I noticed that the /VG/ Recommendations chart hasn't been linked, so here it is for future reference.
Seems like some of the tags aren't implemented in this picture. Particularly, Euphoria doesn't have the Sexual Violence tag.
I'd highly recommend looking games up on VNDB first before playing. Not to excuse the chart, its just a general note for anyone reading here.
Yes, seconded. Wish they'd also specify which of these are available on Steam- that'd be valuable information and it might drive someone to try a VN that they perhaps otherwise wouldn't.
You could try Sharnoth. Umineko is also more in line with the stuff you have read (no ero), but It's incredibly divisive on the top of being long as hell.
Sharnoth could definitely get more love, you never see it mentioned in recommendations. :(
I think Ep. 8 is really badly paced on the top of being really a chore go through unless you enjoy the 800 magical fights. Zzzz.
R07's in-game rants about how the readers don't geeeeeet it are also hilarious. Manga is how he should have done it, he actually addressed the core issues people had with Beatrice's character and everyone was cool with the reveals. Pretty good.

Anything's possible if you bug them long enough. Maybe if they could do a print on demand service, since they don't really publish books.

Hey everyone! After playing VA-11 Hall-A and DDLC earlier this year, I'm thinking about trying to get back into the genre a bit.
Here are some VN's and VN-like games I've played (I generally enjoyed titles near the top more than titles near the bottom):
VA-11 Hall-A
Ghost Trick
Katawa Shoujo
Doki Doki Literature Club
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Zero Escape
Ace Attorney 1 and 2
Danganronpa 1
Of the ones I've played, I probably like VA-11 Hall-A the most - its themes about young adulthood resonated strongly with me.
Ghost Trick had fun characters and a really nice overall redemption plot.
Katawa Shoujo had great characters (I liked some characters' arcs way more than other characters').
Hotel Dusk had interesting characters and story
Um, I guess characters are really important for me to like a VN
I liked 999 and Doki Doki not so much because of the character writing, but because of the way they integrated their medium into the plot.
Oh yeah I also played a bunch of Christine Love games - Digital: A Love Story, the one where you're a teacher and spy on your students' texts, Analogue: A Hate Story. Digital is really good, and I also enjoyed Analogue quite a bit.
I've tried to get into Fate Stay Night and Clannad before, but I bounced off super hard.
I've heard a lot of praise for The House in Fata Morgana, and I'm interested. I've asked someone about it on the Falcom discord once already, but what makes it so good? Any other recommendations?

Give the demo a go, mind you the first 2 chapters are the weakest compared to the rest of the game but I still find them good.

Also try.
utawarerumono mask of deception and mask of truth.
Watch season 1 of anime first.
Just finished Utawarerumono Mask of Deception. I have some gripes with the game but I loved it overall. I should receive Mask of Truth next week, can't wait for this, the ending was brutal.
Btw, is there a point to those post-game battles? They're pretty fun but I'm not sure if I want to do them all before playing the sequel.

I swear there's something bugged with alerts from community threads.
Anyways, I finished the Fatamoru manga and the art is fucking amazing.The Kindle version (the app at least, the full volume) has some issues right now though,(edit: supposedly fixed). Kobo version is fine both on ereaders and the app. It's beautiful, guys, I'm not exeggerating.
Kobo has $5 credit for every new registration, so that's a way for you to get the entire volume for 2 bucks if you're hesitant (the VN is still far superior in its presentation in my opinion, but this is as good as a manga could hope to be). (Tangentially, I get $10 credit if you're in the US and I refer you so it would make me very happy if you pm'd me before creating a Kobo account.)
Gracias.
If I may be so brief, it has the singular greatest presentation, soundtrack and characterization I've seen in perhaps any medium (has an incredibly well-executed thematic message to boot). It's the closest VN to perfection, for my money. I have a slightly longer rant about it here
There's a content advisory out there you might want to check, and do check out the previously linked demo if you're hesitant, which is really long for a demo.

Only if you want the Platinum or a way to max some characters for a couple items in Mask of Truth.
Thanks for the responses, everyone! I downloaded the demo for Fata Morgana, and I'll check out some of the other ones y'all recommended.
I've never reported a Kickstarter but I'm really tempted to with this nonexistent Root Double port. I've backed a couple projects that have gone nearly a year without updates, but in most of those cases there's at least some sort of communication elsewhere.
Every time I remember it I just get annoyed. Sekai Project puts out some good stuff but their Kickstarter handling is completely unprofessional.
They've bungled the majority of their Kickstarters when it comes to fulfilling rewards, but not saying anything since a brief March update saying it is in QA is low even for them.
I've back almost all of SP's projects (I do it for the goods) and this is typical. Reporting prob won't do much, and I'm sure people out there have already made tons of reports.
Fucking Sekai kickstarters.
I'm worried for NarKarma...
By the way, the Fata Morgana manga should be fixed on Kindle now (you can get it there, or Kobo, or Comixology, I think). Again, 5 stars, amazing stuff, but play the VN beforehand for the even better art + the music.

The first volume (5 chapters).
As for where exactly in the plot it comes to... (vague Fatamoru spoilers)
It goes through the entirety of the first Door, then goes quite a bit into the second. (The first Door is done in 3 episodes.)
I think there's four volumes in total, but don't quote me on that one.

Thanks a bunch, I don't give a toss about platinums so I don't think I'll spend too much time on this.
If you're at all curious about what the battles involve:
It's a series of battles that eventually get pretty challenging, ending with a sparring match against Munechika and her forces.
Nothing major, just some fun "what if" battles and a few unique enemies.

Don't know. A Requiem For Innocence will probably come out before the rest of the volumes though, seeing as it is 100% translated. The translator and editor for both are the same, so we might see the rest of the volumes come out quicker since Requiem came out now.
Are you a witch cause they just sent an update that was, like, all about the Vita port.
Yeah, wow.
If it's really coming anytime soon I guess I gotta play Chaos;Child soon so I can get to that after.
Talk about The House In Fata Morgana's Vita port, I beg you
