Noted. I'll make sure I'm ready to click off at any time, thanks for the warning.

I'll give you a warning too, then. If you ever stumble upon a game called "Lessons in Love", DON'T PLAY IT. PLEASE. PLEASE DON'T, I BEG YOU.

... Sorry, sorry. I know you look at a game's tags before downloading it, but unfortunately I found said game on another site and it did not have said tags. So I wanted to make sure you did not see what I saw.

I’ve seen lessons in love on people’s signature, and it looked pretty wholesome.. this site is just cursed I guess

Believe me, it is not wholesome. Just... Look at it's tags on F95, if you do not believe me. I don't want to tell you what I saw, even remembering it brings a bad taste to my mouth. I have heard it is even more disturbing than "Doki Doki Literature Club", if that comparison helps; although I have never played DDLC so I would not know.

That zombie game... It's just boring. A bit messed up and a lot more boring.

Alright! On to the actual list now! Do you have any suggestions? Because, um, I'd consider myself pretty indecisive, and it doesn't help that a lot of the games seem interesting...

How cursed is Lessons in Love? Is it similar to stuff like SubaHibi and SayoOshi?

Eiyuu Senki is an absolute must try for me, I forgot the games that you've played, but Inkling Heroes is another one that I love.. though it's very difficult (talk to me if you get stuck on the first part). I love Goddesses' Whim, so i'd give it a try if you're okay with harem.

i wont tell you which girl but you will have to comfort a suicidal girl who just cut her wrist but the way you help her maybe wont be what you want, the mc is not a good man

Don't know what those are, and I don't know the full extent of Lessons in Love's horrors either. All I can tell you whilst being able to eat dinner is that the MC is a terrible terrible being that everyone who plays the game hates and that I had to close the game to retain my sanity after going to sleep for the first time in-game.

Ah, it was me who forgot to tell you, sorry about that. I've played Teaching Feeling, My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend, Adventurer Trainer and Goddess' Whim.
I'd try "Eiyuu Senki", but if the issues you've described are real, I do not think I would be able to play that game without hating the MC and pitying Himiko; I'd rather not do either.

Thanks for the recommendations, though, I'll be checking out "Inkling Heroes" now.

 

[Deleted member 9147997]

Okay, um, I sorta have no idea what to do in that squid game, so... Would appreciate it if you could help.

If you struggle a lot with the harem in Eiyuu senki, I found something that helps is to consider the alt scenes as the canon version.
The way Eiyuu senki works with nsfw scenes, is that they (besides for himiko and arthur) come at the END of a character's questline. The questlines for every character are optional, but each part gives bonuses to both the MC and the character that are too good to pass up on. If the harem is a very, very big issue, you could either skip the END of each questline (the final reward is good, but enjoyment of the game is better), or just consider the ALT scenes as the canon version- since the fact that everyone is intimately involved with the mc is never mentioned in the main storyline.. which I believe is the same as the sfw version of the game.


For Inkling Heroes.. it's VERY hard to gain the trust of the first girl. Here are my tips:
1). Save often. You will fail a lot most likely..
2). Check my spoiler for the secret bonus, it's really helpful.
3). Use all your stamina for the day, and also mix in dirty talks- they don't actually dislike it for some reason.
4). Use squid perfume often, it helps a lot with affection gains.

Once their dialogue/thoughts chance to be positive (iirc its negative --> neutral --> slightly positive) i BELIEVE you can confess at that point, which gives an extreme amount of affection, changes the relationship, and ensures they won't shoot you if you try making them fight.

Also.. I'm not gonna comment any further on this but if any of you are into nsfw asmr
i consider

You must be registered to see the links

the holy grail of nsfw asmrs (in wholesomeness, voice acting, and script)

I see. I might consider it, then, thank you for telling.

And thank you for the tips about the squid game as well, but to me, it sounds more tedious than hard. Thankfully I've spent way more time for way more pointless things, so hopefully it will not be an issue.

Okay, well, I think getting the Captain to your side is impossible on Normal Mode, even with the secret boon and maximum optimization. At least I can rest easy, knowing I tried to do it normally.

I admit the only things I did are "Chat" and the option directly under it, but I doubt anything else makes her like you.

 

[Deleted member 9147997]

... Huh. That was short. So short that I don't think I can really write a review. A bit boring though, considering most of the time you're clicking the same two buttons. There's also a potion that instantly makes them like you, and you can give it to them any time. It costs 100K, but after the first fight, I imagine just buying that would make everything a lot easier.

The game has more afterstory content than story content, and most of the gameplay is in that. The story content is mostly for getting the characters in the first place- there's not enough time to actually see their dialogue and fully build the relationship within that few week timespan.

..also, i think i managed to get the first girl to like me on hard mode, but it took a LOT of trial and error

Oh. That makes sense... Well, I'll go check that out then!

And, if getting the Squid Cologne is luck based, there's a chance that you can do it on Normal Mode. But if it isn't (which is what I think) then I don't see any way.

 

[Deleted member 9147997]

Finally finished it and I got ending 4. I dunno what other endings are there, but I honestly do not care.
From the beginning of the game, I was thinking "You know, these squids are nice and all, but my favorite is the maid." AND THEN YOU TELL ME I CAN MAKE A HAPPY FAMILY (well, we don't see it but I'm pretty sure it happens) WITH HER?!

I can definitely see why the game has made it onto your list.
... Still too short for a review, I think. But amazing nonetheless.

I've been playing through Eternum and..

This is god tier. Like, I don't know what else to say, but this is god tier in both wholesomeness and just straight up enjoyment.
Despite being a vn, this is like.. probably my favorite game I've played so far, actually

You're right; the story is great. The only downside is being a visual novel, and it doesn't include pregnancy or defloration. Otherwise, it's excellent. I really enjoyed its humor and storytelling.
