BL Games?! Empty BL Games?!

Post by ranimanga 17/01/17, 07:56 am

I know this is a site about otome games but, I was interested in whether anyone was into BL games like me.  Embarassed/ Kyaa! What I find refreshing about BL games is that the MCs are interesting and the romance isn't so flowery and cliche. On another note though BL games are far more graphic than otome games (whether that's a good or bad thing depends on you)
So far I've played (however I didn't finish either of them, I'm not a completionist):
-DRAMAtical Murder 
-DRAMAtical Murder Re:Connect

Right now I'm playing No, Thank You!!! and I'm really enjoying it. I'm definitely aiming to finish all the different routes. I just finished Hiroyuki's true end and am on Maki's route.  Ehehe~ I can already tell Hiroyuki's my favorite though...

Still planning to play Hatoful Boyfriend later as well.

Anyways, feel free to respond if you're playing any BL games or if you have any recommendations.  woot!

I like BL games too!
Unfortunately I never played any BLgames because I really suck at installing them and also because I don't have time. (I usually read BL games walkthrough/reviews)
But just like you I also found BL love much more original and unpredictable(=something most shoujo manga/series seem too lack lately mou~).
I LOVE DRAMMATICAL MURDER! Embarassed/ Kyaa!

Even if I never played any BLGames, but I can recommand you some of the top BLGames:
[These are in jap]
-Lamento: Beyond the Void
-Lucky Dog (this one has many R18 scenes; you can check how it is by reading the manga version)
-Omerta Chinmoku no Okite

If I am not mistaken, the three of them have english patches.
I would like to try DRAMAtical Murder and Lamento too, but it would be a little later. (I have two otome game to finish first)

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm playing Sweet Pool currently and it's the most f**cked up story I've ever seen...I mean the protagonist shits meat monsters and the love interests are not all that knowledgeable on consent. It's still a good game though  Crying

I played Bl games too. I liked "Togainu no chi" i don't feel the anime is that good (don't know why .-.), but the game got me engached for hours and hours (the history is soo good and the soundtrack +.+).

I played Enzai,Dramatical Murder and.. i suposed another ones?.. i don't remember qx.

Enzai is a little... well i think not everyone would like it, but the story is so deep and you can really feel the pain and the hard times the protagonist go throught. And actually it have a lot of Endings (probably the game with most endings i know)

But yeah.. is a litle (too much maybe, yeah definetly qx) graphic, so you are warned.

I liked Dramatical Murder, but i didn't finished the routes yet. Just the route of Clear (bad and good ending  smile ). And Dramatical Murder; Re-Connect i feel is the same with a few things more No / shakes head

It seems like BL games don't shy away from really messed up stuff compared to otome games. I know otome games do it sometimes too, but it seems like BL takes it to an even greater level. I actually like that about them though. And it makes me curious to know why that is. Is it because girls playing the game feel safer playing it because the characters are all guys. Kinda like removing the personal connection that some girls might experience with the heroine, and that leaves it open for us to explore darker themes that might be too uncomfortable to personally associate with? Or maybe I'm over thinking it. Anybody else ever wonder about this stuff?

I don't think a fair comparison can be made between Otome and BL. They are very different genres made for different age groups. (When comparing as games not doujin or manga)

Otome (Maiden Games) are meant to be cute and lovely and make out hearts beat without it having to be a porn game, where BL is made for older female fans thus porn. Don't get me wrong, I love both but one is meant to be graphic, the other not. 

Now if your comparing all BL specifically to Nitro+ works, then I would like to stop you there. Nitro+ as a company, has no issue making things dark and wrong for the sake of their stories (Sweet Pool and Togainu no Chi are good examples, probably Slow Damage too when it comes out), they even have some pretty dark themed Visual Novels (not BL). 

So comparing their work to all BL Visual Novels also seems unfair. A lot of other company BL's I've played, are more Porn than story, as they know it's made to just be some material for adult fans. I see Nitro+ as making more of an adult story with sex where the other companies tend to make it sex with some story. (NO Thank You and Sukisho come to mind first. Their stories are heavily lacking).

There are Otome out there with some darker themes but I wouldn't call it graphic, just something the viewer is meant to romanticize. We also don't see many if at all any 18+ otome because how many of us would play it? We like romance but make it a porn game and it suddenly feels like something that should be for male VN fans. Where with Bl theres no women, we don' have to "put ourselves" in their shoes like we do otome so they can do 18+ and it be enjoyable for the viewer in a different way.

TLD: 
Otome = Teenagers/Young Adult Lovey Dovey
Nitro+ BL = Adult /18+
Nitro+ =/= Not ALL BL VN's (Though most BL VN's are 18+)
