Langmaor
Langmaor is a BL game branch of the Bishoujo game company Will Soft (as are the BL game companies Amanatto and Blue Crescent Moon). To date, Langmaor have released four popular and well received BL games. Following Enzai, their first game, they released Teikoku Sensenki on the 23rd of April 2004. Absolute Obedience was released less than a year later on the 22nd of April 2005.
Langmaor’s last game, Laughter Land, was directed by Yura as with the previous games but the head artist was Yuzuki (Kannagi no Tori) and the scenario writer was Nagano Izumi also from Kannagi no Tori. Laughter Land was released on the 27th of October 2006 and the company has been quiet since then in the line of game releases.

Teikoku Sensenki
Teikoku Sensenki is notable among BL games for including RPG-esque gameplay in its otherwise ordinary visual novel structure. It was released as an all ages game on the PC and PS2 with an 18+ add on disc for the PC version. Like Enzai, the game was re-released at a much lower price in 2007. The game is set in ancient China or somewhere like it and concerns a boy called Seika who, after escaping from a village ruled by a tyrant king, attempts to recruit soldiers to overthrow said king and save the empire etc.

Absolute Obedience
Absolute Obedience is set in 1960s Germany and the protagonists are two “agents” whose business is seducing men for whatever reason. This was the second yaoi game released in English by JAST USA and the most popular. While a lot more light-hearted than Enzai it still has its grim or dodgy moments. It is far superior system-wise though, as the game is divided into chapters, each centred on a particular “target” and with its own self contained endings, making the game far easier to play through if one wishes to get all the scenarios.

Laughter Land
This is a fantasy themed BL game with some shota content. It received fairly good reviews from what I heard but wasn’t as popular as previous games. Its story is that of the main character, Dick, who is bored with his normal life. One day he meets another boy called Guillered who offers to take him away to a magical place called Laughter Land. Accepting the offer, Dick arrives in the titular country but finds it to be not as perfect as he thought etc.
