A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

hello! just to spark conversations...does anyone like visual novels?

I'm loving this chill and beautiful 1996 scifi VN called "YU-NO"...amazing music too!

this classic was for PC-98 (a pioneer in many ways, it paved the way for others like Steins;Gate)

with Sega Saturn and Windows releases soon after (and fantranslated in english for PC),

but there is also a 2019 officially translated remake for Steam/PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch

sad that the creator and composer both passed away...they had such a groundbreaking vision...

I end up getting a fair few visual novels on sale; once in a while I take a look at one of the $30/$60 ones and have a hard time justifying the purchase, since I rarely finish them.

It’s just hard for any of them to hook me with a premise anymore. So much of Japanese writing seems to follow a network of dramatized tropes - even though it’s very likely I’m missing some good ones out there.
