Noctilucent? Heard some good things about the h-scenes in that game, but also that it's very buggy. I checked out the website when it first released but was extremely whelmed by the character designs and it's got annoying floaty Live2D animation everywhere. Am probably biased because I'm not big on gacha mechanics for husbando games in the first place, though.

Yes, Noctilucent. It was very buggy in the beginning, but they've improved it a lot since launch. The game is super grindy though and the monetisation to me seems even more predatory than other gachas, but it's my side game, so I can overlook a lot and just enjoy the cute designs.

Yeah, it has that cashgrab gachaslop look to it, to put it undiplomatically. Probably not too bad for a side game, though.

I'm glad to see it, though. For a long time it felt like NU:Carnival was the only notable game in that space - or at least the only game with a global release - and in general most gachas have been waifubait. It feels like it's been only fairly recently that people started acknowledging the power of marketing to women, what with the success of Love and Deepspace and the husbando banners in Genshin Impact. Wish we'd get a little more fujobait than yumebait in more mainstream games, but I guess my main game did give me both tragic goat yaoi and old goat yaoi recently.
