BlackMageJ: Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt?
Very little text in general, as it's a throwback game styled after Spectrum-era graphics, and while you can choose to marry any NPC, Remedy has an ex-girlfriend and reconciling with her is implied to be the canon ending.

EDIT: There is a DRM-free download on the Remar website.

McMicroDonalds: Gone Home.

Not my kind of game but I think it's what you're looking for.

morolf: She want's something with "decent" gameplay, not just an adventure or walking simulator.
As usual with dtgreene's requests, she has such an extensive list of required features that it will be pretty much impossible to come up with anything. The kind of games she's looking for don't exist.

dtgreene: Except that I mentioned 3 games that actually fit my criteria in the first post.

dtgreene: Does anybody have any recommendations for games that fit these criteria?
* Game must have prominent LGBTQ characters, and the game must not present them in a strictly negative or offensive light.
* Game must have a significant gameplay component that isn't just scripted. In particular, I don't want any virtual novels, kinetic novels (if you even consider them to be games in the first place), or pure adventure games.
* The game has to be at least decent from a gameplay perspective.
* There needs to be a DRM-free release of the game.
* Bonus points if the game's author is LGBTQ, but that, in itself, is not sufficient. (For example, Bard's Tale 3 and Dragon Wars, as good as those games are, are not what I am looking for.)

Currently, I have Timespinner (metroidvania) and Ikenfell (JRPG) from GOG, ad Celeste from itch.io . Does anybody have any other recommendations?

(If you are somehow offended by the idea of such games existing, or of me even asking this question, please refrain from posting in this topic.)

Edit: Come on. Did this post *really* deserve a low rating?

morolf: I've never heard of those games, so they can't be important. And most other users here didn't come up with much either.

dtgreene: You haven't heard of Celeste?

morolf: No, I haven't. But tbf I don't play many new games anyway.

dtgreene:

DoomSooth: You like what you like but why do the games have to have prominent characters like that? Nothing against it except that you're severely limiting your selection. I'm a little picky, myself, but not that picky. Since you like "metroidvania" games, maybe check out Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Not sure about the orientation of the characters. It's DRM-free, though.
