Hi :) I was just wondering if you had any stories where there is a lesbian romance where it’s acknowledged that it’s not acceptable in that time period? some examples for the plot/romance could be the book The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Annabelle from Desire and decorum on choices. Thanks!

Hi Anon! Here are some games that could fit what you are looking for. If anyone has any further suggestions, feel free to reply and we'll add them to the list, thank you!

The protagonist is the warden from da origins, and I dont hate the Witcher per se, but the games just don't do anything for me.

Also A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986 is an amazing game if you like visual novels, and I will always reccomed it.

[TRANSLATION] Art and Piece Issue 16 - LESLIE X ALAN CHAN - Album Covers

1983 "Craziness" The first album where Alan Chan and Leslie worked together was Craziness. Notably, the waistcoat, shirt and bowtie were all borrowed personally from Alan Chan. "That outfit was from the Japanese brand Matsuda which was quite the craze back in the 80s and 90s. I still have it even today."

1985 "For Your Heart Only" When shooting the album cover, Gor-gor already had the whole scene envisioned in his head, even preparing his own outfit and arriving wearing the ring his lover gave him for photos. In the end, Alan Chan used a softer way to approach the cover, expressing Leslie's pure, loving side.

1984 "Leslie" At first, the album cover photoshoot was supposed to take place at Albert Yeung's home in his pool. However, the end product made the water look very murky, so a large tub was specially arranged for. After Leslie got in, some bubbles were added and the cover was shot again, fitting with the theme of H2O. ​

1986 "Stand Up" The album came in four colours with a little hole at the bottom - fans bought all four of them. At the time the top artists in Hong Kong sold 300-400k copies per album. This album, instead of the projected 500k sales, ended up selling 2 million copies.

1987 "Summer Romance" The album cover photo was taken all the way in Tokyo. Alan Chan arranged for the location and everything, thinking that it was foolproof. However, in the end he found a fallen hair in the photo making it look bad. There wasn't Photoshop back then, but luckily he found a technician to dissect the film layer by layer and remove the hair. It ended up being even more expensive than the photoshoot itself.

1989 "Leslie '89" Alan Chan said that"Leslie '89" reflected Leslie's truest, most affectionate side. Leslie took the album cover photo by himself, and Alan Chan added some finishing touches and colour with aerosol paint. It became one of Gor-gor's most iconic albums.

1988 "Hot Summer" This album was one of Leslie's most successful dance-pop albums after switching to Cinepoly Records. Alan Chan added several futuristic, pop-art elements and even included a pair of 3D glasses in the album, giving it a unique and fun twist.

1989 "Final Encounter" The stage in the album cover was actually constructed in real life and was several feet tall. A vertical observation ladder was also made for photo-taking. However, it was not very stable, so all the photos were taken in one go, making the set of photos extra memorable.

I've got a few sapphic NV suggestions, though most of them also have male LI options.

First though I wanna reemphasize that Studio Élan and both of the Arcade Spirits games are really good.

a new life.: modern angsty af, 1 female LI, for when you need a good cathartic cry sesh.

Arcadia Fallen: high fantasy, 2 male, 2 female, and 1 enby LIs, if you're familiar with The Owl House, Luz's VA voices the enby LI.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood: sci fi/urban fantasy vibes, there's like... one dude in the game and he's friend shaped.

Flowers Trilogy (Le volume sur printemps, Le volume sur ete, Le volume sur hiver, in that order): occult/psychological horror/boarding school setting, you play as different characters and have different LIs in each game but you're at an all girls school so... game was originally in Japanese and has English subs.

Heaven Will Be Mine: sci fi, 3 female LIs (only two for each playthrough, however, as you play one of them), to quote the creator "select one of three terribly behaved girls to fight and/or make out with each other in their struggle for the fate of space."

I Was A Teenage Exocolonist: sci fi, 5 male, 4 female, and 1 enby LIs w/ some poly options, game's 80% VN, 10% deck building, and 10% world exploration. My highest recommended game period.

Love Notes: urban fantasy/horror, 2 male and 3 female LIs, extra point for this game because you can choose to play as a guy or girl and while you can romance all five LIs as either, the actual romances play out differently, which is kind of a staple with this studio.

Royal Order: high fantasy, 2 male and 1 female LIs, if you're familiar with Fire Emblem: Three Houses you can tell this game was inspired by it at least a little bit.

A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986: modern (or well, real world in 1986), 1 female LI, just a nice journey of self discovery and love.

When The Night Comes: supernatural, 4 male, 1 female, 1 enby LIs w/ some poly options, was aimed more towards the BL side but is worth if either the female or enby LI appeals to you.

And some up and coming VNs to look out for:

Arcadia Fallen II: the sequel to the aforementioned Arcadia Fallen. LI information unconfirmed on the store page so far so numbers.

Call Me Under: urban fantasy/horror (but in an underwater city?), 2 male, 2 female, 1 enby and 1 genderfluid (he/they) LIs, same studio as When The Night Comes and has Robbie Daymond (The Curious Cat, Dorian Storm) voicing one of the LI characters.

Drops of Death: modern/murder mystery, 2 male and 2 female LIs, one of them is the killer... but it changes every game so you might end up romancing them and then it's up to you if you can forgive or not.

Our Life: Now & Forever: modern, 1 female LI, the sequel to the (typically) BL game Our Life: Beginnings & Always, childhood friends to lovers and navigating the journey to adulthood.

Nova Hearts: modern/superhero, LI info isn't available yet but it's a LGBTQ+ tagged dating sim and the premise is fun, all the local "hot singles" got turned into superheroes/villains and now you can date them.

Wow, thank you so much anon!

Definitely quite a few on this list I hadn't heard of.
