Glow of Honeydew

I want things to be different. I want things to be okay. I cry a lot. I always do. I'm sorry

Interesting yuri visual novel with gorgeous presentation. I love the art, it's very stylised and suits the unsettling narrative perfectly. The resolution and the flower border which changes colours throughout the story are all very aesthetically pleasing. Unlike a usual VN, this one doesn't have static sprites on still backgrounds: it's told entirely in CGs, which makes it more ~immersive~ The story deals with some pretty dark topics but does so in a thought-provoking way. The story largely seems to be a commentary on the porn industry, and how it uses up women, treats them as being disposable, and spits them out. Some girls might survive, but everybody can't be so fortunate. It's a melancholic story with a suitably moody soundtrack, and while it only has two key characters, they're both interesting (and they have cute designs too). The story is a bit short (I finished it in about 30 mins) but it's clear a lot of love went into it, from the art to the music and the story, and I don't think it needs to be any longer than it is. It's worth the price for all the passion poured into it and it's an easy rec for anybody who wants a discomforting yuri story with some horror vibes.

Really beautiful. they should make more girls

A very well written short kinetic story, deeply sad and unsettling. It's also aesthetically fantastic, I really really love the style. Not a porn visual novel (in the meaning that it's written to be titillating), but more a story *about* porn/sex work. After you finish it don't forget to download the free artbook dlc, I really appreciated reading the authors' comments.

[h1]8.5[/h1] [h2]The lesbian equivalent of a male autistic gooner’s life.[/h2] This is a pretty good story with a small scope. The characters are interesting, and the MC is a little funny and goofy, and in my case, I found her very relatable too. It's a story with drama and mystery that mixes more grounded, personal moments with some symbolic narrative. It has around 2–3 sexual scenes, but it's overall pretty toned down, partly because of the art style - [b]this is definitely not a porn game[/b]. The presentation is pretty simple, but it has some pretty good imagery, and the art style is pretty cute too. Also, the soundtrack is really good, I loved it. Pretty short game, like an hour or so. I really recommend it—even if you’re not into yuri/lesbian content, it’s still very enjoyable for anyone and definitely worth your time.

wonderful, profoundly sad story on sapphic love and s*ex work industry. i really enjoyed my time with the game! thank you!

its so beautiful it almost be giving the Virgin Suicides

I felt like I was looking into a mirror with Tels, superb writing across the board. Plus the soundtrack is excellent.

pathetic stalker girlfailure x burned out sex worker doomed yuri. 'nuff said. Short experience but definitely not a feel-good story. This game does a great job of being unsettling before you have the information you need to understand The Creepy Stuff. The UI is quite pretty! They managed to throw in some really cool details and foreshadowing within the UI that you don't understand until after you've finished the story. I think that's awesome! The art style change during [spoiler]the sex[/spoiler] is SUPER cool. Up to this point the game has a very unique artistic style that is consistent across all of the CGs (the entire novel is CGs btw) and yet when tels begins to feel some strong [spoiler]panic and disassociation[/spoiler] the scenes immediately become very abstract-looking. This is such a cool way to convey that!! The sudden change of the style does a lot to help you really [i]feel[/i] her feelings in that moment. Speaking of tels, i found her to be more relatable than i was expecting despite me not being much like her. I really wish that the story was a little longer and that we came to know kit a little better. I understand that we are intentionally not told much about her in order to drive home how her identity is slowly drained from her by the porn industry [spoiler]until she literally has all her humanity drained and her body used as a template for what are basically sex-bots[/spoiler]. but still........... The scene where [spoiler]tels finds the flower girls buried in the ground[/spoiler] was genuinely shocking to me visually, even though the CG truly isn't graphic or gory at all. Even though the game [spoiler]had been setting up this supernatural plant drug thing[/spoiler] for a while, the visual and the accompanying reveal truly took me by surprise. good ♥♥♥♥!! you should read it if it sounds interesting!!! do it now!!!!

Woah... I knew I'd be in for something unique just from the art style and music within the trailer, but I didn't expect something so surreal. The story was beautiful and left me high-key wistful. I want more lol. The characters are stunning too, both Kit and Tels are grounded in reality in a "literally me" sense, despite all of the obvious differences. I'll have to read this at least two more times for sure, I love Kit and Tels <33
