Marisa finally found out why she felt sore every time she woke up in the hakurei shrine

^me too

lol

I find this obsession with arbitrarily declaring characters "tops" and "bottoms" confusing.

^It's just one of those Shipper Things™ ┐( ˘_˘)┌

Good

Kindred Spirits was among the first batch of 'adult' games that were released on Steam. It was honestly quite the big news back then. There were some discussions among the industry people about Steam's pants-on-head-stupid policy regarding putting slightly adult themed games on their platform. The talk back then was that despite KS being very, very light on those so called adult situations (Titanic probably showed more than Kindred Spirits); Steam was still giving the publisher a lot of go around for a dang long time despite the publisher directly asking Steam what they needed to do to get it approved. So any games that were perceived to be "those kind" of adult games are still given a rather hard time to be put on Steam. Yes, present tense. Some are just outright DENIED for ??? reasons. Still present tense. Some of the VN from that period had all ages version PERIOD with no adult patches available at all until much later. For example G-senjou no Maou/The Devil on G-String, which is not a yuri title, was censored on steam and came out in late 2015. The adult patch was not available anywhere until 2019 or 2020 according to a steam forum post. Said patch is only available on the publisher's website Denpasoft. Another VN example is Song of Saya, censored version on Steam. Adult patch can only be purchased from JAST.

Basically VN might be auto censored on the developer/publisher's end to get around Steam's weird acceptance policy. Even in 2021 when I buy VN with actual adult themes in it, chances are there's a separate adult patch either on Steam or off site. This applies to western VN as well. Meanwhile downright hentai games are just... released as is usually. Steam is flippin' weird. Shovelware garbage titles get approved for much less...

If you are looking to purchase VN on Steam, based on pricing it's actually better if you just buy the uncensored version directly from the publisher's website if it's one of those titles with paid adult DLC. Although if you are just interested in trying out a VN to see if it's your cuppa, use Steam version to demo for -2 hours. Keep in mind that because of Steam's lack of transparent acceptance policy, potential yuri titles may also be outright rejected on steam despite being an all age title. I still don't understand why The Curse of Kudan is not on steam.

HUH?!?! PREVIOUS AND NEXT I KEEP ON CLICKING IT AND STAY IN THE SAME LOOP LMAO

You may not have the looks.
You may not have the dash.
But to win yourself a girl
If you only got a moustache
A moustache, a moustache
If you only got a moustache.

somehow Peg's art got even better looking

Wow

Excellent, I have now had it confirmed to me that the characters are actually gay. Very nice, I will be playing the game.

AMESAME HOT

Nobody is interested in Yuna x Nena? SMH my head.

In all seriousness though, I like all the pairings. Ano and Yuna have obvious chemistry that doesn't really need to be explained. Ano and Nena are friends outside of their relations to their other friend groups, and obviously you can't be friends in a yuri story without becoming girlfriends at some point. That's the rules.

I kinda like the idea of an aromantic Nena though. She has no time for girls! There's very important sleeping to be done! :P

That said, Miki x Seina is the ship I truly love. Sweet soft gf x smol stronk gf is too good. And Seina has that one scene that everyone loves of course.

Steam has no real policy about sexual content in games. Hell, they have no real policy about anything. They're at least as willing to sell your hentai jigsaw puzzle game with stolen assets that quietly mines cryptocurrency in the background as they are to sell something worth a damn.

Remember when valve made video games?

Me neither.

On topic: yeah the game is gay af.

^^Nice.

Does Ina count as a giant squid? She might need to watch herself around Chloe. Tako bout an Apex Predator! I'd need to s-ika therapist if they met.

I'm just surprised that the adventures of Yuki and Setsuna only occupy eight volumes. I'd expected at least 14.

^By the time I discovered Valve, they definitely had already stopped making new games

It helps that they're clearly in a love hotel.

So cute <3

the wound...it's not heal yet
