Recommending Lesbian Protagonist Games List

[Gwedelino]

My apologies for the inconvenience, but I will finally listen to the advice of someone.

I'm currently working on a KLK fangame which will be heavily focused on yuri. (And by that I means most of the possible routes will be pure yuri.)

Sadly it's still very early and I won't release anything before 2023, but I'm still open to the opinion of yuri enthusiasts since the game will be for them.

I try to make a progress report every week so people can have a good look about how everything is going on and express their opinion.

Weekly report goal and heavy yuri focus? You have my attention. Take your time!

I'll use the specific thread to communicate my thoughts, but this definitely looks promising, and especially for a first game!

I didn't see this one on the list so here we go : https://f95zone.to/threads/yorna-monster-girls-secret-final-yeehaw-games.13210/

Quick summary :

- Mostly yuri game but does include unavoidable straight scenes.
- Girl on Girl scenes focus on Monster Girls and Lezdom (Protag can be both a Sub or a Dom) but it's mostly light domination, nothing too harsh.
- Gameplay is very heavily close to Melty's quest.

Feels like more a bisexual protagonist than a lesbian one but at least it's heavy on yuri content.

Then it doesn't fit

 

[MostlyHereForYuri]

I'd say it still qualifies if most of the scenes are Yuri. I know I'd be interested.
That said, I don't remember an unavoidable straight scene in that game?

Isn't prostituting yourself at the manor mandatory to progress through the game ?

That's something I have in mind. I remember having to get the help or a Lord at some point of the game.

I remember playing that game a long time ago, I didn't finish it so I don't know if all the scenes are avoidable, but as far as I remember prostitution is optional, it was just a way to get money and "sex" experience fast.

 

[Grandy_UiD]

I agree that Yorna deserves to be here.

I think there is an easy way to know if the game belongs to this recommendation thread or not:
Think like this...
How many games are there on the forum with sex scenes with guys and girls? So if we were looking for a game where there are sex scenes with guys and girls, then this topic would be unnecessary.
It only exists because we are looking for games where there are only GIRLS ON GIRLS sex scenes. Just girls with girls and not "most of the scenes" or "almost all scen es".
"ah, but there's only one at the beginning." "ah, but there's one where something like that happens and then never again", "ah, but it's a prostitution game and you have to do it with just one and..." If you have any of these, then it's No. It's not for that topic.
If you see a game here and it doesn't have this simple differential, then it doesn't belong in this topic.

I concur with this. Straight games put a token lesbian scene in because their audience is generally fine with that whereas lesbian games with even a token straight scene fall into the dogshit ice cream fallacy: If I like ice cream, but you like dog shit, then putting a dollop of dogshit into the ice cream may seem like a fair compromise to you, but I won't be eating any of it now.

but I won't be eating any of it now.

well said dear

 

[MostlyHereForYuri]

Games that are 90% straight with one or two lesbian scene I think are fair to say they don't belong here.
But if we're talking games where at least 50% of the content is lesbian (a tag I would not include futa or FFM threesomes in) and the straight scenes are optional (if perhaps a bit skill based) then I think it's fair to put them up with the warning label of "has straight stuff in it" or the likes. There's value to be had in there that some of us Yuri fans wanna see and experience.

In Yorna's case, to use the example, it's entirely plausible to run it completely lesbian and the majority of content leans in that direction with an optional straight scene or two and some bad ends being the exception. By all means warn about it, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water is where I'm coming from.

Here comes the more subjective side of my argument:
I wanna be informed when such games where a (near-/)completely lesbian run is possible appear, for that is the big qualifier as far as I'm concerned. If it's skill-based I grant that's a bit of a grey area since it's technically avoidable, but unlikely to be completely avoided in practice (depending on the difficulty of the game), in which case I'd judge it by quantity of potential bad ends involving straight stuff compared to the lesbian bad ends or scenes in general. To be hit by such a bad end just means you rush through it and go back to the good stuff.

From there, I believe, it's up to us to determine what is worth it to each of us respectively and move on if even the slightest of hetero being in the game is a strong enough deal-breaker; content in knowing those with looser standards might still enjoy the gems within without someone else's anti-preferences scrubbing a nice Yuri experience off the list entirely because the game makes it plausible to pick a male love interest or some of the monsters have a dick or there was one scene early on you could've easily scrolled past or whatever. Obviously none of those examples I mentioned are likely to be any of our preference, but again, baby with the bath water. A game with anything less than a 100% Yuri ratio not good for you? Cool. Move on. A game with mostly Yuri but one or two straight scenes to scroll past or that you can get caught by good enough for me? Cool. Have fun.

In this case, you could make a topic like "50% lesbian games" or "games where most scenes are lesbian", and leave this one for those looking for 100% lesbian games. Because whoever is here is because they want games with 0% penis and not 50% penis or "some penis eventually". Finding games like the ones you mention is very easy using the forum's own filtering system. To find something 100% lesbian, we would have to use the filters:

female protagonist
lesbian

and delete

futa
futa protagonist
male protagonist
male domination
penetration
rape
vaginal sex
and more

And with all that, it's still not guaranteed to find something 100% lesbian. So really, for anyone looking for something that's "50% lesbian" or "with some straight but mostly lesbian scenes", there's a lot to see. Now, the amount of 100% lesbian content is very small so that, in the only place where there is a possibility of achieving this, there is still an invasion of content "where at least 50% of the content is lesbian " would be really bad.

To sum it up: no one here (or most, I guess) doesn't care if the baby goes with the water. Most (I suppose) here just want to know about the water and didn't even want the baby to be there, so... 'don't put a baby in our water'...
There's a lot of babies out there on the forum and we're in a desert. This topic is a little oasis with a little water. Leave our water pure for us to drink as it is extremely scarce and take your babies to bathe elsewhere.

 

[GreenDark]

but don't throw the baby out with the bath water is where I'm coming from.

Out goes the baby.

The people who value this thread are specifically looking for stories where all straight content, penises, futas, monsters, etc, are 100% avoidable. Doesn't matter if something with 99% yuri and 1% straight gets excluded if that 1% is unavoidable. This is the concept this thread was created with. Suddenly changing that would be a betrayal for us.

I imagine a large number of us are tired of this site's inadequate tagging system where "lesbian" can be put on anything where two women make eye contact while being gang raped by men and where no tag like "lesbian only" or "lesbian protagonist" exists. This thread is the second best solution to that problem.

Allowing unavoidable straight sexual content would open up a can of worms nobody, I bet not even you, would be willing to deal with. How would someone even determine how much is acceptable and how much is too much? In this case I bet a lot more babies would be thrown out because of how blurry the line would be.

As pointed out, you or anyone else are free to create a separate thread that highlights whatever it is you are looking for. But this thread right here should remain as is: all non-lesbian content, no matter how little, must be strictly avoidable.

 

[Beggarman]

I concur with this. Straight games put a token lesbian scene in because their audience is generally fine with that whereas lesbian games with even a token straight scene fall into the dogshit ice cream fallacy: If I like ice cream, but you like dog shit, then putting a dollop of dogshit into the ice cream may seem like a fair compromise to you, but I won't be eating any of it now.

So, basically how a typical straight dude watching porn acts if they see a gay scene?

I agree mostly if talking about mandatory scenes - that seems to have been the old rule and there's definitely games on this list that break that rule if not, so I assume that's what we're saying. Though I'd probably have gone for a peanut allergy-gory.

That said: This list hasn't been updated in over two years. Pretty much all the suggestions we're relying on since have just been posts from other users, and most have come with any caveats if they haven't been posted in error. Complaints about non-matching games don't go anywhere because it's not like we have mods cleaning up the topic after a discussion. I don't mind setting up a "Mostly Lesbian Protagonist Games" thread (eventually, anyway) but I feel like it'd pretty much kill this topic, especially if the games were decently categorized. Like, just having a mark next to games with not-reasonably-avoidable straight sex would make this list redundant, especially if it's getting updates. I'd rather it be more detailed - say "No Dicks, Dicks Avoidable, Dicks Unavoidable" or w/e - but that's just an example.

 

[GreenDark]

Oh, that's embarrassing. I just realized this is Onibaku's thread. I thought this was Cboy's. Most of what I said would have been probably true when this thread was still regularly updated. Now not so much.
