Friendly Favours is a Ren'Py visual novel by ParkedHearts. You play a male protagonist who has just moved to a new city and meets Yuka, a friendly neighbour from his apartment building. The story follows their growing connection, offering two endings while emphasizing the journey. It draws on wholesome slice-of-life doujinshi and anime, using 2D animated CG art to explore romance and teasing.
Development is ongoing, and the current build is v1.05, released May 20, 2024. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, is in English, and is uncensored. This 2-year anniversary update includes a major art overhaul, improved shading on every Yuka sprite, brighter colouring in every CG, and three new animations. It also adds new intimate scenes and additional explicit CGs, plus new facial expressions for Yuka.
Developer's description
You just moved to a city and made your first friend: a friendly neighbour from your apartment building named Yuka. You both hit it off instantly, but will you end up as just friends, or more? There are 2 endings to the story, but it's more about the journey than the destination! Friendly Favours is inspired by the "wholesome" tag of slice-of-life doujinshis and anime. Learn about the main character and Yuka, their stories, and what draws them together.
