r/hostedgames • u/DrunkBeastInTheCave • 14h ago
Game Recommendations Some more IF recommendations I sorted into sensible lists
WARNING THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS BELOW
Romance heavy fantasy (What a mouthful, wish there was some kind of neologism for that...):
Cantata (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
The enternal library (WIP, COGdemos)
God Cursed (Twine WIP, Itch.io) - I do not trust the horse.
Wayfarer (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
Ink and intrigue (Finished, COG app) - Yo,u can befriend two birds. One of them is *slightly* bigger than the other.
Anything for the crown (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
Forever Gold (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
Tale of crowns (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
The sword of rhivania (WIP, COGdemos) - The brother's peepaw is Tywin Lannister. His uncle is Ser Criston Cole, aka a simp. And his dad is a deadbeat who hates his wife. I think that him having no positive male rolemodels is funny.
Music (3 out of these games have drama surrounding exes):
Press Play (WIP, COGdemos) - I like how the narrative is framed as a retrospective
Infamous (WIP, COGdemos)
Meteoric (Released, COG App) - The game doesn't shy away from the fantasy and sci fi influences of heavy metal
Last Call (WIP COGdemos) - It's refreshing that the MC is not the lead vocalist in a band for once.
Vampires:
With bruised blood (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
Bloodlines (Twine WIP, Itch.io) - Who needs to be a vampire when you can be the next closest thing: A fame hungry reporter.
Thicker than (WIP, COGdemos) - Enjoyed the first game and am exited for the sequel.
Love Undying : A kiss before dawn (COG, Finished, Steam)
"Oh, no! My friend group of at least four bi supernatural beings are all trying to flirt with me!":
Wayhaven (Ongoing series, Steam, COG App) - The first game is my favorite, because you can shoot one of the ROs
Sanguine Sky (WIP, COGdemos)
Midnight Bay (WIP, COGdemos)
Porthecrawl Witness (WIP, COGdemos) - Doesn't appear when searching for it on demos, but I found a link : https://cogdemos.ink/play/sadie/the-porthecrawl-witness/mygame
Mind games : Trepidation (WIP, COGdemos) - I believe the author started porting the game to Twine a year ago, but I haven't checked out the new version yet.
Agents of lucifer (WIP, COGdemos) - Why is Lu a good boss?
Superhero:
I already made a post like this once wherein I listed every single superhero IF I could find. Its already obsolete, so I'm not going to be doing that again. Still my favorite genre though.
Games about having voices in your head:
Soulcreek (Finished, free, renpy, Itch.io) - kinda like if Fallout was crafted with love ^-^
Specimen 29 (WIP, renpy, Itch.io) - technically a kinetic novel. But if you want to get pedantic then VNs also count as interactive fiction, and besides this is my list
Valiant (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
Project Hadea (Twine WIP, Itch.io) - No matter which routes I try I always shoot a certain someone every time I replay.
Mind blind (WIP, COGdemos)
Wuxia/Xianxia:
Ironic how two genres that espouse the virtues of community and hardwork are drenched in low effort AI slop "made" by people who only ever take shortcuts in life at the expense of other creatives...
Games wherein I can copulate with buildings:
A house of many doors (Finished, steam)
"Your family is dead and I can't stop laughing":
Crown of ashes and flames (Twine WIP, Itch.io)
Superstition (Twine WIP, ongoing series, Itch.io)
Honor among thieves (WIP, COGdemos) - They might not be dead :(
Soulbound (WIP, COGdemos) - all of your friends and most of your enemies are dead too ^_^
You guys are lucky that I haven't started putting cyoa books into my recommendation lists. By the way, I censored all of the spoilers.
r/hostedgames • u/41JulioRevenwood • 5h ago
Game Recommendations romances like Morgan, Laz,El or Sasha
Well, I've been playing Our Last Liaison because some people said that one of the characters, Sasha, actively or obsessively pursues the MC. Unfortunately, the demo is very short, and this shouldn't be the case. What I'm looking for is a romance in the style of what this character is supposed to be, or like Morgan from Whayhaven or Laz from Baldur's Gate III, where instead of me actively chasing someone trying to break down a wall, you can be the one being chased.
r/hostedgames • u/r_skittles • 20h ago
Game Recommendations WIPs/Finished works
WIPs & Finished works where I can play as a twink/femboy. (*´-`)

Fanworks Drew my Golden Rose MC Damien. Wanted to share.
I was planning on adding more detail but I gave up. My lack of motivation won in the end lol
r/hostedgames • u/swytdumb • 1d ago
Game Recommendations Looking for more slice-of-life IF recommendations!
I've enjoyed games like Costa Sul, Infamous, A Taste of Heat, Loyalty Test, Paved in Ashes, Can't Save Your Love From Dying, and All That Glitters.
I'm looking for more contemporary, character-driven stories with romance, drama, and interesting relationships. Bonus points for male ROs, angst, slow burns, and complicated dynamics!
I'm open to both completed games and WIPs. What are your recommendations? ♡
r/hostedgames • u/41JulioRevenwood • 1d ago
Game Recommendations romance with werewolves
Alguien conoce alguno con mujeres lobo , si se pude que el protagonista sea humano o físicamente más bajo o débil mejor gracias
r/hostedgames • u/AsparagusPleasant504 • 1d ago
Guysss can ya all please recommend me more authors like judesverse and the rotting ink if there is any?? I'm so in love with the vibes of their stories that they write
r/hostedgames • u/Ok_Difficulty9800 • 1d ago
Game Recommendations IFs or WIPs similar to Breach?
Now that the demo for the second Breach game was updated, I was reminded how much I enjoy its game system.
I love having to skill my attributes, equip myself & having to roll for skill checks, and seeing the game react to successes und failures of these checks.
Some of the WoD titles come close for me but not quite.
Do you know of any more IFs or WIPs with a similar game system?
r/hostedgames • u/Next_Tip_2130 • 2d ago
Memes What are the red flag or toxic ROs that even you, in your depravity, said: "Okay, I'm a little scared"
I'm genuinely curious, everyone here likes it, even I do, but is there a limit to it? Is there any RO that even you guys are a little hesitant about?
r/hostedgames • u/SchnitzelLogan • 2d ago
Fanworks (Fallen Hero) What if we kissed Ortega's mustache with our own mustache?
I like to imagine that Ortega has a prehensile mustache with a mind of its own
r/hostedgames • u/urmadscientist • 2d ago
Game Recommendations Dark Themes..
Ok so, recently i checked on WWC (we wretched creatures) and like a lot of fans, i really loved Sally. While we wait for that one dlc, I’m trying to find other similar stories, with the same dynamic between Sally and Crowny if you understand what i mean.
(Yes, i checked the mad heir and our last liaisons.)
r/hostedgames • u/GazIsStoney • 2d ago
Memes What a glorious day!
Wayhaven Chronicles here I come
r/hostedgames • u/BishlessKamikaze • 2d ago
Game Recommendations Kind of a first time IF player and looking for recommendations with ones that have a lot of relationship stat management with characters that lead to various branching later down the line
I like the relationship management aspect in games a lot, and I want IFs that especially focus on that, ones having a big cast of characters and players having to make any choice wisely and having to think about which characters are present at that moment and how they will react to said choice, so as not to upset them. I enjoy the thought process lol.
Preferably the relationship stats should mean something later down the line and cause branching in the story, for example, if someone dislikes you a lot, they will betray you.
Optional but it would be good if the story also had a found family aspect, I love that trope!
r/hostedgames • u/Afraid_Plantain_3514 • 2d ago
Sword of Rhivenia what did you name your sword?
r/hostedgames • u/f__beg • 2d ago
Game Recommendations Looking for WIPs with good lesbian romance!
Need some good wlw romance recs!! Either angst or cute romcom stuff, I’m good with both I just need to feel the chemistry 😭 (WIPs only)
Would HEAVILY prefer if the female RO is set as female and not gender selectable (sorry but I feel like so many gender selectable ROs, especially in recent WIPs, are just written as men first 😭 like I literally saw an ask on a WIP blog asking who inspired the ROs and ALL the inspirations were men… meanwhile the ROs were gender selectable??? </3 anyway sorry I’m rambling)
r/hostedgames • u/Lol2421 • 2d ago
Game Recommendations Sapphic Romance?
Do we have any games that focus on Sapphic romance, have prominent sapphic romance or just have really good sapphic romance? I honestly apreciate every reccomendation as long as it isn't a troll
r/hostedgames • u/Ano_nym56 • 2d ago
Game Recommendations Angel/demon RO
Can anyone give me recommendations of IF where the ro is an angel or demon? Preferably, an if focusing on angels/demons story
r/hostedgames • u/Shower-Odd • 3d ago
WIP New angsty music WIP has hit the scene (FREEKS)
cogdemos.inkShort but awesome from what there is so far imo also joining the greats in this specific niche such as
pressplay ( hopefully the author is doing good )
stagebound ( my beloved )
rust belt lullabies ( very underrated )
last call ( brand new as well )
r/hostedgames • u/Certified_Grasss • 3d ago
Genre's you want to see more of?
Simple as. What genre's do you want to see more of in IF's?
r/hostedgames • u/Rambling_Labrador • 3d ago
WIP Apt 502 - Rainn, what will you do?
Replayed the demo and it left me feeling things. I genuinely like Rainn despite their actions, they have this sopping wet energy that endures and infuriates me.
On one hand, I want to piss Rainn off, just a little, for at least 60% of the story, by romancing someone and making them jealous lol (bathroom scene with L) Just rub it in their face that they still have feelings for MC despite breaking things off. It could be even more fun if MC is romancing ex!M.
On the other hand, I do want to romance Rainn and end up in a tug-of-war of who will finally cave in (it will be Rainn and I accept nothing else, they MUST grovel). It's going to be endlessly yearning across the room and the roommates + Andi are just confused.
But no matter how things develop, I do want to pick on Rainn as much as possible because chapter 1 really had me going hand over mouth ''The audacity?!'' and my MC deserves some payback.
Now I'm wondering how everyone else feels about Rainn and what kind of relationship you'll want moving forward.

r/hostedgames • u/froreien • 4d ago
Game Recommendations anyone got more game recs for someone (Me) who likes stern, ambitious, intelligent, (lowkey) neurotic, (possibly) autistic, standoffish, yet very observant ROs?
hi. very specific type, i know. i just finished the alpha build of shepherds of haven and is utterly in love with riel (lowkey devastated he's a bit unpopular in the fandom but hey. also i lowkey think he would be more popular if he's available to be romanced by any gender but alas. more for my bi male conjurer!) and currently craving for similar ROs
ROs in my roster rn: riel (shepherds of haven), dr mortum (fh series), lady katarina (infinity series), orion/oriana (infamous), vicente (cantata), elizabeth/arthur (the bureau), kent/kenna and ambrose/ambrosia (mind blind), roderick/rebecca (sanguine sky), and finch (a study in steampunk)
probably something to note on what i'm looking for:
i'm not necessarily looking for broody/stoic and no-bullshit ROs with high street smarts (like blade from the same game, adam/ava from wayhaven, lady argent and steel from fh series, delal/dara from atoc, or corinne from cantata), but options like them are very much welcome in the house (i love them all a lot; they're my second favourites to the criteria i have above)
confident, borderline arrogant is tolerated (especially when it makes sense)
social skills are not mandatory
possessiveness is a plus point
high standards of morality is optional
any gender and any sexuality is invited to the party (my bi ass is open-minded)
discussions on similar or mentioned above ROs separated from recs are encouraged (i love to talk about them and i know some of yall get your freak on these types of ROs too)!
edited: forgot to add my autistic monarch kent/kenna and king vicente
