Seeking Looking for Renpy / VN type game with Vanilla or Romance plot

[IAmArcnarx]

Hello. I'm looking for any recommendation for a Romance or Dating Sim games. I prefer Visual Novel (VN) with Renpy, but if there any that are not a VN, I'll be fine with it too.

I prefer something with pure Vanilla, where you can only date 1 girl or 1 male, but i think it'll be hard to find. So something like Wicked Paradise should do

Thank You!

Here's a few, there are multiple endings in most of them with a love triangle being as big as it can get iirc.

Avalon
Triangle
Haley's Story
Life with Mary

Haley's Story is very much a 'cest game. I do not know if that bothers you?

From the top of my head: (games where you exclusively go after a single LI are very rare, most games I mention are a bit of a compromise in this regard)

Melody is THE one to go, this one is purely in the ' girlfriend simulator' genre, the LI (the titular Melody) will not tolerate any side-romances after a certain point in the game, you will get a bad ending if you do not stay faithful )

Price of Power haven't played it myself but as far as I understood this is also firmly in the 'girlfriend simulator' genre (one single LI)

Chasing sunsets a 'cest game where the main LI is your stepsis like Haley's Story but there is one other LI (it looks like the game will force you to choose between one of them. Not sure though, game is unfinished, as are most other games on this forum)

Acting Lessons bit of the same, the game basically forces you to choose between 2 LI's in the end (there is a third but that is considered a bad ending)

Summer heat A bit of an unknown factor. Very early in development. It might turn in a Harem game but I am not sure. A nice one to keep an eye on

Previously mentioned Melody and Life with Mary are probably the best for you. I'll suggest Babysitter and Alexandra.

Babysitter is also a 'cest game right?

And Alexandra, I personally quit playing after an hour or so because the MC is such a unsympathetic a**hole.
Being a stealing/blackmailing mobster and be cool with that? (or better said, unmoved by it)
It totally rubbed me the wrong way.
(I like playing a goody two shoes character, I just can't be a bad guy )

Yep, uncle/niece.
Apparently there is Incest Remover linked in the OP if you have a problem with that.

In that case, you may like Teaching Feeling. It's a little different from those mentioned here, butt it'll melt your heart with it's wholesomeness

I checked the OP for that game, yeah it really ticks all the boxes for me......right, mmwwwuhaha
(seriously, I really cannot play those kind of games, yuk. And no fan of Anime artstyle either)

Back on topic, do we have more recommendations for the topic starter?

Matrix Hearts maybe? it is wholesome/romantic but it might turn into a Harem game (no Harem tag so far)

Price of Power (mentioned above) and, if you're ok with a lesbian romance that doesn't have all that much sexual content, A Summer's End come to my mind. Both are lovely.
