Yearning: A Gay Story

I've only been playing the game for two hours, but I wanted to give a quick review. First of all I can't believe that this is a FREE GAME! I've paid for LGBTQ+ games that aren't even half as polished as this one. The only minor complaint I can think of at this time is the inability to cancel decisions that you regret. You basically have to go back to the last save point. My advice right now is to save frequently. I will comment again when I've finished the game! Great game so far with great dialog! Update after finishing first playthrough, and earning the new mode. Excellent game. I will definitely be checking out the sequel after this next playthrough.

No. Not even for free. I tried to play & record this for a vid in June 2025 for pride month but I got 40 mins in & I was so freakin bored with it, I knew it would not be worth finishing, editing & releasing to my viewers. I'm cleaning out old recordings (Dec 2025) & came across this one where, on the start of Aug 28th in the game, my last words of the 40 min recording were "I dunno, this is kinda borin'. I dont' think I like it." End recording LOL. It's basically reading text on a handful of boring, non animated backgrounds. The story has no depth nor eludes that it will pick up at any time. The character art was nice but this game did not jazz me up in any sort of way. As a connoisseur of Free to Play games, I think this was probably my least favorite so far.
