Have anyone played A wife and mother/our red strings inwant games like that where wife or gf is exposed to courruption and where a game like truth and dare occurs like the on in Our Red strings. Specially involving interrecial, the shower scene where vicky sophia and deshawn if you know you know, I just need that kinda games Tags:female protagonist, courruption, interracial,an##, cheating, milf and wife not the single one married one Please help a brother out
So far my top 3 favourite visual novels are - 1. Phoenix wright ace Attorney and investigation series (just peak except 2/3 cases out of 50) , 2. Raging loop (first 90% of the game) , 3. Steins gate , I want a visual novel focused on mystery or scifi and preferably interesting in first few hours
is there any grounded and realistic detective vn.....I've already tried kara no shoujo
So I thought I'd try something different for a change. Recommend some good male domination, female submissive Visual Novels.
I know how vndb tags work, but I'm looking for something you personally recommend or have read. But that got me thinking, do we even have any male-domination Visual Novels?
Hey, everyone! 👋
I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on—The Mirror of the Soul, a horror visual novel that dives into themes of fear, morality, and the battle between good and evil. Inspired by classic Gothic literature and psychological thrillers, this game takes you into an ancient manor where a cursed mirror does more than reflect—it unveils the very essence of your soul.
The story combines:
🔮 A hauntingly atmospheric setting
💡 Choices that matter, shaping the outcome of the tale
💀 A psychological horror experience rooted in mystery and suspense
The concept is built around the idea that the devil’s most sinister achievement was convincing the world he doesn’t exist. But what happens when you’re forced to face the truth?
I’m excited to bring this vision to life, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions about the project. Also, if you’re into sneak peeks and updates, I’ve set up a website here: The Diamonds of the Sun.
What do you think? Would you dare to confront what’s waiting in The Mirror of the Soul?
Have played some romance VNs like aokana and am playing kinkoi golden loveriche and koi choco. Other than that I've got Stein's gate and tsukihime in my backlog. Can someone suggest some good romance VNs with multiple good heroines? I prefer the VN to be long and have high preference for the ones with H scenes too.
I love visual novels, particularly those aimed at adults, because I will admit I do genuinely enjoy reading through the text even if a lot of the more raunchy content is very cheesy and easily forgettable.
I’m asking for more adult visual novels because 1. I have a personal fascination with gentle female domination of all kinds (e.g. Monster Girl Quest, Monster Musume, etc.) 2. I want to try and jumpstart writing a paper about the particular genre, themes, social commentary, etc.
I’ve played a bit of Monster Girl Quest, I’ve played both Chapter one and two of more indie games like quest failed or Monster Girl Dreams, and even a lot more bdsm focused ones like Detective Masochist or Nope Nope Nurses. While all of the above do have elements of female dominance I’d like to find something that’s a bit more on the lighter end of that same femdom spectrum If possible!
I want female leads who have more naturally coloured hair. School Days has exactly this, where they all have black or brown hair, but... It's School Days lol.
I also wouldn't mind blondes and redheads. Other bright or pastel coloured hair kinda don't do it for me. I wouldn't mind the colours if it were similar to School Days where the colour is heavily tinted black rather than being pure black.
Root Letter did this. The protagonist goes on a trip to figure out why his penpal stopped writing to him after leaving one last cryptic message 15 years prior.
Hey everyone! So, I'm writing the story for a visual novel and about to finish it. It's time for the last few chapters and endings (well, then quite some time for proofreading and editing, of course). And it's a given that I share the story with other team members who give their honest thoughts on what they like and what they want changed due to whatever reasoning. There has been a conversation about the endings, and quite a few people really want to give the story what I call 'a very happy ending' where everything is just perfect. Now, I usually go for the happy endings with a few 'buts' here and there: everything is good, but...
So, that's where the question for you, beautiful people, comes - do you want to be rewarded with a happy ending after a long and sometimes tense/dark/heavy story? Do you feel that it must be feasible to achieve such an ending, and how would you deal with the situation when the ending is worse than you wanted?
I would love to hear all your thoughts on the topic of happy endings.
P.s. I would also love for you to check out the first chapter of the game I'm writing - Robot's Fate: Alice. It is a slice-of-life of a robot in the world where robots aren't trusted. If you go self-aware or more sophisticated than people feel comfortable, your whole personality must be 'deleted.' So, yeah, it's about 'what does it mean to be a human?' and another take on the robots and humans society tropes, hopefully fresh enough for you to enjoy in its final form. Thanks!
Hey everyone! I want to hear your opinion on voice overs in visual novels. How important is it for you? Do you prefer listening over reading if there's a voice over? And if so, are you willing to listen to an unprofessional narrator reading the text or does it only work for you when there are good actors on it?
Choose your option:
Hey guys, with all the wrapped statistics and recaps done by major music streaming services, I wanted to share the track I heard the most this year. It’s the main theme of the game, Robot’s Fate: Alice, I’m working on. I think it gives you an idea, more or less, of what to expect from the rest of the 21 tracks.
I would love to hear any thoughts, critique, feedback, you name it, about the main theme. And I would love even more if you could check the game’s demo (where you can hear more tracks)!
Just 100%ed Room No. 9
Hey Readers,
So I just got into this genre of of game recently. I dabbled in the past but nothing really grabbed my attention until i played Saya No Uta (Song of Saya)
That game.. was pretty gross. It was beautiful and told a really really good story and I quite enjoyed/hated it. I love horror and disturbing shit. It was honestly a completely grotesque and disgusting masterpiece.
From there I went to Dramatical Murder, which has been good but I haven’t finished it. I grabbed it because I prefer BL stuff and it seemed to have a pretty dark story.
I decided to pick up Room No. 9 which I read was shorter and also dark and dove right in. And I loved it. It did have some… unsightly stuff, and though that particular scene wasn’t my thing, i felt it really added to the story especially because there wasn’t a way around it.
So for someone who kinda dove head first into the dark end of Visual Novels, where do I go from here?
Preferably BL but if its really good, I don’t mind others as well.
TLDR: Specifically, I am looking for dark story, horror, gore, strong psychological themes, and hot dudes not exclusively.
For example, Liar-soft space-themed CANNONBALL
D.U.O.~song for all~'s near-future city
luv wave's sophisticated cyber-sensitive city
I like Visual Novel with gorgeous background CG art that reveals the fantasy atmosphere of the story.
SF, near future, fantasy stories, space romance, of course other themes are fine, thank you!
(I'm not a native English speaker and may speak a little strangely, if the link to the picture doesn't open please let me know!:D)
Please if you have any suggestions
Hi im looking for a cheap vns. By cheap i mean 0-20€. The genre doesn't really matter. I just want to play something that doesn't cost so much. Thanks for your answers.
How do you feel about situational SFXs for narrative purposes (environmental sounds, laughing, sounds of interaction with objects, etc.) in VNs? Is it something you must have in the game for a better immersion, or does it do quite the opposite for you: breaking any immersion? I’m currently making a game (some of you might have noticed it by certain posts I did), and there’s a certain number of standard SFXs for different situations. We’ve got some feedback for the game: some people wanted more SFXs, and some criticized the SFXs that were already in the game.
So, I wanted to get a specific discussion concerning SFXs. What do you think? How many or few effects should there be? Etc. Anything you can contribute is welcomed and would be much appreciated. Thanks!
How often do you leave feedback when you consume content? Do you feel compelled to leave feedback when a VN is bad or good? And if something is wrong with a VN, how openly are you willing to criticize the drawbacks?
I'm looking for horror / horror eroge VNs I already know the popular ones like higurashi, euphoria ,saya no Uta ,totono and wonderful everyday I'm really thankful for any replies <3
Curious about VNs that have a protagonist who makes you go "bruhh".
Im new to this genre and want to try a romance vn 😄😄
It is a visual novel I played using a mobile phone. The gist of the story is that the mc is having a divorce with his wife. He sort of goes back in time after a self-inflicted car crash and relives his college memories with his friends (inc her wife). I am very sure that the art style is anime and some parts/branches of the story are pay to unlock. I personally want to play it again. I hope that you can help me find this certain vn or suggest a similar vn (on any platform). Thank you in advance!
Hi everyone! Just need the nastiest, weirdest shit you've got, the more horrific the better. Can be nsfw/yaoi/yuri I don't care 😭 (censored title as idk if you're allowed to swear in them lol)
The thing is, I am working on a novel about an AI-powered robot in a futuristic setting, and I am curious if I missed any of the existing works on this topic. I have read some, but curious to see what I might have overlooked. What are your personal top picks?
I really want to see tribal dark skinned girls. Sakura forest girls was perfect but...it is yuri. And i don't like yuri.
Is there any alternative? I want to see straight relationships aimed at a male audience
Does anyone have recommendations for VNs set in the Victorian Era? (Or with a Victorian aesthetic)
Hi everyone, i'm just getting into VN's and I'd really love some recs. Anything horror/psychological is great but i'm happy to play anything basically! I also have no idea what is popular or not so literally anything goes (I will say I have played Saya no Uta and liked it!) Eroge content is fine as well as anything non hetero lol. Ty in advance!
Ok, im looking for some stuff. A VN like Katawa Shoujo, a VN with monster girls (Lamias, Half-dragons and stuff like that), and/or a VN with one of the romanceable girls being homeless. Do you guys know any?
I want to know if there is any visual novels that can be read on android
