But Steam is Western-based and abides by Western law. Besides, probably the most restrictive outlook would apply, very much like Nintendo censors everything outside Japan. Sex in Western games like Mass Effect, Dragon age and Witcher is pretty tame. Eroge and nukige can go much further.

Hey, don't bring over your Asian debauchery to a clean place like Steam.

Hmmm, I think it's not gonna happen. Steam can't really afford to be flooded with adult games. It has its share of violent games, but everyone knows sex is regarded worse than violence in the West. The previous outrages should give you plenty of material to think how Steam regards explicit games.

You'll like an animu called, "The secret of blue water" (America) or "Nadia of the mysterious seas" (adapted from Japanese). Early 90s.

The only VNs I would be willing to revisit would be: - Katawa Shoujo: tried to reread my fav routes, but gave up. - Little Busters: I'd reread it whole, Steam version with bonus routes so not everything is already seen. - Period: there is a couple routes I'd like to review. And, of course, Steins;Gate and S;G 0. I've played those 2 times each, last year and this year. I'm kinda wanting to play them again next year. Add to that a complete Let's Play of base S;G, that was when I first heard of it.

That's just

Playing Chaos;Head...

Yukizakura- A teacher who likes to drink. Crescendo- A nurse heroine no less, and great at that. Period- Another nurse! But this time around, the route feels like a bonus, it's probably the shortest in the game.

A shame, I played the whole game but I discarded my saves. In the future I should keep them. Note: I read Chisato's

Well, I suppose Hotaru getting a route and getting could have been interesting. Sigh.

VNs can't be your only hobby, if your main hobby at all. You need other things. On the other hand, Deardrops is aimed at people who want to read about bandsmen, sleazy life, rock'n'roll and the musical industry, otherwise it's a pretty bad choice to read.

Is this game worth playing or is it another of Akabei Soft's shitfests (Sharin no Kuni, A Profile). Both Sharin and Maou are highly regarded at VNDB, but I'm not entirely convinced.

Depends on what you actually wanna try... ef has one story which has a very dark bad ending, but it's not really a horror game at all. It has "utsuge vibes", but could be classified as nakige, maybe. Sweetest Monster is a game pretty much designed to be played on Halloween, maybe on a rainy, gloomy winter. I don't know about Lynne. Note that Sweetest Monster even includes a sex scene that somehow passed the Steam censorship. Not much is shown and no VA but the writing tries to be up to the task. Sweetest Monster is one of those works that relies heavily on a gimmick, so once you learn the truth of the story you probably won't play it again. But it's nice. Euphoria is centered about rape, specifically rape by proxy, the story underneath can go either way and some of the sex is gross, as in dirty.

Sad scientist is also good, if only for the contrast, aside from the depiction of depression and mental disorder (which isn't toyed with very much I think). The point that made the original superior is probably immersion. That game has a wonderful immersion, you start playing and don't wanna leave it. It builds tension in a unique way.

Actually S;G has the benefit of, no one really knows how altering the past would work, so anything goes. From what I've gathered, it's just a vision about time travel (or more specifically, "time warping" if we take the Denwa Renji into account), it doesn't aim to be fully realistic but to tell an engaging story, and it succeeds at that. Still every rule of their time travel is according to current physics.

I'm currently playing Chaos;Head's VN, I'm like in Chapter 3. So far so good. Still you have to bear in mind it's a pretty old VN and almost nobody hits the jackpot on their first try, this should be the case of Chaos;Head within the Sci fi Adv series. I enjoyed Steins;Gate immensely more due to the way the story is built, the characters, the powerful Kyouma, the atmosphere, S;G is as good as you can get. Chaos;Head is a different beast and that should be taken into consideration. By the way, I rate 0 below original S;G. My hopes lie with Chaos;Child instead.

HURRAH!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo they're leaving us to rot without our pron games!!! Such injustice!!! Don't panic! Okay, panic.

- Never 7, Ever 17, Remember 11 - 999, Virtue's Last Reward (both compiled as "The nonary games" on Steam), Zero Time Dilemma - Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0 - Chaos;Head, Chaos;Child - Root Double - before crime, after days

About what Clephas says... I guess that consoles are more diversely oriented (not strange to catch a girl playing with some console), plus they should be 15+ at most. Otome fit well with that. Whereas PC is seen as a master ra... as a more "monocled" platform for lack of a better term. Most often your PC is used only by you. Traditionally it has been harder to use and mantain than a console, so leading to more monocled users. That kinda leads to PCs being used by a majority of male gamers, potentially "nolifers" (i. e. they spend most of their time on their computers), which fits well with the traditional male-oriented eroge.

Lesbians* in Japan is a pipe dream. (*): Maybe not accurate term, dunno.

I'd way prefer the CG if it was about the girl kissing the MC through a train window. Hard to pull your body through some train windows, but it would be sooooo romantic. E. g. the girl has to go far away and it's a farewell kiss. Why do VN writers tell the same stories over and over and over again, it's a mystery to me. They have 0 imagination, I wonder if they read stories themselves.

You can add Dal Segno there too, for a deluge of shit good measure.

If Kanon still echoes in the VN world, Rance too, I guess.

Just that.
