Seeking 2D or 'anime-style 3D' slow-burn romance games

[Typhu]

I'm looking for recommendations for romance-heavy games, focused on a single LI where you go through the steps of befriending them, falling in love, confessing , becoming a couple and all that jazz. Can be a straight-up VN, can be more interactive type of game I really don't mind either.

No NTR, gay, non-consensual content or forced harem though - if the game has optional harem where you can just say no to it and focus on a route with a single LI, that's fine. Yuri is also welcome.

Ah, I LOVE slow burns! If you haven't checked out my list, definitely check it out because I have a LOT of romances!
I think.. Bottle Biosphere likely has the closest to that (besides eratohoTW, but it's a text console game so likely not what you like), as the relationship progresses super naturally and the first act of sex occurs like.. 2 ingame months/quite a few HOURS of real life gameplay which i REALLY like because having sex with a traumatized/emotionally distant girl is just.. not what they need

1Room and Teaching Feeling are also pretty good for that genre.. i'll think of more if i can

y'know i kind of realize my list is really short right now besides the extras of like 30 games i haven't played

Yeah, I did use your list quite extensively (thank you for your work) and even commented on it once, just trying to find more games like that right now which might be lesser known.

Slow-Burn romance is just such a cliche, I'm surprised how few games there are which fall into that category.

Well.. most nsfw games are made with the purpose of being 'I'M HORNY AND I NEED TO SEE SEX NOW!!!', not the actual process of really getting to know the FL and working out relationship issues, getting closer, etc, so it's going to be really rare to see a really good romance game

Straight up VNs, though- you can find a LOT of those.. except i didn't put those on my list
