What's the heaviest otome or BL game you've seen? And I mean "heavy" in terms of file size.

Love and deep space is 37GB on my phone....

Olympia Soirée and Virche Evermore (around 6GB), but Virche FD alone it's almost 10GB I think

Yeah, I think a number of VNs (that are made by companies or have a budget and are long enough) are usually around that size of 5 to 6 gb.

I've been looking through the files of a lot of them lately and I've seen it's not just the audio that's heavy, it's also the asset files (such as images) that contribute to the size. I've seen that it's usually like 2+ MB each for CGs for a lot of modern ones.

Also, there's some FDs have CGs and stuff from the previous game in its files, which mostly likely contributes to the file size. As MariPZ mentioned, the Virche FD is large. Piofiore's FD is like 6.5 to 7 gb large. 9 RIP has versions of CGs that one is 1920x1080 and the other one is double that size. Its sequel also kept both versions in its files lol. If they're gonna reuse assets and keep the files in, I wonder why they just don't make the FDs DLC instead... though they most likely want and need to get more money from their audience + more money in compilation lol.

Other than console games, I can expect mobile/gacha games to be heavy since they're obviously increasing in the size with every update lmao. I bet that Silent Whispers will be one of the largest, if not the largest, due to the usual size of open world gacha/online games.

I think the largest otome I have is Shiro to Kuro no Alice for Nintendo Switch which is 10GB. To be fair, it is two PS Vita games packaged as one.

Otomate just announced that port of every single Hakuoki game on one cartridge for Switch 2. I dread to think about how big that file size is gone be lol.

I second the vote for Love and Deepspace. Last update I attempted told me I needed over 40GB, which means I can no longer play it on my phone (which is ridiculous because I bought a new phone LAST YEAR). If I wanted to play it, I'd have to emulate it on my computer (which was one of two reasons I pretty much stopped playing).

Discounting LADS, Slow Damage is about 5.5 GB? That's probably on the heavier side, and I don't think there are too many otome or BL games I have that would exceed that. I feel like most of the modern ones fall between 3 to 4 GB, and the older ones between 500 MB and 2 GB.
