From what you mentioned I only played Muv-luv Extra, Tama route only and I loved it.

So if you remember that and imagine a structure like that, where the plot of the VN is centered around the character of the heroine, her development and such and the story comes second, then I can recommend others like that. With moe characters as well

Basically characters > overall plot. The story there is the tool to test the characters and show their personality.

If it is the story you want the most and the characters are just the means to tell the story, not the other way around, then I'll let someone else advise.

Let's see. If you liked G-senjou no Maou you can try Sharin no Kuni by the same author.

I'd recommend Kara no Shoujo to anyone because I loved it, too.

Hmm, okay, will give them both a try!

Well, tbh, I don't know which one I'd prefer, so, if you can suggest anything, that'd be awesome!

[InvertMouse]

Narcissu and Ever17 for me! The first one if you're in the mood for a tear jerker. More touching than Clannad in my opinion. Ever17 is the place to go for a mind bender~ Also, 999 (on the DS) .

KEY games are very character centric, I would recommend Little Busters (and don't watch the anime). Its a lot about friendship and such.

Their other works like Kanon, Clannad, Rewrite are also so awesome.

From English versions of those only Kanon has H-scenes.

And then there is Hoshizora no Memoria, all the characters are so Moe and have great personalities and as a bonus there are late game H-scenes (which are very good too).

All those mentioned have awesome story too, full of mysteries about love and friendship and such, but the characters are what makes those games.

Ok, I'll find a way to DL them, and when I have the time, gonna give these a try!

they are all on fuwanovel

[Tay]

I'll second the suggestion for Sharin no Kuni. It's a GREAT game. It's hosted on Fuwanovel, so it's an easy-download.

When you're downloading it, make sure you get "Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo". That's the original game. One you've finished it, Fuwanovel also has the fandisk "Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo", which has extra epilogue-esque content, and a bonus prequel story.

Uh. I should check up what happens on the main site once in a while.

Downloading this right now >_>

Just use VNDB's ratings, everything from the first page is worth reading. Click on titles, check tags to see which are more appealing for you.

Sometimes I wished I could take a week off my day job and just rip through all these VNs you guys are mentioning B).

I have to admit that's the one reason i'm not doing an internship this summer. Just because it will be the last time before long until i'll have two full months to play and watch stuff all day.

4) Yume Miru Kusuri

I'm currently playing Saya no Uta. :)/>

Hmm.

- Sharin no Kuni is one of the more underrated but incredibly good VN's that I'd recommend.

- Fate/Stay also comes to mind if you want something more epic and fantasy-scaled.

- Rewrite if you want something philosophical and if you believe yourself open minded enough to ask the questions it suggests.

- Little Busters! Is one of the more fun and energy filled things with a rather hefty emotional impact. It's about friendship and by Key.

- Crescendo is one I feel like doesn't get mentioned enough. Kind of short, but theres a lot of things in it that really deserve talking about. It's YMKish, except with a different message.

- Depending how you are on mindscrew and whatnot I could add more, but I'll just put Chaos;Head here.

Thats all I can say now.

[Tief Blau]

I never posted in this thread?

Ever17.

[zoloft@@]

It would be easier for us to recommend if you can specify your favorite genres.

If it's about school life, a little romance and drama: stick with Key's VNs.

If it's about erotic scenes or eroge that you wanted to use for whatever purposes they are: try Sengoku Rance.

If you find joy in playing tactical games: try Sengoku Rance, Utawarerumono.

If you think action and bloody games are for you, try Fate/Stay, Tsukihime.

[Thantiir]

If you like VNs that include some good gameplay aspects, I really enjoyed my play through of Eien no Aselia....I felt like that one picked up a lot as the game went on. I really enjoyed the latter part of the game, and the strategy behind the combat was just challenging enough to hold my interest.

[Daeyamati]

Narcissu and Ever17 for me! The first one if you're in the mood for a tear jerker. :D/>.

I second the Narcissu recommendation! Planetarian is also another good tear-jerker.

I think another one with fun gameplay was Utawarerumono. Always forget that one for some reason. It was a fine game .

[nogo104]

I highly recommend True Remembrance. It's free and has one of the best stories i've ever played

[Skeith]

Wow! Thanks for all your inputs! I'll definitely find the time to play all these games that you guys recommended!

EDIT: Hoshizora no Memoria is 3.65GB! Didn't expect VN games' file size to get this big. Looking forward to this~

Yeah, sorry bout that. But, I don't really have any specific genre, so I guess anything goes. Well, except for the full yaoi... maybe...?

[CaptainNerdlinger]

Not sure if said, but Chaos;head, Steins;gate, and Sharin No Kuni are all fine choices
