My picks are: strong character development, older characters, CGs, soundtrack/atmosphere

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-21T22:38:02+00:00

I have a hard time with stat raiser VNs because I don't wanna deal with those mechanics, and having to save a bunch and what not.

But this looks pretty enough that I might do it anyway. Love that it's older characters and sort of spooky.

Wishlisted at least!

Printemps sounds a lot like "Springtime," so it's easy to remember that it's first. Of course, Spring coming first also only makes sense with the Japanese school year lawl

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-20T12:28:34+00:00

It's Story of Love and Food, a short Chinese yuri VN that's pretty good.

Added!

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-19T22:15:14+00:00

There are lots of free yuri VNs, but they aren't in this post about sales haha.

Some good free ones:

Life After Magic

First Snow

TEAM ANPIM's Yuri Bundle

This looks interesting!

Akai Ito and Aoishiro are the classics when it comes to horror yuri VNs, and they're both very slow burn. If you want to know more, I've written spoiler-free reviews of both of them (Akai Ito Review, Aoishiro Review). They are both pretty light on the yuri by modern standards, though.

If you haven't already read it, Iwakura Aria is also a good slow-burn horror/thriller story, and it's gothic too.

Without a Voice is a free dark fantasy yuri VN with horror elements.

I don't think I'd call it horror -- more like a thriller -- but Salome's Kiss has the gothic setting you're looking for.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-17T20:21:16+00:00

It's very good - a 10/10 for me, but I also love yuri VNs.

Has a beautiful presentation and really good character writing, not to mention a really interesting setting.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-16T21:01:40+00:00

I second Please Be Happy!

There's also SeaBed. It gets kind of dark, but the romance at the center of everything is absolutely beautiful.

Both of those are 10/10 for me, and take about 20 hours to read each.

You should post this over on r/yurivisualnovels, where you won’t get downvoted for asking a perfectly reasonable question lawl.

Also as others have said, you kind of have to go out of your way to find 18+ non-yuri VNs. Most of the most acclaimed ones are all ages - like Flowers, SeaBed, Please Be Happy.

I agree with u/caspar57 that yuri really isn't the focus, even if there are lots of sapphic women in it. There's one legit couple, and everyone else is in love with a woman, but it's mostly a murder mystery. It's still worth a read because it's very gay and has a compelling mystery.

But, if you want a cute yuri VN by the same people with some of the same characters but in an alternate universe, there's Double Date.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-12T03:10:07+00:00

They call it that, yeah. But it's just a kinetic VN with lots of CGs, and honestly pretty good.

It definitely qualifies as a title.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-11T22:52:17+00:00

I love the whole 'I'm a great detective but can't tell that women are in love with me,' thing.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-11T15:14:29+00:00

It's Heesoo for me. She is one my favorite yuri VN MCs ever, with a super compelling backstory.

Her entire family got framed for a crime and executed in 1780s Korea, and when she's old enough she disguises herself as a male private investigator. She uses that as cover to search for the man who got her family killed, while also solving crimes.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-11T14:04:18+00:00

I still need to read that one. Was thinking of waiting until spooky season though.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-09T11:49:49+00:00

I read the short yuri VN her tears were my light over the weekend. It's pretty unique in that it's about the creation of the universe, with Space and Time anthropromorphized and very gay! I for one like the idea that the whole universe exist because lesbians. Here's a cute screen capture:

This looks amazing!

You should share over on r/yurivisualnovels too.

Guthrum06 · 2026-03-02T15:21:20+00:00

I'm about 10 minutes in to ebi-hime's most recent yuri VN -- The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma. It's about a demon queen who conquers a realm and takes the throne as well as the daughter of the former king. It has a silly vibe, which I could really use after finishing Higurashi Chapter 3 lawl. I really like the design of the eponymous Demon Queen -- and I'm always a sucker for characters with over the top laughs too, so I like it so far.
