I pretty much agree with everything except the part about the original Occultus, but that's because I don't know much about it.
It was the first game I played by
BeCe, not sure if it was the first he made but it was the first on here.
It's also the only male protag game by this dev. It was only by chance I played it, I was only looking for lesbian games at that time but it sounded interesting so gave it a shot.
It's not a proper sandbox but did have a bit of grind to it. Over the games Be has launched you can see how polished as a dev they got.
Anywhoo, starts of as a guy kinda outcast from the main family who ends up working for his aunt Cerys who turns out to be a vamp. She turns the MC, he takes on the evil side of the family and wins.
Bit of a brief run down but a lot goes on.
While male protag games aren't my faves I did really enjoy it and Cerys was awesome. I got the happy when another Cerys appeared in DoD even if she has an entirely different personality (original Cerys was rich and refined, complete difference from unhinged Cerys we all know and kinda love/hate).
It is well worth a look. It doesn't really connect to the current Vamp stuff but it's a fun story with a couple of sad parts and a decent ending. The Vamp girls in it are great though.
I do think the recent 2 Occultus stories are by far his best work.
Trying to find good lesbian games isn't easy. While there are quite a few games with lesbian content, having good, quality lesbian centric games is rare.
I've been blessed by a few this past couple of years but Occultus stands out by far. Great characters, interesting story, lesbian romance and enjoyable writing.
I did wonder how Be could possibly top DoD but Craving started really strong and kept that ball rolling. I've been loving this one.
Like I said earlier, the dilemma for me has been the love interests.
I mean, they are all great and any one of them could stand as best girl of their game but Ash was just a star from the start. Marsh was pretty awesome too and Vel.
When I read Mal and Ash had split I thought other LI's would shine and Dana really did. I didn't know what to expect considering how we met her in DoD but she was great from the first meeting. It was like Ash all over again. Even the cock was a bonus. Thought it would be hot to see Mal fucking a hot Vamp with a dangler and it was very nearly delivered. Scene was still hot but really can't wait for Mal to ride Dana senseless.
Anywhoo, got off track there.
Yeah, Dana stood out from the get go but it does have some great contenders for love interests.
Major downside is I can't tell who is a love interest and who's a supporting character. I say that because some of the main story characters from DoD weren't love interests so you never know.
I've gathered Dana is as is Devi and Bronwyn. It's the rest i'm unsure of.
I hope
Ash will be, i'd love to see their romance continue and have a save ready just incase. She's looking awesome on her return. She looked great in DoD so to come back better is huge bonus.
Peggy is one I hope is a love interest but i'm not sure if she is. She kinda hints she's up for a bit of fun but i'm not sure if it would be more than that. She's a great character with an awesome look and I think her and Mal would go well together.
Vel I don't think so. I know she was in DoD but it seems any feelings between them have completely fizzled out and they barely trust each other now.
Marsh and Trinity haven't reappeared and giving how Vampire heavy this has got I don't think Trinity would fit in without being in mortal danger constantly. Considering they wanted to keep her out of that life, with Mal being a Vamp now I don't think she'd go for it again. Marsh is a possibility though.
Cerys seems more on the friendly side this time but still not sure if she'd be a love interest. Deff possible one nighter but full relationship, not sure on that.
