Are there any visual novels out there with a protagonist most /jp/ers could identify with and also has a realistic and depressing storyline?

Never understood the need for some people to "identify" with the protagonist of a story.

Well, without the part about [spoilers]energy swords out of thin air[/spoiler], but the the 'crawling out on a ledge to save your waifu' aspect.

I like to see how people that remind me of myself react in various situations.

Why would you play your own life in VN-form?

So I can replay the good times any time and pretend the shitty parts never existed.

I believe this game wraps up our own lives just nicely.

Hmmm, perhaps Pygmalion. The protagonist is a somewhat shut-in artist who works his craft, one day he meets a girl, she manages to get him to open up and they fall in love.

Then she dies, he goes fucking insane and locks himself up in his workshop spending his time making a life-sized doll in the image of his dead-fiancée and trying to talk to her.

Pretty /jp/ if you ask me.

The game starts with him making a deal with a devil where the devil will resurrect her and in return he has to sacrifice his friends and family.

Wasn't that story a story in Ever17 told by You?
Also, Chaos;Head. The character is awkward, lives in a shipping container, skips school as much as possible and avoids contact with everyone.

You mean the classical Pygmalion? The one that has inspired countless works?

>> No.4890440

>>4890398
Yes, Ever17 invented the story of Pygmalion and Pygmalion the VN ripped the idea off.
