Blackberry Honey
Romance, Drama, Yuri, Kinetic novel · by ebi-hime · 2017
A dismissed maid takes a punishing new post in the English countryside and finds herself drawn to the aloof servant everyone calls a witch.
Who it's for: Adults who want a gentle Victorian yuri romance with an optional adult patch.
The story (spoiler-free)
England, mid-19th century. Lorina is fired from her post under a cloud and, with a large family in Liverpool to support, takes a new job where the hours are long and the senior staff are cruel.
Taohua, a reserved maid with her own room and odd habits, is one of the few who speaks to her. Rumour says she is a witch, and Lorina knows she should keep away.
It is a linear love story with no choices. The base game only alludes to intimacy; a free official patch adds consensual adult scenes.
