Steam To Get Steamy With an Uncensored Yuri Game - Update

[Denamic]

I'm not sure how to feel about this. On one had, I'd never play the game anyway so what do I care?
On the other hand, porn? On Steam? Oh yeah, that's not going to get abused royally, no.

It's not porn. It's a romance VN with erotic scenes.

Well it's yuri, moe, and on steam, so thats three of my selling points right there; hopefully its good. I find yuri romances (and few yaoi ones) oddly more compelling than straight ones, mostly because the majority of japanese writers can't make an interesting male hero/protagonist for balls.

Rather than give them, y'know, depth or personality they instead give them archetypes to build their characters off of: the Noble but Awkward type, the Smug, Arrogant Prick, and the Angsty one. Say what you want about the female ones but at least they TRY to make them interesting, if for no other reason than to question the players as to why the find the protagonist desirable... well, other than him being the protagonist.

Honestly, I'm interested. Even if it's a Yuri kind of thing, I can't seem to find any visual novels made specifically for women. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough, but I simply can't find them.

I quite enjoy visual novels, so if anyone has any suggestions for any VNs staring a female lead, be they heterosexual or otherwise, I'd be delighted to receive some recommendations.

There's always Hatoful Boyfriend. I mean, the game has some other... uh, quirks, which I won't spoil for you, but it is definitely a romantic VN with a human female lead.

P.S. Thanks

That's a distinction without a difference. People are still going to abuse a system that allows "adult, erotic" scenes. Ever been to Greenlight? Trust me, they'll find a way.

You know, if they're going to start putting pornographic content on Steam, they could at least stay away from underage teenagers. Bishoujo is not the be all and end all, some of us find adult women to be quite beautiful.

Crap, ninja'd. No matter, it bears repeating.

"It's great to see our years of effort finally paying off as visual novels containing adult content gain more mainstream acceptance and recognition as a valuable medium for artistic expression,"

I lost it there.

Just jerk off to it and stop trying to fool yourselves into thinking it's for any other reason.

Whatever. You want to get immersed in the erotic scenario but in the end you're cumming all the same.

Is the weather nice up there on your high horse? Visual novels with erotic scenes are no different than that of mainstream media in the west - Game of Thrones, hell, even the Walking Dead should be thrown out of the zeitgeist by your statement. So should a ton of literature.

 

[WarpedMind]

I, for one, welcome our new porn game overlords.

Ahem...

Anyway, I don't see the issue, I honestly don't think there'd really be a problem with Steam actually selling full-on porn games as long as they just walled it off.

Obviously it'd be a PR problem in the larger context, but eh.

The Witcher 3 isn't a porn game. It's an RPG with erotic scenes.
But that's apparently a distinction without a difference.

How about Yaoi too? I mean it's only fair.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Sounds a lot like Figures of Happiness, except as a yuri story. And with better artwork.

Definitely a plus in my book.

I may get this because I'm a sucker for cheap romance.

Yeah, that explanation didn't work when I tried to explain why I had Katawa Shoujo either.

I'm mainly confused because I've never associated the words "cheap" and "Katawa Shoujo" together. Unless you specifically meant the money sense.

It just grinds my gears when people tip their glasses and cry "I READ EROTIC VISUAL NOVELS FOR THE STORY."

No you don't, Jim. No you don't.

Happily, my name is not Jim, so you don't get dinged for inaccuracy on that one.

Remember everyone:

Mortal combat X is ooooooookay

But fictional anime boobies? IN MY STEAM! YOU MONSTERS!

Ill go back to ripping peoples spines out and holding their heads up like trophies... much more "adult" then some softcore porno pictures in a VN why thank you.

Seriously people.. get your priorities straight.

Everyone who feels weirded out about this should take a good close look at what is depicted in other "adult" titles. Now whats more questionable? Some anime softcore pics or getting sawed in half by a buzzsaw?

Get to grips with your own sexuality and stop treating it like something everyone should be ashamed about.

You must jerk off to erotic visual novels and fool yourself into thinking it's for the story. I'm sorry I offended you. Game of Thrones and the Walking Dead aren't centred around their erotic elements. The salacious scenes are elements of the mature story's candid presentation. One particular Walking Dead visual novel rape scene was there to portray an antagonist's depravity in a world free of laws and ostensibly free of morals. Although frankly I think GoT overdoes the boobs for views, it still takes a backseat.

Ayako-san blushing furiously because you're the new kid at school and she didn't wear her bra today, on the other hand, is pretty much just about the sex.

If you prefer the illusion remain unshattered, by all means feel free to ignore this post and everything I say. I don't claim to be on a high horse, I jerk off just like everyone else and believe you me I jerk off to some weird shit. It just grinds my gears when people tip their glasses and cry "I READ EROTIC VISUAL NOVELS FOR THE STORY."

No you don't, Jim. No you don't.

Yes... yes I do. Katawa Shoujo's scenes are unfappable as all hell for me but the stories were worth reading.

I don't know what Visual Novels you have played that do have erotic scenes, or even if you have, but you clearly haven't played any good ones. I could jerk off to hentai or other porn any time I want. Why click through a bunch of text for a scene that generally isn't well drawn with cheesy music and bad voice acting? I for one enjoy seeing erotica in a story about human relationships, 'cause ya know, that's a part of it. The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and literally hundreds of other novels, comics, and even fucking video games have erotica in them, yet I do not see you crying foul on them for it. Don't sit there and tell me that a Game of Thrones has erotic scenes centered around characters and story when they are just making up sex scenes that never happened in the book so they can have them on the show and Martin is randomly inserting graphically described lesbian sex scenes between two characters that made zero sense. He just wanted a scene like that.

There is no illusion for you to shatter; I DO read visual novels with erotic content in them for the story - the proof of this is that I once stayed up until 7 in the morning finishing up G-Senjou no Maou, one of the best stories I have read in any medium, even though I knew there would be no more erotic scenes at all. I could care less if that grinds your gears or if you don't believe me. You've said your two-cents on the matter and it seems we'll simply have to agree to disagree.

Now there are certain visual novels on the market that are sold exclusively as porn and the plot is just a vague way to get the porn out there. I don't think anyone here would ever say that they played those for the plot. There are tons of bad ones out there, and I will be the first to admit that.

I'm with ya brother!

But yeah, the game sees like it could be interesting enough with or without the "porn" content.

How about Yaoi too? I mean it's only fair.

Y-You fujoshi! H-how can you taint something so pure as a yuri thread! (J/K)

----
So when is it actually out? 2016 is about the only thing I've seen mentioned, so I will probably forget about them game long before it comes out since it doesn't seem to be mentioned on Steam yet.

Side note, why do I get the feeling that the end of this game will be horribly bitter sweet, since two of the characters are ghosts who want to experience love. That just sets itself up for tragedy.

 

[Erttheking]

Here's hoping it's the natural progression of relationships and not just shoehorned in smut. That's a major buzzkill for me in stories.

 

[Erttheking]

Please tell me more about how much you understand how other people enjoy media better than they themselves do.

 

[chadachada123]

Yuri? On Steam? Count me in. Female-female relationships in Japanese media always seem to have a lot more character, since when it includes a guy that guy always ends up being the generic male protagonist. This seems like it has the potential to be a good, heart-warming (or even heart-wrenching) story. With ghost tits.

 

[kuolonen]

I can honestly say I didn't expect to see the day when erogames landed on steam, though some softcore yuri title only barely qualifies. When we start getting the really bonkers uncensored nukige games into steam, then the fat shoujou may sing.

Hmm, is this what hipsters feel when their favorite band starts going mainstream?
