ChariKiss

ChariKiss is a story-driven casual game where players follow Charity, a freshman in college, as she begins her academic journey in a remote town. Players will encounter many girls with diverse personalities, studying together and engaging in fun interactions and mini-games at parties, gradually winning their hearts. Players will also face various challenges: are you truly sure of the girls' feelings for you—is it out of politeness or genuine affection? Will you test the waters or confess directly, triggering animated scenes of deeper interactions? Everything is up to the player's choices.

Story of ChariKiss:

Meet Charity, a college freshman who just moved to the middle of nowhere to attend St. Bernadette's University. With her beloved houseplant Hubert as her only confidant and a determination to "kiss women and fu-" well, you'll see! She's ready for independence. What she didn't realize? St. Bernadette's is an all-girls university. Talk about happy accidents!

Charity's first days at college are a rollercoaster of new crushes, inner monologues, and foot-in-mouth moments. Between getting lost on the one-line subway (how??) and trying not to stare at her teacher's assets, she'll meet a cast of charming girls – each with their own quirks and romance potential.

Follow along as Charity navigates her way through awkward sleepovers, surprise shower encounters, and the one eternal lesbian question: "Was that flirting or just being nice?" Her thoughts are unfiltered, her social skills are questionable, and her heart is ready for adventure.

Changelog:

I just put out a massive update for the fishing update of ChariKiss that I think is worth bringing attention to. I have put in a very large amount of effort tuning the systems to feel smooth and satisfying as well as adding in more game modes, difficulties, new keybinds ('z' and 'x') and custom beatmaps! Get a streak of 200 in endless mode and unlock special scenes and reward renders for each of the love interests in the game! See if you can beat your friend's scores in the new mania mode with a new combo and star rating system! There is potentially a few hours of fun to be found in here for those whose interests it aligns with.  Quite literally an entirely new game has been built within the framework of ChariKiss, and if there is interest I will continue to add more playable songs over time all with custom beatmaps with multiple difficulties! Thank you everyone for your time and support and I really hope you give this a shot, I think it's a lot of fun after my many many hours of playtesting!

Player Comments of ChariKiss:

I am so excited for this one! Gave it a try a while back, liked it enough to want to come back after a few updates. I came back to it for v0.6 and it didn't disappoint. Except for that cliffhanger at the end of v.0.6. Pure evil.This a MOSTLY wholesome yuri visual novel. I say mostly because there is some heavy discussion / confrontation at moments, but so far it's nothing crazy. There was a brief moment in the story where I was suddenly concerned that this was going to become another Lesson in Live (I am so sick of that genre) but my concerns weren't realized, thankfully.The humor is genuinely great, in my opinion. Charity is a very funny and cute MC. She is a bit of a chaotic goofball and it is done so well. So many try to do this and fail, often relying far too much on memes, or the comedic timing is all over the place, and it just gets to be cringe. But I never felt that way about her internal monologues or yapping. The supporting cast is all mostly great too. There are SOME tropes among them, but they're done well and their characters designs are all cute. Ai, Hinata and Rise are my favorites so far, but I enjoy them all.If I had to knock this one for anything, it's that this game is looking to be a bit of a slow burn for lewd content. The lewd content so far is basically non-existent. There is some nudity and groping, but nothing beyond that. So if that is all you really care about, there is hours of reading to do before you get there - whenever that shows up. Anymore if something looks to be a slow burn, I eventually drop it after much frustration. BUT, I enjoyed this one so much I'm willing to be patient.It is rare that the thing I love most about one of these games is the MC, but I love Charity man. Can't wait for more.

ChariKiss is a cute yuri visual novel. It's nominally classified as an adult VN but what few lewd-ish events there are don't happen until a little ways in. If you're here for a quick fap, there are probably better choices, but if you value storytelling, characters, and cuteness then the game deserves full marks, hence the 5 star rating.There's a diverse cast and so far none of the characters have turned out to be the one-note archetypes that they seem to be at first glance. The writing is solid and the dialogue flows well. Now that more of the narrative has been revealed, I'm loving the direction the story has gone.The renders have improved with every update, and as of the latest version I would consider ChariKiss to deserve a spot among the other top Koi AVNs on visuals alone.Easy 5/5, can't wait for more updates.

Final words:

Players will encounter a group of beautiful girls in a remote town, spending their university years and daily life together, creating memories in various settings, gradually winning each other's hearts, unlocking intimate scenes, and having wonderful university moments together.
