Yuri Ghosts

I rather tremendously enjoy Kindred Spirits. The characters are interesting and varied bunch, a delight to read about. Watching the girls interact and fumble about trying to woo the object of their affections is very entertaining and cute. Each romance feels very 'natural'; there isn't really any ridiculous drama, and the relationships develop and grow quite, well, naturally. The conclusion, both to each pairs individual love and the overall story as a whole, are both satisfying and heartwarming. The ero scenes aren't really fapbait, being more a sweet climax (pun intended) to a burgeoning love.On the technical side, I didn't notice any typos, spelling errors, or particularly oddly-phrased sentences. I'm not entirely sold on the font, although it is readable easily enough. BGM is pleasing and fitting, albeit a tad repetitive. Art feels kind of doujinshi-ish, although it isn't bad by means. The day planner is excellent, allowing one to go back and re-read any scene at any time. A shame more visual novels don't have such a feature.Overall, very good. If you're looking for something lighthearted and fun, you could do a lot worse.

Too pure for my eyes

This is, by far, most awesome yuri VN that I've read, followed by Katahane, which is not entirely yuri, but whatever.It has lovable and adorable characters, entertaining dialogue for almost every couple, a great variety of couples (choose your favourite!) and the greatest heroine that I've seen in a long time. Sure, the story is nothing but a slice of life, but damn if it's not at least fun and enjoyable.The only bad thing about this VN is that there were a lot of times where I almost suffered a heart-attack by the amount of cuteness.So if you're a fan of yuri, Kindred Spirits is a must-read.

Pure Yuri Goodness

Now, let's make one thing clear; if you're somehow expecting a full on girl on girl hentai, this isn't the visual novel for you. However, Character, Art, Story, Romance Progression, and Gameplay-wise is amazing.I loved the idea of playing a protagonist who "helps" create Yuri couples, and it's handled as nicely as you could expect here. I also say "helps" since most of the time it seemed like everything could have handled itself in due time. The first couple definitely receive the most help out of them all and the others are handled with bits of advice or, again, on their own.All the characters are pretty distinct and memorable in all of their own ways. There's nothing majorly wrong with any of them, though I'm sure different people will have their own small issues with different characters here and there. Most of the small issues I had with a few characters were actually resolved later on in the story.The art isn't really anything special, but it's pretty decent; the screenshots give a semi-decent idea what to expect. No actual "videos" in the game if that's what you were also wondering.The "gameplay" is very limited as you would expect in a VN. Throughout the game, you're given some choices to pick here and there, usually just two options but sometimes three. I'm pretty certain the different choices don't affect the story much, if any. The only thing they really do is give different scenes (sometimes), different bonus content later on, or slight dialouge changes. Other than that, everything is kept up with in your "planner". It took me around 35 or so hours to finish it along with the known bonus stuff though I still haven't fully explored all the "possibilities" yet.The music was pretty enjoyable, though if you plan on playing this for hours upon hours (such as myself), you'll quickly notice the very limited amount of music you actually get. There are 15 pieces total (though it's really 13 not counting the instrumental versions of the opening and ending songs).As for the "hentai" scenes, well there isn't too much to say. As stated before, this isn't really a "hentai" game per say, but the sex scenes are nice in their own sweet way. They never really kick in until about half way through the game, but it goes along nicely with the romance progression.Overall, it's an amazing Yuri Visual Novel. As I said before, I haven't played many VN's, but I loved just about every second of this game and the small price tag is almost reason enough.
