![]() This is one of the first Visual Novels I played and still holds up as one of the best that I’ve experienced, even after all this time. ![]() The story also gets a bit outlandish towards the end, losing some of the delicious psychological edge the story starts with, but these are minor flaws in an otherwise wonderful game! The downsides are it has no traditional “routes” for the girls only different endings. The game is highly atmospheric and extremely immersive using several clever game mechanics like false computer screens as well as some beautiful visuals (much love for character sprites with mouth movement) to achieve this. It sets you squarely in the mind of a paranoid NEET who has all sorts of delusions both pleasurable and horrific. Thankfully, unlike the terrible anime adaptation, Chaos:Head the VN is an incredible game in many regards. If you only know this title from the anime then you have my sympathies. This list is going to be in alphabetical order and I will provide a link for each one to its respective VNDB link that can provide you with all the info you’d need (genre, story synopsis, places you can buy and/or translators site). Also I don’t touch games before they’ve been fully translated so something like say… Little Busters (still waiting for the Ecstasy content to be translated) or Steins:Gate (still waiting for the translation to be properly edited and a few other things to be translated) so that would be why a few games you might know and love aren’t on here as well! So just because something isn’t listed here doesn’t mean I think it’s bad - tather it’s just wasn’t something to my liking ( Kara no Shoujo is a good recent example of this). Now I know opinion in general is by its nature subjective, but to me VN’s invoke this more then anything else. Now a few caveats before we start…For one this list is highly subjective. While highly enjoyable, these games can take a significant time investment and as someone whose played…well let’s just say a considerable amount of them, I thought I would offer this list as a way to help ease people into the genre in the least painful way possible! ![]() ![]() So what exactly is this post all about? Well, I guess you could call it a recommendations list of translated VN’s. You might be more familiar with the term Eroge and really the only difference between it and Visual Novels is Eroge is used for games that contain sex (aka ero) so you’ll probably see me use both terms in the article. Hello all! It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted on the blog hasn’t it? Although sadly this is not a figure review (I will get back to those in the future - honest!), it is about something that’s just as near and dear to my heart…Visual Novels! ![]()
