OP: Free fantasy visual novels worth trying

Lately I've been burnt out on all these mainstream RPGs and needed a break, so I fired up some free VNs on my phone during lunch breaks—super chill way to unwind. But man, the fantasy ones always pull me in hardest, like escaping to a world with hidden realms and everyday folks stumbling into wild adventures. Anyone got recs for free visual novels with those fantasy elements? Preferably newish indies where choices actually matter and there's some steamy tension building up. Lay 'em on me!

Totally feel you on the phone VN sessions—nothing beats sneaking in a chapter while waiting for food. I picked up Playing the Girlfriend not long ago after seeing it pop up in my feeds; it's this fresh 0.1 from NoctaEterni where you step into a married woman's shoes helping a neighbor, and subtle fantasy layers creep in with temptations and risky schemes that flip her whole routine upside down. Slow build with branching paths that ramp up the heat nicely. Easy grab from https://incestgames.net/playing-the-girlfriend-version-0-1/ , about 1.3GB for Win/Mac, no fuss install.

These early builds from new devs pack so much polish now, even on modest hardware—tried a few last night on my aging rig, and the Ren'Py engine handled 1080p scenes without a hitch after I bumped up the virtual memory in settings. Handy trick if you're juggling multiple games: use a modded save editor like JSON tweaks for quick path unlocks, cuts replay time in half for testing bad ends. Just zip your progress folder first to avoid wipeouts on updates.
