Full disclaimer: I was a beta-tester for this game and I'm in the credits. Rose Seed Replica is pretty good! It's also really hard to describe, as it turns out. I guess calling it a lesbian love story first and an adventure game second might be accurate enough. A big draw of the game is the many branching paths within it. These paths do tend to converge after a point, but there's a ton of dialogue to see and hunt for across multiple playthroughs. Personally speaking, I did four playthroughs, one for each of the advertised romance types. I still definitely missed out on a lot of dialogue. It's a cute game that's earnest and experimental. I will say that if you're a hardcore point and click adventure game person, Rose Seed Replica is very casual. It's impossible to get stuck, and there isn't much in the way of puzzle solving. The main gameplay loop basically revolves around finding as much dialogue as you can, especially on the first playthrough where you're less sure of what's optional and what isn't and are likely focused on finding dialogue that advances the story. From the second playthrough onwards, the main appeal shifts somewhat to deliberately finding as much optional dialogue as possible before advancing the plot. It tends to be fun to read and there are a few scenes that are incredibly obscure to find. But there's a lot of satisfaction in finding them. Also if you're just looking for a fluffy and gay romance story, this is the game for you. There is some drama that varies depending on the romance type and choices you make, but at the end of the day it's a story about sweet love. I'd recommend giving it a go if the premise interests you at all.

I'll take cute fuzzy yuri romance, but with a side of existential quandary, please, Alex. This one definitely gets chalked up as a "hidden gem" in my books. It doesn't look like many people have found it yet, which is unfortunate, as it has some really interesting writing -- both in terms of subject matter and in how unusual (and yet somehow still [b]real[/b]) some of the reactions and story beats are. And many of the choices and questions may make you re-evaluate your own views on various topics. The gameplay is fairly straightforward -- it is a pixel-art-style point and click adventure (while technically including an inventory, it's minimal and automatic and you're never left rubbing random objects together to see what happens), set over a small set of rooms where most of the time you're just talking to the available cast of other characters (although there are also a couple of mini-games for variety). There's a bit of a real-time mechanic as well, where a clock in the corner counts up and certain events only happen at certain times, but you never feel rushed; each character will only talk to you a certain number of times each day but you can advance to the next day whenever you want and you don't have a limited number of days to progress the story. There's never really any point where you might get stuck not knowing how to continue. At time of writing I've only completed one route, but I'm sufficiently intrigued that I will likely keep playing to see what the other paths hold. (Mild spoilers for the very start only: [spoiler]Initially it might seem weird from the outside when (following what is essentially a kidnapping in the opening scenes) it's the kidnapper who has an emotional breakdown and is comforted by their victim... and yet once you learn a bit more about both of their characters, this makes perfect sense.[/spoiler])
I forget why I grabbed this years ago but it's laughable to me how there's no guide on getting every ending this title has. Then again maybe there's no one willing to put themselves through this enough to do so, who knows. It's also one of those titles that tries to be like the Ye Olde point n click adventure titles but it somehow manages to fall flat on its face hard on that too. Until the former is somehow created, I will not return to this.
The most heartwarming story I've ever seen in a lesbian game. There's also an underplot as to how the girls ended up where they did, but it's not the main focus of the game. Also, there's a few strange glitches that can occur that seem to be related to the fast forward button, but they don't break the game or anything.
There are many games I honestly couldn't wait to be done with... and then there are those precious few examples where I just didn't want the story to end. [i]Rose Seed Replica[/i] was undeniably among the latter, what with its a heartwarming tale of love at the other end of the galaxy and all. Quite the varied cast of characters too, each with their own unique quirks that, well, made them that much more relatable. The entire thing plays out like a point 'n click adventure/interactive fiction hybrid with a healthy chunk of replay value and enough drama - that is to say, very little - to build character(s), yet never so much that it gets out of control, everyone screaming, doors slamming, tears flowing. Ah, the art style? Pixellated, sure, although at the same time it's pretty clear that attention to detail was prioritized, facial expressions changing according to the situation, making each scene feel as alive as possible within the confinements of 2D art. All in all, a lovely tale well worth the 4-5 hours it takes (and even more for those interested in every route - I'm definitely going back for those). That and it's likely the closest any of us are going to get to meet a cute girl that far away from home... so what if it's in a video game? ;) The full review can be found on [url=https://www.wraithkal.com/rose-seed-replica-review/]my blog[/url] Edit: Minor typos.

the hidden gem among hidden gems also very awkward at first, but i get used fast 10/10
Very heartwarming & fun to read. Lots of branches to explore. Simple yet cute art. Absolutely recommend.
Highly recommend this point and click that is very, very gay. It follows the story of some gay gals and has great representation generally, although I have some minor gripes about the gender as species metaphor for a seemingly trans character. The graphics are cute and the gameplay and minigames are relaxing, but I had some issues with the aspect ratio of the game, and with some finnicking I was able to resolve it but I'm unsure how specifically to do this though. 9/10
This game is not for everyone and is a little awkward, both in writing and in controls. The game feels pretty janky. However, the story is sweet and I enjoyed its quirky humour!
