Your Dry Delight is a small, noncommercial game by Argent Games! As a historical romantic comedy, it focuses primarily on a lighthearted atmosphere, but we've also striven to be historically accurate and touch on some deeper themes related to Prohibition.
Your Dry Delight also features a somewhat different approach to routes: while there are technically 2 romance routes, they tie together at the end of the story, resulting in a single ending.

DO play this Yaoi VN, it WILL live on in your brain for 5 years and longer.
Love love LOVE the bgm and the glossary is very helpful. Oh and Meyer is totally rizzing me up. His expressions...ugh yes!
very nice game. loved the theme and music. having to go back and re-play the game to see the endingwas a bit dissapointing though, great otherwise.
lessoned learned : please search up what yaoi means before playing said yaoi games
jokes aside, i really enjoyed the story and the characters!!! i love so much of this game!
kind of, uh, fruity 🤨
Kind of? Totally fruity
Only dry thing in this game is me
I FINALLY FOUND IT AGAIN AHDJSBSNDN
I played this years ago from Playstore and forgot the title qwq It was my very first time playing a short visual novel and everything was worth it. This was what literally got me to love the 20s aesthetic and the history, all that jazz.
One of my favorite VNs ever :'))
THIS IS THE BEEST GAME I EVER PLATYED O H MY DAYS. PLEASE I NEED MORE OF RICHTER AND MEYER PWEASEEE
反复品鉴,这部游戏对我来说就像禁酒令下的一杯罗曼尼康帝一样🥵
So damn good the plot amazing I loved it I wish there was more nevertheless a perfect ending
有中文,真好
你说出了我的心声
This game is sooooo good! I love it, but it's just a little bit short ,I wish you guys can make a longer one soon !
This was si funny to play ! At First i found Leslie a bit annoying but i came to love him so much in the end
this game was awesome i never played a romance visual novel this good
I loved this game, it was funny and charming! I also love how they basically become a throuple at the end lol
hey I think I have some problems because I can‘t open it,by the way I use the macOS . Is there anyone can help me?OMG I am looking forward to playing it because it has the Chinese…QAQ
run command "chmod +x *" in terminal at YourDryDelight/Contents/MacOS folder
thx!I will try it
天哪,这简直是年度最佳,配乐恰到好处,更不可思议的是居然有汉化!!!!!!嘎嘎冲
老铁我不知道为什么总是意外退出,救救我吧呜呜呜好不容易找到一个有汉化的QAQ我是mac系统的
找这个游戏文件夹,右边对应有程序应用点开就行,我也不太玩的转电脑...
你是进不去吗?如果是的话只需要按下control键然后再双击打开就行
Hnggg don't stop even when someone knocks the door please
Sometimes I wish this could continue wondering what you would add it's just such a cool game, I wanna download ur other games but my transaction never works 😔 , but then playing your game was SOOO nice
How do u get the other ending pls I keep getting the same thing -_-, but ANYWAYS I love ur game sooooo much u should create more like this it's AMAZING🤩
This was pretty good, I enjoyed the story, the characters, and a lot of the music that went on in the background- it definitely added to the mood. However, one thing I would like to mention is that I did not enjoy the fact that I needed to go back on the other route to reach the ending. I understand how important it is to understand both sides of the story, but maybe if that could have been done without me needing to start over, that would have been wonderful. I'm not trying to be critical though, just something to keep in mind for your next game. All in all though, it was an enjoyable game to play, I enjoyed the characters, the story, the setting, and the way it was all pulled together :D
What does it mean by the "Leslie Route?" I'm fairly new to these games and I don't know what it means. I've tried pressing different choices but it still won't let me continue the story.
Leslie's route (which is focused on his relationship with Richter, instead of Eastman's) can be reached by choosing the options in this screenshot (spoiler warning). Let us know if you're still having any trouble!
Ah thank you! Except for some occasional bugs, I am loving the game so far :)
Fun, slightly steamy, and surprisingly educational game.
Best game I've ever played all I have to say is I want MORE it's so good I spent hours playing without even realizing it. 10/10
My computer is a 32-bit.
So...so I cant play....plz help I want to try this visual novel sooooo bad cuz It matches my taste perfectly *sniff*
Played this game on steam and I love it.
Detailed review below; 5/5 Stars
Overview: This game is great. It's financially accessible, disabled accessible, PG-13, Boy Love Visual Novel with a handy glossary.
Trigger warnings:
There are two love interests but the ending is the same, which makes it a short and sweet game, which I enjoyed while suffering from acute illness.
I mean, I had fever before playing, but I'm pretty sure some of the cuteness of the detective and smoothness of the mobster was also contributing to that. fans self Goodness.
I'm a Baccano lover, and it's made me interested in prohibition era stuff. One of the great things about this game is it has special slang and time relevant words highlighted for you to access in the glossary, to gain a better understanding.
As an autistic person this is fantastic, as I often find figures of speech make 0 sense to me, even if I know roughly in what situations they tend to be used in. Learning some 1920's slang helped me make connections to their modern equivalent slang, and that was pretty awesome. And it'll come in handy when reading the Baccano books I got~
The love interests are incredibly charismatic, I really liked both of them and was satisfied with their routes and the ending! I wish there was more though!
This game is fantastic and I'm especially appreciative of the fact it's free.
Pros:
Cons
Accessibility
Suggestions:
lol I come back 2 years after finishing this and found whoa that's a lot of translations haha. I mean not every game has Chinese translations, including this one at that time, which kinda improved my English...I still consider it one of my favourites after playing dozens of games cuz it's just too amazing. A bit short though because I'm definitely willing to see more lol
Hey! Sorry to bother but when I downloaded the new version(the windows one) of this game (mainly to read the translations) and opened it, it showed me this:

I've tried deleting the old version and re-unzipping the game, but it doesn't work. Any ways to solve this? :(
(btw the old version works fine
Thanks for letting us know about this crash. Can you try the latest version and see the error is gone?
Yes it's gone :) Thank you for fixing it!
I get this crash sometimes on the steam version for certain words, not sure what the issues are but I was playing it last month on steam.
loved this a lot, v cool
its been a year and i still think about this game. it just all slotted together well. I've never seen a thesaurus implemented into a visual novel apart from this one. i learnt things from this game. thank you very much.
I can translate your game into Spanish, if you wish.
Very great game. Sad it was this short xD
I loved every part of it!! It is an amazing free game with a great potential to become bigger than it already is.
The art ,the music,the story.
I basically loved it.
Every character was unique and weren't
hateful.
Even tho I like Leslie more than Meyer, I still loved the scenes with Richter and Meyer together.
Keep on the great work and hopefully there'll be a second release.
How do I say this... quite immersive, sure, but not something that pulls you in easily. A bit fast paced for my liking, but overall, the art was great. Though, I guess you could improve the CGs with a bit more detail and kind of touch up a bit of inconsistencies in the body proportions. The music perfectly balanced and looped + accurate, gentle to the ears and yet, still upbeat. Story was historically accurate, especially with the slang. It's clear that you need to play it 2 times to get the full ending.
6.8/10 pretty good, though could have some improvements
Es increíble, yo lo he jugado antes en mi movil, pero es igual! por favor, esta experiencia vale la pena, JUEGUENLO!!
Love this game!!! The storyline is amazing and the details were so good! Congrats!
Wow....the game is wow.... that's the only thing i can say
¿Esta en español?
What the heck this game was too short! The end scene was great XD
The dictionary, and the overall GUI and aesthetic was fantastic. The story was intriguing and the characters were all very likeable. The BL scenes were subtle and they did not disrupt from the story or personalities of the characters. I liked it lots.
I will for sure be replaying this again.
ALLSO I WANNA DRAW FANART NOW.
keep up the great work!
P.S: the music is catchy as hell
Oh my... I really enjoyed this game! At first I was a little afraid that it will be another typical story with BL , but I was wrong!
Story was mega nice for me to read. I just loved this little details like words that I don't know has links to its meanings. For someone it's nothing, but for me it was really nice thing, especcialy when English it's not my nativ language and some of words was not understable for me. So it's really nice detail.
The music... For the love of Fate, I just love it so much. It was amazingly good for all atmosphere. I don't know how to decribe how much I love it. Even when I ended game I was listening to it.
Right now I'm only sad that I found this game so late! Really amazing job!
the end credits was SO GOOD i really wish i could find the song
