I recently finished YOU and ME and HER, and honestly, I feel so empty now that it's over. I loved this game so much that it's hard to put into words. I got so attached to the experience, and knowing that I've finally reached the end makes me feel weirdly sad. I just wish I could experience it all over again for the first time.

The thing is, this isn't the first time this has happened to me. Every visual novel I've played has eventually become an obsession for me. Doki Doki Literature Club!, all the Danganronpa games, NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD, and now YOU and ME and HER. Whenever I get into one of these games, I end up thinking about it constantly, getting attached to the characters, looking up more content, and wanting to learn everything about it. I genuinely love these games so much, and I don't think I've ever gotten this attached to any other type of game.

Now I'm left with that empty feeling you get when you finish something you really love, and I NEED something new to obsess over lmao.

So please, recommend me your favorite visual novels! I want something that will completely suck me in, make me care about its characters, leave me thinking about it long after I finish it, and maybe even emotionally destroy me a little.

I want to fall in love with another story. I want another obsession. I just want to experience that feeling again.

Thank you!!

Heyo everyone! We’re a five-man indie team from Taiwan called PHOSEPO and this here is our latest project, Psycho-Sleuth.

The story is about 13 people who are trapped in a death game organized by the insidious Li Cult. The prize for winning? Why, no less than the chance to ascend to Godhood… if they can get away with murder most foul!

However, none of the characters participating in this deadly trial are exactly normal, not by a long stretch. For example, one witness cannot lie even if they wanted to, while another has spatial neglect and cannot see the whole left section of the room. A third cannot distinguish between different faces. A fourth believes she is dead… and so on, you get the idea (I’m not giving them all away here, that would ruin the fun)

The catch here is that these conditions spread to everyone around them, making for a thrilling and oftentimes darkly comedic (and sometimes simply terrifying) game of cat and mouse. Trust becomes complicated when even the most sincere witness can be wrong, while someone with malicious intentions might reveal the truth without realizing it.

Be that as it may, your duty is to investigate the murders, work out what each witness could actually perceive, then pick apart their testimony in timed debates. If you've played any of the Ace Attorney games, the gameplay should already feel somewhat familiar to you.

Our demo is on Steam right now, covering Chapter 1 and the start of Chapter 2:

The full game will launch on November 5!

Also, feel free to ask any more specific questions you might have about our game, I’ll stick around for a while and answer what I can.

Aoi supremacy!!! Def my first choice.. since I saw her👀 hope you like my cos!

I remember this visual novel where the premise is ur a guy who lived with ur aunt and step sister in a way because ur dad died and left h with debt and ur aunt took you in.

U start the game where u basically revive? Regress or whatever into the past with ur future memories intact and u basically lock in and do jobs and use ur future knowledge to make everything better for u and ur family in this life

There are a lot of characters I can remember

"Milf" aunt

White haired best friend with a sis complex

Tanned Tomboy gf

Black buff guy with an afro who trains u in the park

Tsundere step sis with red/pink hair

Ramen guy where u clean a toilet bowl and eat ramen off of it

Daughter of ramen guy

A nerd who likes the sister of the white haired best friend

I have all this info but I can't seem to find it anybody have 😭

Trying to launch the visual novel but get this error. Happens in a VM too for what it matters (locale set to Japanese too). Tried installing DirectX from WineTricks, but same thing.

Tried Heroic Launcher on Linux and Windows VM.

Edit: Apparently 7zip messes up (some? all?) filenames during extraction, that is, it makes them all uppercase letters, which then tends to make the game not launch. So mounting the game image works.

This is a romance focused Yuri VN where you get caught in a love triangle with your imaginary friends who suddenly became real!

Features:

•2 main routes, one for Robin and one for Venus, along with a secret 3rd route.

•Fully voiced characters and beautiful art, a 100% human made experience.

•Lots of Yuri and girl kissing!

Do you guys know any VN composers who speak English at a good level?

I feel like this is a pretty controversial opinion in the VN community, but I honestly dont think the fact that a visual novel is the original source material automatically makes it better than its anime adaptation.

Sometimes I actually prefer the anime.

A good example for me is Clannad. I personally enjoyed the anime more than the VN. I thought the pacing was much better, the visuals were more appealing, and I appreciated that the adaptation cut down on a lot of the slice of life content. That's just ä something I dont particularly enjoy.

Or Steins Gate, similar reasons to Clannad.

And I feel like anime adaptations of VNs sometimes get criticized almost automatically simply because they're adaptations. There is this narrative of "the VN is the real experience, the anime is just a butchered version" even when the anime might genuinely be better sometimes.

I sometimes get the impression that people overhate adaptations because liking the original feels more "cultured" or gives them a sense of feeling more niche. Obviously that's not everyone, but I definitely feel like this attitude exists.

That said, I'm definitely not saying VNs are always better either.

There are plenty of cases where the VN absolutely wins.

Umineko is probably the biggest example for me. The anime adaptation is way too rushed, especially considering how much content and characterization had to be cut.

And White Album 2 is another one where I strongly prefer the VN.

Or the Kara no Shoujo "adaptation" which is basically just a short hentai.

Im not trying to argue "anime adaptations are better than VNs." My point is more that I think we should judge them as their own works instead of automatically assuming that the original source is superior.

Sometimes an adaptation genuinely improves the experience for certain people.

What are some VNs where you actually prefer the anime adaptation?

feel free to ask me anything ^^

So I want to start reading visual novel but I don't know where to start,I only read Doki Doki literature club and the first two Danganronpa games. What other VN should I read? I don't mind about the genre or how long is it

Hello! I have been so excited working on this project. I feel it is turning out very well and the game is btw 100% free. Full disclosure: The game is vibe coded (coding by ai) but it does feature a tremendous amount of my own writing and story. It has an innovative conversation cube system that I would love to hear your feedback on. You are attempting to adopt cute aliens whom you will send on prospecting missions. I am wondering what other kinds of elements I could incorporate that people would enjoy. This is going to be a long term project for me after all.

We have 3 aliens so far and I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you enjoy this writing style and what you feel could use improvement. Anything that you like and dislike. I am adding new features every week and your game saves automatically. Please let me know what you think! I've never had more fun my life and being able to create my own visual novels with this technology and finally put my creativity to use is really inspiring.

I really love SCA-DIs vns in the end sky series, do you think Id enjoy Sakura no uta?

I finished the original Tsukihime recently, and now I suddenly have a huge urge to reread Fate/stay night.

I finished Fate a few months ago, and it was probably one of the VNs that impacted me the most. I was planning to move on to something new, but after finishing Tsukihime I've been feeling really nostalgic for Fate and the whole Type-Moon atmosphere.

Part of me thinks it's kind of stupid to reread a 60+ hour VN when there are so many new things I could read, but at the same time... I genuinely want to go back to it.

For people who have reread Fate after finishing Tsukihime: did you enjoy the reread more because you already knew the story? Did Tsukihime change the way you looked at Fate at all?

I also haven't read Hollow Ataraxia yet, so I'm wondering if I should just reread Fate first and then finally move on to Ataraxia.

I know the obvious answer is "read whatever you want", but I'm curious if anyone else has had that feeling of wanting to go back home to a VN instead of starting something new lol.

I finally finished Tsukihime and honestly, what a weird journey this VN was.

I started thinking Arcueid was going to be my favorite and ended up completely loving Hisui's route. For me, Hisui's route is easily the best one.

What surprised me the most was how the story makes you reinterpret things you had already seen before. There were several reveals that had me thinking, "HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THIS BEFORE?"

Kohaku being behind everything was something I genuinely did not expect, and it completely opened my eyes. After finding that out, so many things that happened earlier start looking completely different.

I also loved how Hisui's route makes things that seemed small or simply weird in the previous routes suddenly make sense. That feeling of slowly putting the pieces of the puzzle together was probably what I enjoyed the most.

My ranking right now would be:

Hisui > Akiha > Arcueid > Ciel

And definitely:

Far Side > Near Side.

Honestly, after finishing it I was left with that feeling of "what the hell am I supposed to do now?"

Tsukihime definitely earned a special place among the VNs I've read. I didn't expect such an old VN to get me this invested.
