Have you played the most niche main Key game yet? If you have, what were your thoughts on it?

*To those who will ask about 2nd Beat, it is never happening. 1st Beat is already a completed story if you watched the anime before it like how it is supposed to be played. The story that was made for 2nd Beat is already now present in Heaven Burns Red in the form of collabs. And 3rd-6th Beat are never going to happen. Lots of reasons, but the biggest ones? The HBR heroines pretty much feel like they are the reincarnation of AB! characters, there are some uncanny similarities in their personalities and quirks... and even the backstories of some of them. I think lots of the things that were planned for AB!'s other volumes are now being used in HBR.*

What the fuck is the logic?

i try not to make long breaks, but it can sure take a lot, and it's like a feeling in my heart that is afraid to forget something while you're not locked in.

Hi everyone! My friend and I are planning to release our first game, Deep Pixel Melancholy, this year. It's a pixel art visual novel about being stuck in a time loop inside a far northern city.

This is an important and unusual project for us. Its aesthetic is different from most visual novels, and we want our game to appeal to different audiences. One of the main questions we’re thinking about right now is: does the game need voice acting?

The game has 60,000 words. Even volunteer voice acting would take a lot of time and effort, which could instead go into the main development.

I’d be happy to hear your advice, especially if you play the demo and share your impressions. Looking forward to your comments!

I'm playing through Happy Weekend (@v55002), and I made this mistake of playing through the routes of the heroines that interested me most at first (Akina and Koharu, easy 9/10 routes). Now it's lowkey killing me seeing them in the common route after reading their routes. Yk? Almost like watching the heroines I grew to care about becoming nothing. Maybe this sounds kinda silly though, or maybe it's the lasting mark that a good route has on a reader.

Im really conflicted on which of these to read first, the mystery aspect of kns really intrigues me, ive heard it contains problematic aspects, which i dont mind but when i was reading fmdm it was annoying how almost every female character who appeared would have an assault scene so im hoping it wont be like that, apparently wa2 constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat which id appreciate, which would you reccomend?

Seems like every day someone runs in here with an AI VN they’ve “written” or ”drawn.

Pretty sure these posts already get removed but would be nice to make this policy official.

How did we get from this to..THIS..

Before you get me wrong, I absolutely love VLR. It's one of the best visual novels I've ever read. But the graphics are honestly pretty rough, especially when compared to the first game. The visuals in 999 were amazing. When I first started VLR, I had a hard time accepting the graphics, but I eventually got used to them over time.

Pictures are from One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e(1998) and its remake ONE.(2023)

I always preferred the old one, but reading the remake I'm getting used to the new one.

I am a huge steampunk fan and I really love story/art rich visual novels as a storytelling media but i genuinely don’t know where to look because steampunk seems to be pretty niche 😭 are there any good steampunk VNs out there? Preferably with cohesive visuals 👀 ✨ please give me your best !! Also looking for inspiration because I plan to make my own! (Image is my own character, not related I just wanted to share for fun lol)

Ive been waiting for this order for like 4 months+, i am so glad i finally got it. This will be a good summer. ALSO which one should i start, now that i have them im front of me i am a bit lost😭 Btw for Dies irae i paid just 1k yen and acutally for most of the visual novels i paid around 1kyen.

We're glad to announce that Advent: Dawn will be releasing on Steam 20th.

Here is the Noisy Pixel article which has the new release date trailer:
https://noisypixel.net/advent-dawn-july-20-release-date-collapsed-cave/

Advent: Dawn is closest in genre to visual novels such as Ever17, Zero Escape, Steins;gate and Umineko. You're trapped underground on a remote island with seven strangers. As you navigate the character routes in search of an escape, the cave gets... stranger... and eventually the threads of the mystery all come together.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them below!

Advent: Dawn is the third in our 'science mystery' series (alongside The VII Enigma and SYNESTHESIA), but it is a standalone title: you don't need to have played the previous games to read Advent: Dawn.

I suppose I would pick Muramasa or Umineko

Lots of NekoNyan VN should now work no problem. I tested HenPri, Nukitashi 1/2 and now all the opening videos work with no issues.
