So so far games of this style, the top ones seem to be

- Once in a lifetime
-Mythic manor
-Harem Hotel
-Pale Incarnations
-Ripples
-Waifu Academy

Which other really good ones should I play?

Hehe it has been so long since i played this game.
Yes, but it remain as an absolute masterpiece with characters that would easily destroy a lot of mainstream ones.

So yes, I am absolutely serious about the comparison between the two series (and the two groups also, I mean, just look at them: same exact personal characters and three over 5 also the same external look) and consequently, I have an extremely High Expectation of what Pale Carnation can achieve.

One thing I really love about this game is how compliments arent always the right dialogue choice.

Almost every other game i played every time you refuse to compliment a girl you lose points or they never call you out for the compliment being generic/dishonest/badly placed like this game does. This adds a touch of realism for me cause just like irl, complimenting your way to a girls heart almost never works

Wicked rouge, The headmaster, InSight of you. These games have really engaging stories and satisfying lewd content and the games you mentioned I found myself overrated, but that's my opinion. HS tutor if you like koikatsu.

Once in a lifetime. no contest
You know it's funny, I've played almost every game on there except from once in a lifetime because the intro kinda underwhelmed me compared to the others. But I keep seeing it get highly rated by everyone who loves the same games I do. I should probably give it a fair chance :HideThePain:

1. A (to me) surprisingly large amount of people simply skip Honey Select games without even looking at them, as they prefer the more „realistic“ look of DAZ renders.
There's a lot of truth to this. I was one of those people who constantly skipped over HS amd hand-drawn games in favor of DAZ games. This is actually the one that broke my prejudice on HS games

I don't think theyre overrated at least not most of them, theyre super popular for a reason. But we all have different tastes. HS tutor has lots of potential but the bad english really put me off, its not just typos but just the overall writing with words missing or in the wrong verb tense, like "you dum son of bitch". I havent played since 0.7 so it probably improved

To explain why I find this games overrated will be too much offtopic, so yeah, lets stop on the thing that to each their own.
As for HS tutor, well, maybe for native speaker it's an eyebleeding thing, but I found his writing funny. Yes it can be wrong with grammar and phrasing, but I laughed pretty much loud when the MC was fucking his sister at night, while her friend was in the same room and heard all this, she said: -They fucking maniacs!,- and her face expression was mixed with horror and surprise, lol. Yeah she probably should say "lunatics", but this way was funnier. Pretty much realistic reaction for a porn game :D

You can influence who wins each week of the actual exhibition, but the little contest in the prologue is a vehicle for establishing Veronica's character and properly introducing the club. With how the exhibitions are set up, having the third carnation be player determinant would be a crazy prohibitive amount of work.

Sure I see how that would be... kinda sucks cuz Lucy was so amazing. I haven't looked at a walkthrough so dont know if she comes back or not. She has been my favorite so far

That is good...her and Kat(even though she is older) really have been the best parts so far. Aside from MC mom who is a bombshell as well but I dont see incest creeping into the game...I really hate killian...he is a turd
Nah man I love Killian. Without him we wouldn't have met Mina :devilish:.

Yeah, after playing Pale Carnations I decided to try other HS stuff. I played a few and they were so utterly forgettable that I wouldn't even be able to give you the titles :) My point is if you don't like HS then you'll probably still not like it because there aren't any games that are of Pale Carnations level of quality. This game is just so good in terms of story, premise and model quality that the engine almost doesn't matter.

But don't take my word for it. Try other HS games, just don't be surprised :)
