alias_sqbrI felt inspired to collect all the romance games for a poll, then decided I couldn't be bothered with the poll after all, but since I'd already made the list here it is anyway!
EDIT: So the number of games has doubled and I am too lazy to go through them all, but have added the ones I noticed.
Listed in brackets are the genders in each romance, first is the player and second is the love interest. A question mark means I couldn't figure it out.
Furries & Scalies & Bears OH MY!: [?/m?] Part Adventure, part Dating Sim, all weird and wild.
Retrace: [f/f] You and your friends find yourself in a strange, unforgiving place. Frantically you seek a way out, but death lurks at every corner, and when it finds you — that’s when your resolve is rewarded with the ability to rewind time. What path will lead you out? What decisions will you have to make? And what secrets will you uncover in the dark?
BAKED:MAGIC: [f/f] The story of a bakery, two witches, a knight, and some muffins.
Ecchi Sketch: Draw Cute Girls Every Day!: [f/f] A talented amateur artist, Yume is suddenly given the opportunity of a lifetime - to be a mangaka at a manga studio! But with so many other attractive girls at the office... will she be able to concentrate?
Some Like It Hot! Will you find Brew Love?: [?/?] Your decisions on and off the job will be what determine the future of the coffee shop. (Not 100% sure this is a romance game)
a completely normal dating simulation that is definitely completely sweet, innocent and normal: [?/m,f] it's just like having an internet boyfriend and/or girlfriend who refuses to show their real face and just uses the avatar of a stick figure! sounds completely great and not suspicious or sketchy at all!
Don't Take it Personally, I Just Don't Like You: [m,f,nb/?] a lo-fi relationship dramedy about camping illegally on government property in the chill of early autumn, having public anxiety attacks in crowded shopping malls, the people we choose to be with, and what we do when they don't choose us back.
Changeling: [f/?] a non-stat raising, full-length visual novel about love, reconciliation, and trying to survive in a dangerous supernatural world.
Songs and Flowers: [f/m] a lighthearted, fun story about befriending people and learning about them as you get closer.
Blind Men: [m/m] a boys' love visual novel that follows a young super villain as he carries out his first big heist.
Starlight Shores (demo): [m/f] After your childhood friend Theo wins a weekend getaway to the town of Seaside, you prepare to spend your birthday in paradise. (note: Theo is a girl)
Destiny Fails Us: [f/m] takes place in the Pacific Northwest, in the fictional town of Moirai. It follows the life of Idril Ar'Feinel, a girl who spends most of her time playing video games instead of doing her homework.
As We Know It: [f/m,f] When the world gets too hot humanity finds sanctuary underground. Unravel what’s going on, and face
some hard choices that will impact your relationships and fate.
This World Unknown: [f/m] a fantasy-themed otome game.
Brassica - A Marry Tale: [m/m] A BL fairy tale visual novel. For every political marriage, there might very well be a (gay) alternative...
Embedded Heart: [m/m] Mell and Kettec are attracted inexorably to one another, but to survive, the pair will have to navigate the twisted underground passages and the equally warped government of Capath. (a book)
Love Hues!: [any/m, f, nb] a university-based visual novel packed with both character and world secrets.
Dungeons and Lesbians: [f/f] a 30~min( x4? ) illusion of having both love and friendship
Highway Blossoms: [f/f] the new definitive romance treasure hunt road trip experience.
I have already played, and rec:
Verdant Skies: [unstated/m,f, nb] A cute farming sim set in space where all the love interests are bi and several of them are poly.
Serre: [f/f] A cute little f/f romance about a lonely gardener meeting a bee alien.
I have played some and had mixed feelings:
That Which Binds Us [f/m] a josei otome visual novel. Idris is a bonds man- With his knife, he's able to sever any ties a person has with someone else, permanently, making the other person completely forget about his client. Played the demo and wasn't grabbed by it.
Seduce Me: [f/f,m] Dating Sim where you get to tell your story with a family of five demon brothers from the moment you meet the incubi to the day you say I do to your favorite incubus. f/f routes had their moments but very underwritten.
Blue Rose: [f/m, f] an interactive 'visual novel', following the viewpoint of the female knight Lena as she enters an unknown world deep in the mountains. Played the demo and wasn't grabbed.
