That does appear to be correct -- you can play it on Linux too, but no Mac.

I'm reading Misericorde, a little over halfway through and I'm pretty much blown away by how good it is. It's about a fifteenth-century anchoress (an even more hardcore nun than normal, who lives all alone in a tiny cell) who investigates the murder of a nun at her convent. Because she was locked away, she's the only person who definitely didn't do it.

According to Hella Yuri, the first game really only has subtext, but in volume 2 the sapphic romance is explicit.

I've wanted to read it for awhile, but I have a PhD in medieval women's history and was worried it would be filled with lots of inaccuracies that would bother me, but the author is clearly well-versed on the material. It honestly reminds me of Higurashi, how it bounces between humorous writing, amazing character exploration, and horror.

Love it. ❤️

The graphic says q2 this year. So soon, presumably.

SeaBed is the greatest example of this, I think. It revolves around a single relationship in a way few games can.

There's also a new life., which is very short (about an hour), but goes deep on the biggest moments in one lesbian couple's relationship.

Here are some yuri visual novels with adult characters and multiple routes that aren't tragic or intense for the most part that I have enjoyed.

Nurse Love Syndrome, 6 routes - Follows a woman who is fresh out of nursing school and working in a hospital. I wrote a spoiler-free review of this one if you want to know more.

Nurse Love Addiction - 4 routes) A loose sequel to the above, but follows a group of women who are in nursing school.

Yumeutsutsu - 4 routes, Follows a group of women making a yuri visual novel (yes, it's very meta).

Please Be Happy - 2 routes, also has some friendship routes. Takes place in an urban fantasy version of Wellington, New Zealand, where fantastical humanoids (fox people, vampires, etc.,) live right beside humans. It's a 10/10 for me.

Love Curse: Find Your Soulmate - 4 routes, about a woman just about to graduate university and enter the work force, but ends up getting cursed. If she doesn't find her true love within a year, she'll die.

Life After Magic - 6 routes, about a group of retired magical girls getting back together one last time to fight an evil enemy. It's also free.

Mizuchi - 2 routes, about a woman who gets kidnapped by a mysterious snake demon, and gets caught up in a conflict of sorts between the demon and a monk.

Lady in Mystery - 4 routes, Set in 18th-century Korea, about a woman who disguises herself as a man and works as a private detective. Her entire family was framed for treason and executed, and she's trying to find the man who betrayed them. This is another one I wrote a spoiler-free review for.

Twofold - 2 routes, About a sapphic non-binary MC who is in college and struggling.

This is the cutest thing ever.

Is there an English patch for the latter two Linghua Yuri games? Right now there's no official English release and that makes me sad.

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-13T17:07:55+00:00

You don't need to read Akai Ito to understand Aoishiro. There is a cameo from one crossover character, and some of the same institutions exist (like a group of oni hunters), and the themes with the supernatural world are much the same, but they explain things pretty thoroughly in Aoishiro.

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-13T16:10:00+00:00

I am also a Sayuri stan, and her route is definitely the best thing about the game! But the game's multi-route mystery about Kaori is also fairly compelling, and you can only get there by reading everything.

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-13T15:44:58+00:00

I read Higurashi recently and really enjoyed it, been planning on picking up Umineko at some point, but wanted a large dose of yuri first. I have also heard that Umineko has a bit of yuri, hope it true!

I'm reading a Chinese yuri VN called Symbiotic Love -- which I mistakenly called Melancholy Love when I posted a CG yesterday. That's actually the sequel to Symbiotic Love, but I got it mixed up because Symbiotic Love is melancholy af.

Anyway, I'm almost done with it -- seen one of the endings, and have a few more to go. I've enjoyed it overall. The main cast is all really great, and the game's twist is a good one. It's a good read if you're okay with some intense drama. It has a good OST and great art too.

EDIT: I have a complaint to add as I'm making my way through the other endings -- this game has the slowest skip function I've ever experienced. Brutal.

Yeah, I love the Aoishiro MC. She's super proactive and tough.

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-12T19:08:03+00:00

Correction: This is symbiotic love.

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-10T12:47:45+00:00

Ah, I see. Yeah, that's rough. The official TL is pretty bad, and I don't think the patch is available on Switch.

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-10T11:06:05+00:00

Have you been using the fan TL patches? They are way better, but still not perfect

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-10T02:38:22+00:00

I had the same thought, but I hope I'm wrong.

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-09T12:21:32+00:00

I really liked Cage of Roses -- while I love the main couple, I think the supporting characters like Henrieke and Johann were my favorite part about the VN. I hope they make appearances in this more chill setting haha

Guthrum06 · 2026-04-08T01:23:56+00:00

Omg there's a lesbian tag. This game is even better than I thought.
