We just need Hotel Dusk to make a comeback lol.It’s just so cool to see this pseudo renaissance of sorts for these classic DS era games. Uchikoshi’s got Somnium Files, Kodaka has Rain Code, Professor Layton is back, Capcom is remastering their stuff for modern platforms, Famicom Detective Club made a comeback, and we’re even getting some cool new stuff like Paranormasight. Great time to be a fan after the slump we got in the second half of the 2010s.
Yeah it is a bit slow at the beginning. I think that's is one if not the main reason a lot of people like The Girl who stands Behind more (pacing).Just started Famicom Detective Club The Missing Heir recently. The premise was fairly interesting, rich family inheritance drama. But it was going pretty slow. And honestly, I think the cast isn't that great. The 3 Ayashiro siblings are pretty much a copy of each other in terms of character/personality. I guess it kinda makes sense in the context, but there are no standouts. Ayumi also does pretty much nothing so far, despite being a major character.
But now I just started chapter 3 and things are finally taking off. I hope the mystery here pays off, I have lots of questions and many theories in my head. Hope the cast will become more interesting.
Regarding Elite--I haven't played it, but getting the Steam version was the only way I could get Linear Bounded Phenogram in English. Looks like it's on PS4 as well, but don't know how it's sold.I got Steins;Gate 0 from the sale. I decided not to get Elite and instead get the original one, which sadly isn't on Switch.
I've reached chapter 5. It's slowly but gradually getting more interesting. Still nothing too crazy happening right now, but the story is still grabbing me.Yeah it is a bit slow at the beginning.

Fingers cross the series continues.
That's very interesting, never heard of this one. Really disappointing that it's only available as a bundle with Elite, but the user reviews are glowing. I've put it on my wishlist for now, thanks for sharing!Regarding Elite--I haven't played it, but getting the Steam version was the only way I could get Linear Bounded Phenogram in English.

I believe its like the bayo 1&2 situation, where they did the double pack so I guess they cant put them on sale cause they are already discounted? Its weird lol.I've reached chapter 5.

I hope the series continues as well, the presentation at the very least is top notch. I also like how it's completely different from what we're used to from Nintendo.
Sad the games never went on sale, makes me think they're not expecting much.
Yeah, i noticed it. But they could still give the double pack a discount lol.I believe its like the bayo 1&2 situation, where they did the double pack so I guess they cant put them on sale cause they are already discounted? Its weird lol.
Fantastic presentation. MAGES said they were down for another game so that's a plus.
Leans on the horror, not as scary as Death Mark though, but a fantastic game.
Halloween seems a good time for it. I would say its more thriller than horror.I have this game and haven’t had the time to get to it yet. At this point I’m thinking of making it my Halloween game, maybe trade time with Mario Wonder if I start to get too creeped out.
Yeah, its difficult to know what a good performance for this type of game to be. Last know physicals sales in Japan were around 21k (combine) add 25-35% digital (based on nintendo games) plus rough charting on other eshops, optimistically 40-50k? Some adventure/vn games barely make it to 15k (AI for example) so who knows.In the end, I think this is a series that's worth continuing. I don't think it sold very well, but I hope Nintendo will keep it alive. It's very different from anything Nintendo does. I hope Sakamoto pushes for it.
Yeah, i think in the end it's all about Nintendo's expectations for its performance. I'm very happy they made this anyway.Yeah, its difficult to know what a good performance for this type of game to be.

I guess we now have the intro video to the game
For non-twitter users. Plus the website.
I like the vibe, it reminds me of Bustafellows.

I do not like horror/occult stuff at all. So what I did for this one (and Death Mark) was played it between 8 am and 12 pm. Nothing more nothing less, usually like a 45-75 minutes session. It took me a while to finish but I could sleep at night lol.
After a certain point, I felt like Paranormasight basically became a cop story with a couple of horror elements rather than actual horror. It's not bad, but I was hoping the atmosphere stayed strong all the way through.I have this game and haven’t had the time to get to it yet.

Conveniently, this is a urban psychological thriller/horror VN made by Type-Moon, who also made Fate/stay night and Witch on the Holy Night. Unfortunately, you can't read it yet since it's a 2024 release.I like psychological Thrillers, Horror and plot twists.
I'd love to read Fate stay/night at some point and hope it will eventually come to the Switch.
Out of that list the biggest outlier is digimon survive cause it has combat (its simple though). I loved it, the story gets dark and it encourages multiple playthroughs. Morgana is rather long (I still haven't finished it) but it has great scenes. Outside of those I have not played the others (I do have Witch and Loopers).Now I'm thinking about starting another VN. I have Umineko, Steins;Gate, Witch on the Holy Night, Digimon Survive, Yu-No, Loopers, House in Fata Morgana and Raging Loop on my reading list. Any suggestions? I like psychological Thrillers, Horror and plot twists.

Thank you! Digimon Survive sounds really interestingOut of that list the biggest outlier is digimon survive cause it has combat (its simple though).

Outside of those I have not played the others (I do have Witch and Loopers).
For other recommendations of ones I've played: Paranormasight (thriller/occult) and Spirit Hunter: Death Mark or NG (horror/occult).
I suggest reading Witch before Tsukihime, and it's a fairly short VN. The length is similar to that of an Higurashi/Umineko installment.Would you suggest reading Witch on the Holy Night before or after Tsukihime? Is it a long read?
Oh dang. I've been so busy I forgot its launching Friday. I am debating on getting it now (even if I dont play it day 1) cause there is a discount lol.Anonymous;Code is getting really good reviews! (87 MC so far).

If you like psychological thrillers/horror, from your list I'd recommend Raging Loop first and then Umineko!Now I'm thinking about starting another VN.

I had never heard of this, but I discovered it's a VN by Key and now I'm sold. I've put it on my wishlist, thank you!Wiping ugly tears from my chins to the end credits of Stella of the End.
Dang.
I started the demo way back when it was announced but I haven't gotten back to it. If you do stick with it, feel free to share your thoughts, I really enjoyed the premise but the demo was kinda limited on choices.I finished off Paranormasight for spooky season, and I guess I was feeling the mystery VN still so I just started Process of Elimination. It's... interesting, so far. The premise seems decent, and I just finished the tutorial for the almost tactics-like investigation sections, which seem like they could be fun. So far there haven't really been any choices or decisions to be made, though, so I'm hoping the game lets you go a bit more freely now that the tutorial part is over.

Just Japan for now but cool to see. My only exposure to Muv Luv has been videos and spinoff anime lol
Yeah, there is so much they would need to port to get the full experience. I watched like a movie length youtube video on the series, going over the series and its too much lol.At this point I'm not bothered with waiting for them to release on Switch here. You'll need more than the first game and Alternative to get the full enjoyment imo.
There is still the Day After games, photon flower and photon melon etc.
All of which are on Steam and discounted right now!
I’m up to Chapter 3 now and I have some issues with the game, but it’s gotten better and I’m interested in the story and characters more. What’s interesting is that parts of the game are definitely influenced by Danganronpa like the “summarize the mystery with jazzy music” bits, but overall the games are quite different. Hard to go into too much detail without spoilers though.I started the demo way back when it was announced but I haven't gotten back to it.
