Grey Haven

This is a slightly tepid recommendation. This game is for sure worth your time, money, and attention, but how much money that is is entirely up to you.

Yuri games, those that are exclusively yuri, that aren't visual novels or made in RPG Maker or a similar program are exceedingly rare on this platform, so when I see one that breaks from those two molds, it grabs my attention. The gameplay itself isn't all that flashy, but it doesn't need to be. The core gameplay loop is fun and addictive; it vaguely reminds me of what I remember of playing Diablo III, minus the randomized gear and B.F. Skinner loot boxes. The game was also relatively easy to cheese, even accidentally in 4.0, but I can't tell for sure if that got patched out in 4.1.

Visually, everything is fine, bordering on good. The artwork, while often a bit stock in style, is nice to look at, and the character designs are superb. The character models are really cute and serve as a nice contrast to the sexy on display in the illustrations, but I wish they had more than just a handful of stock animations to sell their authenticity (it's mildly immersion-breaking to see a character adamantly cross their arms in an "X" while shaking their head "No" when the dialogue says something to the effect of, "I tried that already, and it didn't work. Maybe we should try something else."). The monster designs aren't really anything to write home about, but they all feel appropriate to the setting and the locations you find them in. Music and sound design is neither good nor bad, but both often feel like they disappear into the background, and I feel both could stand to be a bit more bombastic/in your face.

Story is where this game surprised me the most. The game makes it clear from the start that it is a dark fantasy setting and that the titular Gray Haven is a respite from the gloom, but many stories in the game take dark turns that you would not expect from a product whose primary intention is to make you horny. This game wants you invested in each and every one of its characters on a personal level, and for me at least, it mostly succeeds.

That said, it is very obvious that most, if not all of the script was machine translated, and while it's true things like Google Translate and DeepL have come a long way in a short amount of time, they will still yield clunky, nonsensical results if you rely exclusively on them because they can't understand the greater context, and the story suffers for it. The English script is in desperate need of a revision that's been touched by a human, or at the very least contextually aware, hand (I'd even be satisfied with a translation run through an LLM like ChatGPT that was given the context for each of the lines spoken and who was speaking them).

To round things off, I do have some minor nitpicks. Text boxes behave like they have voice line audio playing even when no audio exists, so often you have to press the button twice to advance dialogue. The CG viewer often displays outdated art in the thumbnails, and I kinda want to see that old art, too, but I can't. "APIS" is clearly written on the the leotard of Apis's character model, but her character art only has the "AP." Nothing is really done with the last two characters introduced. Your player home is underutilized, and I wish you could use it to do something like invite one of the girls over for a date or some similar activity. I wish there was a CG of the wedding and of taking the wedding photo. These are all minor, some are just "me things" to be sure, but they all build up. I want to believe this game is a labor of love, but with how unpolished it remains to feel, I just wish I could feel that love just a little bit more.

Still. Games are continually evolving things now. Will these nitpicks all disappear with further updates and DLC? Only time will tell.

All things said, I do feel this is worth giving your money to. If you like girl-on-girl action, make a statement by buying this. We need more yuri games that aren't afraid to break the confines of being visual novels or turn-based RPGs.

Gray Haven
Game Introduction
1.Game Story Synopsis：Players will take on the role of a young girl guided into a nightmarish dungeon to confront her fears. She must search for and help her friends who have lost their memories, while simultaneously building a shelter to prepare for future challenges....
Gameplay
1. Basic Gameplay: The gameplay of this game is divided into two parts: combat and building, Combat involves following the storyline and exploring different nightmare dungeons, using various weapons to defeat demons and rescue your amnesiac friend, In combat, similar to most ARPGs, you control your character to move around, seize opportunities to deal damage and stagger enemies, and use appropriate weapons against different foes. In most cases, their attack patterns are rigid, and even bosses can be figured out after a few rounds of fighting.Building allows players to place houses and furniture, cook food, craft materials, upgrade equipment, and plant crops.Currently, the main focus of the building system is on houses for new characters and decorative structures. Functional facilities such as cooking and crafting are already available from the start, making for a generally good overall experience.
2. A few side notes: In terms of art style, the character designs are distinctly Japanese, resulting in full and charming character illustrations in the game. The monsters, on the other hand, are rendered in a cute, dark style, creating a contrast without disrupting the overall aesthetic. As a 3D game, the scene modeling is of high quality, with a fresh and adorable style. Overall, it's quite good, but unfortunately, the game content isn't entirely R18-rated.
summarize
As a long-form RPG, this game successfully combines combat and building elements. It features a diverse range of weapons, varied building styles, and beautifully detailed character designs, plus it even includes my favorite lesbian romance elements – it's truly amazing!
Game recommendation rating: 8/10❤️

I'm here just for the Yuri.
Story wise, it has really nice story and plot, every side character has it own backstory which is really good concept as a bonding event. Gameplay are kinda ok, just lack of music and sound effect when you are fighting and some animation are kinda clunky, I hope they will improve it more.
Overall it's a good game. Plus point for the CG, the Yuri art are top tier (will be waiting for more).

The journey of a girl with no memories diving into nightmares to reclaim them hits surprisingly hard and gives the story a strong emotional core. Getting to know the girls in town, gently building affection, and unlocking new scenes creates a warm, healing contrast to the darker dungeon crawling. The voiced lines and sweet, varied dialogue make every girl feel distinct and alive, so spending time with them never gets old. Recommended for yuri fans and players who love girl–girl romance, action roguelikes with tight controls, and a well-balanced mix of character moments and challenging dungeon runs.

The thumbnail and video in the store page says it all. You know why you clicked on it and for that this game gives you everything you'd expect. The art style is admittedly of higher quality than other games of this genre. It really does feel like they spent time designing the characters. The gameplay itself scratches the ARPG itch. Plus it doesn't try to get you to pay for more content at every screen so right away that makes this better than Diablo IV. As for the 'other' content, it is surprisingly enjoyable. It does feel like the developers were having fun with it. It is more goofy than titillating, almost making this game the perfect title for a funny YouTube channel to make a video on, if they can figure out how to get around the more scandalous images.

I started the game thinking it was an adult version of Animal Crossing. The unique characters and their stories are fascinating. Although it looks simple, the combat is more serious than I expected. I really like that you can choose from a wide variety of weapons and enjoy different playstyles.

Cute and fun, got it on discount so it was definitely worth the price but for the full price I would have like to see alot more cg's and possibly a couple animations. Gameplay is simple yet fun and what is offered is good so overall I recommend
