Title: Visual novels, or "Don't let anyone know I played these"
Post by: idolminds on Wednesday, January 04, 2012, 11:22:29 PM

First we have Hatoful Boyfriend, a visual novel where you go to a school for pigeons and date them. I'm not making this up. You can get it and its translation here (http://sce.inkwash.net/main/) if you want to play it yourself. Otherwise just read this thread (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=67529) for entertainment.

Secondly, the full version of Katawa Shoujo (http://katawashoujo.blogspot.com/2012/01/katawa-shoujo-released.html) has been released after 5 years of development. This is the game started by 4chan members to make a dating game staring disabled girls. The punchline? Its actually not bad.

If you've never played a VN before: you click a lot, you read a lot, and at certain points you will get to make a choice that will effect the story in some way, then you read some more. Its like a choose your own adventure book with fewer "Goto Pages" and more music and art.

Hahaha that god damn pigeon one is so great!  The only visual novel I have ever played is Disgaea Infinite which was awesome.
