I just saw
Are there not adult games that are *not visual novels* but do include romance as a *main focus*?
I sincerely ask because I played a lot of romantic VNs with sex scenes as a teen, and I played a lot of non-VN non-romantic sex games as an adult... but games that are:
* not VNs (i.e. they can have text but must also have significant gameplay elements)
* include explicit sex
* have romance as a main focus
I can't really think of any right now. Do you know any?
BTW, when I say they must have romance as the main focus I don't mean they *obligatorily* must be wholesome or sappy or melodramatic or devoid of problematic stuff. Any kind of romance fits. I'm just curious of what's out there in terms of adult games but outside of the adult VN market where romance games are common.

which explores romance in video games (this is the same channel that did a humongous retrospective on adult video games like a year or so ago but YouTube took it down eventually so it's not available at the moment) and it stood out to me that even when this channel is unafraid to bring up adult video games when it talks about video game history... most of the games that it mentioned that include romance and also adult elements (i.e. sex) are VNs.Are there not adult games that are *not visual novels* but do include romance as a *main focus*?
