Glow of Honeydew

Editorial Worth it

Glow of Honeydew is a haunting one-hour visual novel about two women whose relationship becomes increasingly twisted and tragic. Players consistently praise the striking low-poly art style, atmospheric soundtrack, and layered character writing—Tels and Kit feel visceral and real, their dynamic mesmerizing even as it deteriorates. The story pivots into unsettling and surreal territory, culminating in a revelation that recontextualizes everything; many reviewers describe being emotionally devastated, describing the experience as beautiful but deeply sad. The game wears its erotic framing lightly (one intimate scene) but centers emotional and psychological horror instead. Opinion is unanimous on craft and artistic merit, though prospective players should know this is a tragedy with no happy ending—it exists to hurt, and it does so deliberately and well.
