building with the two main love interests... the story feels more like merely a background plot device for the characters to exist in. The writing is technically fine, and it does a decent job with the banter between the charactersnot... However the game tries to hide its shortcomings with a lot of awkward humor and a shit ton of references and more than a few absolutely useless and pointless cameos, but it's only a band-aid solution. Like I said above, the game is more interested in the relationships between the main characters, and in fact, the secondary characters don't receive nearly the same amount of attention, which makes them feel forced into the story for the sake of plot convenience... in fact, some people might be disappointed by the lack of closure with those secondary characters. In terms of visulas, the game is really good looking and as, is often the case with AVNs, the visuals will improve as you play along. As for the animations, however, that's another story, since, while they're mostly fine, I've got to say that there just aren't a lot of them, and surprisingly enough, the very last chapter has absolutely none, and it's kind of a bummer to end the game like that, it makes the game feel like it's ending in a lower note, but the overall quality is pretty good, so there's that, at least. All that said, this is a very popular AVN and it features one of the most popular and fan favorite characters in the genre, Jaye, and in fact, you might have already met her in other games, since she tends to have her own cameos everywhere too (don't get me started on that whole cameo thing, though, or we'll be here all week). I don't know, I feel like this game is carried by the popularity of the characters rather than by its strengths, and I don't say that as a bad thing necessarily, because I also think it's worth playing precisely because of that. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 7.8 | ||||||
16 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #14 |  | OUT OF TOUCH (3.58 - ch.52) ───────────────────────── Massive story full of character development and adventure. Amazing visual storytelling with beautiful art, but only a few animations, and not a lot of sex scenes either. Give it a try if you're into weird ass metaphysical stories with psychedellic visuals =P Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Out of Touch is a captivating story of friendship, trauma, and healing. At its heart is our hero CJ, who reunites with his childhood friends after years apart for their final semesters of high school. Unbeknownst to them, ancient entities, unfathomably old and with inscrutable motives, lurk in the shadows and threaten to take control of the group and their latent powers. CJ and his friends are thrust into a fight for their lives in which old friendships are rekindled, new bonds are forged, and emotions (and hormones) run high. As they battle cosmic forces beyond their comprehension, each must undergo a journey of self-discovery that forces them to question even their very humanity. Yet their bonds of love prove stronger still, and with the power of an awesome synthwave soundtrack and freaky psychedelic group sex they find they can confront any foe. Will they emerge victorious, or is humanity doomed to destruction and servitude? Join the group on their journey as they navigate the perilous path of young adulthood, fighting to banish the darkness while balancing their own desires and emotions. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / SubscribeStar ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Just a quick heads up about the fact this isn't a RenPy game, it's made in Unity, but it works mostly like a RenPy game, so it shouldn't be an issue (saves are stored somewhere else though, so be careful with your backups). Also, let me reiterate: this is a "story first" type of AVN, therefore you won't find a lot of sex scenes in here... or rather, there are quite a few of those, but the game is soooo loooong that it will feel very devoid of lewd content. Additionally, the dev has started adding animations to the earlier sex scenes, but there aren't many of those yet, and I'm not sure if there are plans for more or not... let's hope there are. This is a Koi game, so it looks extremely anime-like (more than the more common HS games), but the dev is really good at the visual story telling side of things and he manages to capture the "weirdness" of the story pretty well. The music is pretty neat too, albeit it will get a bit repeptitive because of the sheer length of the game. It also has partial VA for a few characters during certain scenes (not sure if more VA is planned or not either). In terms of the story, listen I'm gonna be blunt, this is not gonna be for everyone... it's a VERY long story - perhaps even excessively so, to the point where it can get a bit repetitive - full of high concepts that can be difficult to grasp or even follow, but I can tell you it's one of the most original and unique AVNs you'll find out there and honestly, it's one of the rare few AVNs I'd actually play/read without the boobies, because it's a really neat epic saga of a story... If you're not into anime/manga, it's possible you won't like it at all, but hey, give it a try, since much like any other HS games, KK/Koi games are also technically free to play. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | 7.4 | ||||||
17 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #15 |  | SEVEN REALMS, THE (R3 v1.02 Steam) ───────────────────────── This is a story about a vampire chad and his harem full of hot babes... it's more fantasy adventure than proper horror though, but the story is actually pretty good, full of political intrigue and machinations. The visual quality from Season 2 and onwards is spectacular. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You have tried to maintain a semblance of peace throughout the Realm for four hundred years. Since the queen's death and a great apathy seized the king, it fell to you, the prince of the vampires, to restore order. So when you smell an unfamiliar scent that should not have been amongst a party of humans, you investigate and meet Leyala. She seems to be hiding something, and by trying to undercover what, you start a chain of events that will cause you to venture across all Seven Realms. The Seven Realms is a fantasy, story-driven, adult visual novel. As the heir of one of the most powerful Realms, your choices will determine the fate of the world. Will you be a strong ruler or a fair one? Will you inspire fear in your subordinates or let them see you as weak? The choices are yours. Along your journey, there will be over 23 women you can experience romantic encounters with (content is avoidable or skippable if desired). Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 3 is currently in development. The main plot of the 3rd Season/Realm is finished (there are still "side stories" to be released though) so I reckoned it was time for a revisit... There are a few things I would like to note in here but I don't want to be all over the place so I'll go point by point: Stoy and writing: Let's start here, this is more of a "traditional" fantasy adventure with vampires (not really a horror story) and the plot is quite good with a decent amount of political intrigue and a pretty good cast of characters. Season 3 felt a bit too side quest-y to me, if I'm being honest, and I'm a bit worried the same will bew true for the next ones, but we'll see. The writing is generally speaking fine, albeit not the best written AVN out there, from a stylistical point of view, just good. Visuals and animations: Okay this is where it gets a bit messy, because I'm sure you noticed the very high score I gave it for both visuals and animations, but I have to warn any potential new players about the fact that Season 1's visuals and animations are more in the "average" range, and it is only when you reach season 2 and onwards where you will see a HUGE jump in quality... particularly for the animations... That said, at this point two thirds of the game look amazing at this point and it's unlikely the next seasons will look worse, so I decided to omit the early quality from the score... just be aware that you won't be too impressed with the quality when starting from Season 1, but be patient, the improvement is worth the wait. Audio: Now, when it comes to the audio side of things, I'm gonna be blunt, it kinda sucks... S1 and S2 have a very small amount of music tracks that keep repeating, and you'll probably end up muting the game. S3 adds a few more tracks and more importantly some SFX both during the sex scenes and also during some story beats... but I have to say, the quality of the music is honestly a detriment to this otherwise very high quality game... hopefully the dev will address this issue at some point. Other than that, it's a pretty vanilla game, so no need for any sort of content warning... there used to be a small incest component to the game, but it's been long removed and forgotten about... not a huge deal in the grand scheme. And that's pretty much it... give this game a try if you're looking for some truly amazing lewd animations... or if you like high fantasy plots and/or vampire shit too I guess =P | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 8 | ||||||
18 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #16 |  | HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE (0.4) ───────────────────────── The game still has some translation issues, but nothing major (it could really use more proofreading tho). Besides that, the story is interesting, the characters are nice and well written, it has some optional kinks, and the overall production quality is really high. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You take on the role of a young man who is living an ordinary life. He works at a retail store and spends most of his nights playing video games to escape his monotonous reality. Life did not bless him, nor was it fair to him, but that all changed the moment people around the globe start receiving mysterious game disks.

I really hope the game will receive further proofreading, because this game could easily be in the top 10 - just because of its quality alone - were it not for the seemingly unescapable mistranslation issues a lot of these AVNs suffer from. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | 8 | ||||||
19 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #17 |  | GAME OF HEARTS ───────────────────────── This game could be a Top 10 contender were it not for the bad translations (they are decent enough to follow the plot)... Amazing visuals and animations, good music and a fairly good story. The lewd scenes feature a mini-game system that allows for different outcomes. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: The next successor war dawns on Earth. A seat at the high table, once governed by a powerful demon, went vacant for unknown reasons.With a chance at a position of control, other lesser demons roused from their respective places, each with an aspiration of reaching the apex of power. But you, an outsider, knew nothing about it. A rude awakening haunted your place in the form of an armed assailant, and you'd be dead if it wasn't due to a man who called himself your father. Thrown into a different life, you must gather power from gaining loyal followers, (mainly) women beguiled by your irresistible demonic charm. Seduce and corrupt your way into a stable life. And then, maybe, just maybe, you might rise to the top. Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: So the game has been "completed" out of the blue (march 2025), but to be honest, it's more like the first season has been completed... however, it seems the game will continue in a hard sequel with a new title (House of Hearts, I believe?), therefore I will treat it as its own separate thing. So what's the final veredict? Well, I'd say pretty good overall. Like I said above, the game mostly suffers from bad translations, which definitely hurt the overall experience... they're not so bad that you can't follow the plot... but the game could certainly use a proper translation. To that point, and before I move on, I'll note here that there is a fan made but "dev approved" grammar fix patch, if the dialogues are giving you too much grief. Other than that main issue, the game could've also used a few more improvements, particularly on the UI side of things, to make the mini- games clearer and more intuitive. As it is, you'll probably figure it out with a bit of trial-and-error, so it's not a huge deal. Speaking of which, one of the things that sets this AVN appart is those mini-games: The game allows you to take a more direct control during the sex scenes that will result in different outcomes depending on your "performance". It's both a good thing and a bad thing if you ask me, because it makes the experience more immersive but it also makes it a chore to just revisit the scenes for a quick wank... In the end though, I thought it was a neat idea, and it's at least something different in a very... let's say "unoriginal" field. Beyond that, I thought the story was interesting enough, nothing mind- blowing by any stretch, but it was a good set up for what the game has in mind... which is to say, it all tracks. The characters are mostly well well written and interesting enough to get invested in the plot (the dev has an obvious preference for milfs). Where the game really shines is in the visual side of things: it has some REALLY beautiful renders and animations. The dev uses a very striking high contrast/saturation lighting style that gives every frame of this game a unique artistic feel to it. The dev is also pretty good at creating sensual and passionate sex scenes that perfectly fit the "mood" of the visual style and the tone of the story, and the music, while not amazing or memorable, does a good job of complementing that same mood of the scenes. So in short: it's a flawed game that offers a different and more unique experience than the vast majority of AVNs out there... your enjoyment will mostly depend on two things: your tolerance for bad translations and whether you like or not the mini-game mechanics during the sex scenes... I recommed at least giving it a try, though. On a personal note: I really wish the game was available on Steam, because I'd like to support this dev and this project (I refuse to use Patreon), and if the dev ever decides to put it on Steam, I really hope they'll consider making some improvements and more importantly: fixing the dialogues!!! I reckon this game could do extremely well on Steam, but not in its current state. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | 7.6 | ||||||
20 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #18 |  | JURY (Ep.3 P1) ───────────────────────── It has average visuals, but A LOT of branching options (reminds me of Element 174). The character and dialogue writing is good, but the story is pretty dumb. Don't expect a well- informed story about a trial and jury duty procedure... the game is super fun though. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Jury AVN is an adult, erotic story based game containing high resolution rendered images and movies! The game tracks you as the main character being called up for a high profile trial as a member of the jury. Brooke Lafferty (American actress, model and franchise) has been accused of murdering her equally famous husband. How the trial pans out is down to you as the player. Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I'll give this a light content warning for some non-vanilla kinks, such as pee stuff, cum swapping, rim jobs and some action between LIs (some people consider that NTR for whatever stupid reason)... it's quite likely the game will go further in the kink department, considering the current content, but I doubt it'll go into super hardcore mode. I'm moving this game up to the top 25, mostly because of its branching and therefore its replayability value (and some upgrades the game has received, more info below). Now, let me be clear about two things: 1) The story of this game is... well, I'd say stupid, but that almost doesn't do it justice... if you've ever watched even ONE single movie or TV show about legal stuff you'll be able to tell how much this game is almost the opposite of how shit actually works... in fact, I have the theory that it's wrong on purpose, because there's no fuckin' way you could get it all so wrong by accident. So yeah, if you're looking for a plot that makes even a lick of sense, go somewhere else. This is a game about developing relationships with a pretty large cast of fun and charming characters in a completely unrealistic and absurd setting, but it does what it does pretty well. 2) The visuals aren't top notch, renders often have poor lighting, visual noise and artifacts up the waazoo, and same goes for the animations... however, again, it does a more than decent job with the visuals, and the animations themselves are well choreographed and honestly pretty hot (quite a lot of animted liquids too, which is rare). So, not high fidelity, but very well made nonetheless. This is a game you should play if you're looking for a fun lighthearted AVN with A LOT of branching to explore, and I do mean "explore", 'cause sometimes the choices for the best outcomes aren't the most obvious ones... so provided you enjoy the setting and can get past the sheer idiocy of the plot, you should be able to sink a pretty good amount of time in this one. On the bad news side of things, well, the development cycles are long, we're talking yearly updates at best, however the updates are pretty chunky, considering they have content for all routes, so it's not like the dev is sitting on his ass doing nothing... but yeah, be warned about that if you don't like long ass waits between updates. Some updates: The game has received a pretty huge upgrade in terms of animations, now they're actually pretty good and also have SFX... in fact, the dev went back to the earlier chapters and added a bunch of animated sequences to older scenes, so I've obviously changed the score, but I also thought it would be worth mentioning. Oh, on a personal note, I wish the dev would fix the save/load UI, 'cause it is a massive pain in the ass to use as it is, and it's kind of a shame considering the game has so many QOL features... here's hoping! | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 7.4 | ||||||
21 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #19 |  | LONG STORY SHORT (0.10 Steam) ───────────────────────── This is kind of a relationship simulator with A LOT of branching. It features all sorts of "sharing" and a fair amount of corruption and even un-corruption (is that a thing?). A very kinky game, and highly recommended, even though the overall quality isn't super high. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You will be playing as a guy who's never really clicked with girls. You'd much rather spend your time on the computer playing video games than dealing with real-life relationships. However, things quickly change. Your best friend Joe, has made a significant change in his life, and he is there to pull you out of your comfort zone into a new lifestyle that you never thought you'd experience. Vanessa, Joe's girlfriend, and Ann, her longtime friend, are just two of the girls you'll encounter early on. Are you going to build a relationship with sweet, shy Ann? Maybe you'll corrupt her instead? Heck, why not try to steal Vanessa away from Joe? Available on: Patreon / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I need to add a couple of warnings for this game: 1) This is not a RenPy game, I'm actually not sure what it's made in. It works pretty much like a RenPy game, but with a much neater saving system that allows you to create different folders for different paths. It's not a huge deal (I hope), I just thought it was worth noting. 2) This game is NTR city, so if you're one of those NTR-crybabies, you'd best stay far far far away from this one... you've been warned, so don't come to me bitching about it... and remember, sharing is caring <3 Oh, one last thing, I believe I read somehwere the dev is planning on adding music and putting it on Steam in the near future... UPDATE: Right, so the game has indeed been released on Steam, and it also got music added to it, though to be fair, its implementation is not great and the music itself is pretty meh... but hey, it's there. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 6.2 | ||||||
22 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #20 |  | ZERO END (0.2.5c) ───────────────────────── A Vertigo Comics-inspired game, with a very intriguing story, great writing and VERY good music. Unfortunately the visual side of things leaves a lot to be desired (a lot of clipping particularly), even tho the visual storytelling is quite solid. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Congratulations! Despite not having applied or even knowing of its existence, you have been accepted to Altham Academy. Though you have chosen to accept the invitation, be wary--you will be faced with your past, and the truth will come to light in the end. For better or for worse. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: A small content warning for themes of mental issues, depression and suicide... on the lewd front, the game is pretty vanilla, so no warnings there... in fact, the game is VERY plot-focused, so don't even expect a ton of lewd content... The good news is this has some of the best writing you'll find in AVNs, provided you like this type of story. With this latest update, the game reached its halfway point, and even though the update cycle can be somewhat slow, it's nice knowing that the game is progressing nicely. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | 7.6 | ||||||
23 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #21 |  | DEFENDING LYIDIA COLLIER (0.17) ───────────────────────── This game is ugly as sin, but it's got an intriguing (and different) story with multiple branches that can get quite kinky. I think I read this is almost finished (not sure) and I fear the story won't stick the landing... but we'll see, I'll revise it when it does. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Defending Lydia Collier is the story of a London-based lawyer called in to defend the wife of one of the city's most influential and wealthy businessmen who has recently disappeared. You'll be with the defendant during police interviews through to the trial in court, working to review the evidence and help build her case. Along the way, you'll meet various other characters and experience the life of a currently single wealthy London lawyer. Whether your fresh out of school assistant or a local police officer catches your eye, you'll be able to decide who you wish to interact with and choose to pursue romantically. Available on: Patreon / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I feel like I need to add a content warning for this game, because it has some... let's call them "non-vanilla" kinks that might not be everyone's cup of tea. It's nothing that veers into illegality, fortunately, but it might gross some people out (like a few light scat scenes for example). Other than that, like I pointed out, the game is quite ugly looking and the animations in particular are pretty shit... in fact, there's not a lot of them to begin with, but those that are there are just not good. If I were the dev I'd seriously consider just flat-out removing them, tbh. That said, the reason I recommend this game is simply because it's not the usual fare of college or dumbshit harem AVNs, it's got a pretty ok plot about a murder mystery which kinda gets side-lined towards the end of the game in favor of the more usual relationship exploration. One cool thing about the game is that it features at least four distinct routes with a fair amount of sub-branching within each of them, making it a fairly replayable AVN. Lastly, like I said above, I believe this game is coming to its conclusion and I really hope the dev won't just rush the ending(s) like most devs do, so let's hope for the best, I guess... | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 5.6 | ||||||
24 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #22 |  | KARLSSON'S GAMBIT (0.8.2B FINAL) ───────────────────────── Visual quality is average but improving. Very good writing and a great story with a lot of branching and character development. Don't be scared off by the "femdom/BDSM" aspects, they're (mostly) avoidable and the game is very much worth playing. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: In Karlsson's Gambit, you play as a male protagonist who has recently been arrested and sentenced to five years in prison. While in prison, he is approached by a mysterious woman who offers him an opportunity to work under a special program with one of the richest companies in the world, The Karlsson Group. This program will allow him to get out of his sentence in only six months instead of five long years...if he can survive and thrive. Little does he know that he will be exposed to a far more dangerous and strange situation than he anticipated, as he will be exposed to a world of conflict, ambition, cruelty, passion, and of course sex. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 2 is currently in development. Right, so obvious content warning for some heavy BDSM/submission/ humiliaton scenes... in fact, I think it's best to use a walkthrough if you want to avoid the femdom path(s), let me explain: So the game has two main characters (actually three, but let's not over- complicate things), a guy and a girl, although you'll spend more time with the dude, but for both of them there are two main branches: sub and dom... Now, where it gets complicated is that the dude's sub & dom branches have multiple sub-branches (confused yet? =P), and while the dom branches aren't too different, the sub ones get a lot more extreme in terms of the submission and humiliation content. Point being that, if you want to avoid the more extreme sub paths, you'll probably want to use a walkthrough, because the choices aren't super obvious and you could easily fall into the sub paths. The dom path(s) aren't really all that domination-heavy, but more of a traditional harem kind of thing where the MC gets more power and more agency and gets to fuck more chicks, instead of getting fucked over, metaphorically and literally speaking. Needless to say, despite the production quality not being the best there is (game looks pretty bad at first, but improves substantially as it goes on), the amount of branching between the two MCs alone would be enough for this game to get a high recommendation, since there are a lot of pretty different outcomes to explore based on your choices, and well, ideally that's what you want in a choice-based game, innit? But the fact of the matter is that the game also has a really complex but well written and interesting story, full of secrets, mysteries and twists and truns, plus a cast of both likeable and unlikeable characters who are all pieces in a very large puzzle set in a dystopian world. Or to put it in simpler terms, think Succession, but with a whole lot more sexual depravity... sounds interesting? Give this game a go! | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | 7 | ||||||
25 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #23 |  | INTERIM DOMAIN, THE ───────────────────────── Not gonna lie, it's a pretty ugly game, but it more than makes up for it with one of the most unique stories in AVNdom, along with a lot of content and great character writing. It can get quite emotional, since it deals with heavy topics, so fair warning. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: The world did not end with biblical brimstone and fire. Or with a bang. Or an asteroid smashing against the Earth. It came with a flash, and when that bright light faded, everything ceased to be. The main character (of your own naming) awakens to find himself in the Interim, a realm which exists between the old world and the new. Before long, he runs across Mira, an Entede--a metaphysical being sent to aid him. From her, he learns that he's there to assist those who've yet to properly move on. As these lingering humans desperately hold onto memories of their former lives, he must help them come to terms with their existence, all the while learning about the reason for his own situation. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Quick note about the "non-linear" tag: it's not really a "sandbox" game, but rather, you get to choose which activity you do next... and more importantly, there is no grind whatsoever. Update: The game has been completed... That said, there's a "director's cut" type of final version in the works, to be released at some point next year, so stay tuned for that and maybe wait for it if you haven't played this yet. But the game is fully done at this point... | * COMPLETED * | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | 7 | ||||||
26 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #24 |  | WHERE THE HEART IS (Season 1 - Remake) ───────────────────────── A very charming "slice of life" story with a lot of branching and surprises along the way. The writing and dialogues are very good, and thankfully, the first part of the remake has been completed, bringing the visuals to the level of the later updates! Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You play as a young man dealing with the aftermath of your father's death. After the funeral, you receive an invite to return to your childhood home to visit your mother's best friend, Monica and her two daughters, whom you grew up with. It has been several years since you've seen them, so the game centers around your quest to re-build these old relationships, forge new ones and deal with everything life has to throw at you, including the fallout from your deceased father's will. Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: So here is the thing about this game: there are currently two versions available, the original one which is almost complete (there is only one chapter left, but it will be a big one since it needs to deal with all the endings, which means it won't be out too soon), and there is also the remake version which is now available on Steam as a Season 1. The issue is that, well let's say that the original is a rather old title and it is pretty fucking ugly-looking for the first chunk of the game, hence the urgent need for a remake. Now, the reality of the matter is that you shouldn't expect any top-tier renders on the remake, but rather, they're bringing up the early parts up to the visual quality of the later parts, which are not the best looking visuals in the genre by any stretch of the imagination, mind you, but the improvements are night and day, both to the visuals and the overall flow of the story (they are also doing some rewrites), and more importantly, the game will now be a more even and streamlined experience than it is in the original version. Besides the marked visual improvement of the remake, they also added some background music (which is always nice), a lot of new scenes that really help to better flesh out some characters that didn't get as much love in the original version, along with a bunch of new and better quality animations. Like I said above, the story nows flows better and looks better, so yeah, really good all-around improvements. I guess the last question is: Should you get the Season 1 remake or the original version? Well, I mean, I guess you can always get both, but for new players I really recommend going with the rework/remake, it really is a much better experience as a whole, and maybe it's better to not spoil yourself too much... I'm sure the next seasons will come out sooner rather than later. | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 7 | ||||||
27 | 2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2 | #25 |  | UNIVERSITY OF PROBLEMS (1.6.0 Ext.) ───────────────────────── The story is extremely generic and the writing is terrible (bad translations and ultra cringy dialogues), however, the game is pretty long and has A LOT of lewd content, there is over 200 scenes with very good animations. Also, the basic version is free to play! Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Student life is perhaps the most vivid, colorful, and memorable period of life for many of us.You start your adult life, feel unlimited possibilities, make a lot of new acquaintances. "University of Problems" is just about it. An ordinary guy from an ordinary family unexpectedly enters one of the best universities in the country. What could be better, right?

28 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | CORPORATE CULTURE (0.7) ───────────────────────── A very well written story-driven game - this might be one of the best written AVNs - but with very little sexual content thus far. The renders aren't the best, but the visual storytelling is great. Highly recommended, although it won't be for everyone.

29 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | COVENANT OF MORN (0.5.1) ───────────────────────── A new AVN from the creators of MIST, so you can expect a similar level of quality in here. If you didn't like the visual style of that one, this isn't gonna be for you either, but so far it's pretty good, albeit still finding its legs in terms of plot. It's also a sandbox AVN. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You are resurrected by a white-haired witch that offers you a deal. Her blood to keep you alive, in return for helping her with an important mission. A mission to murder her very own sister.

Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I just wanted to add a quick word about a couple of things: First off, the sandbox... you probably know I don't like playing sandbox AVNs, but beyond my personal tastes, I have to aknowledge that the sandbox elements are quite well designed, at least in a visual level, but unfortunately, it does have some grind elements... they're not too bad, but be aware of that. Secondly, while I did like what was there when I played, and I do like the cartoony style this dev uses, I have to say I was very disappointed with some decisions in here, like making all the background characters be red ugly non-descript blobs... now, I understand the technical reasons behind such a decision, but I'm gonna be honest, it just comes across as "lazy" and it's a shame because the game is quite pretty outside of that... and the lore excuse for it doesn't work either. Anyways, there is a lot to like in here and it IS a high quality game, despite my personal gripes with it... I will probably let it cook for a long while before revisiting it, but this dev has a track record with MIST, so I'm sure they will keep up with the same quality standards, if not better. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | 7.6 | |||||||
30 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | CYBERNETIC SEDUCTION (Ep.5 Part 1) ───────────────────────── Upon revision, lots of things seem to have improved, the visuals are still very high quality, the music & sounds are better now, and I believe the writing also got a glow up, even though it still has some glaring issues.

31 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | DOMINO BEACH (Ep.2) ───────────────────────── I usually don't play/review new releases, but this is one of the strongest AVN debuts I've seen and a MAJOR improvement over the dev's first offering (Become a Rockstar) in every single regard...

33 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | FETISH LOCATOR ───────────────────────── A pretty silly college-with-a-twist story with decent enough quality, and for once, the 18 endings (yes, 18!!!) actually deliver, which is very rare for AVNs. Lots of lewd content with lots of kinks, with a lot of good animations. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Play as a young college student exploring love, lust, and sexual fetishes with the hottest women in town. Score points in the Fetish Locator app, which has taken the campus by storm. Make choices and decide the fate of the story in Fetish Locator! Available on: Patreon / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I suppose I should also do a quick content warning for this game, like with Taboo University, since this game also contains a fair amount of optional non-vanilla kinks, like water-sports (lots of peeing in this game basically, peeing on others, getting peed on and even drinking pee), as well as gay and transexual LIs. Nothing too extreme though, if we're being honest, but fair warning nonetheless. Also, a quick personal opinion about this game, because I really think it doesn't get the dues it deserves... for some reason it feels like these two games aren't too popular, and it's kind of puzzling considering the rather good overall quality they both have. This game, specifically, is completed and has A LOT of endings you can explore, and it's not just the typical endings with a few renders and some hastly written epilogue, most of these are actually pretty long and meaty endings with a good amount of content and animations, I was honestly surprised at how much work they put into them. So anyways, I very much recommend this game, it might not be the best there is (the MC looks like an absolute douche =P) but it won't be a waste of your time by any means. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 7.6 | |||||||
34 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | FORBIDDEN FANTASY ───────────────────────── New shorter game from the Fresh Women dev team, which means very good production quality (really good Blender animations) and pretty decent but generic story and writing... It also has probably the best VA in any AVN, for what it's worth, and lastly, the price is fair. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: As a young male warrior chosen by the sacrificial prophecy, you have to train with your elf lady master to be able to save the world from the hands of the demon queen. In this adventure you will meet many sexy, beautiful and mysterious creatures such as oracles, elves and demons. But be aware, in the many paths you may follow you will have to face great Danger, find allies and uncover mysteries. All of these in an exciting adventure filled with action, adventure and sex. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: This is a shorter AVN than usual, but it's not a "short story" by any means... seems like it's more of a prologue to gauge interest in the larger world of Forbidden Fantasy, and according to the dev, a sequel is in the works. Listen, this ain't the best story and it doesn't have the best writing, but the production quality is really high, so I believe it's worth a try and even a buy, since the price seems fair to me ($7 USD on Steam)... I've seen much much MUCH shittier games being sold for a whole lot more. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 7.8 | |||||||
35 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | GROWING THING'S UP (0.34a) ───────────────────────── Putting aside the truly terrible name, logo and overall marketing of this game, it is actually a pretty good game with very high production quality and a pretty interesting story that I'm sure you won't be expecting by looking at that shitty banner... it needs urgent rebranding. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You are a young man in a new city full of expectations and insecurities. However, things take an intriguing turn when you are mistakenly placed as a guest in a dorm where only women are allowed. In this place you will meet beautiful girls with outstanding personalities who will need your help to better explore their sexualities and fetishes. Now it's up to you to find ways and breath to dive into the sordid desires that some pretty faces can hide. Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Right, I guess I should add a content warning for some violent themes within this game, such as suicide and implied (at least) sexual assault, and killings, by which I mean the game deals with some rather dark stuff... It also has some BDSM elements, and I'm expecting they'll be more prevalent in future updates. Other than that, I have to say I was surprised with this game, because when you look at that banner, and even the description above, you're kind of expecting a Freshwomen clone or something like that, but it starts going darker pretty quickly, and while it's still quite early in its development cycle, there's a TON of potential in this one to create a more compelling and unique narrative. I really hope the dev will consider changing the name, which also has a gigantic typo on it - and that's already dumb as shit - but also the entire marketing strategy around it, because yeah, unless they're trying to pull the rug from under players, the whole thing just doesn't work and I bet they're missing on a lot of people who would actually be interested in a story like the one in here. Lastly, while the quality is pretty high, the game suffers from A LOT of minor issues that unfortunately keep piling up and make it seem like it's lacking polish... the worst thing is they shouldn't even take too long to fix, so I hope the dev addresses them. But yeah, a lot of quality here (great sound design too, btw) and a lot of potential, so let's hope it keeps up... definitely worth a look. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | 7.8 | |||||||
36 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | HOOKED! (0.4) ───────────────────────── New game made in Blender, the visuals and the animations are great.

37 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | IT'S JUST A GAME (0.4.1) ───────────────────────── An extremely promising newer AVN with excellent writing and a very unique and interesting story. The renders are very nice but it's missing animations and better (more) music. However, it's still early in its dev cycle and I'm sure it'll imrpove substantially.

The protagonist believes he has worked out a way to make them multiplayer. However, this lands him in an awkward situation with the company behind the technology. Now that he has a window into the fantasies of those closest to him, how will he change? How will they change? Available on: Itch.io / SubscribeStar ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: This one also deserves a content warning for some non-vanilla kinks you'll encounter, including trans/futa content and some other stuff. Besides that, be aware that the story is very, uh, let's go with "unique", and quite weird and complicated, even hard to follow, so if you're just looking for a wank, you might want to skip this one... if you're up for a lot of meta/philosophical mumbo jumbo, then strap in and enjoy the ride... I guess if I were being cheeky I'd say this is somewhat like Eternum, but for mature audiences. Anyways, it's kinda hard to talk about this game, so just give it a try... or not... you do you. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | 6 | |||||||
38 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | JESSICA O'NEIL'S HARD NEWS (0.65) ───────────────────────── This is an AVN about a female news reporter with all the usual corruption tropes, except it also has very good writing, setting it appart from other similar games. It's very sexy and the visuals are fantasitc, but unfortunately the dialogue:render ratio is extremely low.

Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Just a quick word about this game's development cycle: this game came out back in july 2018, so saying it's "slow" is an understatement.

39 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | LAST CHALLENGE, THE (0.2.0) ───────────────────────── A very intriguing new game with good writing (tho with a fuckload of typos) and dialogues, a nice cast of well developed characters and pretty good overall quality, plus a fair amount of branching. It's still too early to tell where it's going, but it's worth keeping an eye on it.

One week after their departure a global pandemic breaks out named the Crown virus, and it infects the whole world. Except Meteor Valley. For some reason the virus never spread to Meteor Valley and for this reason the government decides to quarantine Meteor Valley off from the rest of the country until a vaccine is developed. Now its 2023 and its finally time to come home. You spent the last decade stuck in Meteor Valley quarantined off from the rest of the world, and they didn’t just stop people letting in and out, they stopped everything. Imports, exports they even put-up signal jammers so there was no internet, mobile phones or any sort of communication with the rest of the world. Instead of standard education they started teaching useful skills like, metalworking, carpentry, farming, agriculture etc. The students had to work on farms rise livestock, grow crops so Meteor Valley can feed itself and survive. (You will learn more as you play the game) One day after a hard day of work and dying of boredom a bunch of you came out with the Challenges to pass the time. These were innocent and simple at first but as time has gone by, they became more extreme and even dangerous. Unfortunately, right before leaving, your idiot best friend accepts one of these challenges from an asshole childhood friend of yours and since you know that he has it out for Donnie, you decide to take over the challenge and this is where your story begins.

40 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | LAW SCHOOL (Season 1) ───────────────────────── This one has a pretty high production quality, great visuals, animations, music, etc...

Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 1 has been completed. So full disclosure, I fuckin' hated this game... Mind you, the overall quality is quite good, and even the writing is fine in a technical sense (as in no mistranslations, typos, etc), but god I hated the dialogues, every character talks like a reject from a cheap anime knock-off... I'm thinking something like My Hero Academia, or the likes... you know, one of those animes aimed at 12 year-olds... honestly, I was left wondering "who is this even for?" =/ And imma be real, the style of the dialogues just don't fit the tone of the game, or the visuals for that matter. It's SOOO juvenile, tropey and cliché that it becomes cringe... add to that some other "quirks" the dev tends to do and it can become a painful experience. That said, that's just me and your milleage may vary, I'm sure a lot of people will find a lot to like in here, and hell, they might even be able to stomach the inhuman amounts of cringe humor... I'm just warning you in case you're like me (I'm sorry) or if you don't like anime/manga at all, because this is a wolf in sheep's clothing kind of deal, you might go in expecting something completely different and have a not-so-nice surprise... so now you know, you're welcome... now shoo! =P | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 7.4 | |||||||
41 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | LEAVING DNA (Ep.3) ───────────────────────── Very high quality story driven AVN, so don't expect a ton of sexual content (yet).

Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Assistant District Attorney Rockford is an idealistic, well-respected prosecutor dedicated to the principles of the American criminal justice system. But while enjoying tremendous professional success, the thing he wants more than anything has always been just out of his reach, a family. His mother died when he was very young and he never met his father, an elite special forces soldier. And his romantic entanglements, though plentiful, have always ended with his partner frustrated by his paradoxical aversion to intimacy. But Rockford's life is about to be upended: a cryptic clue in a cold-case murder will set him on a search to discover his father's fate. And learning the truth will push the prosecutor to question his dedication to the rule of law and to reconsider the meaning of family. Rockford's search will bring him closer to four beautiful women: a tenacious homicide detective with whom Rockford has a romantic past; a brilliant prosecutorial colleague and childhood friend; a steely ex- military combat instructor with her own notions about the justice system; and a sweetheart schoolteacher whose past and future will link up with Rockford's to change both their lives forever.

42 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | MIST ───────────────────────── A horror/survival game inspired by the book and movie of the same name. Fully finished game with lots of high quality content and lots of animated sequences. It has a cartoony visual style and sandbox elements that won't be to everyone's liking.

A trip to your grandfather's old cabin goes south as you are suddenly surrounded by a deep unnatural fog that spawns strange creatures out for your blood. Luckily you aren't the only survivor, though, and together you strive to uncover the mysteries of the mist and amass a harem of beautiful girls. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Fakku ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Just a quick note about the sandbox elements: This one is a lot more game-y than most AVNs, one could almost say it actually isn't an AVN, but whatever... point is, there are quite a lot of sandbox elements tied to the survival aspect of the game. From what I remember though, you can choose to basically forego the grind by activating the unlimited ressources option, but you will still need to deal with a fair amount of sandboxy stuff: there are many free-roam sections and there's a combat system you will need to play to progress, but fret not, it's not hard or grindy, just a bit repetitive and therefore boring. You'll also need to deal with other minor gameplay things, but overall, it's not so bad. Still though, just doing my due dilligence and pointing all of this out in case you're absolutely against anything sandox-related. You've been warned and my job is done... peace out! | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | 7.8 | |||||||
43 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | MY PIG PRINCESS (0.8.0) ───────────────────────── A very high quality and fully hand-drawn AVN that oozes personality. It's a curious blend of cutesy storytelling and hardcore sex scenes with overly sexualized anthropomorphized animal creatures... you'll probably feel weird about getting boners with this one... =P Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: An 18+ Visual Novel taking place in a kingdom where the pig girl Emelie is the princess! You play as a human farmer in this lighthearted comedy adventure featuring plenty of adult content! Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Just a light content warning about this one, because despite the fact that it looks all cutesy and nice, it has a good amount of corruption/ maledom content... and well, you'll choke a chicken, in more ways than one... Another thing worth noting is that despite most 2D games being quite sandbox-y, this one is pretty linear, with very few and non- intrusive mini-games, so it's a pretty "chill" experience all in all. Lastly, fair warning: the development cycles are pretty slow which makes sense considering the absolutely stunning visuals... it's all beautifully hand-drawn and all the better for it. The production in general is very high quality, but unfortunately, it has no animations, although to be fair, you won't really feel like they're missing. | IN DEVELOPMENT | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | 6.6 | |||||||
44 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | NEW ANTIOCH (0.5) ───────────────────────── A sci-fi AVN with an intriguing story, good writing, a fair amount of action and pretty good overall quality. Visuals are very good, although animations are a bit janky. It's quite promising and definitely one to watch out for. Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: New Antioch is an adult visual novel set in a post-apocalyptic world, millenia after an ancient, civilisation-ending conflict. Mankind has regressed into another feudal age and, amid cutthroat politics, war without end, and a mysterious reproductive crisis, is on the long road to extinction.

You are the one they send out to confront their enemies, and send in when their pickaxes clank against...the unexpected. After injustice strikes, you are tasked in anger and desperation to infiltrate New Antioch, the capital city and crown jewel of your overlords--and see to its downfall. In this original story, you'll come across unique factions, places, people, and stories, that contain romance, violence, and adult content. You will decide the fate of New Antioch.

45 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | ORIGIN STORY (0.7.0) ───────────────────────── A newer AVN with pretty decent quality, an intriguing story about people with super powers, and very good writing... the visual quality is fine, but no animations, sadly.

46 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | POWER VACUUM (Chapter 11) ───────────────────────── This game is NOT to be taken seriously... it's completely ridiculous and absurd, a piss take of the highest order, but a fun one. I also choose to believe the low quality is yet another way for the dev to flip the players off. I mean, that UI has to be a joke, right??? ¬¬ Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Take the reins of Sterling, a nineteen year old male who has just returned home after a four year absence. The impetus for his return? The untimely death of a patriarch. But what should have been a somber moment of reflection is hijacked by the revelation that another entity is aiming to fill the role of patriarch. Do you protect the ones you love or do you roll over and let his conquest flourish? Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Yeah, this probably needs a content warning for all the NTR cry-babies out there, plus to be fair, it also has some... erm... questionable kinks, including a couple scenes of the animal kingdom variety, if you catch my drift. That said, and I can't stress this enough, it's all tongue-in-cheek, this is a straight up comedy AVN, a parody even, and I'm very serious when I say you shouldn't take it seriously, it's absurd and ridiculous and it's all for laughs. I'm unfortunately also serious when I say the quality is kinda ass... the renders and the animations will improve as the game goes on, as is usually the case for most AVNs, but the UI (user interface) design and the sandbox elements will not, and the game can become a chore later on with just trying to figure out how to progress. I really have the theory that it's obnoxious on purpose, but never mind that... Anyways, in the end I recommend this because, while humor is not universal and some people will not find it funny, the sad reality is there aren't a lot of fully comedic AVNs out there, and this is one of the best in my humble opinion. Plus it has a lot of content and I believe it's also close to being fully finished, so there's that as well. And like the Baha Men used to say: Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who?

47 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | REALM INVADER (Ep. 2 P1) ───────────────────────── The production quality of this AVN is crazy good, specially the animations... this might be one of the best HS games.

Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: In this game, you follow a young soulless shell for you to self-insert into man who lives in a world very similar to yours. Recently, he's been riddled with several mysterious ailments, including headaches, goosebumps, and an inexplicable sense of dread. These symptoms were a warning, this man finds himself in the middle of a cataclysmic event, at least, it would seem so. Where cataclysms will typically lead to the destruction of a world, this one has led to a birth. The nature of his world has shifted around him. There are new species, an altered society, and magic. He needs to learn about his new circumstances and what he can do with his new magical abilities. This man will slowly come to realize why he was sent to this world and walks a journey to unravel the mystery of his existence... Oh, yeah, and he fucks a bunch of people on the way.

I have some concerns, but It has potential to become a popular AVN. Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: The story mainly takes place at a mountainside resort that you (the protagonist) visit with your best friend after graduating from college. There, you will reconnect with girls with whom you had deep ties in the past and meet new people that can significantly impact your life in the present. While having the time of your life on vacation, you also find yourself in the middle of increasingly messier situations that culminate in a series of tragic events, which have derailed the next few years of your life. Five years later, you’re back at the resort, this time with your girlfriend of three years, Julia, as you feel like you haven’t entirely moved on from the events that have transpired there, and you need to find closure to become the man you once were and retake control over your own life.

49 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | SURVIVOR STRAIN (S1 v0.2.9.4) ───────────────────────── I replayed this AVN and I'm glad to say that it's gotten some improvements. However, the writing is unfortunately still very clunky. That said, it is one of the most unique games out there, both in terms of the atmosphere and the visual/musical style. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: It's been two years since the so-called first wave, where hordes of infected got everything in their path. During this time, countries fought with all they had in order to stop it. Many succeeded, and many were completely lost. During these events, you were simply a tourist in South America, unexpectedly ensnared by these extraordinary circumstances. You were forced to adapt to a reality far removed from home, navigating survival in an unfamiliar land. The story picks up two years following the initial outbreak, in the last standing nation within South America, but for how long will this last? Will you be ready? What type of leader will you evolve into? This narrative explores your journey of survival and leadership within a group of survivors, navigating the challenges of a world forever changed. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 1 is finished, but in beta state. Sooo there's been a name change and the game is now called: Survivor Strain - Season 1: Somewhere I Belong... which is a mouthful, so I'll just call it Survivor Strain... Anyways, I played the S1 release, and well, it was good... same issues as before, but also same strengths as before. The season ends in a cliffhanger after some intriguing plot beats, so let's hope the dev gets the support they need to keep going with the story... it'd be a shame if it just ended there. This game definitely gets a solid recommendation from me, warts and all... it really is one of those AVNs that has a very unique identity and feel to it... we need more like this, not less, so I'm hoping for the best. | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | 7.2 | |||||||
50 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | TABOO UNIVERSITY (BookTwo v1.2.13) ───────────────────────── This is of similar quality to Fetish Locator, although better in every regard, particularly in terms of the story and the writing. Yes, it is another college-with-a-twist deal, but this one works sooo much better. Its first season just wrapped up. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Vinovella University is set before the events of Fetish Locator. Follow the progression of an investigation while surrounded by hot uni babes. Uncover the truth behind the case of three missing girls. Integrate yourself into the cliques of a prestigious school and uncover their secrets. Whichever path you choose, you will have to use your charms and other instruments to blow this mystery wide open. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 2 is currently in development. Just a quick light content warning for a few non-vanilla kinks that are present in this game. There is a few transexual LIs (one of the main LIs can be assigned as female or trans at the begining of the game) and there's also a bit of peeing stuff. The game hasn't gotten too kinky yet, but it's safe to assume that it will going forward, so fair warning. The non-linear/sandbox elements are basically tied to the investigation mechanic that basically determines which 2 out of 3 groups and the order in which you will investigate them in a single playthrough, so it's really not an issue at all, it's more akin to normal branching. Lastly, like I noted in the blurb, the game has one season under its belt and it has a pretty hefty amount of content and a lot of sex scenes, and by the way, the animations in this game are really good (the intro sequence of the game is fire!). So I highly recommend people check this game out... for some reason not a lot of people talk about it, but there you go. | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 8 | |||||||
51 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | TOXICITY (0.09) ───────────────────────── ILSProduction's new game, which means you can expect a very familiar experience, with a lot of similar elements and a similar quality level to match... if you like their games, this should be a no-brainer for you. This one gets monthly updates as well, for what it's worth. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: It rolled in slowly. In a town in its off-season, no one noticed when the city streets grew empty. No one thought twice about it when people called in sick. And then, while at work, John and his coworker, Kallie, witness an unusual fog surrounding their office. Cellphone service stopped. Phone lines went dead. Almost immediately, they lost contact with the outside world. When they went out to investigate, the fog burned their exposed skin and made them sick. Stranded, they have to find out what’s happening and how they might be rescued. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: On a personal note, this one is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. As usual, the writing is on point and the setting and characters are very compelling and well developed. Unlike the dev's previous two games, this one is being made in HS2, so you'll notice a slight quality improvement... That said, it's got the exact same visual style as the other two... in fact, it's got the same everything, same font for the dialogues, same text box, same moans during the sex scenes, etc... If I have one criticism is that maybe the dev should change things up a bit to give each of his games a more unique identity. But in the end, it's a minor sacrifice in order to get a well written and compelling HS AVN that has an extremely rare (at least by this industry's standards) and consistent quick development cycle. It's very likely that this game will get bumped up a tier once it gets a few more updates, which should happen within the next 6 months or so. Suffice it to say that if you're looking for a well written horror/survival story, or if you're just looking for an AVN that gets frequent updates, well, look no further and give this one a try. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | 6.4 | |||||||
52 | 3 RECOMMENDED 3 |  | UNBROKEN (Book 1 Steam) ───────────────────────── A very loose plot but with great character writing and development, some of the best dialogues in AVNs.

From petty street fights, to Ranger school and finally to the 5th Special Forces Group he had thought he had found his way. Years later, he finds himself living in the heart of London, carving a path for himself in the competitive world of Mixed Martial Arts.

When a sudden tragedy leaves him the only link a young woman has to the rest of the world he finds himself thrust into a role he had long thought left behind. Can he navigate the dangerous world of professional sports, while managing to keep himself and those around him safe and sane? Or will he finally succumb to the pressure around him and break? The choices you make will not only impact yourself, but everybody around you, choose wisely. Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 2 is currently in development. Since season 1 was recently completed in order to make the jump to Steam, I took the time to replay the game and see what had changed since the first time I played it... Sadly, I was a bit underwhelmed by a noticeable lack of improvements in certain aspects, particularly the audio side of things... it seems the dev is gonna launch the game on Steam with barely three scattered background track in the entire game, it's a puzzling decision to say the least. Other than that, it's mostly what I remember playing previously, a game with a very loose story (this is very much a "slice of life"), but with a big focus on character development... and fortunately, that is really where the game shines above its peers, because it has very good character writing and great organic and realistic dialogues. Unfortunately though, the game is kinda lacking in the visual side of things... the static renders are decent enough, but the game just lacks the visual polish of other high quality AVNs. The animations are pretty lackluster at first, and then there is a noticeable change in them, but I hesitate to call it an improvement, because on the one hand, yes, they are more fluid and better animated, but on the other hand, they look like they were created by another person in another program, and honestly they also look strangely plastic-y and lifeless. So even though an effort was clearly made, the results are still lacking. I always intended to bump up this game to the top 25, if only because of its very strong character work... but sadly, upon revsion there are still a lot of things that are holding this game back from reaching its full potential. We'll see what becomes of it with its second season, there is a lot of room for improvement, so there's alway a chance! | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 6 | |||||||

54 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 | CLASSIC |  | DEPRAVED AWAKENING ───────────────────────── A noir detective story, very stereotypical, but decent enough. As with COBD (same dev), the character and relationship development is the weakest aspect of the game. Worth noting that It's pretty ugly at the start, but improves drastically as it goes on. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You are a private eye in Free City. Your latest client has found himself dead. As for how, many suspect suicide, though you're smarter than that. But poking around may get you in some hot water, but then again why would you be a private eye if you weren't looking to face the heat.

55 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 | CLASSIC |  | GOOD GIRL GONE BAD ───────────────────────── Eva Kiss' first game... listen, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, you're better off playing Our Red String, which is superior to this one in every conceivable way, but this one has its charms too, and most importantly a ton of branching you can explore over multiple playthroughs. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You play as Ashley and make choices that will affect her story in a meaningful way. Are you a good girl or a bad one? Will you stay in the right path or deviate and fall prey to the temptations you'll find in your way? Whatever you choose, it will lead to interesting, exciting and vastly different outcomes. This game aims to present you a complex, branching and coherent story, with deep characters and a lot of freedom, with completely hand crafted, hand drawn assets and a very unique art style, different from the usual 3D models. And a lot of kinky scenes and situations! Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I'll do my due dilligence and add some content warnings here, since it is a corruption FMC game, and there are a lot of hardcore kinks and even stuff like drug use, violence, death, etc... oh and the dreaded three letters... NTR... sooo scawy =P Other than that, I don't want to shit too much on this game. It's an older AVN and you can tell... visuals ain't very good, and they're also 720p to boot, which doesn't help in the least (I do recommend you search for an "upscaled version" mod, at least it won't look all blown up)... and there isn't a single animation. The sex scenes are very "minimalist", to be nice about it, and even the writing and the story are not as good as what you'll find in Eva Kiss' other game, Our Red String. But like I said above, just the sheer amount of branching makes this game stand out, and if you can get past its deficencies, I'm sure you'll get enough content and entertainment exploring the different choices and outcomes of the game... so maybe give it a shot, it is a classic for a reason. | * COMPLETED * | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | 4.4 | ||||||
56 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 | CLASSIC |  | LEAP OF FAITH ───────────────────────── This is a very raw passion project. It has a lot of emotion, but the pace of the narrative and the character development are lacking (some LIs feel like merely background chararcters). Visuals and animations are rather weak, but the music use and selection is on point. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Having spent 2 years wondering why your girlfriend left your seemingly perfect relationship out of the blue, you finally decide to move forward. And while you're opening your eyes to the world, it seems to be opening its eyes to you as well. Before long you've connected with 6 different girls, all with their own stories to tell. From that girl, you save from a horrible fate, to the superstar pop singer - even the returning ex-girlfriend. This is the story of your journey together. Which, through choices and opportunities, will lead you down a path you never could have imagined. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Eh... I'm not sure what to say about this game, it feels like everyone has already played it, but if you haven't I suppose I should warn you about the darker themes in it. This games deals with themes of mental issues and suicide, so if you're not in a good head space or if you don't want to deal with that kind of thing, stay away form this. Other than that, this game is famous for its emotional depth, and while it's true that some story lines are quite emotionally deep, the truth of the matter is that some others are just not. This game is very focused on one particular character and the rest of them feel very surface and shallow, their character arcs just aren't very well developed. The plot itself lacks narrative consistency as well, and it feels a bit too convenient... plus there are some plot threads that are introduced quite late and never go anywhere, which is puzzling to say the least. Visually it's just decent, it's enough to get the job done, but you won't be amazed by the spectacle. To be fair, the dev has a good visual comedic sense and timing, so you'll also get a few well earned chuckles in there. The last thing to note is that the game has a good selection of songs which are used to greatly enhance the experience of the game. Listen, I'm gonna be honest, in my opinion this game is a bit overrated, but it's undeniable that it's one of the big titles in the genre, because of what it dares to do in an emotional level, and I'm pretty sure it's had an influence in a lot of the better AVNs that have come out since. So yeah, you kinda have to play it... it is very popular and at the very least you will be able to join in the many, many conversations around it and its characters, who are also very popular and get frequent cameos in other games... you too will be able to play "spot the Lexi cameo" u_u | SNEAKY SECRET RANT!!! I'm sorry but we need to talk about this game... So, like probably everyone else, I too first played this game and thought it was a nice emotional story (despite any flaws it might have) and a welcome change of pace comapred to most AVNs out there, something more story-focused than porn-focused. And like a lot of people, I learnt about the origin of the game and the tragic story behind it and I thought "damn, that's heavy"... I mean, who wouldn't right? However, unlike most people, I never really fell in love with Cece, and in fact, I didn't really like how the game seemed to manipulate the player into choosing her as the main love interest and even wished she would have stayed as a purely platonic friend within the narrative. But the thing is, the more I've thought about the game ever since I first played it, the more it weirds me out... and listen, absolutely no offense intended to the dev at all, I feel for him and wouldn't dare make fun of that tragedy... but it just makes me wonder what the hell was the thought process behind the game. Because the more you think about it, the more you end up asking "why would someone who went through that experience make an actual porn game about it?" And sure, I know you're thinking "well it's a lot more than just a porn game", and you're right, but it is a game that has very explicit sex scenes, which means... you know... porn. And logically, we're led to think that Cece is a character based on his defunct daughter, but she is a love interest with whom you can get sex scenes... Also, is the MC based on himself then? 'Cause not gonna lie, that kinda makes me uncomfortable... hell, even if that's not the case, I'm still like "yikes, what is that all about", right? So yeah, it's something that's been bothering me ever since, and it's the main reason why I think it would've been better for Cece to be a non- romanceable character in the game... sure, she should very much still be the main character, but not in that way... I'd really rather not have all these weird, mixed and uncomfortable feelings about it... =/ Anyways, rant over... I felt a need to talk about it... your own damned fault for double-clicking in random places! Don't @ me... =P Oh and I hope I didn't ruin the game for you... and if I did, woopsie! | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 6.2 | |||||
57 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 | CLASSIC |  | NOW AND THEN ───────────────────────── This game is sooooo long I don't think I ever finsihed it. It's quite old, so it's ugly, but it has a visual style that makes it work, though the animations can be repeptitive. Oh also: It's a daddy simulator... it makes sense within the context of the story, but still, be warned. Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Now & Then is a story of Jack (or a name of your choosing) Brooks, a widower who lives with his adopted teenage daughter, Carol, during the aftermath of a global pandemic. Throughout the story, players witness the string of events that finds Jack adopting Carol and how they grow into a family unit before the collapse of civilized society. Influenced by Stephen King’s The Stand and numerous zombie movies and books, Now & Then is a tale of survivors learning to cope with the life as it comes to them. While the present is filled with tense moments as the Brooks family struggles with challenges of the new normal, memories of the past provide a slice-of-life window as Jack tries to learn how to be a new father to a teenage girl.

59 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | 30 DAYS (0.5) ───────────────────────── You can think of this game like somewhat of a cross between Hunger Games and X-Men.

Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: In a not so distant future, more than 20 people, full of dreams and hopes (and secrets), are recruited to participate in an extreme Reality Show. Little by little they will realize that they made the worst mistake of their lives by agreeing to participate. Here, they will know the true meaning of the word "elimination". What do you think? Will you reach the end of the 30 days of extreme coexistence and competition or will you be Eliminated? Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: This one probably requires a content warning for graphic violence (which you can skip) and it seems like it'll have a fair amount of that and more (like sexual assault and the likes) in the future, considering the context and the premise of the story, so fair warning. On a personal note, I'm loving this game, I really like the premise of the story, and the execution is fairly good so far. There are a few narrative issues, maybe even some plot holes, but nothing that can't be ironed out in future updates. It's worth noting the game has some pretty ambitious branching, which might be a good thing or a huge warning sign... time will tell... but as it stands, that certainly puts this game above most of its peers. Last thing to note is that the game uses AI-generated voice acting that sounds extremely robotic, BUT the dev was smart enough to use it for certain characters only and so its use fits the narrative of the story and doesn't take you out of the game... well, except for the fact that the AI voice keeps calling the player "MC" regardless of the name you choose for the MC (there's no default name either), and I'm gonna be honest, that's just stupid... It'd be better if the dev gave the MC a name and be done with it, or I don't know, use a code name, or come up with an excuse for the MC to be called something else... but the way it is now, it just doesn't work. Anyways, that's about it... Like I said above, this game has A LOT of potential, both in terms of narrative and gameplay/replayability value, so let's hope it all goes well and all that... you know the drill. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | 5.2 | |||||||

Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 1 has been completed... maybe? (read below) Interestingly, this is another college game made by a french dev(s?) and it shares some eerrie similarities and issues with that other game, Law School... I wonder if it's a cultural thing, huh... Either way, this game is tagged as a "harem" but there are actually several mutually exclussive love interests, so I'm not exactly sure what the dev is planning with this one. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but for the time being, I'm not tagging it as such... I just figured I'd let you know... and now you do. Also, given the premise of the game, expect some tests, mini-games, and even some free-roams, nothing too annoying, and they can be skipped, however you do get ranked depending on your performance and it seems the rank you achieve is going to be important later on, so maybe don't skip them... That's about it... oh wait, last thing: I'm not sure how much more the game will focus on soccer, but currently it has two fairly large soccer scenes with a good amount of animated sequences, and I believe there is still one more match to go through... and the LIs are all part of the women's soccer team anyways, so if you're into that sport, this is probably one of the better ones for it. Update: So I think the first season wrapped up, but maye not? I don't know for sure, it's hard to decipher what the fuck the dev is planning for this game, to be honest... there might be another episode or not depending on basically how much money they make, or that other episode might be part of the sequel (or there might not be a sequel at all I suppose, it's honestly starting to smell that way). For now I'll tag it like this and I guess we'll see what the fuck is going on in the future... jesus, I swear these "devs" are a massive pain in the ass... anyways, that's the news. | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 7.2 | |||||||

Not only that, but the creatures of that world have started popping up in your world, threatening your friends and families. The problem is, you're slowly being pulled into a darkness that you don't understand. You're being seduced by an unseen person, tempting you with power and control. Do you refuse to fall into the darkness, working with your friends to seal the breach? Or do you succumb, dooming them all and taking the road of evil? That is up to you.

I played the final chapter, and well, it felt very rushed, so it was quite underwhelming, to be honest. That said, it seems the dev will address some of it with some extra DLC/updates, to try to make the ending a bit more robust, but I probably won't revisit this game anymore, so keep in that mind, since the ending might be better than the one I played in the future. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 7 | |||||||

67 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | COLLEGE KINGS 1 ───────────────────────── CK1 was never super pretty or high quality, but it is a dumb fun college game with good dialogues and a good cast of well written and memorable characters. It also happens to be free to play, and like I always say, you can't beat that price! So check it out. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Just an innocent freshman at San Vallejo College, you are oblivious to the path that lays ahead of you. Growing up gets real when you learn about the unique cultures of the place you must call home. As loyalties form and tensions rise can you lead your fraternity to the crown and with it become the king on campus? Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: So you'll notice I named this game as College kings 1, which means this review, score and recommendation tier pertains only to that first part, or season, or however you want to classify it, so if you want to see what I think about CK2 (and oooh boy, do I have "some things" to say about it), look for it down below in the "Played" section. I decided to split them into two different entries in this list for a couple of reasons: 1) well, they are offered as two different games on Steam and other storefronts, 2) CK1 is free to play and CK2 isn't (and it's quite expensive too), and if I'm being honest, at this point they kinda feel like two different games... I mean, it's not a day and night type of situation, but CK2 has gone so much off the rails that I just can't recommend it at this point in time. But anyways, like I said above, I do think this one is still very much worth playing, and with all that out of the way: Full disclosure, this is one of my all time favorites, it's one of the very first AVNs I played and I actually played this one a lot, I had a lot of fun creating my perfect playthrough in which I tried to bang as many girls as I could by carefully balancing the affinity points in order to "unlock" as much content as I could, and I loved that aspect of the game. Now, I'm fully aware that this is considered a BADIK clone, which in my opinion is pretty unfair, given they are pretty different besides sharing the same core premise (which isn't particularly original to begin with), however, it'd be disingenuous not to mention the obvious: yes, BADIK is very clearly the superior game in every regard, so if you're looking for a college-themed game to play and you're short on time, obviously play that one instead. That said, while this one has a worse overall quality, it does have a rather large cast of (mostly) fun, charming and memorable characters you'll get to meet and get into all sorts of stupid (and sexy) situations with, and for the most part, the character writing and dialogues are good. I wish I could say the same about some of the plot elements, though, because the "euro-trip" part of the story might be one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've seen on an AVN. The biggest problem with this game is that you obviously won't have a conclusion and you'll be VERY tempted to continue the story in CK2, so let's hope the devs can get their shit together at some point and fix that clusterfuck of an AVN, so that players can finally get the full experience without having to suffer through one disappointment after the other. Anyways, it has a lot of content and it's free to play, so just try it... worst case scenario is you wasted a bit of time, so it's not a bad deal. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 5.8 | |||||||

There is a lot of "forced" objectionable content, so be aware of that. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Contagion Crisis is an adult monster survival-horror kinetic novel heavily influenced by games such as Resident Evil, Parasite Eve, and more. In 2018, a contagion escapes into the city of Grimhaven, Washington, turning everything it touches into lust-fueled monsters. Sisters, Sarah and Ava, must traverse the city, doing their best to avoid the mutations as they attempt to reach sanctuary. Through their journey, the pair will seek the truth of the contagion's outbreak; a task that will require them to unravel a web of lies that will change them both forever. Available on: SubscribeStar / Ko-fi ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I guess I should put a content warning, since the game features a lot of rape, sex scenes with all sorts of monster creatures and a lot of tentacle action - a lot of which is actually animated - and since this is a kinetic or choiceless AVN, well you can't opt out of any of it, so yes, it's all "forced", if you will... Remember, this is a horror story, so the content makes contextual sense, but if you're not into that type of stuff, well, better stay away from it I suppose. That said, the quality is pretty high and it does a good job at setting the mood and atmoshpere of a proper horror/survival story, so I think this is worth a try, despite the fact that it's completely kinetic... heck, just the fact that the dev(s) managed to succesfully create good looking and animated tentacle porn is pretty impressive and worth a look... you know... for scientific purposes =P | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | 7.6 | |||||||
71 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | CROSS REALMS (0.3) ───────────────────────── This is a very good looking HS game. It's a story driven and slow burn "isekai", full of well choreographed and dynamic action, but there aren't a lot of lewds or animations, at least yet. That said, the story is extremely tropey and the writing is clunky at best. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: On the first day of your college life, you and a group of friends are sucked into a vortex. When you wake up, you realize you're in a foreign place - this is not Earth. As you explore this new world, you discover it's a Qi cultivation realm, where power determines everything. There are nine Realms, each controlled by a dominant race: Humans, Demons, Deities, Spiritual Beasts, and more. Each Realm has a "spring" - a flow of Qi energy harvested from the Void, the space between Realms. Because of these springs, peace between the Realms is fragile and rarely lasts long. You arrive during the longest period of peace ever known, but how long will this so-called 'peace' really last? As your journey continues, you uncover more secrets about these Realms. Someone in the shadows has been plotting and orchestrating your arrival. Will you be able to stand up for yourself in a world where many see you as nothing more than a useless ant? The answer are yours to find. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: So, everyone is glazing over this game at the moment... apparently this genre of story is called "cultivation" in weeb language, but whatever, it is a very juvenile and generic anime "inspired" story, full to the brim with all the usual tropes you might imagine... if it wasn't obvious, I'm definitely not the target audience for this kind of thing... but let me try my best to be "objective" here... The good: The visuals are REALLY good, very crisp Honey Select visuals and like I said above, it has A LOT of action sequences... that said, don't expect a lot of animations here, there's actually not a lot of those, since they're mostly used for lewd scenes, and there's not a lot of those (yet). Instead, the action is handled with static images, but they are pretty well choreographed, so they sort of feel animated, or very dynamic at the very least. The audio side of things is also pretty decent, it uses a lot of sound efffects to complement the action (although the earlier chapters could use a bit more of those), and the background music is good enough. So generally speaking, the production quality is pretty high... and now we come to the not so good, meaning the story and the writing: First of all, as usual, the game suffers from clunky translations... they aren't completely shit, but it's noticeable, and the real problem comes from the writing style itself, because the game has its own lore and power levels (very tropey, like I said) and unfortunately, the game keeps dumping lore on you and throwing a lot of terms that I'm sure mean something... The story itself is slowly, and quite badly paced too... To me, it wasn't very interesting or engaging, it's the usual isekai harem bullshit with a "chosen" MC and all the typical crap you see in this type of thing... That said, the game seems to be quite popular, so there is clearly an audience for it. So anyways, I'm putting it in the top 100 for the time being, because of its strengths, meaning the visuals and the action, and since it seems to be really popular (what do I know, right?), but we'll see how it goes... | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | 6.2 | |||||||
72 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | DREAMLAND (0.4) ───────────────────────── This game has some of the best visuals and animations in the genre, with a very unique overall presentation, plus the music and SFX are also well utilized. The story and writing are decent enough. However, the game has a big issue when it comes to update cycles. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: The long-lasting nationwide lockdown has ended, and you finally get to meet up with your best friends from university to go on your first ever college spring break. All of you decide to travel to a town called Dreamland - the capital of the wildest spring break activities. And what seems at the beginning as a fun adventure filled with hot girls, parties and sex, you uncover that Dreamland has a dark and horrifying mystery which haunts you and your friends... Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Sooo I just noticed I've had this game tagged as "early development" for almost two years now, which is absolutely bonkers, so let's address the pink elephant in the room: this game takes way too long to update, which sucks, because of the wait of course, but also because I can't shake off the feeling that this will get eventually abandoned. And that would be a shame, because there IS a reason why it takes that long: the production quality on this thing is stupid high, this game has easily some of the best visuals, everything looks gorgeous, from the characters to the backgrounds, it's all very well crafted in order to create a very immersive experience. One caveat is that the game uses (and abuses?) a parallax effect that might be nauseating to some people, but it gives the game this feeling of etheralness that is hard to describe, so it's both a good and a bad thing, I suppose. All of that combined with a good use of music and sound effects give the game the proper eerie atmosphere for a story that's shrouded in mystery and dread, it kinda feels like the start of a horror movie. And while the writing isn't the best by any stretch, it is more than good enough to get the job done. But in the end, it's impossible to ignore how long it's taken for so little content - in fact, that's the only reason why this isn't MUCH higher on the list - and while it's true that all good things are worth the wait, when it comes to AVNs, long waits usually spell disaster. So keep that in mind if you decide to try this one out and let's hope for the best. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 8 | |||||||
73 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | DRIVEN AFFAIRS (0.7) ───────────────────────── This is a slice of life AVN with a very nice art style and really well made animations. The story is contained within the sub-plots of the various love interests (there isn't an overall plot), but the writing and character work is pretty good... lots of typos though. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: In Driven Affairs, you play as a chauffeur, providing luxury car-service to a list of wealthy and well connected clients. In the course of your services, you come into the employ of a number of beautiful women, all hiding some kind of secret. As you are gradually drawn into the provocative lives and lusty affairs of your sultry clientele, you will be able to take different paths, pursue various romances, and make choices that will have an impact on the outcome of the story. Choose carefully, for any decision you make can have long reaching consequences, and opening one door, will close another. Available on: Patreon / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Hum, well I don't really have much to say about this one except that I enjoyed it a lot. Even though the game has a fair amount of visual repetition, as is often the case with hand-drawn games, this one does a better job of having more unique drawn panels here and there to break the "cut-out characters on top of a background" monotony of this type of AVNs. The writing is pretty good and I don't think there are translation issues here, albeit there are a lot of typos that should be easily fixed with a proof-reading pass, so let's hope that happens. In terms of content, you will meet a diverse cast of characters that have their own story arc which might intersect with the others in the future, we'll see. There is also some branching, although in the later parts of the game the branching seems to not matter all that much and there are even some continuity issues, but again, that's the kind of thing that will hopefully be resolved at some point. I hope the dev will add audio in the future, it'd be really nice to have a more complete experience, but I suppose it's not the most pressing issue at hand. And uh, yeah that's it I guess... if you want a really good looking 2D AVN without any sandbox bullshit, this is a very good option. | IN DEVELOPMENT | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 6.2 | |||||||
74 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | ELEMENT 174 (0.24) ───────────────────────── This one is low quality and the story/writing aren't exactly top notch, however, there is a TON of branching which allows for a lot of replayability, and I found the game rather charming and fun, despite its massive shortcomings. Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Welcome to Branchfield, a place where the improbable becomes reality. You will play as a young man who has just enrolled in Branchfield University. There you will discover a large cast of characters amid this seemingly normal town. Who you decide to get to know and how you choose to interact with them will shape the story in an ever-unfolding narrative. Each branch will lead to a new possibility for love - or danger. This visual novel is sexy, funny, exciting and sometimes even deadly. It contains mature themes and situations throughout while never sacrificing story.

75 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | ETLINA'S PRINCIPLE (0.03 Bugfix) ───────────────────────── Amazing horror game with some incredibly beautiful renders... a very unique AVN to say the least. However, two big issues: some of the text needs some serious proofreading, and the bigger issue is that it has very long update cycles... so you know the drill. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Etlina's Principle is a mature, adult game with VN style gameplay and focuses on the theme of the symbyote\living suit. Humanity discovered a new type of living organism - a symbiotic life form called "Nox Limax”, which gave the hosts incredible powers. But one year after the successful tests on humans, something happened that seriously changed the world. At some point, people began to turn into slimy latex-like creatures. The city's environment and its neighborhood, animals, humans, and fauna changed drastically, changing the land into a perilous place, like an alien planet with its flora and fauna. You are a member of the HOWL Squad - a particular military unit designed to perform tasks in conditions of increased danger. On your way, you will meet many local inhabitants,most of whom may not be as horrible as they are told they will be. On your way, you will find a lot of friends and enemies. In the end, it will be up to you to decide who is the real threat. Who will you choose to support, and what possible results will that have on the people you care about and the fate of humanity itself? Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Like I said above, the 3rd chapter was apparently released without proofreading it first (hence the lower "writing" score), and it's gonna be jaring, because the earlier ones are actually very well written... I'm assuming/hoping that it'll all be fixed eventually. Also, don't expect a lot of lewd content in here, there's basically only one short sex scene so far. The game is REALLY focused on the story and the lore of the world, and it's a nice change all in all. Lastly, well, no way around it, it takes a while to get updated, which sucks balls, but I'm really rooting for this game, because let me tell you, it is something else for sure, so despite it being a risky propostion I can emphatically recommend this one, specially if you like horror games, but yeah, bear in mind everything I pointed out above. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | 6.4 | |||||||

77 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | GOD'S CALL (1.4.1) ───────────────────────── Very ambitious and VERY weird AVN... the kind of weird that you can't easily describe, so just try it yourself. It has three completely different branches, so a lot of replayability too. It also has some really dark stuff in there, so be warned. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: What if you woke up in the middle of the desert without any clue as to what you are, and much less where you are? You find yourself lost in the world with no place to go, are the ones you meet friends... or foes? A sense of hatred, disgust, and hostility engulfs the land they call Asteraoth. How you tackle this situation is up to you. In a place where choices will lead to a different destiny, will you face your fears? Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I guess this one needs a content warning because it has some pretty dark and depressing content, it is a game about war and it doesn't shy away from violence and death, and some of the choices can lead to pretty bleak outcomes... so yeah, not for the faint of heart. I should probably also mention that the setting of the story is not very common, it happens in a fantasy world where both men and women have female bodies, but the men have dicks and male names... so not true futas, more like trans I guess? (hence the lack of the "futa" tag) The MC happens to be male, but also has a female body, although very boyish with almost no tits, and will go through physical transformations throughout the story. So yeah, the setting of the world is pretty weird, confusing and might be a turn-off for some players, so fair warning. Other than that, the game branches out after an introduction to the plot into three completely different paths where you'll meet different people and the story will play out in very different ways, so it's very ambitious in that regard (the MC even transforms in different ways depending on your chosen path). The split is based on your early dialogue choices, and it is not very intuitive, to be honest, but you should be able to figure it out. Last thing to mention is that, while I recommend people check this one out just based on how different (and interesting) it is, I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention that it's been taking a while to receive updates, so you know what that means... =( Still, give it a go if you're looking for a different kind of experience. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | 7 | |||||||
78 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | HALFWAY HOUSE (Ep.11) ───────────────────────── This one's a slow burn and doesn't have the most interesting or engaging story. However, the renders are absolutely beautiful and the game has some of the best visual storytelling in the genre. Animations have been added to the game recently (they're good but laggy). Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You're a nineteen year old dude who just spent four years in juvenile detention. Today's the day of your release. But you're still under a six month probation period, so you can't do whatever the heck you want just yet. You get assigned to a halfway house way out in the boonies to learn a thing or two about being an adult. After all your were just fifteen years old when they put you away. And in juvie, they don't exactly teach you anything about dealing with the outside world. So you're thinking to yourself you're shit outta luck being shoved from one crap hole to another. Outside, your friendly neighborhood probation officer is waiting to drive you to your new home. Is the new place gonna be as bad as you think? Well, you have to play the game to find out. Or you could just read the rest of this post to get some idea of what to expect. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: In addition to the main game, there are also a few pretty short bonus episodes... I believe they are "what if" type of stories (at least some of them), but hey, content is content, so check them out! I should also mention that, sadly, this game tends to have long update cycles - which are probably not helped by the aformentioned bonus episodes - and you all know what that means. In fact, I'm downgrading this game a couple tiers, because of the update cycle... | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | 8 | |||||||

81 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | MISSING PART, THE (Ch.3) ───────────────────────── A slow paced and character driven AVN with a dramatic setup, somewhat reminiscent of a more realisitc Leap of Faith, although with fewer comedic beats... The overall quality is pretty high. Don't expect a lot of sex scenes, but what's in there is fairly good. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You are a man who has lost what was most important to him. In the prologue, learn all about the events that led you to the current point in your life. Then decide for yourself how to deal with your grief. Will you find a way out of your pain, or will you trade one emptiness for another? Meet your potential love interests who can accompany you on your way out or watch you as you continue your descent. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I suppose I should do a content warning for the drama that unfolds in the prologue, it has to do with death (without spoiling too much)... this is not a "happy" AVN, it's one of those drama heavy ones, so be aware of that much if you're not in the right mind frame for that kind of thing. Before playing this, I read a lot comments about how "it's an emotional gut punch" and things to that effect, you might have read the same, but I'm gonna be honest, the initial drama left me as cold as a fish... it just didn't do anything to/for me, so your milleage may vary... Some people swear it's the saddest shit they've ever read and they were sobbing like babies, so I'm not sure what to tell you... =/ Either way, if you like slow burns and drama heavy AVNs, you'll probably like this one. The quality is pretty high, visuals are mostly good and the animations are generally speaking good too, although they can look a bit janky at times. The music is also well used, but it didn't particularly feel like an amazing soundtrack overall, just fine enough. Other than that, listen, this is not the type of AVN I enjoy, I usually like more fun and upbeat and/or more plot focused games... the sad slice of life thing is not my thing, but if you happen to be one of the many massive Leap of Faith fans, chances are you will also like this one... I think the overall quality justifies its place in the recommendations list, and in the end, not every game is gonna be for everyone, but it's always good to have some variety and this game is a good representative of the more "serious" type of AVNs out there. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | 7.4 | |||||||
82 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | MONSTER COLLEGE ───────────────────────── It's another college game... but it features Not-Wednesday-for-legal-reasons and some other monster chicks.

Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: The protagonist of this story discovers that he is a werewolf. Despite already attending a good university, he feels compelled to change it to enrol at Silverleaf University.

In this fun and erotic journey, you'll get to meet many characters that populate Silverleaf University: all attractive and passionate in their own way, each with unique and fascinating characteristics! Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Update: The game just got completed (dec. 2024)... the ending is, well not great to be honest, but still, better than getting abandonded... Hopefully the dev will make some revisions to it before calling it a day and moving on to whatever comes next. Still though, the games is quite decent despite the weak ending. Oh and by the way, where the ending fails is in terms of a satisfying conclusion to the relationships, the plot itself gets neatly wrapped up, so at least in that regard it's satisfying enough... now you know. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 5.8 | |||||||
83 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | MY BIMBO DREAM (S1 Steam v1.0.0) ───────────────────────── While the whole "bimbo-fication" kink is not my thing at all, the game's got other things going on for it: Pretty good quality and quite a lot of branching for a modular experience where you'll get to choose how to treat or be treated by the different LIs you'll encounter. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You play as "Randall" a guy who moves back home after quitting University. You are faced with the situation that Sue, your loving "landlady" wants to give herself breast implants. How will you cope with the beloved woman of your fantasies becoming a step closer to your perfect woman or shall we say SLUT? How will you handle the attention Sue will inevitably get from others? Maybe if she is prepared to get bigger tits, then maybe she would go even further into being your perfect woman? As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, Lucia, Sue’s best friend, is interested in Sue’s transformation. Will she be a help or a hindrance in realising your fantasy? Either way, it will be fun finding out. Mix into this a little trouble with your ex and things are starting to get a lot to handle. Available on: Patreon / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: * SEASON 2 is currently in development. I guess I'll give this one a light warning for the whole "bimbo-fication" thing, which is not optional for one of the main characters... I mean, it IS kinda the whole point of the game after all... but still, be warned if it's not the type of kink you enjoy. Update: So I played the latest version, the Steam Season 1 release, and there are some good changes, but some not-as-good ones too. First of all: The overall presentation has been improved, so that's good, it looks a bit more "professional" now. Secondly: There are also a few improvements that I was able to notice in terms of the narrative and the writing, the game feels a bit more cohesive than before and the dialogues seem a little bit less clunky (I'm guessing it received a proof-reading pass), however they remain quite repetitive still... but overall, some improvement in that regard. Now for the bad: Well, some of the new content and animations are not of the same quality and they almost seem like they were rushed, maybe to meet the Steam release deadline? Who knows, but yeah, there is a notable quality inconsistency in there. And the other thing that is, maybe not bad per-se, but maybe not good either, is that they streamlined the branches and now you're more hard- locked into one of the three main branches you choose at the start of the game (the sub/cuck route, the pimp/sharing route, and the harem/ romantic route) and now there isn't as much freedom to make more specific decisions within each branch... I'm gonna be honest, I prefered the previous branching system. All that said though, the game remains a very interesting offer with a lot of kink variety to explore, and it's still very much worth a look. Anyhoo, on to Season 2 and we'll see what the future brings! | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 6.6 | |||||||

This ain't for me, but I'm sure many others will enjoy it. Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Everyone is broken in their own way, with traumas in the past or regrets they cannot let go. Each of the lost souls longs for the missing pieces to fill their empty hearts. Hope, anticipation; fear, hesitation. All mixed in.

87 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | OPPAI ODYSSEY (0.4.1) ───────────────────────── Well, as you can guess from the title, it's a space adventure that has a lot of ladies with huge titties. Pretty good overall quality, even though it's not the most original or exciting story. It's a sandbox game, but has a VN-only mode (thank god!).

88 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | RATED 19 (0.3) ───────────────────────── A story focused AVN with a pretty intriguing premise full of mystery and action (and even some horror elements), with a nice cast of characters. It's a slow burn, so don't expect a lot of lewds off the bat... that said, it's a very dynamic game that moves at a brisk pace.

But a strange announcement derails everything from then on. In a parallel world, a young man sees his life and future changed in ways he had never imagined.

89 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | SEXBOT ───────────────────────── It's a full-on comedy about nerds, time loops and sexy lady robots with above average quality - although the visuals are a bit too compressed - and good music and SFX. This game is more about the jokes than the story, to be honest, and it's very sandbox-y. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Play as a nerdy college student trying to get a date for the homecoming dance. Just when it looks like you are doomed to a life of perpetual virginity, sexual salvation arrives in the form of the humanoid robot: Alexa. With only one week to calibrate Alexa before the dance, your choices will determine what kind of date you're going to get. But the more time you spend with her, it becomes increasingly obvious she is not a basic Sexbot model and something more sinister is lurking in the shadows. When things don't go as planned at the dance, she brings you back in time, to give you another chance. Available on: Patreon / SubscribeStar / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: This one needs a content warning for a few non-vanilla kinks, such as some light BDSM, sharing/NTR, futa content, pegging, etc... nothing too extreme and it's all optional. As for the sandbox elements, due to the nature of the time loop theme, you'll encounter sandbox mechanics that are very similar to games like Lust Theory, if you've ever played that, in which you repeat the same day(s) over and over with a gradual progression as you unlock new content or new variants of the same scenes. And while it's not "grindy" per-se, it can become very repetitive and even boring depending on your tolerance levels. Other than that, it's also worth noting once again that this is primarly a comedy/parody AVN based on stuff like Weird Science, Groundhog Day and the likes, so don't expect a serious, meaningful or romantic story in here... hell, there isn't much of a story outside of the intro and outro of the game, you should play this for the laughs. Oh and lastly, there is a direct sequel in the works... so check that one out as well if you liked this game. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | 6.8 | |||||||
90 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | SHALE HILL SECRETS (0.11.3) ───────────────────────── This game is about a mute MC who never shuts the fuck up... yes, I'm serious. Pretty standard school setting with a mystery twist type of game. It uses cut-out characters, which is lazy, but the art is actually pretty good when it makes the effort. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: You’re an extraordinary guy doing an ordinary job: working at the tech help desk for a small university, when you discover a mysterious application that allows you to peer into your classmate’s private data. In an evening you go from thankless drudgery to running the panopticon. While you debate the ethics of taking someone’s nudes using military- grade hacking software, you soon realize there’s bigger things at work. It seems every friend you have is hiding something life or death important. And then you discover a secret message board where someone is trying to hire a hitman. Does this go straight to the top? Only you’re in the position to find out, and save your friends at the same time. Mystery, intrigue and girls to romance and seduce are waiting for you in Shale Hill Secrets. Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / Steam ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: There's a couple of things I wanted to add about this game: First of all, the game is not made in RenPy (or Unity either), I'm not sure what it's made in, but it's worth noting that, sadly, the UI isn't great. It looks okay and has a gallery and all the basic stuff, but it functions in a rather weird and unintuitive way when it comes to saving/loading and chapter selection. It's not a game-breaking issue, I suppose, but it is quite annoying. Secondly, the art style: it has a pretty cartoony look that might be jarring to a lot of people (plus it makes all the LIs look a bit too young), so be aware of that. The game also has a mixture of regular renders and "cut-out characters" or "sprites" as they're known in the genre, meaning when the characters are rendered by themselves and then are pasted on top of a background and they don't always look integrated (it's a common thing with 2D/hand-drawn games). Not a huge deal, but you might want to know that if you're like me and you don't like those. Lastly, the game has some sandbox mechanics in the first third-to-half of the game, but then they got removed. It's a little bit grindy, but nothing too obnoxious, mostly a "choose what to do next" type of deal. On a personal note about this game, I wanted to rant a little bit about it because I think the game had an interesting premise, but they totally fumbled it. So the game is about a mute MC, right? But for some reason they decided to make it a first person perspective/POV game where you never see his face... and on top of it all, they didn't even bother using sign language, which could've been a pretty original and unique thing to do in an AVN. Instead, they chose to give him a text-to-speech app on his phone, and the fastest fingers in history, considering how quickly he types and has conversations that way... oh he's also constantly rambling in his head, to the point where I was wishing he'd shut the fuck up for two minutes. But if you're not gonna use facial expressions and/or sign language and your MC is gonna have no issues comunicating in a rather normal way at all, then what is even the point of making him mute? It's a waste of a pretty neat concept/premise if you ask me. Point being that devs should really think these kinds of things through a lot more before starting work on their AVNs, to be honest. UPDATE: It got completed, I need to re-play it and re-rate it, but I'm not gonna do it anytime soon, so this rating will have to do for now. | * COMPLETED * | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 6.4 | |||||||
91 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | SHUT UP AND DANCE (Ep.9 Ch.2 SE) ───────────────────────── Played and rated again since the dev finished all the remakes. The visual quality is quite good and consistent and animations are very good too. Story is a bit silly, and since there's a mind control element, it can be a bit too rapey depending on your tolerance levels. Double-click to read more ▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Shut Up and Dance is a story-rich adult visual novel which tells the story of a young man's life taking a turn for the worse and everything going downhill instantly.

You decide to leave school and start working to help with the current situation, both financially and emotionally.

93 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | STRANGERS ON PAPER (Ch.2 v.0.2.2) ───────────────────────── This a very high quality slice of life game, it's still in early development, but it seems the game will only be 4 chapters, so there you go. Very few but decent animations and hardly any lewd content as of yet, but recommended for the top tier writing and overall quality.

94 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | SUMMER CRUSH (Ep.7 v0.7.9.1) ───────────────────────── They've fixed a lot of the issues that plagued the early releases... unfortunately, it's still a bit mistranslated, but at least it's intelligible. The visuals and animations are great and the story is pretty good, with some neat twists and some dark themes. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Summer Crush is a visual novel for adults where you have to get into the role of a young man who has just graduated from high school and is about to go to university. The last summer of your childhood would have passed you by, but you agree to go to a random party, and after that your whole life changes completely. Now it's up to you to make sense of what happened and untangle the tangle of a story full of fun, girls, and, of course, sex. Available on: Patreon / Steam / Boosty ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: I played this one when it first released... the game got some attention because its first release was pretty long, but also huge in size, around 8GB (but that's because it was poorly optimized), however, I think most people were let down by the very poor translations and a lot of other issues the game had back then (some bad renders, almost no music, etc), plus the story doesn't really kick in until a bit later, so yeah, I think most people just dismissed it and forgot about it. I remember revisiting it some time later, and I saw some improvements for sure... however, my idiot ass forgot to change the score and the review, so here we are again and this time I paid attention. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the improvements that were implemented to the game, specially the begining which was partially remade, if my memory serves... the visual side of the game is now almost flawless and consistent. I'm also pretty disappointed because, while they somewhat fixed the translations, it's still not enough and the dialogues are still quite clunky and it's a shame, because the story in here is actually pretty good, it has nice cast of characters and the plot has some neat twists and some rather dark turns... and in fact, I might as well add a content warning for some bleak shit involving suicide, while we're at it. It's definitely not just another dumb fuckfest, and you can even see the good writing behind the clunky translations. It also has a good amount of steamy sex scenes and some branching, not a ton, but enough. Last thing to note is that it seems to be nearing completion, apparently it's only got one more update left in the tank, and I hope the dev will manage to stick the landing... At any rate, I do think this is very much worth checking out, despite the issues with the dialogues (at least you can follow the plot well enough). | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | 7.2 | |||||||
95 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | SUMMER HEAT (0.5) ───────────────────────── So this game has extremely high production values, amazing renders in particular, and the writing is quite good in terms of characters and dialogues. However it has two big issues, the pace of the plot, and worse, the pace of development. Double-click to read more ▼▼ ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Official synopsis: Experience the ups and downs of summer camp! Meet girls, earn their trust (or break their hearts) and take some photos along the way. No matter what you choose, you'll feel the heat. Available on: Patreon ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: A quick word about the tier placement of this game: A lot of people will probably be surprised to see this game so low, and indeed, if it were up to just me this would be MUCH higher, since the quality of the visuals alone is extremely high. A lot of people complain about the writing and specifically the pace of the plot, which I completely agree is honestly just bad, but that's not really the reason for me to give it a lukewarm recommendation. The actual problem is that the game is rather short considering the amount of time it takes for new updates to come out. It's been in active development for over two years and there's just not that much content to show for it. Granted, a lot of AVNs take a long time to get updates, but this one has a whole lot more support than most. Point is, just temper your expectations going in, and take into account that you're in for very long waiting periods... and that at this rate it wouldn't be too surprising if it gets abandoned. All that said, I will gladly change my review and move this up to where it truly belongs if the dev(s) get their shit together going forward, and let's hope they do. | IN DEVELOPMENT | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | 7.6 | |||||||
96 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | SUMMER SCENT (0.6.2) ───────────────────────── I really loathe this game's writing style, but to be fair, it IS very popular and a lot of people seem to love it (there's A LOT of branching), so what the fuck do I know, right? That said, it also is a below average quality game and that can't really be contested.

Minor content warning for bi-sexual activity, the MC can get pegged and swallow cum from one transexual and one hermaphrodite LIs. UPDATE: I played the entire Season 2 and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the writing in this one... it seems S2 focuses on setting up the MC's harem, so it felt like most conversations were about 1) incest appology, 2) polygamy and 3) pregnancy... and hey, I understand the need to that in terms of gameplay, but holy shit, it was extremely repeptitive having the same conversation with the 10 LIs in the game. Much like with Projekt Passion's second season, the background plot also felt like a series of irrelevant side quests that didn't really advance the story all that much. It's almost like the entirety of S2 was used for setting up S3 and the relationship statuses. Well I guess it's on me for having more expectations from an incest harem AVN, I really should know better at this point... =P | ** IN DEVELOPMENT ** | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | NO | * YES | 6.4 | |||||||

100 | 4 WORTH CHECKING OUT 4 |  | TROPICALI (DEMO 0.4) ───────────────────────── This isn't really an AVN, it's more of a hybrid, because of the gameplay mechanics.

Available on: Patreon / Itch.io / SubscribeStar ──────────────────────────────────────── ► Additional information: Just wanted to quickly expand on my reasoning for placing this game on this tier... Obviously the problem isn't with the quality, because this is a VERY high quality product indeed. However, like I said in the blurb, this is also a hybrid type of game with a central management-sim type of gameplay mechanic that could potentially turn away a lot of people just looking for a more regular AVN experience. That said, I'm farily sure there is an "easy mode" of sorts for players who don't give a shit about the gameplay side of things, but it's still structured as such and not as a regular AVN. So keep that in mind, and I'd personally suggest you give it a try, since it's probably the highest quality KOI offering. If you're looking for a more traditional VN experience with similar quality, try the dev's other game Out of Touch (in the Highly Recommended tier). UPDATE: The game's been completed, but I haven't played the final build yet... I will re-score and re-review it if necessary whenever I get around to replaying it, but just so you're aware! | * COMPLETED * | NO | * YES | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | * YES | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | * YES | NO | 8.4 |
