Chinese indie developer SakuraGame (not related to Sakura Something maker Winged Cloud) yet again test the limit of lewdness allowed in Steam (NSFW screenshots):

“I have no money…”

Sakura’s parents used to give her only a little money for her living costs. Now they don’t give her money anymore, so Sakura has no choice but to find a part-time job. She has to work part-time to earn money and meanwhile goes to school. All of her classmates think that Sakura doesn’t like talks, and they don’t know what she is thinking about at ordinary times. In fact, there is always a dream in Sakura’s heart, that is, to get out of poverty and become rich. She has been striving to realize her dream all the time.

You decide what sakura need to do every day, go to school, or go to work, in addition you can decide to let her wear that dress. In the school will encounter a lot of strange people, how to face the sudden occurrence of these need you to choose.

Never heard of this game before though. How lewd is it?

Well it's not outright porn, but it tries it's damnest to get as close as possible while still being able to be sold on the Vita. Without being too weird, they leave very little to the imagination and the rubbing minigame is as "suggestive" as a gun to the head. Par for the course for compile heart.

That said, there's a lot dreadfully boring inter-dialogue between comedy and lewd bits that's another trademark for the devs. As for the gameplay itself, it's a pretty standard Japanese dungeon crawler, that's definitely on the simpler side. There's a lot of VN-like talking. A lot. Fuck-ton. It's really bad.

 

[Hirato]

Speaking of VNs, there's a humble bundle running right now that's full of weeb trash japanese style visual novels, like Nekopara.

 

[LESS T_T]

It's out now.

XSEED E3 trailers:

Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection:



Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, a side-scrolling action game by the developer of Astebreed:

 

[Hobo Elf]

Sakuna looks decent. Zwei looks like a babbified Ys.

 

[Momock]

Sakuna looked decent... until the farming part.

 

[Cloud_Tifa]

I don't really know if i should pick G.U since i have finished the 3 disc version on ps2. I would buy if they add more content.

 

[Vorark]

GU was alright (although I hated that blond girl, forgot her name, she was so damn annoying). What I'd have liked was a remake or at least an improved port of the original .hack -- Infection, Mutation, Outbreak and Quarantine. The story was quite alright but dat gameplay, yikes. The anime .hack//SIGN was even better.

Serment - Contract with a Devil, dungeon crawler/visual novel/"yuri" dating sim hybrid made by Western dev and published by Sekai Project:



It has a demo on Steam.

Serment - Contract with a Devil (or Serment, for short) is a visual novel - dungeon crawler hybrid where you play as a girl who was revived by a beautiful devil.

Though, instead of claiming our heroine’s ever so cliche human soul, the devil demands a huge sum of money for payment. If the payment comes even one day late, the heroine's soul will return to the afterlife.

And so, her light-hearted, comedic adventure to save up enough money before the deadline begins.

Despite the dark sounding premise, the majority of Serment will be light-hearted slice of life events (more commonly known as cute girls doing cute things).

Game features:

• Cute anime girls!
  
• 4 playable main characters, each with their own unique story and endings.
  
• More than 20 side characters, each with their own personalities and subplots.
  
• Over 20 dungeon floors with manually designed puzzles and 200+ unique items to discover!
  
• A lot of cute anime girls!
  
• Turn-based RPG battles with simple mechanics but tons of depth.
  
• A detailed dating sim time management system.
  
• Cooking, crafting and fishing minigames!
  
• Light yuri (GxG) romance.
  
• Steam Achievements and Trading Cards.
  
• Did we mention that there will be cute anime girls?

 

[Siveon]

Well, that's the second yuri dungeon crawler on steam now.

 

[Viata]

Let this genre be a thing on steam, then.
