Hey folks!

Alright, so I put a lot of restrictions on this originally, but I am going to say: "suggest a game, any game!"

The original post is in my spoilers below, along with a list of all the games I've played and remember.

You made a lot of restictions in this thread. Since Depraved Awakening is among your list I take that finished games are ok.
I recommend Sandstorm and sequel SnowStorm, Rebirth, Leap of Faith, Deliverance, Intertwined, The Intoxicating Flavor, Welcome to Free Will, Lancaster Boarding House, The Seven Realms, No More Secrets, Countess in Crimson, University of Problems and Where The Heart Is

Yeah, I am very picky about what I spend my time on. I don't like games where I play as a vampire so I didn't like Rebirth. I've tried and disliked Deliverance, The Intoxicating Flavor, and Welcome to Free Will. I will look at Sandstorm and Snowstorm, The Seven Realms, and Countess in Crimson (if the MC isn't a vampire). I've played and enjoyed the rest of your recommendations. Thank you!

Isabella: Dark Paths and A Father's Sins are both really good and are getting regular updates. I'm also a fan of We Were Just Kids, although dev is currently doing a rework.

If you like Eternum, I can recommend Once in a Lifetime.

I'll take a look at those three, don't think I've tried them.

If you like Eternum, I can recommend Once in a Lifetime.

I liked Once In a Lifetime but haven't been able to get into Eternum. Not a fan of the art style and I don't care for the game within a game aspect. I want to try it again and see if it pulls me in more.

Ok if you dont mind not having a lot of sex scenes or that you have to wait for your relationship to develop till you get to have sex i would recommend Price of Power and Hillside. It looks like we have a lot of similar interest and enjoy many of the same games and since i really liked those you might aswell. If you dont mind games in early development with not too many chapters out yet i would recommend Color of my Sound, Broken Promises and Race of Life (you are divorced because you cheated which put me off at first but the game overall is so amazing it didnt bother me enough to stop playing). I also really like Affexon, Dreams of Reality, Fates, Homelander, The Swordbearer, the Falling Reloaded and Long Road Home. Actually a lot of them are early development aswell so if you dont want them you can maybe check them out in the future when they got more content.

I've played both Price of Power and Hillside. I liked Hillside for awhile but stopped following it when the developer decided to reboot/redo the beginning. Price of Power was just boring to me. I didn't like the main love interest and how they were quickly thrown together.

Color of My Sound I've played but need to go back to..
Broken Promises I am unfamiliar with...
Race of Life I liked until they essentially fridged the daughter as motivation for the MC to race (which is fucking ridiculous because you don't make $5 million street racing. I liked the entire setup, the fact the MC wasn't flawless and had cheated on his wife, etc. Just not interested in the "daughter in coma needs experimental treatment" nonsense.
Affexion I don't recall...
Dreams of Reality I didn't like and the dev knows it...
Fates I am unfamiliar with...
Homelander is the same...
Swordbearer I've played and liked...
The Falling Reloaded I don't recall...
Long Road Home I stopped playing because I got the ending I wanted with the mom... Not interested in seeing how many women the MC can fuck as he founds a biker gang or whatever he was doing.

Any game in early development or even completed would be fine. Just nothing on hold or abandoned. A lot of the games I was playing have been abandoned and so I am looking for new ones to fill the holes.

Thank you for offering up a lot of different games, I do really appreciate it. I just happen to be very picky.

Well, I've just checked your list of preferences, and I know this suggestion crosses a lot of lines, so to speak... But I strongly suggest playing Pale Carnations.

Here's why: your preferences are a lot similar to mine, and yet Pale Carnations is one of my favorite AVNs of all time. Because it's an incredibly well written story, and despite the game making me uncomfortable more often than not, the characters and their development captivated me like nothing before. Plus, the next update should be dropping very soon, in the next two weeks I think, and that's always a plus!

So, give it a spin, and let us know what you though of it!

I've played it and don't like it. I am not a fan of coercive sex or BDSM which is what 90% of the game is about, if I could have the MC avoid that and only pursue the bartender then I would be interested in continuing the game. But it is not going to change for one person (nor should it) so I discontinued playing it awhile ago.
