I'm not really a fan of the genre, but I've made a few exceptions for visual novels with stories or concepts I find interesting. I'd still rather be watching a show or reading a book, though. I personally don't see the appeal in slapping some very shallow interactivity on a bunch of still pictures and then covering them with a novel-length script (weird sex scenes optional). When They Cry and Doki Doki Literature Club are the only ones I think I'll go back to anytime soon. |

They appear to be growing in popularity in the west. just a tiny bit more than previously. It definitely has to be the most obscure genre of video game in the west. When I thought about it more deeply. The genre; it has to be a branch from the family tree of point and click adventure games originally if it was traced back far enough, that's kind of evolved into its own thing be it very japanese centric now. I highly recommend YU-NO and Ever 17. But physical copy of Ever 17 is very rare now. --- End quote --- Not sure if the Telltale games fall into a visual novel genre you're talking about But If those count I 100 percent adore the telltale company and the bodies of work they have developed. I have gotten to the point of buying any game they make :D. All 3 seasons of walking dead were visual masterpieces, the character development and how you relate to the characters and grow to love them is amazing and how they toy with every human emotion as you play from fear to sadness, to romance and they do it effortlessly. The gore, the vision, the story writing. Homerun after homerun imo :). Season 1 and 2 are some of the few games to make me cry and clementine is one of my favorite video game characters of all time, borderlands tell tale was an amazing back story that I simply got sunk into from start to finish. The wolf among us was the best example of your decisions actually deeply affecting the story and can bite you later. It's really an amazing unique genre and I hope to see much more tell tale games on the engine. :) I also played parts of life is strange, batman tell tale and others. Didn't like those as much. |

Telltale certainly does, think of it as an evolution to the Visual Novel genre. |

Not really a fan of the genre but lately I've been playing these both Kojima visual novels simply Policenauts and Snatcher. Really interesting games and I'm loving it. |

I just played one for the first time all the way through over the weekend. Doki Doki Literature club and holy crap was it freaky. but the story line caught me and kept me interested. |
