Chronopolis Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I've found myself a bit burnt out on the games I'm playing and looking for something new. You can see what I've played from my vndb profile. 日本語OKです. Criteria: Isn't moege. Can be a game that classified as nakige but can't be something just meant to make you cry. No KEY. Doesn't primarily take place in a school setting. Isn't really dark and screwed up. Simply being sad, gloomy, harsh via realism, or serious is OK Isn't super convoluted and confusing. Has some plot or is plot-focused (not a huge amount of slice of life, charage's are ok if they come with drama/plot). Doesn't have long infodumps. Doesn't use excessively grand verbose language (ie. dies irae, hello lady, muramasa) Quote
Chronopolis Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Does the game have to be good? surrendertome 1 Quote
edwd2 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 White Album 2 Kazoku Keikaku Memories Off Series Baldr Sky Dive Soukoku no Arterial Gekkou no Carneval Hatsuyuki Sakura Majo Koi Nikki Mirai Nostalgia Irotoridori no Sekai Quote
Tenkuru Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Comyu, Narcissu and True Remembrance are what I can think of from the top of my head. Symphonic Rain is a really good read too, but it does kind of take place in a school setting. Quote
Chronopolis Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 White Album 2 Kazoku Keikaku Memories Off Series Baldr Sky Dive Soukoku no Arterial Gekkou no Carneval Hatsuyuki Sakura Majo Koi Nikki Mirai Nostalgia Irotoridori no Sekai Thanks for the suggestions! White Album 2 -- Yeah, that's looks like a good choice. Kazoku Keikaku -- I've kinda shirked away from it since it's moenovelized but it's been highly rated in a few places... hmm. Memories Off Series -- I've never heard of the series before O.o. The more human characters and drama is nice, reminds me of (https://vndb.org/v10557) Baldr Sky Dive = infodump, also very overwhelmingly long Soukoku no Arterial -- already playing something with gameplay Gekkou no Carneval -- nitro = fighting with lots some infodump Hatsuyuki Sakura -- will check out, damn those ratings are high. Majo Koi Nikki -- From what I hear my impressions of this game are... complicated, (https://vndb.org/t5426) Mirai Nostalgia -- bad experience from purple's soft's hapymaer, which is supposedly a better game Irotoridori no Sekai -- played it a teeny bit, didn't like it. Probably will play it eventually (play at least one irotoridori/hoshimemo-like game) Comyu, Narcissu and True Remembrance are what I can think of from the top of my head. Symphonic Rain is a really good read too, but it does kind of take place in a school setting. Ah, I took a look at reviews of Comyu and it looks like something that would definitely interest me (emphasized is the sense of community, though each person has motives, and the vn also explores some of the immediate consequences/possibilities that would arise from gaining control of such power). Narcissu and True Rembrance I will get to some time. I also saw Symphonic rain, and someone said that the mini-games were adorable. Quote
Clephas Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Majo Koi Nikki is... blech. Tsukiakari Lunch is better. Abyss Homicide Club Futagoza no Paradox Owaru Sekai to Birthday Harumade Kururu Natsukumo Yururu Sinclient Soukou Akki Muramasa (despair aplenty) Vermilion Bind of Blood Houkago no Futekikakusha (it is in a school, but it is so nightmarishly horrifying to the characters I doubt if you'll even notice) Gekkou no Carnevale Hotel. (soft post-apocalyptic utsuge) Izuna Zanshinken (has a school part, but it is contrasted with the protagonist being a vengeance-for-hire assassin) Quote
