I've been a little conflicted with Hayley's Story of late because of the focus on her relationship with the math teacher, I feel like it's been taking too long but I think that's mostly because I'm playing it as it updates, I know that if I was to do a single playthrough from the start til now it'd be a really good story arch. I'm glad the dev has handled like he his, it's not bogged down in unnecessary drama. I'm trying to think of other slow burn games that I've played but I play so many games that the names get lost for me sometimes. There is ofcourse Dating My Daughter, that's probably been one of the slowest burn games I've come across, I kind of had to stop playing it though, all the internal dialogue was making me feel like a creep somehow plus it's first person which make all the kissing scenes super weird. Picture Perfect has been a nice slow burn, but it's relatively new so there's not a lot of content. A new one popped up recently called Radiance that has a similar premise that looks like it'd be a good slow burn. Summer scent is another one I've recently discovered. Midlife Crisis starts out kind of slow with a few characters, it's ramping up now but it has a fair amount of romance to it too. There's definitely more that I can't remember. Oh a few more just came to me. Alexandra, Free Loading Family, Become a Rockstar, Bad Memory, Lexi, The De Luca family.
Any that you've come across that have been standouts to you?
