General BL Games Discussion Thread

Hanakage mention!!! I really enjoyed that game, haven't heard much talk about it anywhere I should play hanamachi monogatari one day

Replying to the recommendation question further up in the thread Shingakkou is a classic but I also really love STEAL! It had its 15th anniversary recently and the illustrator published some doujinshi which I'm hoping to get...
For a more accessible (and localised!) title I really enjoyed Tokyo Onmyouji too! I think Holicworks games in general are pretty underrated and I wish more of them were available in English...

Hello! Which other vns would you say STEAL! is similar to? I'm looking to expand my areas of interest

I can't think of any other VNs I've played that are similar to this so I can't make a good comparison...it's very character centric and the charm of STEAL is all the fun group interactions and character dynamics mixed with some action.

If I had to make a comparison I dare say it's a bit like persona 5, bc of the phantom thieves/undercover theming and also a tight-knit cast who are good friends with one another.

I'm really curious about hanamachi, especially because I was dying to know what was going on between shuri and tatsumi when I was playing hanakage

Call me a pessimist but I lost hope already It's been such a long time. All they've been doing is making new merch... OV was first released a decade ago.

It's sad to say, but you're right, Karin won't be making any more BL games. In my group, we bought a game from dlsite to support the company and download a DLL that we couldn't get. The code doesn't work because the game's page is deleted, or rather discarded by the developer . So, if you want to buy a BL game from Karin, don't make anymore.. You won't get any support or anything. Even so, it was nice while it lasted... Three BL games that were great in their time, and thanks to efforts of the master @Beannie. We can see the deleted sites of omerta . I also encourage all to buy the omerta or omega vampire CDs from Surugaya before they become lost media. I'll try to get more with my next payments, so that's all I can tell to all. Also, comment on x so they stop just making merch like me and make a game once and for all.

Phew, I'm finally destressed...Sayonara

hanamachi is actually pretty good, the downer is shuuri looking like a child but thats very common in old blvns but, i love the li's! esp sakuya he's probably the sweetest route ever, i recommend playing!!
