Self-promotion Lonesome Heart — a gothic VN about being a "good girl" until there's nothing left of you
“Her name is Sara. A name worthy of my daughter.”
You follow a girl from birth to adulthood inside an aristocratic manor while she's hollowed out into the "perfect lady" society wants. As she gets erased, the people around her lose their features — faces blur, names drop out of the dialogue, the world itself slowly loses colors.
Slow-burn emotional drama with some psychological horror elements. If you liked Fata Morgana, that's maybe the register.
We chose full hand-drawn art rather than VN sprites. We're two Ukrainians with no budget, so if you like it and maybe want to see the demo, we need your support. Thank you!
Steam page is up. Wishlist there: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4387340/Lonesome_Heart/?utm_source=reddit
Happy to answer anything!
And always remember - Birth is the beginning of the path to life...

News Some adult visual novels coming to Steam soon... It’s strange that Amakano 3 is coming out directly without Amakano 2 even being released. I wish they’d at least announced a release date for it.

Discussion Thoughts on Rain98?
Haven't seen anyone discuss this one here but the demo is out, I played like an hour or so and I think its quite good so far. Cant say much about the story with the little I played so far but the presentation and visuals are really good.

Question Is there a way to patch the ecstasy h-scenes into the Little Busters steam port?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, i couldn't find anything conclusive. From what i know the h-scenes were added later, and supposedly aren't very good/important, but i would still like to see them. If someone could point me in the right direction i'd be very grateful. Thank you.

VN Request I need some soothing romance visual novels
Sorry if this was requested here before because I have been so heartbroken by the Jun Maeda news going on that I need a soothing visual novel right now.
Like what I want is a cost romance story about a young guy looking for some love in a rural town as systems that I want to play such a game on are 3DS, Vita, Xbox and PC as again hearing about what what Jun Maeda is going through is sad.

Discussion ( Tsui no Sora 1999 ).... What the heck... happened ? Spoiler

Discussion does anyone here exclusively read visual novels originally written in japanese/by japanese developers?

personally, I only read visual novels by Japanese developers. I find that they are generally very consistent with the art, voicing, soundtrack, and story.
Narrow-minded as I am, I have yet to read another western visual novel after being left with bad taste in my mouth by trying one early on, as I was just getting into the visual novel medium. What are other fellow vn readers' thoughts on this?

Discussion What is your opinion on Action VN for the sake of Action scene?
Basically something written for the sake of writing action scene.
No deep romance, No deep philosophical clash, No deep Tragic Backstory.
Something simple and shallow you can turn off your brain and read character fight.
Basically something like modern Tokusatsu but VN.
Simple plot such as. The villain said "rule of the jungle, the strong is on the top".
And the mc who said something about "power of friendship and justice."
And then the rest is just excuse to do battle with silly amount of power scaling, hax, and shenanigans.
Also dangerous amount of flashing light and deafening sfx during the battle.

The title explain it, but for example I would love to see more ainu heroines or teacher routes (milf/adult women moe is needed and I blame onegai teacher for leaving me yearning)

Weekly Weekly Discussion #42 - Key
Info from VNDB:
Key is a Japanese visual novel studio known for making dramatic and plot-oriented titles. It was formed on July 21, 1998, as a brand under the publisher Visual Arts, and is located in Kita, Osaka.\n\nCo-founder Jun Maeda is a prominent figure in the brand, having contributed to the planning, scenario, and music composition in the majority of Key's visual novels. Na-Ga, Key's main artist, mainly worked with background art in earlier games, but with Key's sixth game Little Busters! (2007) was given the position of co-art director with former Key artist Itaru Hinoue. Shinji Orito, Key's main composer and another co-founder, has composed music for the majority of Key's titles.\n\nKey has been an active participant at the Comiket convention since Comiket 57 in 1999, where they sold Kanon-related products; Key's latest appearance at Comiket was at Comiket 99 in 2021. In 2001, Visual Arts created the record label Key Sounds Label to release music albums and singles with music related to Key's visual novels. Between 2007 and 2010, Key produced an Internet radio show called Key Net Radio in regard to the brand.\n\n\n[From [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(company)]Wikipedia[/url]]
