I found this randomly on Steam and ended up really liking it!

I still haven't completely finished it yet, but I'm pretty impressed by how long and interesting the story is. The more you go the more mysteries come up and you want to know more.

The characters are lovely and I really like the 2D/3D style. Give it a try!

On the night before her wedding, Princess Amaia of Steinna whispers a wish she thinks will be unheard. The moment she pronounces thse words, "I don't want to marry him", a dragon appears and, in a pure fairy tale fashion, kidnaps the Princess, trapping her in a tower. Surprisingly enough, the dragon, named Happho, is rather sympathetic and claims she wants to set Amaia free from her tyrannic fiancé, Azaiah, of whom the Princess of Steinna seems frightened... Can Amaia really trust her jailor? And in the end, who will save the Princess?

Game also has content warnings. They are spoilery, so

Review by nookgaming

I came across a game like that today. Think the stuff on https://choiceofgames.com/ (pick anything and play a few chapters to get an idea of it). Are they welcome here if they have illustrations? After all, who says visual novel must fit the usual UI scheme of picture taking up the whole screen, text box at the bottom, and popups for choices? But then again, I can see taking issue with "well how many times do illustrations show up?" and wanting to keep VNs separate from things that do not advertise themselves as such. In the end it is not my community, so I am asking what I should do here.

It will launch on July 25, 2025 on Switch

webrings are so cool

full disclosure [email protected] taught me about webrings in general (they did not bring me this specific yuri webring) and it's wild having come across one outside of there, gives me hope for more random folks hosting websites about their interests again

I tried reaching the mod a week ago to update this community's sidebar, but they haven't answered, and apparently haven't been active/posted anything in half a year. Do we need to contact the ani.social admins to find a new one? (any volunteers?)

... Judging by the tags, premise and overall vibes I doubt how "friendly" this lab is going to be, but I'm kind of intrigued tbh

I only found one review/guide on this, and apparently this was originally a mobile game. Also, there's an interesting mechanic where you only influence the story by presenting items to the main characters? It looks like some kind of pet simulation 🤔

Synopsis:
When Paige purchases an old house out in the English countryside, she thinks it'll be the perfect opportunity for her to focus on her next novel. Deadlines are hanging over her head, and she needs all the help she can get. What she isn't expecting is for excitement and inspiration to come in the form of Fay, a friendly fairy who's occupied the house far longer than Paige has.

They are actively searching for a producer right now, according to the statement on the Steam page. First time I'm seeing something like this^^;
