They’ve all been mentioned, but I want to second my favorites of all time
My roommate just finished ‘Until Then’ last night and she was crying her eyes out, so I know it’s gonna be good, I just haven’t played it yet.
Edit: I almost forgot Tsukihime! It’s great with a few different routes that wildly change what the story is about, so highly recommended!
Pony island was awesome!
It’s definitely not exactly DDLC, but it’s so good and unique I put it in the same ‘greatest VNs of all time’ category. Slay the Princess is a masterpiece, and I’d urge you to bump it up on your backlog!
Pyre was the game that made me get into visual novels. Took me about 10 minutes to go from ‘When do I get to the game part’ to ‘Idgaf about soccer please just keep talking to me’ and I think it’s because it wasn’t marketed as a VN. All in all, everything supergiant touches is gold.
I started learning Japanese in my spare time as of Oct 1st, and in 2 weeks I’ve managed to learn both Hiragana and Katakana which means as long as it isn’t written in Kanji I can now read Japanese! I have no idea what the words mean, but I can read them!
Shoutout to ‘he’, ‘be’ and ‘pe’ the only sounds with the same symbol in both Hiragana and Katakana.
