I've read saya no uta, now I have kikokugai cyber slayer from the same writer. What am I in for?

>>1752 Grimdark, edgy shit with forced pseudo-philosophical ramblings ripped from elsewhere interspersed within. That's all Urobuchi does, anyways. :^)

>>1758 Seems cool, I already like Yoko Taro.

You realize this is a board for games, right?

I recommend Subarashiki Hibi for Wittgenstein fellatio and black humor. It turned out a lot dumber than I was expecting given the hype, but still quite a trip.

>>1751 is world end economica REDpilled?

Ever 17 was my first VN and is still on of my favorites. I imagine most older VN fags read it given not many were translated back then.

I only read moege.

>>2154 No, it's ancap pilled >>1752 It's boring as shit tbh Read subarashiki hibi if you want philosophy rambling

>>2182 All I remember of Kikokugai is that it had a pretty decent cyberpunk atmosphere and also a ridiculously edgy sex scene towards the end. Subahibi is cool but you have to admit the first chapter is largely rambling, lesbians and creepypasta coma signs. After that it picks up fast and continually entertains, although you have that detour into Lars von Trier territory about 3/4 through, which I expected but did not find so fun.

>>2182 Just looks like generic blue skies high school moe stuff.

Ahem... I would like to make an announcement. WHY THE FUCK WAS I BROUGHT UP UNDER CAPITALISM IF I WAS BORN ONLY A FEW DECADES EARLIER I COULD HAVE BEEN A PIONEER AND MAKE LOVE WITH CUTE PIONEER GIRLS IN A PIONEER CAMP BATHING IN THE SUNLIGHT OF OUR BEAUTIFUL SOCIALIST HOMELAND SOMEBODY PLEASE END MY LIFE RIGHT NOW PLEASE I CANT BEAR THIS ANYMORE Thank you for you attention.

>>2199 You can still be a pioneer, there won't be socialist homeland and you wouldn't have had any chance with the girls anyway, but these things still exist.

Care to recommend me some "unusual" visual novels/dating sims/otome? I cant stand high school setting or generic anime art style. Although I am willing to stomach those as long as there is interesting twist on gameplay. Just something that has different feel to it. Recently I played Salting the Earth (buff orc girls), Ladykiller in a Bind (consent and bdsm) and Teraurge (xenophile h-game).

>>2193 Subahibi pretends to be that to sucker you into the philosophy rambling and incredibly depressing mid section. Its worth a read.

>>1751 Romeo Tanaka is my favourite writer. They usually praise Cross Channel, but I think Rewrite is his magnum opus. In the end, does mother Terra want us to explore the space no matter how much it cost her? I don't know the answer anyway... However, fuck that Antoinette bitch.

>>3077 "a thousand arms" was an old ps1 rpg where a significant part of the game was going on dates with female rpg companions...it is all about the male protagonist who is a blacksmith by trade. pretty good lefty game there's also omegle

>>3667 I hadn't realised he did Yume Miru as well. I quite enjoyed that VN.

>>3671 If you enjoyed Yume Miru then I think you will enjoy his other works. He has a very realistic and dialectic but "bizarre" view on our world. I always want to write a detailed analysis of "Rewrite", but still haven't enough time to do so

>>3668 Why does seeing these semi-crappy old 90s/2000s games give me feels? I barely ever played them FFS

>>3667 Antoinette is love.

>>3671 Yes, I was hoping that she will turn into a good person by the power of MC, but the author is right: Aristocrats basically are irredeemable, many of them deserve the bullets

lol, >>3683 is for >>3682

>>3672 I've wanted to play Cross Channel for years now but I've heard only bad things about the existing translations and I sadly cannot (and do not have time to study) read Japanese.

>>3710 Translation of course isn't satisfactory, however I think it doesn't prevent you to enjoy if it really clicks, as ideas can cross the language barrier. Give it a try.

>>3741 Isn't it one of the VNs that leans more on the literary side and requires a competent translation? I've played subahibi which Cross Channel is often compared to (since they are denpa games) and I imagine a sub-par translation of that would have ruined it.

>>3765 It's because they only played visual novel for the appearance, but not for the essence. I usually played visual novel for new ideas, so subpar translation don't affect me much. I remember that I was once reading a short story of Romeo Tanaka by google translate (which was very bad back then), and was still surprised by his comment that "being successful by writing gal game, my hands are full of otaku's blood"

>>3682 Her and Eric Sparrow are the two most evil villains in all of gaming.

>>3077 >visual novels/dating sims/otome Is otome considered such a different genre or something? are there that many girls on this site, or is it because otome offers a different kind of experience? I would hope it's both, I feel lonely. What you consider "generic anime style" is not clear, but if you like eroge about consent, there's an otoge called Cute Demon Crashers. As an OELVN, it also has an obligatory bisexual option. https://vndb.org/v17210 The thing is, there's very few 18+ otome games, and even fewer in English: https://vndb.org/v/all?q=&fil=tag_inc-542.tagspoil-0.lang-en&rfil=minage-18&cfil=&s=title&o=a There's also my game

There's a VNDB thread about adding FOSS and Open Source as descriptors (separate from "Freeware") on visual novel releases in the database. https://vndb.org/t15173
