Yearning: A Gay Story

Игра "Yearning: A Gay Story" – это трогательная и искренняя визуальная новелла, исследующая темы любви, тоски и самопринятия в контексте столкновения главного героя с религиозными догмами и гомофобией. История, рассказанная простым, но выразительным языком, вызывает глубокий эмоциональный отклик. Персонажи прописаны реалистично и многогранно, переживания каждого из них ощущаются как собственные. Особенно удачно показано развитие отношений между главными героями, где нежность и уязвимость переплетаются с чувством вины и страха осуждения. Диалоги кажутся настоящими, а сюжетные повороты, несмотря на свою предсказуемость в некоторых моментах, держат в напряжении и заставляют сопереживать героям до самого конца. Хотя игра и посвящена сложным темам, она оставляет после себя светлое чувство надежды и веры в то, что любовь всегда найдет свой путь. "Yearning: A Gay Story" – это важная и своевременная история, которая заслуживает внимания каждого.

En résumé, Yearning : A Gay Story (YAGS en abrégé) est un roman graphique réaliste axé sur le coming-out, dans lequel vous incarnez un homosexuel commençant sa première année d'études dans une université générique située quelque part dans le Midwest des États-Unis. Le jeu comporte des éléments de simulation de rencontre, mais n'est pas centré sur ces derniers. Vous interagirez avec une série de personnages, chacun ayant sa propre personnalité et sa propre histoire, tout en naviguant dans la vie universitaire, en développant des amitiés, en jouant à des jeux de société et en faisant votre coming out. Avec un peu de chance, vous pourrez même trouver un petit ami. Les points forts : * Des personnages masculins modélisés et détaillés de manière unique. * Des scènes de qualité. * Visuels réalistes, environnements immersifs. * Entièrement gratuits Les points faibles : * L'histoire est intéressante, néanmoins, le grand nombre de sélections possible pour trouver tous les succès est décourageant. * Aucune traduction francophone. Vous recevrez 16 succès très difficilement. Je recommande ce roman pour les inconditionnels de ce genre. Amicalement, Le pasteur .

A wonderful visual novel about the highs and lows of college life from the perspective of a gay man that has yet to come out at the beginning of the game. The story weaves together college events, friendships, potential dating opportunities, and different moments of life. I found myself immediately immersed into the YAGS universe and felt a connection to multiple characters in the game. The game felt very real while playing it. The world and characters change in response to your decisions while still maintaining personal integrity. Multiple times I found myself reflecting on my actions and how they benefited or otherwise hurt the characters. One part especially and I appreciated the seriousness of the game at times as it showcased some vulnerable moments in big parts of people's lives. You can tell that this game was made with love and with careful deliberation for a strong memorable experience. Personally, I spent most of my first playthrough hanging out with Adam and Carlos. The play-through was a good amount of time and I am satisfied upon completion. There are multiple endings available, plenty of collectables, and good quality-of-life with the features that would make jumping in for another round easy to do. Looking forward to trying out the other games! Recommended!

It has potential but it is WAY to full of just text, id almost rather read a book. IMO it needs way more action, not to mention options. It does not fork off in other directions very often and feels like you are not even interacting, much. You have a bunch of guys you dont even know are gay or not, which turn out not to be and then your main char you are near to the most is straight as a preachers cloth that doesnt touch his alter boys. yeah, that straight. So what is the point of this gay game, altho it was the ONLY one i didnt delete in the 1st 5 mins...or less... I still have it hoping it will amount to something but am not opening it as i fear my hopes have more promise than finding out. I will give this from Zero to a (10) FULL Negan Sized Sack: -3 That means you be shooting dust, or an unending supply of kidney stones and a sack so floppy it looks like it does not have a nut to save a squirrels life. It is only not minus FULL flatline (-10) as its not as bad as the rest of the gay games out there.....BOOOOO to all gay game makers!!!

No. Not even for free. I tried to play & record this for a vid in June 2025 for pride month but I got 40 mins in & I was so freakin bored with it, I knew it would not be worth finishing, editing & releasing to my viewers. I'm cleaning out old recordings (Dec 2025) & came across this one where, on the start of Aug 28th in the game, my last words of the 40 min recording were "I dunno, this is kinda borin'. I dont' think I like it." End recording LOL. It's basically reading text on a handful of boring, non animated backgrounds. The story has no depth nor eludes that it will pick up at any time. The character art was nice but this game did not jazz me up in any sort of way. As a connoisseur of Free to Play games, I think this was probably my least favorite so far.

i wish the choices of yags influenced zen, being i romanced Adam
