So, when BMP disbanded in 2015, I was not exactly shedding any tears, of course that wasn’t the last we’d heard of the company now branded under the new name, Herculion , with their upcoming title, Full Service still in development. Despite their gorgeous art design and beautifully choreographed sexual content, the stories and plotlines were thin, barely enough to warrant spending 50 bucks on what amounted to glorified CG sets. And while I fully admit to loving BL media in all its (at times problematic) glory, I could not for the life of me enjoy BMP’s games. They released two full 18+ BL games, Sleepover (2014) and Bacchikoi(2014 Bacchikoi Expansion Pack 2015), and a standalone kinetic novel, Offscreen Scandal (2012). If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that I have a love-hate relationship with the now defunct BL media distributor. MangaGamer and more recently JAST BLUE have taken it upon themselves to localize more “mainstream” BL games, but before that there was Black Monkey Pro. Despite the recent influx of indie BL visual novels and games, there are still very few developers dedicated to bringing BL gaming to western audiences.
