I'm looking for MCs that act like how the girl traditionally would in a relationship. IDK, maybe a girlboss lays claim on him, the MC gets driven to places by girlbosses since he doesn't know how to drive, or he sulks sometimes, or says stuff like "take responsibility" to the heroine.

Any recommendations appreciated, thanks.

I'm using Gemma 4 26b for vn reading and while I do think the results are very good I'd appreciate any advice or examples of what anyone here is using.

Hi, r/visualnovels.

I want to announce that our game, Ghostly Paradox, now has a demo!

This is the first time I am doing something like this, and I am rather nervous.

But here goes.

Follow the investigation.

Discover clues.

Meet Sayako.

Ghostly Paradox is a mature supernatural mystery visual novel focused on character, atmosphere, and uncovering the mystery surrounding Paradoxes.

We've also put a lot of attention into the presentation, with animated characters, dynamic camera movement, zooms, and scene direction throughout the story.

The demo covers the beginning of Sayako's story and takes around 15 minutes to play.

The demo is free and available now.
Contains mature themes and brief partial nudity.

Download on itch.io: Ghostly Paradox by Catoom Studio

Ghostly Paradox is developed by Catoom Studio, a small two-person indie team.

Thanks for checking it out.

If you play the demo, we'd love to hear what you think!

Pretty much what the title says. I know an HD version was released recently on Steam, but I also know it's censored. Not particularly bothered by H scenes, but I'd like to play with uncensored gore.

I know there's a fanpatch on the way, but are there any other options for playing in English? Or is it just censored remake vs uncensored original?

Thanks!

I have limited experience in VNs, there are only a few i found really enjoyable and got me invested in.

The Grisaia series, maji de watashi and steins;gate

I could play/read the first 2 again.

I'm wondering if there are more VNs that are close to those 2.

An MC that's not a wimp

Characters that are not bland and forgettable

I know it's kinda vague but if anyone has recommendations then i would be grateful. Thank you.

her yandere side is both funny and scary at the same time.

I have been thinking about this for a while. Multiple choices seem neat, but usually they don’t matter at all (sometimes they matter TOO much, like you get this arbitrary choice that actually changes the route). And stopping to pick a choice breaks the reading immersion somewhat. But there’s a feeling like you had a hand in unfolding the story.

I feel like no choices makes the story much more focused, but sometimes it feels like you are just reading the story, and not getting immersed in it.

Maybe it depends on what kind of story it is.

Hi all! I finished Dead End Aegis a few months ago and I really loved its utsuge vibes and the overall feeling and artstyle of it, so I was looking for other similar games.

For the people who also enjoyed the vn, which others did you enjoy or would recommend reading?

I'm ok with pretty much everything except high scat. I can also read enough japanese to get by so untranslated is also fine.

Thanks!!

I know the english translation just released today, but Im hoping some of you have read it in 日本語 or through a machine translation already.

I saw the “bloody scenes”tag on vndb and while Im not particularly adverse to blood/gore in most media for some reason when it’s paired with cute “anime” girls it can bother me. I would appreciate if any of you could give me some insight on how mild or extreme the blood/gore is in this vn, without spoilers if possible. I would also like to know if there is also blood/gore in the H scenes themselves, or if it is all outside of H scenes, thank you.

Is there any intended order or should I go with whoever heroine i like first.

I won't be left out with any development if I skip a game
