LongStory (GxG and GxB, multiplatform)

I wouldn't have found this one if it had not been added to the VNDB. LongStory is described as "...an episodic dating/adventure game... You play as a girl in her early teens and navigate the school’s social landscape through your decisions and conversations. Solve puzzles and build relationships with new friends and old enemies..."

Looking at the information on the developers' site, it's clear that LongStory is both a visual novel and a romance game. It looks like their goal was to create a relatively realistic story, as the characters seem down to earth. I think it's also an adventure game, as there are a couple mentions of puzzles, and since the main character is trying to solve a mystery. I like the art so far, but I'm not sure how to describe it... the phrase "kinda abstract" comes to mind. It reminds me of Digicub Ltd's individual characters.

A version is currently available on Google Play, and there will be versions for iOS devices, PC, and Mac soon.

Oooh, I like the sound of this! I'm looking forward to this release for the PC in the future!

I'm not a huge fan of episodic games (unless it's on a consoles and you have all the episodes on the cartridge/disc/whatever). But this still sounds pretty neat. Maybe I'll have a chance to try it sometime C:
