The Best Hentai Visual Novel Games to Play in 2023

There are so many hentai visual novel games available today, it's impossible to pick which one is the best hentai visual novel. Although the genre has really expanded recently and hentai visual novel games have become quite popular, it has not always been the case. In fact, little do people know, but visual novels have an interesting dark history.

Okay, not that dark! But the first VN was a murder mystery – 1983’s Portopia Serial Murder Case from Enix. The game blew the doors wide open for the genre, as nobody had ever seen anything quite like it. From the immersive, interactive environments to the branching story, Portopia was a brave new world for gaming – and the birth of the visual novel. 

It wasn’t long before horny game devs made history in a post-Portopia world, developers big and small borrowed ideas from Portopia and applied them to erotic scenarios. Throughout the ‘80s, erotic RPGs and visual novel games started cropping up from major and minor publishers. But it was really Dokyusei – the birthplace of the dating sim, released in 1992 – that put them on the map for most people. Developed by Elf, it was the first VN where each branch out path was a different girl. Players had to choose the right dialogue to acquire the “route” they wanted to take, which was a novel idea at the time!

Over 30 years later, hentai visual novel games have grown bigger than any of the Portopia or Dokyusei devs likely ever anticipated. Visual novels are a multi-million dollar juggernaut of a genre, from indie successes to smash-hit mainstream releases, but of course, you’re here for one reason and one reason only: hentai! There are so many erotic visual novels out there – some may say too many – and it can be difficult to decide between all of them.

Fortunately, Nutaku is here with a curated list of the best, hottest, and freshest hentai visual novel games we’ve got on the platform. No mysteries here – let’s dive right in!

Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll

Move over Behind The Music! This is a dramatic hentai visual novel that follows a struggling musician who is just trying to make his dreams come true. Without the support of his family, all he’s got is a guitar and a dream. Luckily, he gets by with a little help from his friends – Kagome, Himitsu, Ellie, and Catherine.

Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll lets you live out a musical drama with four main routes – each focused on one of the girls. Will it be his lovelorn ex, or the shy class rep? Maybe the childhood friend or the snobby rich girl? Whoever you pick, the game delivers an erotic and romantic journey through the life and times of a future rock star.

Daraku Gear

Daraku Gear isn’t strictly an erotic visual novel – it’s a full-fledged genre hybrid. The elaborate and involved RPG is held together by VN sequences where you meet, greet and recruit new girls. After putting them through intense training, they become the ultimate sex warriors who are ready for battle – and sexual satisfaction. Each girl has a number of intense, hardcore 3D sex scenes to unlock as well, which means there’s plenty to sink your fangs into with Daraku Gear, no matter what kind of player you are.

A Housewife’s Healing Touch 

Most hentai visual novel games cram all of their routes into one release. But A Housewife’s Healing Touch is so jam-packed with content, Alice Soft couldn’t fit it all in one release! There are two versions – Pure Love and NTR. What’s funny is that both actually feature NTR anyway, but we’re not picky. 

Healing Touch is a sexy high fantasy romp with 40 sex scenes to discover across both releases. The game follows a beloved village leader in any unhappy marriage. Players can either choose to start a new hardcore romance with a seductive hero, or turn themselves loose to screw everyone in town! Your husband’s going to hate you either way, so hey – why not have some fun with it?

Fortunately, his culinary abilities save his bacon, and he’s put to work in a maid cafe unlike any other. 

Fantasy Tavern Sextet is a slice-of-life isekai crashed into a rollicking adventure story. The cast is loaded with magically delicious babes, and the story is involved enough to last for three entries (so far!). If you’re looking for a game with some meat on its bones, look no further.
