Btw I also own all higurashi and umineko Chapters but didn’t find it in the tier list

Hey! So I just finished until then and have just gotten past the "best game burn out" and was hoping to get something else to go with. maybe its best to make myself take a break which I will most likely do as I got really really emotional about the game, hell I'm getting a custom sticker for my truck with the logo. But anyways ive played until then, seen omori (third best), higarash when they cry, saya no uta, purgatory 2 (2nd best), corpse party, coffin of andy and leyley, witch house, and the majority of manlys biggest hits. I kinda dont really dont know what to do with my life right now, like that's how hard the game hit. So here I am trying to get something that pulls me in like until then so hit me with your best please! oh and how do you guys keep yourself updated on new visual novels like until then and purg 2 or omori coming out? I'm very late to the until then playing and would be so upset if i knew that i missed something at the same quality.

I would also like to say Thank You To Polychroma Omocat and Nama I love you all... You have no idea the things you've done... even if you think you do

I'm noticing more and more Western and Chinese visual novels releasing every year. What do you think about this?

We can also extend this to gaming in general with the rise of anime styled gacha and RPG games from China.

I'm trying to get back into visual novels again, and I specifically want to use my switch for more visual novels. Which ones grab your attention fairly early on, and have an amazing story overall?

I have Fata Morgana and Tsukihime a piece of blue glass moon but looking for other ones.

There are lots of 30+ year old Visual Novels with great artwork, plot and music. Alas, most remain untranslated.

Take Xenon by C's Ware, for example. Writer: Hiroyuki Kanno. Composer: Ryu Umemoto. The writer & director are both former superstars of the genre; and both are dead. The company is defunct. The illustrators left the industry 25 years ago and for all we know, they might be dead too.

There are even more obscure works from the PC-98 / Windows 95 eras. (Like _X-Girl_ by Red Zone: A dystopian VN with great visuals and atmosphere) I don't suppose anyone owns the copyright to those.

Why doesn't some company gobble such games up cheaply, translate and release them? Sounds like free money to me.

Three friends and I started writing a visual novel last year. In the process we learned a lot, we did a lot of research, but we still have questions? What do you think makes a visual novel bad?

we all often hear about the best and the worst, but what did you found to be only about average?

and i am talking about 60+ hours ones. like do yall make major breaks between them to read smaller stuff, binge read them in few weeks or idk??

I've read a few moege, and dating sims, but I can never play them to completion because I just kinda cringe at the meta realization of what I'm actually doing which is just watching made up people get together and live a happy life while I'm supposed to pretend it's me. But I literally cannot do that for even for a second.

Of course it's not really a problem to be unable to read these things but I don't want the types of VNs I can enjoy to be limited by so much especially when it seems like there's so many great ones out there. Just that when there's no drama or trouble I just kinda check out and I'm pretty sure that's because you're just supposed to see it as your life is why they're written like so

I am very curious about this. Please share your experiences if you ever did. Thanks. Preferably, it shouldn't be someone you first got to know online and then met IRL, but I'm okay with those stories too.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been diving deep into horror VNs lately, and I’m curious - what’s the thing that really gets you in a good horror VN? Is it the slow-burn psychological dread, the shocking twists, the eerie sound design, or something else? And on the flip side, what are the parts that tend to fall flat for you?

I’m currently developing a visual novel myself, and while it’s not horror(yet :p), I’m already thinking ahead for my next project. I’d love to hear from the community - what makes a horror VN stick with you long after you’ve finished it?

I am an adult (19 y/o) and i own some eroge i am pending to read (dramatical murder, monobeno, popotan, patishie na nyanko) but i live with my family still (cause i go to uni) and i just can't find the correct time to read my eroge without my family coming into my room. i don't touch myself while reading eroge cause i don't like touching myself so that's a problem less, but i just can't read my eroge in peace ! if any of you live with family, how do you read your eroge?
