I hope we fixed the issue for you, @Zalor

Hero or villain?

Enjoy.

I've been pondering for a while now that I should stop lurking and make an account, I'm kinda shy, and very socially awkward even on the web. Anyway, I love playing otome VNs mostly but I also love horror and the psychological. I would love to hear some recommendations. it's a pleasure to meet you all ~

Because moe

Don't know what others think, but VA-11 HALL-A is enough of a visual novel for me. And it's pretty damn good. The characters are quirky and interesting and so is the dystopian setting. The random conversations in the bar are really engaging, flowing really naturally between silly and serious topics, much like random conversations normally tend to do. It also looks really dope, the soundtrack is a blast and the game just oozes character. Can't think of a better way to spend a nice summer evening. Time to mix up some more drinks, turn on the scan-lines, up the volume a notch and get back waifu bartending!

Just finished Majikoi A-1 and now I'm playing Grisaia no Yuukan..afterwards I'm gonna finish the before route from Root Double then finish The House In Fata Morgana. Made it my mission to finish up all the stuff I've started.

It's named Satsuriku no Tenshi or Angel of Slaughter and it has a manga:http://myanimelist.net/manga/96525/Satsuriku_no_Tenshi Apparently it also has a video game which it originated from, made in RPG Maker

Well, Higurashi does nail the psychological aspect of horror much better and I think that Corpse Party is more gory, but overall my bias for Corpse Party is still way stronger. Depends what kind of horror you're looking for.

Hey, welcome to the forum, nice to meet you! The house in Fata Morgana is a fairly newly translated title with horror / psychological aspects. The game is apperantly pretty good, (there is a review about the game written by Solidbatman here if you are interested.) http://reviews.fuwanovel.net/2016/06/18/the-house-in-fata-morgana/ I don't know anything about otome games, so I'll leave that to someone else

Finally finished euphoria. I have to say it's been a good read, and while the ending's good I can't help but feel a little less than satisfied. I'd say it's a combination of wanting to see Keisuke do a little more after what was explained in the epilogue and the last scene feels a little on the short side. One thing though...

The purpose of that board is to contain the thread explaining what the purpose of that board is.

Did you try clicking the link? I hear sometimes when you do that, magical things happen. Like if you chant @Flutterz name into a mirror three times, he pops out and gives you a Twizzler.

Thoughts? Rah is next on the chopping block with a new darker vision to match his personality.

So this isn't probably even news, but I've just noticed it now and don't remember seeing it discussed before. It was brought to my attention minutes earlier that Higurashi Sui, the collection of the 19 arcs spread across the PC, PS2 and DS releases of previous Higurashi titles, is going for a strangely high price on play-asia - that is, the VN now costs 100$. That in itself wouldn't be so strange, play-asia was never famous for being the cheapest import shop out there. I didn't remember the exact price at launch - I think it was something between 7 to 8 thousand yen, the regular game price - so I went to check the Playstation Store, which is where I've gotten my copy... but this is where things started to get weird. Looking for Higurashi gave no results. Assuming the search system was just being trash, I clicked my way to the game through my download list - only to be greeted by an empty page. Even the entries in the download list are missing proper icons. I even tried looking for the Umineko releases, which used to be listed on PSN as well - but just like Higurashi, they are also gone, without a trace. I have no idea what is going on. I can only assume that this has something to do with both Kaga Create and Alchemist going under some time back - but would that really make them flat out remove all their products? One thing is for certain - if you still want to get the console releases of the 'When They Cry' series,, you might want to do so as soon as possible.... before the price grows even more. TL;DR - Higurashi and Umineko deleted from PSN, meaning it is no longer possible to get a hold of a digital copy. Physical copies limited and going up in price.

You guys remember this? Man, it was freaking badass

Well hey, my mistake for thinking people here cared about VNs, I guess. If there was ever any chance of these releases ever making it to the west - or even MG just acquiring the rights to the Alchemist/Kaga assets - there sure as hell is none now.

GochiUsa is love

Especially since there's no context whatsoever. The cockroach dashes in, saying "Joe". But goes for the finisher with "George", but gets caught and disposed of. GOODBYE, MISTER COCKROACH.

Now that is a setup, which could be used for something quite interesting. The setup isn't everything, but it's a good start. Have you considered the more technical aspects as well, like number of choices and how much it should branch? And what about engine? Have you considered heavy use or flags to remember choices for later usage or should each choice lead to a unique branch? I know it's a lot of questions, but I assume it would be nice to know the answers to all of those questions before actual writing starts. I have seen a number of people go "I will write a VN" and then later "now I have written half the prologue and filled in the entire plot. What do I do?". Well they didn't plan a structure. That could be an issue. Writing an entire VN requires way more typing than just a forum post.

I haven't really developed on it yet but its about a world were human dna was rewritten by a mass of cosmic radiation and various factions developed possesing different abilities. the protag is from a faction that can "emulate" any other factions abilities so his faction is most sought after. they were all slaughtered by the non-power faction and his childhood friend aria was taken away. the sory continues 5 years later when he has blended in to the non-power faction's state to get revenge. this just a rough summary. typing all the details will give me blisters.

So guys what are your top ten bgm lists for vns? mine is; 10- 9- 8- 7- 6- 5- 4- 3- 2- 1- so what do you guys think? what are your top ten lists?

So what is the purpose of this board?

I... I am tight!? But, yeah, who can blame us for forgetting that once in a blue moon anime studios can make characters that feel almost human

Only the best feels from me, buddy.

And with that Sayaka's route is finally finished, Overall I really enjoyed my time with A-1. My favorite route was Azumi's but Benkei's and Sayaka's are great as well, I'll recommend it for any Majikoi Fan.

I'm not sure if all-caps is the way to go. THERE'S A REASON THAT WE DON'T TYPE LIKE THIS WHEN COMMUNICATING IN WRITING. IT'S HARDER TO PARSE SENTENCES. Also, I find the text displayed here very difficult to digest. The information isn't presented in a logical fashion, with one idea cleanly leading into the next, and the sentences don't flow smoothly.

Saya is not a horror story. Saya is a love story. But for otome and Corpse party lover it could be perfect match.

You make a good point. I'll sleep over this tonight and consider if I change my views on damp towels.

Anime isn't the only style acceptable for a VN, specially if the content fits the style.

I lurked for quite awhile and recently joined 2, Its ok being shy and socially awkward, its an endearing quality among anime, manga, Vn lovers I recommend G-senjou no maou, its a thriller, mystery and psychological Vn, Its riveting stuff. Oh checkout Gahktun of the Golden Lighting too. I got a soft spot of Neon, the main chara and its a great read. Btw, where's your profile picture from? I google searched it but its in japanese and i dont think google translates version sounds right? Thanks and good luck Vn hunting!

thanks to tyrosin (ill-willed) recommendation movie-wise i´m now mentally unable to proceed reading kagerou , so i switched over to fictional hero gin gaia instead. took me alittle for warming up to it, but now i´m having a blast.

Welcome to the forums fellow Fuwan. Hope you can have a good stay, there are a lot of us around here that struggle with being socially awkward in general, not to mention things like social anxiety and the like. All in all I hope it will be a comfortable for you. In terms of recommendations, I'll second @Deep Blue's one of Saya no Uta, while it's not an otomege it certainly is one of the most fascinating horror stories currently in English.

For otome games I recommend Ozmafia, Sweet Fuse and Storm Lover Kai For Sweet Fuse and Storm Lover Kai, so can you download PSP emulator, which you don't have PSP or PS Vita. Sweet Fuse can you play on PS Vita but for to play Storm Lover Kai must you download PSP emulator

Shy and socially awkward? Next you are going to say that you love anime, manga and VNs... welcome to Fuwa where everyone is like that (or most of us are ) so don't worry about it My recommendation is saya no uta Enjoy your stay

welcome to Fuwa Heart and It's Nice to meet you I recommend Remember 11 since it have little bit of Horror and psychological. I recommend Corpse Party as well.

Welcome Heart I actually was the same as you, and some of that akwardness still shows like with my lack of skills to start any sort of cenversations, but it gets easier over time I recommend Corpse Party and Higurashi, but those are the common, default ones that everyone recommends, so in addition Saya no Uta has some horror-esque elements along with Kara no Shoujo but to calssify them as horror-VNs is up to the player itself. One other one with good horror elemnts is Chaos;Head. Hope to see ya around

Hold me, Derg! May we bath in our tears, pure in the eyes of the almighty Majikoi! May we all be united under its glory!

You're going in places, leave before you lose your humanity

More tears incoming, why do you people do this to me

https://vndb.org/v12490 You need to read this then, I made a review after I played it here, not for everyone though

A few weeks ago I was in Taiwan for a class of mine, and in Taipei (not far from National Taiwan University for those of you who are familiar with Taipei's geography), there is this great otaku store that sells a bunch of doujinshi. And a lot of it is stuff from the late 90's to mid 2000ths, which is an era of otaku related media that I have a huge soft spot for. In any case, I manged to find three doujins made by the artist of Symphonic Rain (one of my favorite VNs). So of course I bought all three. Here are some pics:

What? I like these pictures.

Today, i went to a local(ish) anime con with a friend, and i picked up a hardcopy of saya no uta, the first 2 volumes of yotsuba&! and some imported snacks. overall, a good day! Edit: By the way, that hardcopy was 50 fucking euros, even though it only costs 25 on jlist grumble grumble I was surprised by how little I was embarassed buying it though, even though it was basically the only stand with any porn, and had a big sign saying 'Interactive hentai games!' and was also surrounded by Naruto fanboys pointing and laughing at the softhouse seal-boobies. I bet they secretly wished they could muster the courage

-chan?

Well, this is the Fuwanovel mascot. It's kind of our theme. You should just make the mascot one big shitpost.
