I'm sorry for bringing up this fairly old topic, but I shall order the games, soon, and would like all eventual, additionally available, feedback.
First in reply to the following:
"When you mean promiscuous, do you mean it in terms of having the hero/protagonist having sex with all of the female characters in one sitting at the very least (ie. "Do You Like Horny Bunnies?") or do you mean having a "harem"-type of ending? (ie. "Come See Me Tonight")."
I mean neither. Or I do absolutely mean those, as well, but what I mainly have in mind, is that the main character shall limit himself to only one girl, and this only if he loves her.
Further, these are the games that are likely to be ordered, so far:
Romantic, non-promiscuous (with h-scenes):
- Kana: Little Sister
- Crescendo
- Brave Soul
- Figures of Happiness
- True Love
- Season of the Sakura
- May Club (not sure about this one... some comments would be nice (such as length of game))
- Private Nurse (same as with May Club (and please try to comment, without spoiling))
- Tokimeki Check-In! (not 100% sure on this one; please try to, without spoiling (please; I've had games spoiled far too many times (Final Fantasy VII comes to mind -_-)), explain the rape scenes... are they considered bad, for instance?)
Romantic, non-promiscuous (without h-scenes):
- Hourglass of Summer
Tasteful, dark games (non-promiscuity not a necessity, but note if they are promiscuous/non-promiscuous):
- Divi-Dead
- Non-censored EVE Burst Error DVD version (if there exists translation files/cracks)
- Chain (not sure about this one; comments?)
Once again, thank you very much for all replies.
Random thoughts/observations:
1) Good luck buying True Love. It's out of print.
2) A general note on older titles: many of them are going to be promiscuous. Old school design was usually linear. So generally what ended up happening was you either had sex with whoever's ending you got, right at the end of the game when you got her ending - or you had sex with everyone as the game went on.
3) Season of the Sakura is only available in a collection from Jast USA. If you get it, you'll also get 3 Sister's Story and Runaway City. Both of them fall under point 2) above, 3 Sis less so than Runaway City (3 Sis is good, if older now, Runaway City not so great).
4) May Club I would recommend getting. It also comes in a collection with a game called Nocturnal Illusion and it's pretty good. NI has a pretty strong mood going for it, even now. NI does fall under point 2) above but it's still one of my favorites. May Club is very non-linear, rather lengthy, not at all promiscuous, and well worth the $20 by itself.
5) Chain is a pretty good detective novel, but see point 2). There's only one ending, it's not even really a game, and you have sex with almost every female character in the game.
6) Private Nurse is one of my favorite games. It's rather lengthy, and there are only 3 girls so each one is rather well fleshed out. I'd recommend it and also Heart de Roommate. It's also by the people who made Figures of Happiness.
7) Tokimeki Checkin! is one of many peoples' favorites around here. As for how the rape scenes work ... the game's creators seem to have a thing for the maid character. There are two instances where other characters try to rape her, and one where you get stinking drunk and can choose to. That's the worst of it. There are a few other points in the game where the subject comes up; but in every instance, either nothing happens, or you have the option to intervene (and if you do, nothing happens). (Also, you don't see all of these in one playthrough; they only happen on specific paths.)
