You do have to put some effort in to unlock the routes. They aren't just free by progressing the game. I guess I'd consider it very light romance since the characters do flirt and stuff. However, like hard R romance it definitely isn't considering I completed the game in under 2 hours with every route. Also, I think the translation is a bit spotty so there may be a barrier there.

Is there any actual romance? Not sure if that should be more of an H-Game thread entry

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/3108980/PartTime_Witch/

This is yuri.... Kinda? All the characters are women, but every scene involves magic to make them futa. There's also a random het scene in it. Every scene is optional though.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/3138230/Lap_of_the_Gods_A_Visual_Novel/

Female protagonist and LGBT tagged but considering the content that might just be because of weird surreal characters, I'm not sure if there's any romance in this.

Since the Steam page mentions only one F/F paring, I think you would be safe to put it on the list. I have it, but had a couple other games I was going to play/see what they had.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/4012450/A_Place_Where_Summer_Rain_Falls/

This seems to have added the F/F route but while it's officially released it's more-or-less in early access and still adding routes... but this is the only part relevant to us? So I may go ahead and add it soon. Would be nice to get more info though, I don't have a key for this.

they seem to be using auto-translation so who knows what they mean by 'platonic' at this point, will have to wait and hope on comments.

also a new release described as having "platonic yuri" https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/3966180/Drowning_Song_of_the_Stagnant_Sea/

Angel Clicker intrigued me so I bought and beat it just now.
But yeah, can confirm everything that was said by DamnMeAgain. Theres a bit of flirting throughout as its heavily implied that her rival is her ex-girlfriend ,but 95% of your time will be just clicking on stuff and waiting for numbers to go up, so don't expect anything deep. The writing is more comedy focused which works fine for what the game is...

@Hanako
Angel Clicker does have yuri. The protag is a female angel and she can get into romantic interactions with a rival (it also ends with an explicit kiss). I won't spoil anything more though. It's a real time management game more than anything, so romance isn't the focus.

Also my prior post was not an endorsement for Wise Woman's Final Quest, I explicitely said it's subtext only...

Well in regards to Sojourning Wise Woman's Final Quest I'm still in contact with the dev. He at least said my input gave him a new perspective, so maybe the sequel will go all the way. The current release is not going beyond subtext though.
Also yeah, the AI art was very obvious. But at least it's not low quality like some other stuff I had to look through lately.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/4247760/Angel_Clicker/

This has an LGBT tag and mentions romance but I can't tell what any of the characters are?

it looks good for gen AI but there are some tells, at this point I also always check every game's page for their AI disclosure

oh blearg. I should have looked at the screenshots closer

For the sojourning wise woman? That's AI art iirc

If it doesnt develop into a meaningful romance by the end then that is pretty lame. The story would be incomplete in my view. Shame cause the art style is nice.

I know DamnMeAgain got into an argument with the devs over the yuri largely being subtext but this did just come out https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/3816020/The_Sojourning_Wise_Womans_Final_Quest/

Just a follow-up on People of Note https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/1626170/People_of_Note/

Someone on Reddit who completed the game said there is no romance. So it can be scratched off the potential addition list.

A game you had on the forthcoming list is now out, Hanako.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/4017820/The_Angels_Devil_Tail__One_More_Question_2/

Well, the "second half" so to speak was very rushed, so I would welcome more content that gives it a bit more closure for sure.

I'm pretty sure the devs are going to make additional content for the game.

When you return to the shrine after the ending, the characters are talking about their research and how they can explore other places. That post-game area is perfect for being used as a lobby for additional content.

Plus, they didn't mention a single thing about what happened to Ann after that. She just got reset and recreated from zero, and that's it. There's a lot of room to explore there.

Yeah.... Homura Hime is kind of a mess, but a fun one. Even if you thought it had yuri potential I would say the ending gets in the way of that.

I just finished Homura Hime and I wish I could say it's yuri, but everything is too ambiguous to confirm anything, even though there are hints.

Great game tho

Because I know someone will wonder, while I'll cover this in the roundup a quick explanation of why I did add that last game to the list - the character in question calls you her soulmate and kisses you in the end. It's not a romance game though, don't play it just because you're looking for yuri.

I wish RPGmaker hentai devs would learn not to include unavoidable het in their games.

So to respond to the two previous comments about Agent Sirius, I looked around on f95 and found this comment responding to a question about whether or not there are male characters in sex scenes: "There is exactly one dude who gets his ♥♥♥♥ wet aside from the guys in the beginning, and that's if you lose to Blind Poison." So there are guys in it (unavoidable at the start of the game).
Beyond that it seems to be pretty heavily into corruption (the FMC does lust after men, though I think there are plot reasons why) and futa. The end of the game does have FMC falling in love with her (female) best friend and doing the whole love conquers all thing (curing her corruption after turning evil and making a female slave harem out of all her classmates).

Overall I wouldn't really say this belongs on the main list (maybe an 'informational' or 'recommended against')

This is all heresy from a hentai forum though so idk

Yeah this has clearly got some sort of h-patch offsite that needs looking into... It's tagged both 'Yuri" and "Corruption" on their site but I'm struggling to find the dlsite info as I keep getting regionblocked. Definitely seeing some men involved on what little I've found though.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/3517070/Agent_Sirius/ the description indicates yuri "Beni's childhood friend and crush" "Your choices will even shape Beni's relationships with other characters, particularly with her partner, Nadeshiko" idk the extent of the specifics tho

Yeah I'm gonna take evasiveness as a no but I'll keep my eye out as well.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/1626170/People_of_Note/

So far the dev's only comment about the possibility of romance was highly unhelpful, so I have NO idea. More information will likely show up eventually.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/1638070/Fishbowl/

FemPC and LGBT tags but not clear if there's any romance there

At least it specifies so you know what's not there - maybe they're hoping to add the rest as DLC later.

I played that when the phone app still existed, there are two female LIs (Altea and Helena). But this port is missing a lot of content from all the routes, those two included. ("Until Season 5" when they each had 9 seasons...)

looks like a fever dream. but yeah its not obvious what it has to with yuri

it probably will be but i'm waiting until i have something else to put in with it

Which likely WON"T be this:
https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/4205060/DopePie_Survivors_3D/

Tiny lolitas fighting big-breasted giantesses is technically not yuri afaik but it is funny and they did submit it....

@fhqwhgads & @B Unit
We actually got a discussion thread that collects yuri mods for games, so if you got something nice to add it would be great if you posted about those mods there, regardless of whether Skyrim gets added to the main list.

https://itch.io/c/5150533/yuri-lebsbians
here's also my list for games that are exclusively on itchio only. it might be a little outdated though, will make sure to update it sometime soon

not sure if anyone is interested, but im making a list on backloggd too! mainly because it lets you add games from itchio as well and is quicker to access for me. i will credit this steam group though, as i was not aware about some of this lists games before! :)

https://backloggd.com/u/ryyvve/list/lesbian-rep--sapphic-undertones/

Technically it should probably be added as an Informational entry for consistency sake, even if it is pretty vapid.

There are quite a few female companion mods out there that have female Dragonborn affirming romance dialogue (SDA comes to mind where she yells at enemies to "Leave my girlfriend alone!" for example, which is either sweet or eye rolling, depending on your disposition) but I don't believe modded content is applicable to the main listing.

I have to disagree slightly on Skyrim mods, the Serana dialogue overhaul is fun and seems to drop hints that Serana may well be into women independently of the player's gender. But yes, the base game experience is pretty bare-bones, and frankly the game doesn't even really have any same-sex romance acknowledgement outside of the PC being able to marry the same sex. Still, some entries on the list only have slightly more content.

It's not on the list. Not much of a loss though. Skyrim's "romance" and marriage is about as engaging as writing yes on a marriage form. Not even modders could ever make romance or marriage have any substance in that game.
But yes, you can marry women as a female dragonborn and even adopt children and buy a house together.

Was Skyrim included on the list? I don't see anything on the steam page, but sometimes I overlook it. You can make a female character, and marry a female npc.

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/864420/Waterside_Chirping/
https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/1639690/Flowering_Across/

Waterside Chirping and Flowering Across are now available in English. 2 stories about the same couple. The languages can be switched in the library if needed (right click a game -> properties).

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/3604510/Only_You/

Only You just got an English translation...

Slayer Mage: My First RPG
Female protagonist that can marry Frieren (you can choose male too, but it won't trigger the secret map where you marry Frieren)

Almost certainly unavoidable het, see - "The story unfolds, alternating between Lena & Ian's viewpoint!"
Maybe you can just choose not do anything as the ML but I doubt it.

looks like it's only coming into EA

It has a lot of het scenes in their advertising, avoidable?

https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/app/3669040/Our_Red_String/ female and male protagonist
romance/ sex with 5 female so far early acces.is coming out tomorrow!

I've played the demo of Qelochia--the game has 4 protagonists that the story switches between, and two of them are women who start dating each other partway through the story. IDK whether the relationship lasts through the end of the full game though, it's the kind of story where I wouldn't take it as a given lol
