a positive review on steam, played for 3.1 hours. the review says: "clicker games are a great way to relax and stim after a long day of thinking. yuri is a great way to revitalize yourself after the world wearies you with its agonies. Therefore this game is a medical grade brain soothing treatment." this was for angel clicker, a yuri incremental game by oldflowerGames. the banner across the top shows portraits of the characters Legion (blue angel, white hair) and Lucifer (red demon, purple hair) from the game, with goofy expressions.

A screenshot from The Left Eye, a visual novel. The image is in monochrome but with a purple tint.

Two characters are leaning back on the pillows of a double bed. On the left is a short, chubby young man holding a cigarette. He is wearing a sports coat and sweater vest and looking annoyed. To his right is an older woman with black hair and a patch over her left eye, reclining with her head tilted up and her arms behind her head. She is wearing a coat and scarf.

The text box takes up the lower quarter of the screen and identifies the speaker as Emile, the man on the left. He is saying: “So when were you going to tell me about that bastard guard in Folsom?”

A screenshot from The Left Eye, a visual novel. The image is in monochrome but with a purple tint.

Two characters are viewed from behind, sitting on a bench in a park. They are sitting in a strongly-lit patch of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees. The man to the left is shorter with curly hair, and the man to the right is taller and thinner with slicked-back hair.

The text box takes up the lower quarter of the screen. A line of narration says: “I wonder if he was unhappy.”

A screenshot from The Left Eye, a visual novel. The image is in monochrome but with a purple tint.

A letterboxed vignette of an older man’s face is shown over a darkened office background. He is holding a 1920s phone receiver to his ear. A line of dialogue below the image says: “You know how it is. Business.”

A screenshot from The Left Eye, a visual novel. The image is in monochrome but with a purple tint.

A man and woman are shown in a bar. The woman stands to the left. She has her hair tied up in a bun, and is wearing a necklace, a dark dress, and white gloves. She has her hands raised as though explaining something, and has a serious expression. To the left is a man with neat, wavy hair in a suit. He is wearing glasses and looks irritable.

The text box takes up the lower quarter of the screen and identifies the speaker as Annabelle, the woman on the left. She is saying: “You’re about to buy the Rose of Florence for a song.”

an oekaki drawing of thierry from dirtbag mahjong laughing condescendingly, going "ohohoho~" and surrounded by sparkles. they are wearing a pair of handcuffs and holding a champagne flute full of rosé.
