Re: Recommend me a Visual Novel.
VN recommendation thread that got buried.
http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=13&t ... mmendation
Both of the VNs you said are a bit long for newbies, but Fate Stay Night was my first VN for a reason. To fully appreciate Ever17, you probably have to read more VNs.
I can recommend Yume Miru Kusuri, True Remembrance, Tokyo Alice, and Saya no Uta for being of reasonable length and good (though some aspects of YMK may annoy you, and the last one is horror.)
Kira Kira is a bit longer, but if you like rock music, you'll enjoy it.

Eh, sorry about this. I'm new here and I have a tendency to forget to use the search bar.
Re: Recommend me a Visual Novel.
Its very short and very linear (As in no choices) but I have a soft spot for Narcissu - http://narcissu.insani.org/ - only takes 3-4 hours to run through, tops. Free, too.

Re: Recommend me a Visual Novel.
Right now, I'm chekcing out "A Drug that Makes you Dream" (while at the meantime, playing some King of Fighters and old school arcade games on my computer, ha ha). So far, I'm loving it and it's a very bittersweet game, It's worth checking out.
Also, check out Higurashi/Umineko no Naku Koro Ni if you like horror mystery. Be weary both games are rather long and lieaner.

While on the subject of Narcissu, I would also recommend True Remembrance which (like Narcissu) is free and is also in English.Palodin wrote:Its very short and very linear (As in no choices) but I have a soft spot for Narcissu - http://narcissu.insani.org/ - only takes 3-4 hours to run through, tops.

Re: Recommend a VN
Don'r know if someone else posted this already or if this is really a VN, but I enjoyed Playing "To the Moon",

A funny story about this is, when I explain this VN to my firend, his only comments was, "So.. you trick a dying old man? Who's wants to play that?"

VNs and RPGs are separated by a fuzzy line, so it's not your fault if you can't tell.Libra wrote:Don'r know if someone else posted this already or if this is really a VN, but I enjoyed Playing "To the Moon",

"To the Moon is an indie Adventure RPG, about two doctors traversing through the memories of a dying man to fulfill his last wish."

Hmm... I have heard good things about this game. I'll keep it in mind. Besides, it's execution, not premise. I have a bad habit of making everything I try to explain sound stupid.

Re: Recommend a VN
I just finished YMK, it was pretty good overall(I actually like Nekkoko's arc the best, even though no one else seems to share my opinion).
I started playing Kira-Kira. Didn't get very far in, but I'm liking it so far. Seems pretty different so far, so that's always a good thing. One thing is though, the MC seems pretty mopey, so I hope that changes.

Saya no Uta was really good, the only thing that brought it down were the (actually very useless) sex scenes.

Re: Recommend a VN
Does the game Heavy Rain or Indigo Prophecy counts?
Re: Recommend a VN
DearDrops was a pretty good VN. The Kanade ad Riho routes were the best. The other two were kinda fluff. Riho route is the canon route which the DearDrops VS D2B squeal fandisk was based on. So play that one last. Overall it's got it's drama, but it's broken up by some comedy here and there. Oh, and the music rocks.

Re: Recommend a VN
What about something light hearted an not so serious ( i need a break for the serious VNs for a while cause the last 3 drained me ... KS , YMK and Kana ) i need something with a more fun feel to it
