The real high-level shit is to click through when you're done reading the line but to also toggle on the option to keep voices playing on click, so you still get the feel for the voices while speed reading.

Well actually it's not 2 years yet but my brain is sure I created an account in February 2014 so I'll go with this false memory ^^ I'm creating this thread just to express my thanks and how important Fuwa were for me, even if I don't really post ^^" So, will procede first with a resume of this last 2 years I discovered VN toward the end of 2013, and even thought I still have the same taste, going here broaden them by several miles. Now I'm really interested in utsuge for example. x) So Fuwa, special mention to the skype group, played an important part in my growing. I litteraly grew with you guys. Objectively, Nagi-sensei is the one who has the most important part in it because he invite me into the very first group (Will probably never forget the convo we had in Lolis VS Nee-san *.*). But because of this I pretty much disapeared from the forum, which wasn't my intention xD When I came back here (roughtly 1 year after I disapeared I think) Loligeddon happened and quite the number of drama and salt and the torrent thing, but from my point of view nothing really changed, minus that some of the people I came to knew when I first arrived here vanished, much to my sadness. But nevertheless, Fuwa still managed to make me laugh enough to make my cry and hold my belly tight (yeah I'm looking at you H-scene cliche thread ) Really I spend too much time reading forum instead of reading VN Even though, I'm lurking most of the time I noticed that there is more and more french here xD. And with time passing by I feel like there is more and more people with pecular preference, which is really good if you're interested in it because they can generally answer to your expectation quite well. (just in case my thing is yuri but seems like Dergo took up on my role so for now I'll stay as a yuri ghost here, but fear not I'll evolve even further than any of the yurist here ) But on the other side, we lost some good and bad things. Sadly there is not helping, time is quite cruel for this. Now a text wall for all the main skype group that came into existance thanks to Fuwa (so the first group, FSK, FSG and FSJPG) Feel free to skip this part if it bore you like the rest of this topic xp Some time ago, I heard that those skype group actually has a bad reputation, so I'd like to correct it. I'll be blunt : we are really awful human being there xD We will most of the time shittalk about your favourite thing, but we expect you to not take it badly, you can also shittalk about our waifu, there will always be at least one person who will support you xp But we all respect what you may or may not like, and I'm sure that somewhere reaaaaally deep most of us care for the other, no homo we're all cute 2D grill after all. Sure we have a humor.... special at least, but we don't bit very often. Thought, I won't deny that there was some really retarded drama (well they always happened when I was away so I don't actually know them firsthand ^^" ) Really, if you let loose a little there it's almost always funny. I spend hours (and I really mean it) laughing non-stop at the chat. I litterally grew up with those group, like stated above. It lets my oddball charac and my sadistic side bloom by creating some meme on our member. I mean we all know that Ember (RIP in cooking now :/ ) is a girl, and that Shameful is an uncurable siscon . I like doing jab, and the skype group was the perfect place to train me on doing jab thanks to that feeling of friendship/family. But it's not all good, right now we have a lot of inside joke and meme, so much that months ago Zaka created a surviving guide, and it was completly oblsolete after 1 month xD On the other side, if you managed to catch up thing or stay there long enough, you'll probably find nice friend to share your passion with, and also more personal stuff that can't be displayed here. For example, last May, I collapsed several time, putting me in a hazy state, made me stop my study for the rest of the scholar year, and therefore couldn't pass my year, even though until then I had valided everything. Could have redone this year but, it's likely impossible with my state of mind (hate doing stuff I already did) and my health (40 hours per week is just too much for me now). Well, when I said I had to go to the hospital because of my health they ignored me (allow me this little vengence xp ). But when I tell them that I just learned that I have a lifelong uncurable sickness (not deadly in itself but may create dangerous situation) most of them were genuily worried for me. And even if it changed nearly nothing to how I face it, it felt really nice. It's probably because of them that I'm learning japanese right now (mainly because Nagi-sensei though xp) If it wasn't for them I would probably be somewhere else less happy than now. Really, those group are such an important part of my development on the last 2 years, it's almost ridiculous. So yeah, even if being weird is like a requirement to enjoy the group silliness, I don't want people to thing of the group as cancer or somewhere where there is nothing funny to do. Btw , it seems that for some time now, there is many project growing there, in the shadow like Zealty's tl of Hapymaher . Now to came back to Fuwa, I'd like to express my deepess thanks to @Tay who take up the role of Aeeru and made Fuwa stay alive. Thanks to him, I got to meet you. So, thanks a lot. Fuwa made a lot of small things, without even noticing, to help me in more than one way. I'd like to repay the community as a whole (even those I don't know yet or will maybe never know). But, as it stand now, it's impossible. But soon enough (count years xD) we will maybe pull out a lot of new people in this media we all like. Yes, yes "we" I can't really repay you here, on the forum, but I will work behind the scene on several project, which I hope you will like. So now the last thanks (even the absents ones). Note: tried to write the name in their order of appearence, but they may be off because of my fuzy memory so sorry ^^" So sensei, thanks for a lot of stuff, may your loli imouto never leave you ;p Ember, you were my first meme, and a really fun person to meddle with right Emby Green, just one thing, GREEEEEEEEEEEN!!!! Lefon, my first yuri comrade when the two main faction were Lolis and Nee-san and no one would care about yuri, and also the man who made the entire population on England disapear xD May the conspiracy stay with you. Bucket, I miss trolling you x) Jay, may the karaoke stay our den for some more years. Nini, where did you go? I miss your recording é_è Dim, the very first Onee-san of the group, may you stay a good Onee-san Shameful, goddammit when will you get your sis, if you stay like that you'll be soon ntr by HMN hope you can still cope with the annoying joke HMN, brave soldier who died on the battlefiel, knows that I'm waiting for your resurrection this summer Monmon, the trap lover from the start and until the end. Kuu-chan, or the best tsundere you can hope for, hope you'll be fine like now. Joris, the beard master, also the only one with his face as skype avatar that doesn't shock me ^^ Josh, please be back soon, I need someone to pester me to do some writting x) Krill, glad you're pretty much fine now and may you never betray the sweet love that yandere give. Sajaki, may you not stray from the yuri path ^^ Ohio, your national neko [omited] slut, where are you?

I would have have really liked to see a route for Tokita Yuki from G-Senjou no Maou. I feel like she's easily more interesting than any of the main heroines other than Haru in the story and certainly far more so than her sister.

Just saying that I was already watching hentai when I was 12

Someone's gonna do it, so it may as well be me. That being said, the term 'soccer' originated in England not America. So blame the Brits for that term

Let's instead not be honest and remember that this is the Majikoi A project discussion thread. I'm very happy for you and Ren that you have very strong opinions on a beloved VN, but we are not interested in them, so please make a new thread for this sort of discussions, if possible.

Dont join the scrub bandwagoners. Vote/root for the VN you want to win. Polls/competitions like this get ruined because of morons who just jump the bandwagon and dont do their research or indecisive fools who just follow the majority.

Damn it, now I have to make a list. Feet (Pretty much my biggest fetish. I like almost everything feet related) Knee-high/Thigh-high socks (I would sell a kidney just to be stepped on by someone wearing some) Armpits (Kind of a weird fondness I grew, but it happened) Femdom (Probably what I read the most of) Pegging (Hey, if you got a hole, you might as well use it) Futas (Not just futa on futa/girls but also really enjoy futa on males) Cbt (Depends on the type of play exactly but I normally like quite a few types) BDSM (Goes well with the above too) Traps (If it looks like a cute girl, I'm okay with it) Rape (Male rape mostly) NTR (Both male and female, although I like male better, but female is nice with some mind breaking) Watersports (Some people think it's gross but I'd be cool with a grill peeing on me) Vore (This one is obviously a fictional fetish but I enjoy quite a few vore centered comics) Lactation (Again a weird one, I even ended up translating a tankoubon about lesbians that lactated) Monster girls (All kinds of them, but my favorite are slime girls) Mind breaking (This goes well with almost anything) Bbw (Not super super fat, but I do like chubby girls) Corruption (There's nothing better than moral degradation) Disabilities (I blame Katawa Shoujo for this one) Feminization (When a guy, especially the protag, is mentally turned into a girl) Yanderes (Yes, even the kind that kill you) Yuri (Yuri is love. Yuri is life) Exhibitionism (Go bold or go home) I think this is actually the first time I list down every single one of my 2D fetishes. There might be more I can't think of right now off the top of my head since I read a lot of stuff. I left some really specific stuff out and tried to keep it general (like listing monster girls instead of all kinds of monster girls I like), otherwise I'd never finish this.

Imouto Paradise? That's just a joke though...now now in all seriousness let's see... The all ages version of nekopara, grisaia , Princess Evangile, Kira Kira aswell among some that could interest her and are relatively age safe

Or Hanahira!

Yeah, go for Sharin. It's the closest you'll get to G-Senjou. Now, these recommendations will be based off of my own tastes, although I will stay within the bounds of what you want. I'd check Symphonic Rain and Grisaia no Kajitsu for pretty good stories with solid romance that mostly stay in the bounds of a common setting, but do escape it (Grisaia in particular does it spectacularly, specially in the sequels). If you're looking for good story twists, check out SR and Grisaia- grisaia having the added benefit of a protagonist that's unique, has a good background and kicks ass, If you're fine with philosophy, broken humans beings and mind-bending twists to go along with your romance, check out Cross Channel. If you're fine with something a tad more out of place, with superpowers and the like, I'd check Ayakashibito and Comyu. That's chuunige territory- If the highlight of G-Senjou to you was the showdown in Haru's route, I'd check those two out. They have really good stories and good romance. The strength of those games doesn't really stop there, though- the heroine routes will be, for the most part, pretty good even if you don't like the heroines themselves, which is neat. If a good battle scene can get your blood pumping, you should watch out for these. There's a lot more I could suggest, but I'll stop with these five titles. Hope you have fun.

Sharin no Kuni made by the same company if you haven't played it yet its worth playing through and its my third favorite VN after Rewrite and g-senjou

Only for H-scenes. Edit: Most VNs have some kind of flash or pause that occurs at the end of h-scenes... it isn't always obvious, but once you've picked up the knack for it, it is easy to stop the text at the point where the sex ends.

Well... Really want a FD of noble works with Chiaki and Makoto. -- And Miya from Amagami But i know this was impossible in 15+ game...

Couldn't agree more. Why give so much focus to this cute and funny girl with her obvious crush if you're not gonna let me have the protagonist reciprocate. That's just cruel to the both of us. She has a route in the fandisc though. But I assume it's not very long since VNDB says " ...and 5 short stories for the sub-heroines". But at least it's something. Now if I'm gonna add something myself I should mention Riki's male friends in Little Busters Little Busters could just had been about the titular busters themselves (Rin included) and I still probably would had been satisfied.

A Visual Novel set in Space. Fulfill your duty. Fall in love. Betray your friends. Get murdered by an A.I. Welcome aboard the Everett. OVERVIEW Quantum Suicide by Cotton Candy Cyanide is inspired by story-driven Japanese Visual Novels such as Danganronpa, and the Virtues Last Reward series. In Quantum Suicide, you play as a researcher aboard a spaceship on an epic mission to find humanity a new home. You have the ability to choose your name and gender, a choice that can change your destiny from the very beginning. Quantum Suicide contains 6 courtable options (3 females, 3 males). With their own hopes, desires, personalities, and sexual preferences, you will have to move carefully to earn each character's affections. Each courtable character has at least three posed sprites, each with multiple facial expressions. In addition, all characters are partially voiced by professional Japanese voice actors. Boasting over 50+ hours of gameplay, you must navigate your way through over 30 different endings, including bad, good, and true endings for all courtable options. Each week, you are thrown into The Deletion Game where you must battle for your survival through a series of puzzles and strategy mini-games as you attempt to see the Everett's mission through to the end...alive. Quantum Suicide is a commercial game scheduled for sale on Steam late 2017. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cccn/quantum-suicide-a-visual-novel-in-space-kill-or-be http://www.mediafire.com/download/7x9xbsqzhjgsscs/QuantumSuicide-all.zip http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=556943619 STORY The year is now 2117. You are a second generation ship-born researcher studying inter-dimensional travel. Your choices change the fortunes of all aboard the Everett. Friendship and love lay waiting at your feet, but you should be wary. The road to the stars is full of hardship. A malprogrammed A.I. dedicated to preserving resources pulls you into a twisted, murderous game. When tensions are high, who knows what even the kindest crew member will do? How will you protect those you love? Will you betray friends to save yourself? Will you be slaughtered in cold, empty space? Will you slaughter? It's time to ask yourself: what would you do to survive? CHARACTER ART Quantum Suicide's lead artist is Ygor Lisboa aka Danzzila. We were drawn to him for his wonderful, expressive Japanese style and he is responsible for our character design, sprites, and CG art. Each main character has three poses, with three expressions per pose. Supporting characters currently only have one pose, with multiple expressions. BACKGROUND ART Ah, background art. You are hardly given the credit you deserve but as soon as you are lacking, it becomes apparent. The interior of the Everett was designed with a sparse, military practicality in mind, but we also wanted it to be atmospheric and vivid enough to be visually interesting for the player. To get the best art, you have to go to the best artist so we went to background extraordinaire, Owen Carson. The scenes capture the beauty of the ship, the wonder of space, and the eerieness of a closed circuit situation. With at least 20 variations for the background to date (with plans for a few extra for the few game), the Everett will come alive, even if you don't stay that way! GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE Our Game User Interface (GUI) is designed to be intuitive, and add to the overall science fiction tone of the game. Further screens such as CG Gallery, Music Player, Mini-Games, Archive Files, and Bonus Content are to be added as the game is created. The Quantum Suicide Logo and the GUI were designed by the talented Luna Chai Li. MUSIC What would intergenerational space travel be without a great soundtrack? Quiet. No one wants quiet. Quiet is scary, and cold, and sad. To ensure that your travels among the stars is not a quiet affair, we've had a soundtrack lovingly crafted by our talented musicians. We've been lucky enough to be given permission to use the song 変異個体-ГЕNЕ- by SEVERUS WAND for our atmospheric trailer currently in production but we also have a complete Original Soundtrack by Wojciech Wojnowski. ABOUT US Cotton Candy Cyanide (CCCN-) is made up of two people: Ashley Pearson (Nyx) and Tina Richards (MoltenCherry). We often go by our gamer tags. We created CCCN- to create games that we, ourselves, wanted to play. Both of us greatly enjoy games such as Dangan Ronpa, Virtue's Last Reward, and Persona; games that challenge us, make us fall in love with characters, and then break our hearts. Unfortunately, we found these sorts of titles scarce in the Western gaming market. While Steam has been exploding with visual novels recently, we wanted to create something a little darker than a slice of life, romantic novel. We've got 'Cyanide' in our name for a reason. WHY ARE WE POSTING ON FUWANOVEL There are a multitude of reasons that we are posting on the Fuwanovel Forums. Firstly, we are hoping that by posting here we might gain some support from people as passionate about Visual Novels as we are. As many of you know, creating a game isn't always rainbows and butterflies. We find it really comforting to know that we have a community behind us. Secondly, we've put a lot of money, and time, and love into Quantum Suicide. This is our first project and we are trying our very hardest to make Quantum Suicide the highest quality product possible. Now that we are approaching the end of our initial 'concept' phase, we are simply bursting at the seams with excitement to share our project with you! If you are interested, it would truly mean the world to us if you would back us on Kickstarter or upvote us on Steam Greenlight. And finally, if you would like to stay up to date with the progress of Quantum Suicide, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

OK, first I am going to avoid spoilers throughout this review, so I would like those who want to comment to avoid the same, even in spoiler boxes. This is one of those games that is going to be harder to enjoy if you spoil it for those who come after, so I will personally eat anyone who spoils it. This VN is by the same writer who did Sumaga (blech), Gekkou no Carnevale (yay), and Totono (a VN a lot of people here liked). However, the style of story is much closer to that of Gekkou no Carnevale than to Sumaga, thankfully. So, those of you who have heard me bitching about Sumaga need not worry that this is going to turn into a long rant on how horrible anything by this writer is. First, I am going to give you an idea of the basic setting. It is 2199 and the world has plunged into a new ice age (this is actually one of the hypothetical results of global warming irl, if the Greenland glacier slides into the ocean early enough). Up until a decade before the story, humanity was fighting over the warmest areas of the world, putting all their power into a war that was becoming increasingly meaningless. In that war, there were many scientific advances... but the two that are most relevant to the story are Necromancy and the zombie-killing techniques developed by the protagonists' fathers. Necromancy is undertaken by injecting a special type of nanomachines into the human brain after death, turning the individual in question into one of the Living Dead and the person who did the injecting into a Necromancer, capable of moving the undead results at will. The zombie-killing techniques central to the story are the use of one vs many weapon techniques (the basic one is two pistols with muzzle spikes, which the male protagonist uses, though the female protagonist's basic fighting style is based off of the same) in combination with the EX-Brain, an analytical computer that fits onto a person's head and allows them to notice things their subconscious recognizes but their conscious mind doesn't (details the conscious mind filters out), thus allowing the person in question to fight more effectively. Tokyo of the future is a dystopian hell, where refugees from all over the world have gathered, necromancers roam the streets with their armies of the living dead, and bounty hunters (like the protagonists) hunt them for their daily bread. The city itself is kept alive by geothermal heat spread throughout the city by water-filled 'hot pipes' passed through the hot spot underground and circulated throughout the city. Main Characters (protagonists, heroines, and main antagonist) Nagaoka Souun Souun is the son of a hero of the American-Chinese War, who was killed some years ago. On the surface he doesn't show much in the way of emotion, and his fighting style is one where he uses the dual-pistols in combination with his EX-Brain to fight in the most efficient way possible, obeying the suggestions of his own subconscious like a machine. Indeed, he himself isn't really sure he has emotion, and that is one of his major internal conflicts throughout the story as he deals with his personal issues. He is a badass, to put it bluntly... the kind of guy who can re-kill thirty zombies in under a minute without taking a single scratch. His body has been trained using both conventional methods and tailor-made nano-drugs to turn it into a weapon capable of perfectly obeying the EX-Brain's suggestions. Kibanohara Echika Echika is in just about every way Souun's opposite. She is a rebel, preferring to use a chainsaw and shotgun and frequently ignoring her EX-Brain's suggestions in favor of her own impulses. She believes emotions should be immediately be shown on the surface and indulged, and she is more than a little hedonistic by nature. She is also a straight-out lesbian who has no hesitation going after pretty girls. Her outright hatred for her father is the most obvious cause for her rebellious nature and her unwillingness to use her EX-Brain (the horns, as opposed to the full helmet Souun version Souun uses). Hougyou Iria Iria is the main heroine of the story and the focus for most of the events in it. She has extreme synesthesia (look it up), though she is quite functional despite that. Her initial setting, amnesia, is one of the most obvious tropes out there, but it isn't the focus of most of the story. In a world where people are rapidly losing their emotions, both positive and negative, she is a bright, cheerful young woman whose very presence makes people feel hopeful and light-hearted. She is also an otaku. Kijou Mitsumi Kijou Mitsumi is Souun's 'other' potential heroine. She is, like him, a hunter of the undead. However, she uses a katana and muscle-enhancing suit, along with her talent for mapping out the actions of enemies on the battlefield, rather than the style used by Souun and partially rejected by Echika. To be honest, this is one girl who has a singular talent for getting herself into trouble... and a lot of it is caused by her somewhat single-minded personality. She is very devoted to any cause or person she latches onto, but that also means she tends to become dependent on those she attaches herself to, which is the cause of her personal conflict. Aso Kiriri Echika's adoptive older sister. She is the most 'normal' person amongst the main characters, ironically, despite the fact that she is a high-ranking member of the Military Police under Echika's father. She is kind-hearted and constantly worries about the broken relationship between Echika and her father, as she loves them both. She also is very idealistic, believing that her duty as an officer of the law is the protection of Tokyo's people above all other things (an idealism almost unheard of in the somewhat tyrannical Military Police organization). Kon Su Kon Su... is probably the straight-out weirdest character in the VN. She is a hard M (with bold and italics for emphasis), and she has casual sexual relations with both protagonists. She is a professional hacker, information broker, undead analyzer (dissects and analyzes undead bodies and brains to discover the individual styles of necromancers... sort of like forensics), and she is also one of Souun's and Echika's supporters. Unfortunately, explaining her weirdness is not really possible without spoiling the VN, so I'm just going to drop it. Incidentally, her path isn't really a straight-out heroine path, for reasons that will be obvious to anyone who completes one of the paths. Milgram Milgram is the charismatic leader of the Researchers, an organization of Necromancers that believe the only hope for humanity is to escape from emotion through death (extinction). He isn't your standard nihilist, but the philosophy he espouses is. This guy... is the single most powerful Necromancer in existence, which means he is also an extremely emotional person (emotion and artistic sensitivity being requirements for creating the best undead). This guy is flat-out scary, eerie, and freaky. However, in many ways he is a representative of one of the major aspects of the world the characters are living in. The Story For better or worse, this story has a ton of guro and is basically an action-horror story. If you can't deal with heroine deaths, torture, zombification, and occasional rape, this definitely will be hard on you. A lot of effort goes into portraying the most gruesome parts of the story in a way that will be as horrifying as possible, and the heroines don't always escape this particular treatment, so it is best to prepare yourself before jumping in. The lighter points - mostly centered around Iria - actually only serve to enhance the sheer horror and bleakness of the setting, which is basically an extension and enhancement of what this writer did in Gekkou no Carnevale. By nature, any story as full of zombies like this one is going to be dark, and this one really does go to the extremes of the dark end at times. It is really hard to talk about this story without spoiling some of the primary elements (and because I figured out those elements too early due to certain hints, my own reactions were more ones of 'expected horror/sadness', so I'd prefer not to do that to you all). To be honest, emotionally connecting with this story was hard at some points, but as I got deeper into the characters - usually near the ends of the paths - it became a lot easier. In terms of action, this VN is full of it, but it is most emotional toward the end of the paths and in the true route. Kon Su's route serves a purpose different from the other routes, revealing elements of her past that are important to the story as a whole while showing the steel that lies beneath the stuttering, drooling do-M surface of that character. Whereas the other routes have some element of romance, Kon Su's lacks that, and I honestly thought that was for the best (I honestly couldn't imagine any ending where she was romantically involved with either of the protagonists, as opposed to just sexually involved). Ironically, if I were to say which of the routes (other than the true one) touched me in the most positive manner, it would be this one. I really suggest anyone avoid playing Iria's route until you've played all the other heroine routes. It feels a lot more natural if you go into the true route straight after finishing her route, as the true route is in many ways wrapped up the most intimately with hers. The other routes can probably be played in any order without a problem, but I do advise you take my suggestion above seriously. Visuals Normally, I don't talk about a VN's visuals that much, but because of the styles used here, it needs to be mentioned. First, I should mention the action-scene styles. The action-scenes are defined by a type of cell-shaded animation that is very similar to SMT: Digital Devil Saga on the PS2. Literally, the action scenes are animated and combined with highly-detailed battle descriptions to give a degree of depth that is pretty rare even in action VNs. I was doubtful at first, but this VN definitely benefited from using this particular technology (though it probably detonated a nuclear bomb under the budget). The regular visuals, as seen above, are more 'classic-style' Nitroplus, so if you've played a Nitroplus game made since Muramasa, you probably noticed that it is in the same general style. As a result, there is no real need for me to discuss them... except that the way the designers used them was pretty amazing. The dystopian feel of the pipe-wrapped city of Tokyo in 2199 is pretty eerie-feeling and definitely adds to the general atmosphere of the story. The tendency to dress most of the characters in dark or harsh colors (except Iria) was probably intentional, to further add to this atmosphere. This is one of the few times in the last year when I've actually felt that a company went above and beyond when designing every visual aspect of a VN. Audio Musically, this game isn't really unique. The BGMs all feel 'familiar', though they are used effectively to enhance the mood, so I give this VN high ratings for its BGM use, if not for the songs themselves. Nitroplus's use of music shows a tendency to prefer unobtrusiveness and 'enhancement' as opposed to the use of music to 'define' the mood seen in a lot of other VNs (Hapymaher being one of the most extreme examples of the latter). What really struck me is the wide variety of sound-effects, such as gunfire, cutting sounds, etc, and the use of those sound effects. To be honest, the sound of zombies being blown apart by bullets in this VN is going to linger in my ears for quite a while, as is the sound of Echika's 'Rabbit Punch' chainsaw. Overall Overall, this VN is pretty impressive. I can honestly recommend this... though not to just anyone. To be honest, the 'average' VN-reader who prefers moege-variants will probably not be able to stand the darkness of this game. If you don't have a reasonably high tolerance for guro and dark atmospheres, this is going to be a hard VN for you to enjoy. Zombie-lovers will probably flock to this VN by the thousands if it ever gets translated, because it really does draw in a lot of what people like about the 'zombie apocalypse' style movies and TV shows, while giving it a uniquely Japanese/otaku media flavor. However, this VN is emotionally draining, so I do recommend taking it in smaller doses than I did (every minute I wasn't working for the past four days). In my opinion, this VN can be considered a straight-out kamige, but it is also a VN that picks its readers... simply because it is so high-stress.

Project Cookies n' Cream We spent so much of our lives playing them, replaying them and trying to unlock every single CG. So much so that producing our very own Visual Novel has always been something we wanted to do for a long time now. The Team has always wanted to recreate the splendour; the excitement of uncovering new plots lines and artistic wonders for you, the Visual Novel community. We are looking to create a world that you can immerse yourself in, and we hope that you'll enjoy the process together with us. We are finally ready to start production on the title, codenamed "Project Cookies n' Cream", and we are glad to share with you the first glimpse, via a sketch, of one of the characters in the world. Do let us know what you feel by replying to this post, and do join us on our journey! Lizbeth, Assassin for Hire Meet Lizbeth, one of the protagonists in my video game. She is an 19 year old assassin for hire. Will Liz be able to escape the grasp of the underworld, or will she ascend above her oppressors? You decide her fate in my visual novel. Claire, Heiress A young girl, Claire is the daughter of a wealthy and influential family. Her doe-eyed innocent look hides the fact that she is genetically enhanced to be extremely intelligent. Does this come at a cost?

"WTF am I doing with my life?" "Dafuq did I just fap/masturbate to?" "Holy shit, that was my 5th session with that h-scene..." *cleans figurine/computer screen and talks to waifu* "This secret is between us, OK?" "Damn I need to buy more tissues." *breathes heavily* *schlick, schlick, schlick noises* Just some popular reactions from anonymous people I will not disclose of their experience with VNs and discovering a new fetish. While VNs provide us some quality reads, cute waifu moment intakes, and amazing masturbation sessions, it's fun to discover what makes us tick especially with the latter. It's crazy because VNs allows us to discover our TRUE inner self, something that we usually don't disclose or show even to our families or significant others, and sudden instinctual kicks just turn us into something completely abnormal. While I have a huge amount of fetishes at my arsenal, the fetishes below are VN exclusive, meaning, I never had these UNTIL I actually started playing VNs. Some are anime influenced but never truly developed until I read more into the VN medium. It's crazy because when people think of sex, they just think of genitals and copulation, but there's actually a lot more than that when it comes to the erotic/juicy/scandalous parts of most visual novels. Heck, sometimes these fetishes aren't even sexual in nature and just pure love and admiration towards the specific subject/object... Here's a preview of my ever expanding list and I'll post some more as the thread goes along: 1. Giant robots (vndb tag: Mecha Combat) - I wasn't into robots at all until I start watching almost all the Gundam animes and playing Muv Luv series, Baldr series, Demonbane, and the very latest ones I played, Schwarzesmarken and Ourai no Gahkthun. Also, I find sex/h-scenes while in the cockpit very erotic. It's almost like car sex but just a lot tighter and harder... 2. Knee socks/thigh highs Also known as zettai ryouiki (absolute territory). While we think of less clothing = sexier, this is a very strange phenomenon where more = sexier, because thigh high socks/stockings look better in general. Also, during h-scenes, there's just something about heroines keeping/still wearing their stockings making them look more alluring, especially if the stockings are striped pattern (light blue or pink color preferred). Here's a more detailed explanation in case you still don't know what the fuck I'm talking about : https://burogublog.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/the-art-and-science-of-zettai-ryouiki/ 3. Corruption of characters - There's just something about characters especially heroines becoming really bad, switching to the evil side, or becoming sexual deviants that really entices me. Venus Blood series is pretty awesome with this as well as Bible Black, Ikusa Otome, and Yami no Koe series, but it's also prevailing in a lot of popular titles of Eushully and Alice Soft as well as Soukou Akki Muramasa. Especially after the sex, when the heroines get these euphoric "dead eyes", maybe sometimes heart eyes with possible color change on their pupils and want to experience more. Kinda like this: 4. Pegging - Surprisingly, I'm not into anal (when it's Boy x Girl), but pegging seems to be one of my fetish. Just something attractive about reversal of roles and the woman strapping on that dildo to give the man some serious punishment. Well, I'm a girl, so don't question my tastes! 5. NTR - Last but not the least... DUH! Now that I think about it, I wasn't really into NTR until maybe like 5 years ago. Until I read a vanilla h-manga by REC by Erect Sawaru (not the image above). First off, Chapter 1, the vanilla part was very decent and it absolutely gave no hints that nothing could go wrong, until the chapter 2 of this series was released. After reading that, I had way more "sessions" with it than the vanilla chapter. I was like, "Why the hell am I masturbating to this? It's horrible! The girl is cheating on her boyfriend!" I still can't fully understand it up to this day. Then I read this VN: https://vndb.org/v5160 and the rest were history. Something about jealousy flips a switch on me and like my fetish #3, the corruption aspect which is usually tied to NTR pulls me into something that is hard to break out from. Next thing I know, I read almost all the Netorare Type A & B visual novels on vndb.

I realized that sometimes (or even very common) has secondary characters that are either better than the protagonist or are very interesting, and that motivated even more to complete the visual novel, I will cite one example. I still know little visual novel, I probably read less than 90% of the people here, as I more play other types of games, but I thought interesting to discuss about it.

I am okay with a heroine trashing my fictional porn stash, but only if she replaces the lost goods with pictures and videos of herself. -"Stop plugging the Majikoi Anime, you dice rolling fuck!"

Thanks for the moe Here's a return present:

Older woman with younger male. I didn't think i was into it until Amorous Professor Cherry, where thats all it is. just something about a older woman whos supposed to be wiser, in charge, and collective at all times succumbing to her lust for a younger male. ITS HOT! also, traps. Don't judge MEEEEEEEEEEEEE (Runs away)

i was literally just typing that i can't really determine the boundary between plot and no plot you could try it yourself, it's not that long

i want vns, but most vns are eroge, so... i have to explain to her porn is just a tiny fraction of eroge and they are just like animu besides that. also, lb is a good one, but id prefer something more common cuz then she might have the wrong impression about eroge, that most of them are nakige... but if i dont get anything else decent, then ill go with lb.

I wasn't really going for the quality argument here. Not that way at least. There's no way to know beforehand whether something is good or not beyond more or less useful clues with importance that'll depend on individuals. Synopses are terrible, I don't think I've ever watched/read something because I read its synopsis. I barely ever read them anyway. I don't think it's a very useful indicator. Genre (or tags) is a useful way of finding more things you might like, but it's still a very broad indicator. I know I'm more likely to enjoy denpa or SF than romantic drama but if you ask me whether Shizuku or White Album 2 should be translated I'll go with the second one. In the end popularity is left as a pretty useful criteria for deciding what you want. If everyone says x is good I'll be tempted to check it out to see what it's all about. It's hard to trust blind incoherent masses like a vndb top but even if I restrict the criteria to a subset of people whose taste I sort of know and trusts, I'm still using the popularity criteria. If I'm swayed away from voting for Senshinkan because lots of people said Parfait was really cool, am I really a puppet? (Btw I don't really believe we have much free will but that's another question) No, I just reconsidered thing, because if all those people I know say it's cool, than eh, I might want to try it out. Reviews are of course another good way of finding stuff, but they're pretty scarce when it comes to untl'd VNs. Masada consistently enough makes 5 digits sales (with Dies going over 50k). In this industry, in japan, he's without a shred of doubt a (very) popular writer. I don't think comparing "story eroge" sales with games that go beyond the pure eroge crowd like nukige or CM3D2 is fair since none of the latter are in this contest.

So this time I'm going to review this awesome novel, some users even consider it the best vn out there by far, a true kamige through and through .... ...sadly this is not that Dies Irae neither is Masada involved in this title in any way This DIES IRAE (all in caps, because why not?) is the work of a company called Family Soft. They mostly made games for PC-98, 88 and MSX on the 90', later on they released some for the ps1. This visual novel is your typical interactive adventure game, that hybrid between a visual novel and adventure game, just like Snatcher, YU-NO or Desire, among others. You can choose between 2 heroines from the get go and their stories, while not the same, they are in fact related and they go in parallel through out the whole game even interacting and working together at some points. (the main characters of the novel) The protagonists are Kimu/Kinbari (Kim/Kimberley) and his side partner Rii (Lee) and Kurisu (Kris) i'm not very good with translating katakana names so forgive me if they are wrong , both of them are professional detectives and they have very opposite personalities. Kimu on one hand is very cheerful and lively all the time, joking around with every single character (even with her boss), specially with his partner Rii and the receptionist Maria of the police station that she works for. On the other hand we have Kurisu, she is very serious and doesn't joke at all, very quiet too, sadly the game doesn't develop the characters practically in any way, we are just tossed into the game and in the next second we are already investigating some murder case or killing a guy, yes if you play with Kurisu you literally kill a guy 10 seconds after starting the novel xD but like I said there is no backstory whatsoever, later on we do find a bit of pieces of the relation that Kimu and his side partner and best friend Rii have but just a little.. the novel only focus on resolving the murders and nothing else. Plot In terms of plot, there isn't much to talk about, is just a regular murder investigation that ends up being a much bigger issue, revolving gang members, the mafia and later on some sci-fi elements, to be honest it wasn't anything I haven't seen so far in this types of vns or this genre in general, although it does throws you some plot twist that you wont see them coming which will leave you a bit shocked, but overall nothing really stands out. Graphics In the graphic part, you have a pretty decent art style and sometimes with some really good "drawings" and CGs, It has some pretty gruesome scenes, sadly (or lucky for you depending on your tastes) there is no eroge. The characters are portrayed inside a side box and will change depending on what the characters are saying or felling just like your typical vn, they use this instead of the whole body characters sprites, although there are a few "whole body sprites" in the game too. As the sucker I am for old school pixel art style I just love it. (the character portrait in the left side and some random violent scene at the right) Sound There isn't much to talk about here, the music is really nothing special, not bad but you won't remember the tracks after playing the novel, nothing to highlight, so yeah it does it jobs and that's what matter I guess. Gameplay Now the most important part... the gameplay, this is the biggest flaw of the visual novel. The gameplay is divided in two parts, the fighting and the way you progress in the novel using four types of commands, those are Move, Talk, Look and finally Act. Move: will make you move through out the level, which is often divided into big section, for example the police station, the city, the slums etc. Talk: will make you talk to yourself, other characters in the place you are or your partner if she is with you at that time. Look: is pretty much explanatory, you will look into the scenery and search for clues. Lastly you have Act, which will give you the option to interact with the scenery or things that are inside the scene itself, sometimes to progress by interacting with the scene and others is just for fun like harassing your partner or Maria if you are playing with Kimu. (all the location you can move in the "city" map) Now to progress you need to do every single option, exhaust all the dialogs, check every single little thing etc etc. This is a big problem because most of the time you need to do them in certain order and if you don't you won't progress. For example in one part you will have to check the same fence several times but in some specific order and then talk to a character just to gain a new action to progress, this is just a pain in the ass and holds back the story and the game. There is also an specific part of the game where you find yourself trapped in a maze inside a mine, it took me literally 1 hour to beat that part because of the combat and this is the other huge problem of the game ... the combat...it is terrible in any way you can think of, some parts or certain events have fighting scenes which are mandatory and they are hard as hell... (The mines, you will be here for a while...trust me) The fighting is turn based, but is so random and so fast that without using save states is pretty much impossible to beat, even using save states and lowering the speed of the fights(I used an emulator and cheat engine) I had so many troubles beating some fights, one fight took me 30 minutes. You have your a health bar, four commands (forward, backward, offense and defense) and some kind of stamina bar to use which is constantly moving at light speed and doesn't follow any kind of rule. The game compares how much stamina you have against your opponent and depending on that you will hit, get hit or do nothing. Now you think, offense will do some kind of attack and defense will well defense yourself but nope, sometimes defense attacks and offense does nothing and everything drains your stamina, losing your stamina means that you will get hit in that turn and probably the next 4 turns too. The enemy have almost unlimited stamina while you do 2 hits in a raw and you are done for. The only good thing about the combat is that from time to time you can do an special attack which triggers a short full animation showing your character using a gun or doing some kind of fighting pose, nothing fancy but is nice to see. (The combat) Verdict Overall I enjoyed this novel because it was dark and it wasn't afraid to do and show you what most of novels this days are and Kimu was a funny character to play with. The gameplay system is what made this novel really flawed but even with those drawbacks and flaws I still enjoyed although I can understand if someone doesn't want to play it or drop it after a few hours in because of that. Difficulty to read: In terms of how difficult it was to read, it wasn't the hardest novel I read but it wasn't 120 yen stories or sanarara either, it's full of katakana terms and names (you will read more than 20-30 names in katakana I'm not joking..) Kimu is overall fairly easy to read, because she is a bit juvenile so her speech and thoughts are fairly easy to understand while Kurisu is more depressing and mature so her thoughts and dialogues are a bit more difficult, also later on the game gets a bit hard when the sci-fi elements kick in, by no means an impossible novel to read or understand.

Forgive me for not noticing this sooner~! Thank you very much! QUACK!

Easy way to earn you a slap. Did you forget about the current wave of feminism?

Yume miru Kusuri comes close to this not because of the story, but most probably because of the drama. It's enjoyable, sometimes sad, and believe, you don't want to hit a bad end. Try it when you have time.

My only salt with Kira Kira is it's a NVL type VN. I hate reading text covering the entire screen/characters.... That shit is too damn old school and modern day VNs need to stop doing that. Other than that, it's a really good VN and the bad ends are really bad ends and make you feel bad for the heroines.

This week I'm going to finish sayonara wo oshiete no matter what!, also I think this phrase can describe this whole vn 窓から差し込むオレンジ色の光は彼女の顔を橙色に染め上げている。 that orange almost make my eyes hurt D:

I do, but I actually understand what they are saying (mostly). Find it much more immersive, as the voice-acting holds a lot of emotional nuances that text cannot always convey.

No lie, Meiya's ending from Muv Luv Extra is one of the most unintentionally funniest things i've read in a while.

The reason to learn Japanese is to play the games you want to play, rather than the games Japanese companies and fan translators feel like giving you. The business practices of individual English publishers are besides the point. Even if they suddenly had access to any title they wanted, their total throughput is too low, and they ignore entire genres (e.g., loli, NTR). There's simply way too many titles to translate and too few resources to do so. I prefer to choose the games I want to play rather than let others choose for me. That's the reason I learned Japanese.

its not that sad but it manages to give me feels

How to distinguish the different types of vn readers: Newfag: is waiting for voices / uses auto mode Veteran: neither slow voices nor flashy animations will stop his clicking rhythm Elitist: uses the ctrl key to move the text forward

so selling my game on steam. Gonna be all proud and everything then post it here saying "steam is the best."

Chiaki from Noble Works definitely and it's such a huge disappointment that she didn't get a route. She executed her role as a side character with utter finesse and it would have been better if she actually got romantically involved with the protagonist. Same for another character in Noble Works, Makoto. Although she gives off the lesbian vibes, it would have been interesting if she did get a route also. As for Princess Evangile, all the girls that didnt get a route in the original will get a route in W Happiness anyway.... so it's just a matter of waiting at this point now that Mangagamer announced the game will come out this year and constantly being translated. I believe it's close to 20% translated at the moment. And Princess Evangile W Happiness imo is MUCH MUCH BETTER than the main game, a very rare occurrence of the fandisc performing better than the original game.

For me, generally speaking, the Main/Poster heroine is almost always the least interesting character so a lot of VN common routes suck for me because that's always the character they push the hardest. It seems the character archetypes I like (indifferent/emotionless cooderes, perverted/assertive derederes, mayadere in general, twins, classic tsunderes, ect.) are generally relegated to side character status so I guess I don't have popular taste or something. BB2 aside (which I just started playing), the 2 most recent games I finished playing are pretty bad about this for me, 1 is especially bad. First, Noble Works. NW wasn't especially bad since Akari was the only main heroine I was completely indifferent about but Makoto and Chiaki were significantly more interesting to me than the other available heroines and I was legitimately annoyed that the the secret route wasn't one of them (let alone, one of the main routes). Then there's Princess Evangile... I have never been more annoyed about available routes in a VN than when playing PE. Nearly the entire side cast is better than the main heroines and the fact that the best one (imo), Ruriko is treated like a main heroine during the common route but can't actually be picked for anything is incredibly frustrating. The entire time I was playing that game I couldn't stop thinking about how there were better version of each of the 4 main heroines in the side cast (Ruriko vs. Rise, Mitsuki vs. Chiho, Tamie vs. Ayaka, Konomi vs. Ritsuko). Even a Sister Mishima route would have been amazing. Not even W Happiness can save that game for me, the damage has been done (to be fair, I did end up liking Ritsuko though she gets less screen time than either Ruriko or Konomi during the common route). I've also been making my way through the routes of School Days and Shiny Days and I'll just say that I wish Hikari and the Twins (Futaba & Kazuha) had more fleshed out routes, since their "routes" are just short scenes slapped onto the end of someone else's route. That said, with the style that those games are, I get why they focus primarily on one or two characters. I do appreciate the love that Kokoro and the MILFs get in Shiny Days though.

Yeah, not having a route for Chiaki is Noble Works biggest sin so far. She's even an otaku with hidden eroge depositories...

I have a lot of Secondary Characters i love but out of what i've played recently, i'd go with her Chiaki is just great, scary yet surprisingly bashful and secretive..really kind at times too....wish she had a route

Maybe it's an issue of efficiency and time management? Like why waste time browsing for hentai on the internet when you can masturbate to VNs instead? I think he's just getting rid of 2 birds with 1 stone.

yo welcome Frank and quack

Why not? It's the perfect game for 12 year old French girls.

Deus Machina Demonbane Licensed by JAST USA Voice Patch (Imports PS2 Voices to the PC Version) VNDB Summary Arkham city is a bustling hub of commerce and industry, however it's also a center of eldrich lore: home to Miskatonic University, an institution of higher learning with one of the most complete libraries of arcane literature in the world. In the span of two generations the town was built up to the status of prestige it now has, an expansion helmed by the Hadou Group, an industrial complex and family dynasty currently run by the young Hadou Ruri. She pursues the peace and prosperity of Arkham diligently, against the forces of darkness threatening to plunge the city, and the world, back into a second dark age. Among the most sinister threats to Arkham City is the evil Black Lodge syndicate, led by the charismatic Master Therion. His nihilistic outlook shapes the group's destructive goals: with a circle of powerful sorcerers at his command, the potential for sowing chaos in the city is unmatched. Former Miskatonic University Magic Academy student Daijuuji Kurou knows little of grimoires, but what he does know terrifies him - enough that he left his university life behind, and now practices a failing detective business in the shelter of an orphanage in a quiet corner of Arkham. But just when he thought his Academy past was buried, it catches up with him and pulls him back into the dark shadows of the occult: Hadou Ruri herself appears at his door with an offer he can't refuse. The only way to combat the Black Lodge's growing magical power is to find, and retrieve, a grimoire with the power to activate the mightiest Machina of all: Demonbane. The quest to find this forbidden tome will change Kurou's destiny... forever. Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order There are three main heroines, two of which have bad endings (they will be noted in their respective heroine guides). There is no restricted order of completion, so you may start with any heroine that you wish. The personal suggested route order for me would be Al Azif - > Hadou Ruri - > Leica.
