Ranzo Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Planetarian, you can teach them how to cry Creature Romances, you can teach them fear Other than that I dunno, Go! Go! Nippon!??? I don't know how educational that is supposed to be. Quote

It's actually a very decent tourist guide to Tokyo + a few other touristy areas in Japan, but the ecchi elements make it quite a questionable choice for educational material. Plus it's rather long, I think it has 10+ hours of content in the latest version. ------ And I find it rather amusing that SonoHana: Yuririn is one of the top games in that educational tag Palas mentioned. A yuri game that teaches girls about diet? That sounds wrong on so many levels... Edited June 5, 2018 by Plk_Lesiak Quote

After all, it was made for weebs by a Japanese company, how could it not have fanservice? EDIT: It's mild BTW and literally just a few CGs in the whole thing, but still, not something you want to show to kids in a Western school. :> Edited June 5, 2018 by Plk_Lesiak Quote

(Though, in reality, we know that's not how it works. 3D nudity and sex is okay, but a single CG with some slight 2D nudity is filthy and disgusting.) Quote

Oh, yeah, I didn't mean I would be worried about kids seeing it, I would be worried about the teacher being (literally?) torn apart by overprotective parents and prudish school administration. Quote

Funyarinpa Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 I know of no VN that actually teaches real world information through a VN medium. Closest thing I know is Go! Go! Nippon, which tells you enough. Read The House In Fata Morgana if you come away from a VN having learned something, though. The game's primary messages cut DEEP, and touch issues that few VNs ever seriously tackle. Quote
Zakamutt Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Ibn al-Nafis comes to mind. Unfortunately it kinda sucks, whatever @babiker may claim. Quote

I doubt we will be able to help you without some sort of precise guidelines. Visual novels in general are entertainment first and foremost; albeit many of them might often delve into sort of educational topics or infodump about a particular subject, you rarely stumble upon games that were made precisely with educational purpose in mind. To be honest, there's a bunch of them available, but the only one that comes to my mind at the moment, whilst being english language is probably Go! Go! Nippon! (the 2016 version, to be precise). It's one of the very few visual novels, that were created precisely in an effort to teach gaijins a little bit about Japan from a traveller's perspective. It tries to be quite informative, while not being solely a boring, educational guide of some sorts. For what it is, I think it did it's job well. By all means, it's definitely not a 100% educational work, though. I know there are some free amateur evn's that dabbled in educational purposes, but I haven't really checked any of them, nor do I think their quality level warrants for a good experience. In fact - most of them do suck. Edited June 6, 2018 by Narcosis Dreamysyu 1 Quote

AustriaVNFan Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Well, funnily enough I can think of this one. (ChuSinGura) It gives you a very good and detailed idea about the historical happenings concerning the 47 Ronins. A lot of things told there and even the names of them are mostly authentic, you just need to realize that the ronins were not cute girls fuyopon 1 Quote
