StaceyPowers Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I’ve never played a visual novel before, and don’t even entirely know what the genre is. Does anyone here play visual novels, and if so, which do you recommend on any system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shine_Spirit Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I play visual novels sometimes, but I don't think they are on my list when it comes about indispensable games. I mean, they are good (in my opinion)... But not all that great! In the end, I think they worth it just for a lazy fun, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachiwo Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Honestly, this is my first time of ever hearing about visual novel. I have literally no clue what it's all about, but I'm definitely going to be looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what it's all about and from the looks of it, I'm not sure if I'm going to be bothered about it because I still have so many I haven't played which are already in my possession.

Reality vs Adventure Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 What's visual novel? Like bubble messages? Or like a fairy tale story such as Wolf Among Us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most famous example of a visual novel would probably be Doki Doki Literature Club. The idea is a forum of interactive narrative whare players read text matched with images in the background to tell the story. Sometimes the characters are voiced and sometimes they re not and there often music as well. Think of it like a digital picture book. Usually the outcome of the story is determined by player choice. The quality of a visual novel is dependent on the artwork and the how good the narrative itself actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a new era of graphic novels; I can imagine how GI Joe or Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales would be like as I love those graphic novels. Without going full blown animated, they could add some cool effects to it. I'd definitely buy if they had something like that available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Doki Doki Literature Club is free to play, so if there's a good place to start, it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just looked up the reviews about Doki Doki Literature Club and it seems great. I might probably be giving it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
