The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!
Let’s discuss the Visual Novel genre of videogames. What are your favorites? What aspects do you like about it? What doesn’t work for you? Feel free to share any thoughts that come up, or react to other peoples comments. Let’s get the conversation going!
If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).
I wanted to get into the Sci;Adv after playing all Steins;Gates, but on PSVita most are available, but only in Japanese. I did some research on what to play where, but I might know Japanese before I have played those games
I think the official translations have pretty much only targeted PC/PS4/XBox. Pretty sure there are also no fan ports on the Vita.
For the best experience, playing on PC via Steam is the ideal setup - that way you can also install fan patches by Comittee of Zero, because the official translations have some continuity issues (along with untranslated backgrounds, typos etc.)
There are some patches, at least for S;G Elite and the spinoffs, work was being done on Robotics Notes, which apparently was completed 2 years ago. So I can play that atleast!
But I don’t really like playing visual novels on my pc, I like to play them in bed before I go to sleep
Edit: Apparently Chaos;Child also got translated and ported to vita. Only Chaos;Head hasn’t been translated and that is apparently really difficult to do as well.
After that, only R;N DaSH and Anonymous;Code remain, but they haven’t been released on vita at all

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
