SFW VNs to recommend?

[InvertMouse]

Hello folks . I am currently on a two week break from my day job. For these two weeks, I will be locking myself in a library to do game development work. I would also like to take a break from time to time with some VNs. Obviously, in a public place, I am unable to read any 18+ stuff . Any games you guys can recommend?

 

Narcissu would be a great example. Mostly text and definitely no ecchi CGs of any kind. I have already read that one, though.

 

Thank you !

The All Ages versions of Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua, Hakuoki, Sweet Fuse, Ever17, Remember11, Zero Escape series and World End Economica.

Symphonic Rain isn't that long, it's safe for work and honestly pretty good.

You should be able to finish it in two weeks

You can read G senjou no maou. Theres a patch that removes anything H. Symphonic rain and Ever 17 I agree with. They're all great VNs. Also anything key post clannad.

[Silvz]

Higurashi and Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, both with no ecchi at all, but very freakin' good stories =3

Now you tell me? =( I'm starting Shiratori's route and was skipping all scenes because they were too meh

[JustThisOne]

I/O is pretty safe. 

[Clephas]

Tokyo Babel has no h-content.

[zoom909]

Mirai no Kimi to Subete no Uta ni (and it's short too, like one route of a regular VN without the common route)

 

Edit:  NEVER MIND, there's no H but I forgot you see her in her underwear, probably not what you wanted for a libary.

Well, I've read quite a few 18+ VNs in public places, including a library. The secret is to find a spot where nobody can look over your shoulder. A seat in a corner is perfect.

That said:

If you haven't read Ever17 and Steins;Gate, definitely read one of those, although they're pretty long and I know you don't like long VNs that much.

Chaos;Head is a hit or miss - I didn't like it that much, but a lot of people did.

Higurashi and Umineko are great, you might even be fine with the original graphics since you read One, but the graphics patches are great too, especially since the Umineko one also adds voices. If you do read them it's preferable to read Higurashi before Umineko, but it's not the end of the world if you do it the other way around.

I'm sure you've read Planetarian but I'll mention it anyway just in case.

Seconding the Symphonic Rain suggestion, it's not as long as some of the others I've suggested and it's really good.

Obviously Clannad, Little Busters and Rewrite if you haven't read them already.

Finally, True Remembrance, Lonely Yuri and Ballad of an Evening Butterfly are short and safe. True Remembrance has an interesting story, Lonely Yuri is pretty much an hour of shoujo ai and Evening Butterfly is just weird, but still an interesting read.

[Mephisto]

Steins;Gate. 

The localized version of Grisaia(note there will be stuff that's still borderline SFW) 

Any key game (not ex version of lb)

eien no aselia

[MDruidd]

Clannad

Steins Gate

Ever 17

Rewrite

Symphonic Rain

 

 

All Age

[Okami]

The ones nobody mention yet are:

 

Aoishiro

Amaranto

Katawa Shoujo (Has an option to turn of a H)

Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa wo Hirogete (Without a fan restoration patch)

[Clephas]

Cross Channel has the option to remove H-scenes, as does Tsukihime (with english patches).

[InvertMouse]

Thank you for the responses everyone! I reckon I might give Symphonic Rain a try .

[babiker]

Do you mind one more?

 

try nanolife, a verrry short android VN that's available for free in the play store. It's about an MMO, and it makes you ask questions you've never asked before;is it really right to kill monsters just for some EXP?   Really deep story with cute art and nice music. And seeing that it only takes half an hour to an hour to read, it's the best choice for a break (and of course, no H-scene) http://vndb.org/v10165

[InvertMouse]

Of course I don't mind babiker ! The shorter the better for me, to be honest. I love that feeling of having finished a game. Downloading now .

[InvertMouse]

By the way, of course I am joking about this, but I can imagine one of your folks going "urm yeah how about Bible Black that one should be a good read" then laughing your ass off as I go to the library (;w;)!

[yashasupercow]

recommend kara no shoujo :3

[Zakamutt]

Sepia tears is a decent oelvn with some nonshit prose on occasion, non-h of course. Maybe a 3 hour read or something, but I read slow so idk.

[Tenkuru]

I recommend you to read True Remembrance and Symphonic Rain.There're many other all-ages VNs out there, but since they're more or less well known, I doubt I'll need to state them. 

[Nyanko]

Higanbana might be good for this situation, it has chapters with little stories. True Remembrance is a nice short VN too. 

[InvertMouse]

Thanks for the further recommendation guys . I have actually read True Remembrance many years ago when I was in university. No longer can I recall what the story is about, though ^-^;.

[Snowtsuku]

Symphonic Rain and Key stuffs.

Symphonic Rain is something I highly recommend though.

Weeping manly tears in a library might not be a good idea.
