hi! im new here :) i would like some good recs! im not picky, but i do like slow burn romance and interesting, badass mcs!

edit: thank u everyone for the recs! :)

As the title says, I'm wanting to know which gifts have the most reactivity throughout the story. What I mean by reactivity is allowing you to enter new areas, giving unique dialogue options, giving new encounters, stuff like that. I don't really care about gifts that simply give you a higher stat or make combat easier.

I just finished Mask of the Plague Doctor, which I had purchased years ago and never got around to read. Amazing game, 10/10, would play again. One of the things I liked the most is that my character got to be a self-serving bastard who looked out for themselves and got away with everything (not giving details because I don't want to spoil, IYKYK). Are there any more games like that? The only other example that comes to mind which I already read is the Creme de la Creme series

I would appreciate it if it's not all about being a superhero i think the concept is really cool that only a few people knows that superhumans exist and they act like normal civilians or something like that i wanna experience being a superhuman in a world where majority of people believe they don't exist and get to meet other super humans and fight them

the vtm based games are great. I was wonder if any more vtm focused CoG games are planned?

Edit: Added COG's MCs

origin post body:

I am not seriously talking about religion and mean no offense,just simply talking about IF MCs

1.**Wrath **: Sidestep

>Wrath can be defined as uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. Wrath often reveals itself in the wish to seek vengeance(Citing Wiki)

Although usually Sidestep is quite calculative and calm , since wrath is also related to revenge,I personally think wrath suits Sidestep.

2.Pride:MC from 1966(wip)or Demon Fireforged(wip) 's MC. They are overpowered and consider human are ants.

3.Envy: Button from Mindblind(wip). Because of the jealousy towards Nick, especially if >!Button likes Sally while she has a crush on Nick!<

4.Gluttony: Newman from The Passenger.If Newman lives with their mother,there is a scene about Newman eats a lot.Besides,Newman literally consumes their enemy at the end of game and>! ate Roach 's entire family in the past!<

5.Lust:Ronin from Samurai Of Huga.Ronin literally has a pervert trait iirc (although I haven't play the entire series so I am not sure)

6.Sloth:God Cursed(wip on Itch)' s MC.They are not lazy,but they have been sleeping for longer time due to their illness.

7.Greed:Maybe Infamous(wip) 's MC? They can choose personal success over band 's success

What's your opinion? Do you think there are other MC would be a better represent for a sin?

For context I've only played/read one of these before and I might get some terminology wrong. I am sorry in advance and hope people will still be willing to help.

I just Played Cantata all the way up to chapter 5. I believe this is the most recent chapter.

It was an absolutely amazing game and I wish there was more. Especially the romance. I happen to be a Master fan of romance and I really think it can elevate storytelling.

For Cantata I have been playing the Calliope route and it's this very wholesome start to a romance during the middle of lots of tragedies.

The romance does not have to be identical but something similar would be nice.

I will mention I am a straight guy so that would be the type of romance I am into. If it has others that's fine as long as what I am looking for is an option. (Really hope that wasn't offensive.)

If anyone has suggestions that would be helpful.

I am a huge Medieval Fantasy, High Fantasy, and Fantasy fan.

Was one of my favourites, but since dashingdon disappeared I have no way of replaying. Does anyone know how or if it’s even possible to get access to it? I’m pretty sure even the discussion of the game on the Choice of Games website is closed too.

The first was an epic journey were you really felt the distance between settlements. I understand the second has a larger scale, but I think the epic adventure loses a lot of its appeal when it ceases to be an actual adventure.

You travel from distant place to distant place with only quick summaries of your travels. I was shocked when the novel handles your odyssey to shelmek in the middle of the desert with like 2 paragraphs where it alludes to a much more interesting adventure than the game permits you to have, including an encounter with a character that was hinted to be super important in the first game. Apparently you got the chance to meet her and even attend her funeral but the game completely glosses over all of it.

I don't know, man. The tone is just so different from the first game. I really like Kyle Marquis' other games, particularly night road and book of hungry names (though BoHN suffers a little bit from having a weak antagonist) but I'm just not feeling pon para 2.

I just finished Mind Blind and it was absolutely beautiful. I am looking for any recommendations!!

What I’ve read:
Infamous
Wayhaven
FALLEN HERO (the death grip 🫡)
All of CC Hill (girl has me in a chokehold 😭)
Crème de la Crème
Royal Affairs
Blood Moon

I like:
Anything gay
Slice of Life
Angst + suffering MC
Crying (I have a therapist don’t worry)
Action
Mystery

I am getting really sick of Choice of Rebels and I have just barely reached the second chapter! I played through Winter once and did badly, restarted... got to near the end of the chapter and for some reason my game just sent me back to the very start of Winter. On my third attempt, I got about halfway through, misplaced something important... wished there was a "restart chapter" button, tried to speed through to a restart point... and now am stuck in an endless dialogue loop where teo choices about setting rations just repeats forever with no way to get out.

I have heard this is one of the best CoG games of all. Are the games here just all sort of sloppy and buggy? It is wild that I can't even get through first part of the game.
