Mega Casanova: an adults-only Mega Drive visual novel from the Russian homebrew scene
Mega Casanova is an adult-oriented visual novel for the Mega Drive that mixes an interactive comic with a small arcade section. Its itch.io listing credits the developers TLT and Tomahomae and dates it to 2016; the forum announcement came on 13 December 2016, when the Mega Drive developer SegaTim presented the port on the SpritesMind forum, with sound by Stef's XGM driver v2. The premise it opens with is a playful question about your girlfriend's tastes, and the goal is romantic conquest. Everything here is aimed at adults.
