Contrary to its colorful artwork, this game deals with many heavy real-world issues that may be uncomfortable to some. Sentimental Trickster is a darker take on the yaoi genre; viewer discretion is advised.
Pulled from the ashes of a 2016 crowdfunding campaign, Sentimental Trickster almost never saw the light of day due to the severe health problems of the developer. Y Press Games is proud to finally bring Sentimental Trickster to the masses! We present the game with three initial love interests, while providing the developer ample time to complete the fourth route. Thanks to everyone who patiently waited for this incredible game!
