With indies maybe, but AI: The Somnium Files had woke shit and Danganronpa had a terrible fanbase. I doubt that much companies cater to DEI as people like to think, and instead it's the writers just believing the gospel.
Literal game of Mafia/Werewolf (of course it's not randomized like Gnosia). It's overall good, and I don't want to spoil anything by talking about it too much.
It really is refreshing how creatively uncompromised VNs/eroge are compared to any other relatively niche medium. Even bigger and more popular works in the medium such as Subahibi are seemingly completely unrestrained in what they can write about and how far they can go about writing it. It does suck that a lot of it can't be allowed on modern storefronts such as Steam for easy access but as long as Nyaa is around this isn't the end of the world.
Yes. It's basically Danganronpa meets Zero Escape.
It's why I like the medium. VN or small indie ganes are the only places you can see completely unshackled/unhinged stuff since it can perfectly be a 1-3 man operation.
Raincode got better as it went on, but it was much more simplistic then Danganronpa was.
I remember the original Yu-No contained a 25-page faux-scientific paper that looked like a dissertation written in LaTeX to explain the ideas of time travel in the game.
Those mid-90s computer autists who developed games at the time certainly were something else, man
This song is my pitch:
Somnium was disappointing to hear about, I remember looking forward to it a lot. I'm not familiar with the Danganronpa fanbase, I suppose I'm lucky. Are there any others though? I can't really think of any. Maybe Steins;Gate with the pseudo tranny, that part didn't sit well with me.
Steam allows literal porn games, it's crazy to me some of the stuff they disallow.
I said it before ITT, but it's because of two reasons:
I peeked in the Steam board in case I saw anything about downloading a patch or anything of the sort and just saw a lot of whining about "bad ending". Avoiding spoilers, the ride still worth it?
It's from 2013's Unlimited Psychic Squad, episode 5.
Then I guess that means somebody at Valve has a thing for Nazi waifus since there's several of them on there lol. But seriously though, you're probably right.
Those cases are understandable at least.
I wouldn't say it was a bad ending, but it's weaker than the beginning and middle. Even then it's good, it's just certain revelations are controversial, it just depends on how you take it. I would've liked it to be handled a little differently but it's not like objectively bad or anything.
It's not bad in the sense of being a subversion of expectations or having some needlessly dark outcome. More that the explanations of events happening being pretty mid. It's like having a really good mystery novel but the final revelation being that the villain did it with magic, and while it's not that magic wasn't revealed to exist, you really hoped it would be something more grounded.
Thanks for the warnings. I'm still curious enough to get it, but knowing to expect the true to Japan fumbling of the ending is nice to temper expectations.
Have you Muv'd your Luv yet?
I haven't. I've heard good things about it though, so I'll play that. Thanks!
I neglected to mention this back when we were talking about FGO, but... Fuck Fairies. I didn't understand the true racist spirit of the righteous Christian soldier until I met them in Fae Britain. I understand now.
