I think the original Higurashi is /vr/ now?

>>7038335
Already know about it, sadly I got spoiled :(

what are the titles in your image, OP?

>>7038376
Remember11 on the left and Kamaitachi no Yoru on the right
There are English patches for the PC and PSP releases of R11 and there is an official remake of KNY called "Banshee's Last Cry" (for iOS only sadly)

>>7038213
Just check out Kotaro's other stuff.

Thank you for the recommendations senpai. Are there differences between the two versions?

>>7038213
Watched two playthroughs of Otogirisou recently which covered different story branches.
It's tragic the only way I can experience this game in English is through shitty YouTube narration playthroughs.

>>7038490
The PSP version is actually the recommended one because it has an actual ending, while the PC version just cuts off with no closure.

You'll have to deal with a visual downgrade though.

>>7038385
that is some sick boxart on the right. does the snes version not have character portraits or anything? crazy

>>7038213
if you want mystery the eve burst error series is good.

>>7038607
the psp version doesnt have a closure though?? the ending is the same for both version unless you are talking about the extra tips. also did you play ever17? the pacing isnt as good but the payoff for the ending is damn amazing and its definitely worth a playthrough.
kara no shoujo is pretty good murder mystery. some really fucked up shit but i loved it.

Thanks anons

>Otogirisou
Hell yeah. I only know about the ending where
the mansion gets burned down and they escape though. What happens in the other one?

>>7038613
There are, and they are very iconic and sick too. See pic related.

>>7039539
Mansion burns down in both of them
One has the girl's twin sister try to kill her to be with their "brother"
The other one is more supernatural, focuses more on the history of the house/curse and how it affected the mother.

Very few retro visual novels have been translated, much less sound novels like Kamaitachi no Yoru. There are lots of good ones on the PS1, but Japan-only.

I think some of the Tantei Jinguuji Saburo detective VNs were localized as Jake Hunter? Not sure though

>>7038213
The Silver Case
Famicom Detective Club 2 for super famicom

>>7040391
I have already played The Silver Case, it is amazing, will look the other game up, thanks

>>7040198
Thanks anon

>>7038360
Read it anyway.

>>7040483
Alright.

>>7038335
umineko is too because episode 1 was released before the cutoff date

>>7038624
Kara no Shoujo rules, great gore and great freshly bombed Japan setting. Not a period that's touched on enough in the genre.

>>7038213
Divi-dead is interesting, however if you don't know Japanese, you'll have to deal with an absurdly bad English translation

This was the last one i played. I loved it, there is no true end so any girl you like is canon

>>7041181

the bad ends were really great because they were genuinely pretty scary and creepy. it felt pretty realistic compared to something like higurashi/umineko. i always found the deaths in those games hilarious because of all the exaggeration but never felt that way about kara no shoujo.
>>7041181
old key games are super comfy even with all the dramas. my favorite will always be pic related.

if you used anything besides the original japanese then you didn't truly play any of these games, just a localizer's fanfic

> recommending Eve over Yu-No
just a little weird it gets mentioned first

Very recommended if you like Evangelion and haven't spoiled yourself the plot.
High quality values with art and voice acting (same as TV series). Not too complex and only has 3 endings but it's worth it. Play Mana's game, dammnit!

>>7042245
the art is really good and it's well produced
you can tell the team in charge of the show actually worked on the thing, but there's nothing going on with the story
really absolutely nothing
even as an eva fan it seemed like a waste of time, it comes off as a scrapped filler episode

>>7042248
This.

what's the name of that game where fans disavowed the company and send them back their cds broken in half?

was it an elf game? or key? i can't remember

>>7043317
it was an elf game, kakyusei 2. pretty much bankrupt the company because of an inside work by an employee to ruin it or they say lol.
key wouldnt write a cuck story. they focus more on melodrama for all their games for better or worse.

>>7043910
thanks my man that's it

What's the story?

>>7044212

>>7038213
If you want a mystery visual novel you absolutely need to play the Higurashi series.

I believe the right is called a "Sound novel". Unfortunately, most visual/sound novels aren't translated and there's little interest. They're text heavy and are story driven.

>>7044235
I mean, just because people don't want to read cuck shit doesn't mean the girls have to be "pure virgins", how the fuck did they reach that conclusion

>>7044279
>cuck
Also from what I infer it's the girl's boyfriend's who's getting cucked.
Still, interesting story. What does "tama" mean? Pure?

>>7044279
probably because the other games in the dokyusei series didnt have anything like kakyusei heroine. people just wanted some more comfy dokyusei continuation but were let down.
>>7044368
not really. the boyfriend who is a doctor dumps the girl iirc. then the girl comes to you for some depressing cry sex with you while telling you how much she loved her doctor boyfriend. it pretty much makes the mc or the reader feel like total shit and i think thats why nips were mad.
i have no idea what the tama in her name means because its in hiragana. it can mean tama like the jewel but its not in kanji so i dont know.

Is there anything similar to this masterpiece that I might enjoy? Really looking for similarities in story and a good mix of VN/gameplay

>>7044368
Maybe it comes from tamago, which means egg

>>7044368
Tama is ball, or balls as in yours or mine.
