    Weekly: Visual Novel Recommendation Request Thread

    Please keep all "recommendation requests" to this topic.

    Example of a plausible request: "I'm looking for a Visual Novel with a Harry Potter Theme"

    Example of recommendations for such a request: "Magic Diary Horse Hall" or "Wizardess Heart+"

    Example 2 of a request: "I'm looking for a Visual Novel similar to Clannad"

    Example 2 of a possible recommendation: "Check out the other games by Key such as Kanon, Air, Little Busters, and Rewrite. I also think you may like Da Capo because it has a highschool setting and series of tragic events and mysteries led by a light hearted Slice of Life build up."

    Welcome! New Tribe for Visual Novels Created 1/26/17

    Hi! Thanks for Checking Out My Tribe!! Let me introduce myself to you; I'm a 35 year old geeky gamer girl. My first visual novel was Tsukihime. My favorite visual novel is Ever17. The visual novel that I'm playing right now or most recently played is Kana Little Sister.

    Please familiarize yourself with the rules below, which are also visible to the side from every page within the tribe.

    Spoilers Must Be Marked by Using Snapzu Spoiler Code:

    [Spoiler Text.](#spoiler)
    

    Also NSFW discussions or images must be correctly labeled in the titles.

    Games of any date, in any language, for any console, mobile, or PC device, from any country, with or without other gameplay elements besides the text are welcome as long as they fall under at least one of the following criteria:

    Visual Novel: These games play like a choose your own adventure book. At different parts, the player is asked to make a choice, which will alter the story. Often these games have multiple endings, and to reach the "true end" you must play all of the other routes first.

    Kinetic Novel: Like a visual novel except the player is not asked to make any choices and only presented a single linear story with a single route and single end

    Dating Sim: May have some aspects of a visual novel, combined often with "Stats" that effect which guy/girl you end up with in the game, such as Tokimeki Memorial

    "Stat Raising Sim": Similar gameplay to a Dating Sim, but less emphasis on romance, and instead generally focused on slice of life -- such as Princess Maker

    Otome Game: Following at least 1 or more of the above criteria PLUS with the main protagonist as a female character

    --------------------------

    Examples of Games that Don't Belong Here:

    RPG - even though it's text heavy and often has multiple endings, the gameplay elements are too different to be considered a Visual Novel. Exception, there are RPGs that are also visual novels, such as Aselia the Eternal, Kamidori Alchemist Meister, and Piece of Wonder. The gameplay in these examples is largely that of a visual novel, with some RPG combat.

    Adventure Games (like the old Sierra Games) - once again, although text heavy, the gameplay is too different

    Obviously other types of videogames: Shooters, Esports, MMO's, etc.

    --------------------------------

    Grey Area - May or May not Belong Here:

    Games where you "hear" or "watch" the story as opposed to "reading" it -- For Example, Telltale Games, School Days HQ, Life is Strange, D4 Dark Dreams Don't Die, etc. These will be decided on case by case basis.- These games often have "QTE" "Quick Time Events" where you may be asked to press a button, or series of buttons, but otherwise do not deviate from standard visual novel gameplay. The narrative is just simply presented by a voice actor as opposed to the player reading it. They may be linear with a single ending, or involve choice and consequence and multiple endings.

    Hello from a Geeky Gamer Girl who just got her Invite to Snapzu

    Hello! I first learned about Snapzu when one of the creators contacted me on Reddit last week about their new blogenhancement platform, and from reading over their landing page that led me here to Snapzu. :)

    I'm a 35 year old geeky gamer girl who loves anime and anything kawaii cute. I work as a web developer and graphic artist and live in Pennsylvania (about an hour and a half outside of Pittsburgh).

    I enjoy console and PC gaming equally well. I mostly enjoy RPGs, especially JRPGs (though I do play western RPGs or other gaming genres too). Also really big into Visual Novels, or "Dressup/Gacha" style mobile games (like Lineplay and CocoPPaplay). Strategy and Simulation games are also another genre that I enjoy. I really like when a JRPG blends all of these things together, such as a JRPG with City Building, Dating Sim, Branching Plot, and cosmetic/dressup items.

    I watch mostly shoujo and slice of life type anime, though there are exceptions. I like cosplay and recently have been getting back into that hobby. I plan to attend some of the conventions around here, such as Tekko this year and hopefully Colossalcon this spring.

    I also like Korean Dramas (Kdramas) and Kpop Music.

    I collect anime figures, asian balljointed dolls, Dollfie Dreams, Pullips, Pure Neemo, and Obitsu dolls.

    Occasionally read manga, but my attention span is short, and "reading's hard" lol j/k, just spend more time playing games or watching anime than reading these days. :)

    Oh and I love cats, and have 2 of them myself ^^ I like dogs (and also have 2 of those). And I love other animals like rabbits, chinchillas, guineapigs, jerboas, ferrets, hamsters, etc. Which I currently do not own, but have owned some of those species throughout the years in the past. My latest obsession are jerboas which I just discovered like a week ago; because they look like Hanpan from Wild Arms 1 on Playstation 1. So now I want one lol. Cats are greater than all though, because of purrs and headbonks :). Sleepy kitty laying on you all day is best thing in the world :).

    I think that covers all the important things. -- Nice to meet you!! :)
