Recently on our sister site Doujins.com I covered the meteoric rise of sex games on Steam after Valve did a 180 with their treatment of lewder titles and opened up the market as long as the game was legitimate and properly labeled. In the beginning we saw a ton of ecchi float to the surface to test the waters, and after several were promoted on the Trending and Top Releases sections on Steam, now we have devs out here releasing full on hentai projects. One of those devs, Cyberframe Studios, currently has their upcoming title Vaygren - Lustful Temptation on sale for an Early Access discounted price of around $7 with the complete visual novel expected by mid 2025.
With that face, I can think of a few possible explanations.
So far the game has a small amount of reviews (72) but a Very Positive review score of 97% at the time of writing. The team self-admits in the summary section that it's a very traditional visual novel on paper, however it’s their dedication to visuals and presentation that will make it stand out. According to the reviews, they are right on the money. Players seem to be captivated by the high production value of the title, with some claiming they wished non-porn VNs contained this same level of attention to detail and quality. From the reviews I see as well as the fact that the dev team’s Twitter mentions sticking a dick on a girl, it’s safe to say you’ll probably need to have a preference for futa in order to get the most out of it. Luckily for me that fits right into your boy’s pocket as long as we’re not talking that weird JAV live-action attempt at futa stuff. And fear not, since Vaygren is powered by Live2D that won’t be an issue here. If you do decide to check out the game, you can explore the first episode at the moment which contains five character routes, voice acting performances, and over 10 animated CGs.
The duality of man.
Looking at this title on Steam reminded me of my past with hentai games, and I’m happy to see their production value continue to skyrocket as more real income is allowed to be generated in the space. Big players like Valve deciding to allow the content is undoubtedly a huge help as people are much more likely to spend some money on a Steam title rather than some game download hosted on the backwaters of the web.
