wanting wings releases on steam tomorrow

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2685610/Wanting_Wings/

this is one of the best yuri vns i've ever read. incredibly funny, has a very stupid and relatable sense of humor. the characters are very well defined, they all behave in very understandable ways and play with the common dynamics of the sort of slice of life anime trio they're set up as. the way each route explores them and how being in a relationship, or the outside observer to a relationship, changes the ways they act around others, is very well thought out and it has a genuine interest in exploring homosexuality, personally and a bit societally as well. if it's anything like the existing mangagamer release it includes the sequel, which is as good or even better and does a lot to flesh out one of the characters as well as introducing a new one who i really like. the drama it goes into does a great job threading a line of being small scale enough not to overturn the more relaxed atmosphere of the story, but grounded enough to make sense as things people in these sorts of relationships would believably encounter in real life. if you enjoy lesbian romance and slice of life stories with a decent bit of drama, this is far and away one of the best of its kind.

if you don't use the r18 patch for this release i wouldn't say you lose out on too much, the stuff they'll likely have removed has funny dialog and the game's frankness towards sexuality in general can be pretty funny but it's just a handful of pretty short scenes.

I'm reading through White Album 2 right now, and it's actually incredibly solid. I wonder if we'll see a steam release.

It's good so far, but would benefit from not showing me extended map/door cutscenes

yeah that poo poo is crazy, it's been a complaint since the original release in 2012 and it has never been changed

maybe its not an easy change but it never stops forcing you to watch it even on further playthroughs

I understand why they constantly show it, so you have a good sense of the layout of the facility for multiple routes and know where characters are if you put down the game for an extended period, but yeah it's a massive timesink. In a full playthrough the total runtime of just those transition screens winds up being just over an hour.

Well, this was a fairly amusing happening in the last few days.


https://x.com/jastusa/status/1778077901268607312

Completely sold out of both versions shortly thereafter.



Also with this amusing response to game reporters later in the day.

quote:

"Yes, that post on X dot com was a hyperbolic joke and I am kind of terrified by how many people took it at face value. I may need your help and that of the gaming press at large to inform the world that I'm not changing the name of our company to Dave's Fumo Emporium to focus on one single product SKU to the exclusion of all others."



edit: On the extremely remote off-chance someone in this thread has somehow never heard of this famous/infamous 20+ year old VN written by Gen Urobuchi, absolutely do not go looking for it beyond just looking at the fumos unless you're very much prepared.
