i was watching this twitch streamer (known weeb) and he was playing this japanese VN about a detective case and i was intrigued by it. Asked in chat for the name and downloaded the game. I played it for hours until i had to google because i was stuck. Then on google i find out its actually a p0rn game and the goal is to unlock s***with the characters. Have not played a VN since then. "kara no shojo" was the name iirc.

I am genuinely curious on how you even get stuck on a VN

I think I remember seeing that Kara no Shoujo has some like, incredibly egregious puzzle solving for the the murder investigations or something like that.

"It's impossible to finish without a guide. At one point there is a pixel-perfect spot during an investigation that you need to click on, sadly I'm not even kidding with that. Chances are extremely high that you will end up on a bad route when just playing normally. You could do that until you get stuck, but you will probably have to replay the whole thing afterwards because you need to collect "ending points" through arbitrary decisions where to spend time."

The thought that there's someone out there that plays VNs exclusively for the nsfw scenes and then had to come across some confusing puzzles that requires guides is killing me

My ass ain't trying to deal with either man, I just want a good story

the comedic part about my story is that i actually did not know that it is a nsfw game and was shocked when i found out

Just finished up Full Metal Daemon Muramasa. Definitely see why people call it one of the best; was a very very good read.

Saw this the other day. I'll take it if it's Mike Flanagan directing, but anyone else...

Once this popped up on the stream, I just said "nah not this bullshit again"

Lol s*** atleast could've been an actual sequel

never knew this thread existed lol thats fye

read anything new lately fam @op @Nute

Lol it's been awhile since I read a VN. I did read The Letter - Horror Visual Novel last December which I was kinda super underwhelmed by. Story just wasn't there for me. Also I read World End Syndrome which I knew nothing about and loved it besides the terrible route system.

Read most of the SciADV games too, which I currently miss reading right now. Chaos Child (goat), Robotics Notes, Steins Gate were great. Was supposed to start Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa but been busy.

What have you played recently?

I have a bad habit of starting VNs and not finishing them

tapped into the shell finally, been on my bl for ages. besides that been thinking bout doing a reread of majikoi again just for good times isk why, that might take forever lol.

yea i need to read muramasa too lol, always looked fire asl

i used to start several at once that wasn’t helping my case lol

That's what I've been doing too 🤦🏽‍♂️

lmao when i first started out years back i was doin majikoi, little busters and renai royale at once, s*** took me like almost 2 months when i could’ve done that in like 2 weeks flat if i never did that lmao

aint juggled s*** since

Need to read the 3 The Shells so bad, been on my to play list forever lol

how is the STEINS;GATE series? looking to pickup the first one, not sure when i will start it though

I really enjoyed the series overall, even though I have my problems with some. The atmosphere in them are top notch.

I read them in this order:

1. Chaos Head Noah
2. Steins Gate (Not Elite)
3. Some of Steins Gate Darling Embrace
4. Robotics Notes Elite
5. Chaos Child
6. Steins Gate 0 (alternate timeline )
7. Robotics Notes Dash

They’re all related to each other but you can probably skip the non Steins Gate titles even though they’re good and some of them I actually like better than Steins Gate itself. Like Chaos Head/Child which is more horror focused and Robotics Notes which is more friendship & robots, space focus. With Steins Gate being pure science & time travel

Started steins gate 0 a whule ago but haven't finished

I completed a route of nukitashi couple months ago. Im seeing ppl making a fuss out of it since the anime came out recently lmao

Might be time to give the Tsukihime Remake another shot.
