I’ve seen the trailer for Coffee Talk. From what I know, it’s pretty similar to VA-11 Hall-A, which I’ve heard is good.
I should probably actually talk about some of these though, since people don’t really have any idea.
Butterfly Soup is a story about four teenage Asian-American girl’s named Diyah, Noelle, Akarsha, and Min who go on a journey of self-realization and become closer through the sport of baseball. It’s pretty wholesome and cute, although that isn’t to say there are moments where it gets rough, especially with Noelle’s and Min’s parents.
Secret Little Haven is about a teenage trans woman named Alex who realizes she’s a girl through her friends online on a forum for a magical girl anime. It isn’t a traditional visual novel however as the main interface you look at the world through is a late 90s desktop computer. One of the main things is that it has some pretty intense gaslighting sequences whenever your character talks with their father-it does not shy away from the reality of how terrible a father can be even when they don’t use any physical force.
Highway Blossoms is a yuri game about a young woman named Amber traveling to a concert in California after her grandfather died finding a girl at the side of the road and going on a life-changing road trip where they find treasure and grow closer to each other. As I’ve mentioned before, the two main character are very adorable and it has voice acting that is actually pretty good. It also even has an 18+ patch, for all of you who want something a bit more spicy. It is also made by the same people who created Heart in the Woods, so if you like that, you might enjoy this.
Signs of the Sojourner is a RPG where you play as a young woman whose mother recently passed away and has to take up her mantle as a trader. It is set over a period of 5 months, where each one takes you on a trip around the land searching for goods to bring back to town. I didn’t do to well at this (since I don’t have a lot of experience with deckbuilding games) and I think I got one of the worse endings. Still, I do think it’s interesting, and might be something to check out if you want something with more gameplay.
one night, hot spring is about a transgender woman named Haru going to a hot spring with her friends. Despite being only 30 minutes long, it’s able to have some pretty deep stuff in it. It’s sequels, last day of spring and spring leaves no flowers, are similar and further explore the topics presented in the initial game. The last one even reveals one of the characters who might have initially seemed “normal” is aromantic and asexual, and says how that is perfectly fine.
Anyway, I suppose I’ll check some of these out.
