Weekly: What Visual Novels Are You Currently Playing?

I'm still working my way through the lasted JAST bundle from Groupees. This bundle included Kana Little Sister, Heart de Roommate, Yumina the Ethereal, Snow Drop, and several other JASTUSA titles. -- I also picked up Stein's Gate 0 and began playing that off and on around winter break. - I have so many games, that I gamehop all the time and takes me ages to actually finish anything haha.

So what are you playing this week?

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, the gameplay elements are too different to be considered a Visual Novel

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, D4 Dark Dreams Don't Die, etc. These will be decided on case by case basis.
