Funyarinpa Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I'm nearly done with Never7, and I'm looking for a sci-fi VN with many plot twists, preferably also time travel (which is usually a spoiler, so don't mention if a VN has it in the comments) I've read 999, Muv Luv, Ever17 and Steins Gate. Loved all except Muv Luv. What VN would you recommend? I/O? Chaos; Head? I can only read translated. grim_tales1 1 Quote
Zakamutt Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I/O. Chaos;Head... not so much. Remember11 is decent but has a very annoying ending, however you could always hit up some explanatory blog afterward. Worth reading while you're still.. reading it? Virtue's Last Reward if you have one of the platforms it's on and can buy the actual game, otherwise you'll have to wait for the emulators Fuckall else far as I know. Quote
MrP Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I/O, Chaos;Head, Remember 11, YU-NO maybe? I think these are all masterpieces in their own way, although they all have their flaws too. You seem to like the same sort of stuff I do, so I'd also say I really enjoyed fate/stay night and Kara no Shojo, although they honestly don't have anything to do with themes you mentioned. Amazing story though. If you can make it through the duller sections of Ever17 you likely enjoy all of these. Also maybe try Snatcher or Policenauts if you don't mind messing around with emulators a bit. Only YU-NO, Fate and KnS have sex scenes. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 I completely read through Remember11 and Virtue's Last Reward (VLR is my favorite game actually). I guess I'll go with I/O then Quote
SoulJustIn Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Funyarinpa-san, i also like "999" and Ever17 too. (i also vote Ever17 "masterpiece" on vndb) . but i haven't read Muv Luv and Steins Gate . (ps: Steins Gate is my next future read). i didn't read muv luv but i already read Muv-Luv Alternative . <---- I recommend since i still new in vn field , i don't know much sci-fi VN maybe Soul Link ? <- (no really my recommend but it only all i can think about sci-fi VN) i got vn called Killer Queen , not really sci-fi but got same situation with "999" and Ever17 . (also i like) another vn from psp , called Corpse Party BloodCovered (same with "999" and Ever17 too but vn is "Horror") , and future will released in window platform. Bakudan★Handan also i recommend but the vn suit only for female.... Thank you for reading until the end , and sorry about my grammar and my (not sci-fi vn) recommend . (ps: can't control myself recommend since i saw Danganronpa avatar and Ever 17 signature ..... .....) Quote
fun2novel Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I think I/O will be right up your alley. Quote
MrP Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 "Sci-fi mindfuck VN" is about as concise a description of I/O as possible, really. I'd advise using the recommended route order lemnisca gave. Quote
Life Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I agree with the others and say remember 11 is good. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 I've read Remember11 completely Quote
fun2novel Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Personally I would put it under the horror category than sci-fi. Quote
phersu Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Personally I would put it under the horror category than sci-fi. Whatever. It has sci-fi elements. Quote
fun2novel Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The I call Killer Clowns From Mars as sci-fi too Quote
phersu Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The I call Killer Clowns From Mars as sci-fi too I'll allow it. Quote
Monmon Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I/O and YU-NO!!! Especially Yu-no, The story is pretty superb even with old graphics, but its one of my top 10 english vn. Well, if u dont mind stupid protag u can always try Chaos;head. Quote
FinalChaos Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 If you like mind-screw then you should like Chaos;Head. There is a lot of paranoia so be prepared. Also I would advise you to not have any expectations from the protag, you should assume from the start that he will always try to run away(but again that is what a sensible person would do rather than getting involved in some sinister/dangerous stuff), and it is a bit hard to bear his severe lack of social skills. Despite the protag being unlikable, his character is one of the things that makes the game unique and as good a mind-screw it is. Also you should go back and do a quick run-through of S;G, after reading C;H. All those hidden references are a pleasure to see. I would also recommend Cross+Channel. It isn't exactly sci-fi but I think it will suit your needs. Quote

MrP Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Zero content spoiled here just unlock structure, A->B->C->D->E->C'->D'->B'->A'->E' iirc, you don't need to worry too much about the in-route choices as long as you save often and you can skip around freely anyway. If you need any help with the 'defrag' system the walkthrough separates general help and spoilery stuff well; https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/4635-io/ Quote
