Hey Tlaero.... So nice to see you here!!
Thank you, Nersão. I'm happy to be here.

I think you are mistaken, visual novels were developed in west even before she "invented" it. the first game as far as I have seen is "Gamma Force in Pit Of A Thousand Screams" It's released in even before I born -1988.
I'm not saying that Ariane invented erotic games. I remember playing a variant of Strip Poker on my Apple //e in '84 or '85. I'm also not saying that Ariane invented visual novels. I played a number of them before her first game came out. But Chaotic's early games weren't inspired by the Visual Novels of the time. They were inspired by Virtual Date Ariane. Similarly, my early games were also inspired by Ariane, not other Visual Novels.

I recognize that this is a tautology, but what I'm really saying is that it's my opinion that Ariane invented a new genre, one that could easily be called "ArianeB-style games," and that many of us have been working in that genre. Again, she's too modest to call it hers, but, at the very least, those of us who followed were unquestionably standing on the shoulders of a giant.

That said, I don't intend to devolve this discussion into an argument of the proper classification of "Visual Novels." I'm just trying to point out Ariane's contribution to the space. Many of the games that people enjoy today simply wouldn't have happened without her.

I played the OG game the day it came out, and am a fan of their work. Almost all western ero games at that point were made in flash and it was difficult to actually make a decent erotic game if you were an amateur. Ariane was done in a style that isn't super difficult if you aren't tech savy but good at telling stories. It created a whole new subgenre of games in that style that were not done before.

Well... Redemption for Jessica was one of the games that got me to developing, so I guess we all get our inspiration from someone else. I thank you, happy to find you here on F95 :)

Hm, gotta say this might actually be a bit too political correct for me.

Asexual, pansexual whateversexual, all fine with me, but not in a porn game please, at least not the first one.

I like the writing I like the unusual approach to a relationship, but no, this ending doesn't work at all.
I mean, Ariane, given her character in a relationship with someone asexual, that's so not her and also not very convincing.
Anyway, it might work as a plain VN (but even as that I find it relatively boring), but I'm not sure it really fits into this site.
Certainly not my cup of tea.

So nice to see more Yuri titles on here ^^

Thank Christ there isn't a "ZOMG I was raped!" mechanic anywhere in sight. A dickbomb would have ruined this!

Yes, there are her first game Date Ariane and the sequence to this one called Something's in the Air.
Both are very good ones and as I wrote in the first comment, if you didn't play those ones I really recommend you to do NOT play this one too. Go play those ones first, then these game will make sense.

I absolutely love Ariane in every way, as she's kinda my "first" hehee
I liked this story. Sure doesn't have much naughtiness as in previous games, but I enjoyed the relationship between Ariane and Rachel.
Can't wait for the next Ariane game, whenver it's done

Now it makes me want to play Date Ariane and Something's in the Air as female.
