Seeking Help me find games with some freedom and good writing

I'm new to these forums and adult games. I've tried several and really enjoyed Harem Hotel, Mythic Manor, Man of The House, and Summertime Saga. I really like the ability in these games to free roam a little bit, decide which characters I'm focusing and in what order, and the fact that it feels like I'm playing a game rather than just reading a story. I also like the fact that these games have solid writing.

I've also tried Milfy City, and I think it has potential, but there's too much that hasn't been implemented yet, so I think I'll wait for some updates.

I tried Depraved Awakenings, The Visit, and Where the Heart Is as well, but those games don't have enough game play for me. It's more like reading a story or watching a movie. I really want more than a choose your own adventure book. I will say that Acting Lessons seems like the writing is good enough that I'll probably end up playing through it even though there's not much in the way of game play.

I've also been trying to play though Holiday Island and Dark Magic, but so far neither of them seem to have any kind of a coherent narrative, so I find myself getting bored quickly.

Any suggestions for me based on the above?

I like free play games too. I also like some planning and tactical choice even if it comes with some grind. With that in mind, I'd recommend the following (from most planning/grinding to least):

Superpowered -- most grind as it is a resource collection / allocation game
Take Over
The Company
Headmaster -- though is it quite early in development what is present is solid
Personal Trainer -- like Headmaster, early in development; no real grinding at all though you end up potentially going through the same scenes as you wait for a particular day or time
Private Community -- like personal trainer, there is currently no grind. It is also very early in development and the dev's last update disappointed them in terms of content added

Thanks, I enjoy the grind to be honest.

I've been looking at Superpowered. Very interested, but was worried it might be too early in development. Maybe I should give it a try anyway.

Does Take Over have animated scenes, or is it just still shots? It looks like an cool idea.

I'll check out The Company as well.

I've already downloaded the other 3 and will wind up trying them out soon as well. They looked like they were exactly what I'm looking for.

Superpowered is renderings only; a lot of the game elements are in place. I don't recall animation in Take Over though it might have some. The Company uses real porn, but I think I saw they were going to convert to art or renderings.

Badik : One of the best titles of the moments : VN with a mix o free roam ; there are nice mini games inside
Midnight Paradise : it was port recently in RenPy games that next updates could have a nice improvement
Lucky Mark : really grind game ; the big problem is the size of the download , more than 10 Gb

Wow, I'm so disappointed to hear that Superpowered doesn't have animations. I just assumed that it did.

Been playing Badik a little bit. I like it. There's not quite as much freedom to it as I'd like, but the quality of the writing and animation is pretty great.


Thanks for the suggestions. Long live the princess looks like it will be pretty good. Do "The Way" and "Where it all Began" have the ability to explore freely, or just branching paths in the narrative?
