IcryEvrytime Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Hello I just finish to read G-senjou no Mau and Wonderful Everyday down the rabbit hole. Can you please help me with some similar titles? I can't get enough Quote

The Steam version (called Down the rabbit hole) contains only the first chapter of the whole game. Also, can you specify what exactly you liked about these two VNs? They aren't very similar to each other. Quote
VirginSmasher Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 If you want mind-bending mysteries, dark material, and plot twists galore, read Ever17, Myth, Root Double, the Kara no Shoujo series, Sorcery Jokers, and Remember11. Edit: If you've only read Down the Rabbit Hole, PLEASE read the rest. You're missing out on the best parts of the VN if you don't. Quote
Inorin Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 If you've only read Down the Rabbit Hole I (which I think is probably the case), then you've only completed 1/6 of the game, which means you should install the patch to get the remaining 5/6. For G-senjou no Maou, the only other vn that's closest to it in terms of intensity (but not plot) is probably Sharin no Kuni. For Subahibi, I can't really comment since I have not completed it. Quote
littleshogun Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 As Subahibi, unlike other Steam release using 18+ patch is very mandatory because the majority of the VN was in the 18+ patch. For the recommendation, both of Higurashi and Umineko sounds good. Other than that, maybe I can suggest you to try both of Enigma and Seabed. I hope my recommendations here will be helpful to you.

PiggiesGoMoo Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) I you do play Higurashi, definitely do not google anything about it. Especially not google image searches. I've never seen a VN that has spoilers so prevalent all over the place.  It's the anime's fault  The other thing about Higurashi is that only 5 of the 8 chapters are actually translated. Personally, if I had known this at the time, I wouldn't have read the first 5 when I did. I ended up reading spoilers because I didn't want to wait for 6-8, and didn't want to watch the anime.

Don't even try to type a characters' name, google will probably suggest "character A death/execution". The main culprit was spoiled for me with fanarts alone, when I barely knew what the game was about...  I didn't even went looking for it and it found the way to me... I'm playing 2 right now and as much as I tried to avoid spoilers like the plague, I ended up seeing like 4 spoilers, dammit. None as big as the one for 1 tho. Maybe because 2 doesn't have an anime.

Plus Fate, I guess, considering how popular it is, though for it the spoilers aren't that important, it works even if you spoil everything. 24 minutes ago, PiggiesGoMoo said: The other thing about Higurashi is that only 5 of the 8 chapters are actually translated. Well, technically there is an old Mangagamer translation, the one I read (which happened before the current translation was announced, from what I know). Though I definitely wouldn't recommend reading it now, considering that a much better translation is currently in the works. PiggiesGoMoo 1 Quote

They aren't very similar to each other. Yhea man and played all the routes as well! (including end sky2) . Oh ok sorry is the first time I post on a forum  and I didn't reall knew what to write down eheh So for DTRH I liked all the introspective trip of the characters, the style of writing, all the philosophic journey till the very end(s). On the other side for The devil on G string (first vn ever read) the firt thing that got me good has to be the soundtrak..so good!!All the deepening about the classic music and the different girls on various routes sourprised me as I didn't knew how multiple choices VN worked. At the end, to be onest, if you want to know what i really liked about those two vn is how they make you fall in love with something on one route and then go in a total different direction with another one and not just for the sotry...  Sorry for the broken english Thank you all Alessandro  On 10.4.2018 at 2:53 AM, VirginSmasher said: If you want mind-bending mysteries, dark material, and plot twists galore, read Ever17, Myth, Root Double, the Kara no Shoujo series, Sorcery Jokers, and Remember11.

Oh my bad. It's because you said "Wonderful Everyday down the rabbit hole" in your original post instead of "Wonderful Everyday" , so I just assumed you didn't patch it (since Down the Rabbit Hole is the first arc). Quote

Sparteh Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Assuming you want more serious type of mystery: Umineko series - a must read. Personally I consider this to be the best VN series ever. Story is very well written, characters developed. Furthermore, its soundtrack is amazing. Just make sure to read it in the right order. Also, the entire story is very long. From what I heard it took at least 90-100 hours to complete it for most readers. Kara no Shoujo series - this is another great detective story, but I have to warn you. If you have weak stomach and cannot handle horror elements (dead bodies at least), you might want to avoid it. Sharin no Kuni - probably the closest thing that I can recommend as something similar to G-Senjou, though not really a mystery VN. Not in terms of plot, but rather feeling it gives. Though, G-Senjou was vastly superior to me.  Edited April 13, 2018 by Sparteh Homufate 1 Quote
