Alive thread and medium unlike light novel shit(banished to oblivion)
What are the notable nakiges from the 2000s? Besides the obvious key stuff of course.

I bought a Mac Mini m4 thinking it would relieve my Chinese mini PC of being my daily driver so I could install Windows on it and use it for the VNs I couldn't get working in Wine since that computer doesn't allow virtual machines due to it being cheapshit. Surprisingly, despite being ARM x86 emulation using UTM has gotten good to the point I can run 7 and XP virtual machines on the Mac and everything just works. I know people here used to use x86 Windows tablets to play VNs, I wonder could an entry level arm tablet do the same for playing VNs in bed.
Here to shill a game I'm 100% sure no one's played from a new circlehttps://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ01343659.htmlWent in thinking it was a throwaway NTR/悪落ちヘロイン nukige and ended up being absolutely wowed by the framing of the game and the plot. Didn't even jerk off (though definitely could have). It's only a couple hours and it really doesn't waste the player time much.Without spoiling, the plot is that you're a guy who's lost his memories and are being guided by a girl to relive your lost memories and remember who you are. But turns out that basically everything around the MC is rotten and the good memories are few and far between. I really liked this framing of the game, the author made great work of it and there was excellent payoff at the end. For a spoiler review I'd refer to the top dlsite review by the guy who starts out with>エロ同人のレビューはおろか、YouTubeにコメントしたこともないROM専だが、多くの人に購買してもらいたいので初投稿する。he sells it wellI will warn though that the author has got a, let's call it avant garde, taste in エロ. Besides my warning earlier that it's NTR, there's also a really extended intro involving half-insect cannibal girls. And later there is ryona and a lot of torture.
>>50384754>Went in thinking it was a throwaway NTR/悪落ちヘロイン nukige and ended up being absolutely wowed by the framing of the game and the plot.Many such cases!
>>50319620it was... ok. definitely overstayed its welcome, but i can imagine having this single game and playing it everyday after school for a whole year. definitely a milestone for eroge tho, i don't think there were other games of this scope at the time of release
Why are isekai Vns so rare compared to novels and manga
>>50385289Because VN producers are terrible at adapting to current trends for the most part.
>>50385289because vns are targeted at adults and not teens
>>50385289Not enough budget, it would require a lot of different backgrounds, tachie, locations and different seiyuu to actually deliver or try to deliver a good experience, and modern eroge budget is fucking poor compared to 20 years ago
>>50385289>>50385312>>50385354Isekai is a trend that I'm happy VNs are not latching onto no matter the reason.
chuuni is better
>>50385405No one is talking about trends, having an isekai eroge where there is actual romance with sex could be refreshing, and im talking about one with actual story and not nukige.Also is not like we aren't getting cancerous trends already with shit like remakes and the pure gyaru shit
>chuunitoo childish and indiancore for my liking
>>50385405It would be kino though. The part that makes isekai LNs/Anime shit is that they are bound by the rules of the medium. So no h-scenes, no romance for heroines and so on. What >>50385354 said is pretty much spot on. https://vndb.org/v23736 showed that the genre has potential in VN form, but even though it had a decent budget there were way too many heroines (partly because it was a glorified ad for the upcoming gacha -that died shortly after release-) which kind of ruined it.
>>50385422Yep. Hope Eve Bethel is good.
>>50385169>なお同じエルフ（elf）の作品の看板タイトル「同級生」か「同級生2」のどちらかは忘れましたが、主人公の父親は考古学者で海外を飛び回って家にいない設定があり>この父親はおそらくDE・JAの初芝竜介では？という説がありました。（ほんの一部で）cool
>>50385482what's my JOP powerlevel if i can read and understand this?
>>50385466And Meteor World Actor Gaslight Bullet too. We chuunibros are eating good.
>>50385466>>50386206Are these falseflags? Eve Bethel looks like a fortissimo type game, where it's mostly a moege with some chuuni moments. And Ryuusei World Actor (don't know why you're using the EOP name) isn't a chuunige.
>>50386290Is being excited for a game a "falseflag"? Sure, everyone loves making up new meanings of words nowadays so we can call it that.Eve Bethel looks far more like a proper plot focused game than a "moege with some chuuni moments" considering the effort going into it, but in any case it's not like there's any other full-length high budget chuunige on the horizon so I'll take what I can get and hope it's good.You're right that RWA isn't a chuunige at all tho
>>50386322>it's not like there's any other full-length high budget chuunige on the horizonAvesta....
>>50386327Assuming it actually does come out (lol) it would only be the first half of it.
>Meteor World ActorDoes that have good romance? VNDB reviews say it was dogshit and I read for romance.
>>50386290Meteor World Actor is the official name
>>50386354soulless
>WHITE ALBUM2Why did they give the greatest vinnie of all time an EOP name?
>>50386365>Why did they give the greatest vinnie of all time an EOP name?sakura no uta isnt an eop name
>>50386394SCA-JI is GOP (German Only Patrician).
>>50386290>>50386322Eve Bethel's OP is in completely broken English so it will be chuuni as fuck.
>>50386322Fortissimo series is 100% chuunige, if SOL scenes mattered Dies irae would not be chuunige either.
>>50386354That's called a sub title.
>>50386451MWA: TitleGaslight Bullet: Sub title
>>50386478I dunno. I see some weird characters above the MWA part.
>>50386485Yeah, japanese put the main title two times >>50386365 they are weird like that.
>>50385818uhm, n3?>>50386365it's a reference to beatles
She's right
I always think of that scene in Dies Irae whenever the 「アル」語尾 comes up
whats the most creative or daring setting on a vn you have read? I understand this is a japanese medium and we are bound to have that jap highschool archetypes and all that bullshit but is there something that really pushes the boundaries in the sense of being really out there setting-wise?
Where do you guys get old VNs that don’t have seeders on Sukebei anymore?
>>50388299There's plenty of fantasy VNs or VNs in other esoteric settings>>50388355DDL sites, or just buy it.
>>50388355RyuugamesH-sukiThe chink site
>>50385289isekai is common in lns and anime based on them because it's an easy hack by amateur narou writers to skip doing actual show-not-tell exposition. instead you get big tiddies airhead more than happy to explain every last detail of the setting to the clueless mcno self respecting writer does that garbage. ask yourself if the fact that the mc got isekai'd is actually contributing to the plot in a good way or if a native-born mc would be just as good
>>50388299sakuuta takes place in high school but all the males are イケメン chads. thats a pretty daring setting choice for a japanese work
>>50388562>but all the males are イケメン chads
>>50388567look at me in the eye and tell me you honestly wouldn't want to get subdued and hatefucked by the bodyguard
The main appeal of milf is that It's actually hotter knowing she had a kid and needs a new man(me) to dick her down.
>>50390401it's only hot if she has a daughter and you make both of them pregnant
>>50390401>>50390412disgusting
>>50388299Hoshiori giving eyes to the main character for the H-scene
>>50388299I like Dies Irae aesthetics Coincidentally the only thing I like about it
Any recommendations for good kitsune games? Where you either play as a fox girl or the main heroine is a fox girl?
>>50390966https://vndb.org/v24790
man i feel like ive tried to give ayakashibito a fair shake but its boring the shit out of me, i'm 3 routes in and whilst there are a few cool characters and moments i just dont want to read on and i'm not really enjoying itmaybe i should have read this sooner
>>50391395maybe you should've checked it's rating on vndb
>>50391400yeah it has a good rating
>>50388299In 極限脱出 9時間9人9の扉 figuring out what the setting is is part of the mystery, and the eventual answer you discover is very creative.Expanding out to RPG Maker games, 大海原と大海原 is mostly set under the ocean, which is very fun and added a lot to the game IMO.
>>50390966A little over a week ago the genderswap card game RPG eroge I praised a few threads back got a big update that's focused entirely around turning the heroes/victims into fox girls.It's freeware if you're interested.>https://oskn-fest.booth.pm/items/6822259
Did anons like Amakano 2's setting or 3's setting more?
>>50391665Aren't both just random inaka town?
>>50391670I think 3 is a dormitory.
>>50391670No. Amakano 1 is basically onsen town in the snowy mountains while Amakano 2 is in a bigger city not far from Amakano 1 town (I haven't read 2+ but via subtext and hints it is implied that Yuuhi came from Amakano 1 town). Haven't read 3 yet but based on screenshots and the overall summer theme its basically on a seaside town.
so what version of Dies irae do I read? do I just grab e ~Acta est Fabula~ HD -Animation Anniversary- (DVD) as its the newest with H scene's?
>>50391845The answer is read both Act est Fabula and Amantes amentes. Read a route in Act est Fabula. Then switch to Amantes amentes and ctrl through it. Then read the extra story that unlocks. Then go back to Act est Fabula and repeat. Amantes amentes also has an additional ending for Rea which is the grand finale of everything so you read that last.
What are anons' favorite tracks from Dies Irae or Senshinkan?
>>50391882Holocaust because youtube needs to remind me about the shoah anytime I look it up.
>>50391456no it's not good it's mid. aka 50% if 100% is peak and 0% is dogshit. if you read more than 10 vns it's objectively a waste of time and not worth reading
>>50391882They both have plenty of great trackshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Qj-ybSpMYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evA2XV6iC7Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDQku_JLTeQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3MWUZpshI0
>>50391902Cancer born in the 2010s shouldn't be posting here.
>>503916652 is better personally, the autumn colors ended up being more beautiful than the summer ones from 3
>>50391879Is there an image on the order for this. If I just want to start it for a day to see if I like it, safe to go with Acta Est Fabula?
>>50391985Just read Amantes. Ctrl through Fabula if you want to read the h-scenes. There's extra scenes that aren't just the side stories in Amantes.
Is there tragic stuff in Dies Irae or Senshinkan? Like a beautiful tragedy or something? I like that a lot
>>50392006Amantes has some light censorship. One fairly notable character detail (although it's probably common knowledge) is also omitted.
>>50392012Tragedy in terms of major characters suffering? Yeah absolutely, loads of it. Beautiful tragedy is harder to say, but there's some things I think would count.
>>503916651 > 2 > 3 setting mainly because I prefer fuyuge over natsuge
>>50392190>fuyuge over natsugeWhy would anyone prefer natsuge over fuyuge?
>>50388501Thanks!>The chink site?
>>50391974i'm older than you retard
>>50392320He probably means zi0 dot cc
>>50392929Thank you very much!
>>50392225I much prefer natsuge because it is the prime 青春 setting and easy excuse to have the heroines in their swimsuits.
>>50391670I liked Amakano 3 more since it felt like the town itself is a much more prominent part of the story, making it specifically a seaside inaka onsen town adds fun flavor and there's all these minor plot threads about promoting local tourism and the like. I couldn't tell you anything about 2's town except for winter.

https://koihime-taisen.games.dmm.com/DMM Games so it's a gacha, right? I swear they already had one though.
>>50394031Their other one was some spinoff, this looks like it's combining all of their main VNs into one gacha. Guess they won't be making a new VN then.
