I don't really look at the length of the visual novels in vndb, but it takes me approximately the time suggested to finish some games, or sometimes I finish it with more time. All depends of the visual novel I've choose.
True, when I was in Japan I've been here, and for an otaku/gamer, it's an Eldorado. I really want to return in this place!
La prochaine personne parle français.
Mine is Earthbound, because the story was really captivating, and even though it's essentially for kids, can be very mature and dark. Plus I love rpg games.
Goddamit, those exams took all my time! >< Too bad for me, but good luck for the rest of the participants! ^^
Edit: Oups, it seems that in fact I'm still participating. Hurray!
