Neat, I think we’ve managed to find a VN dating sim for @hivefleetbothan
it promises “explicit insect-ual content”
Out of the first tier only Highway Blossom contains anything explicit and only if you patch it.
For tier 2
Ladykiller in a bind the only one with sex scenes and some rape scenes, though all should be avoidable. But worse than that the character art looks really kind of wonky.
Though I suppose you could claim Genital jousting is nothing BUT sex scenes of a non-consensual nature.
Tier 3
G-senjou no Maou - Good mystery VN from what I’m told, featuring actual detective work. Unclear on the state of the 18+ patch as they’ve said they’re working on it. The widescreen version is possibly just the 4:3 visuals cut down to size so that’s kind of weird.
Sunrider - A pretty decent series of VN dating sim/turn based tactical combat sci-fi games. All 3 titles have 18+ patches to be had.
4th tier
Clannad - Old classic highly regarded VN. Nothing explicit going on here but the art is very old style anime which might look a little weird today. If you like romantic stories though it’s one you should probably have a go with.
All in all I think the 3rd tier might be a good pick this time around, if this is the sort of content you’re looking for. I probably wouldn’t bother with the BTA tier but maybe worth tossing $1 at highway blossom if you want some awkward lesbians.
I am a big fan of Christine Love works, especially the two Hate Story explorative visual novels. But Killer In a Bind looks like it’s not my cup of tea, even though I’ve seen the writing and know it’s brilliant, as always. Maybe I’ll just grab the first tier this time.
