If you guys are playing eroge games alike, when the game shows h-scenes (with and without sex) and adjacent, do you guys do the deed even if you're unprepared/jumpscared, or just read through the scenes calmly? Or another option where you just press Ctrl to skip the scenes so you can still preserve the 'reading' state and not be distracted by the lewd scenes and see your favourite h scenes from extra and read it from cg mode option?

I literally looked everywhere and couldn’t find it at all. It is the hero route as a manga. It possible hadn’t been scanned at all

I'm looking for visual novels with a focus on boys instead of girls. I know otome exists for that but 99% of the time the love interests are 'nonchalant', dominant and 'cool' , I'd like fellas that are less put together. Ideally they'd look cool or handsome but act cute. I'm not interested in BL,so that's out of the picture. Indie stuff is fine.

Meaning, the cover of the game. I was surfing, VNDB, checking out various the covers of vn I've played. And I was curious about what people here like. Do you have a favorite one? If so which one? Or there are more than one.

The source is Anna Nishikinomiya from Shimoneta. If you know about her, she is probably the best visual representation of the type of heroine this post is all about. I want the extremely preverted, endearing, clingy, thirsty and absolutely obsessed with the mc (preferably expressed through actions such as secretly sniffing the mc's panties, schlonging themselves with the mc's picture or going as far as committing actual grape ) stereotype. She doesn't need to be like this from the start either as I'd also like some build-up. Nevertheless, even if all boxes are not fully checked, I need at least the copulation to be the super lovely-dovey kind where the heroine feels absolute bliss, keeps calling out the mc's name, lips-locking leg-locking the mc intensly, shouting out loud like her life is on the line and top it all of with a magnificient gomu gomu no gatling gun level of pounding domination reversal on the mc.

(no judgement please)

Thanks in advance for those who listened to my outrageous demand.

Unofficial English translation patch of toheart2 DX PLUS
Currently only cover up to the base game with new ps3 heroine
AnotherDays wasn't covered yet
Entire game get re-translated, no full QC yet

Screenshot :

Current release: (v.0.2)

https://github.com/rikimtasu/th2dxp_en/releases

I'm aware that it has one so it could be published on steam, but I heard that some original content is completely gone and not in the restoration patch. Does anyone know why and if I can get it anywhere? I like horror and the game seems interesting.

nostalgia investment (nostalgic for an era i didnt experience since i wasnt brought into VNs 15 years ago yet)
Anyone else prefering old VNs over new ones?

Hey everyone my game: "Tell Me How I Can Hurt You" is availbale on itchio !

Its a small game that cost 1$.

description:

A psychological visual novel about a girl who’s in love with a teddy bear who’s in love with her.  And a secret they both share.

This visual novel is linear, there are no choices to be made, everything has already been decided. Also, the stars are beautiful tonight.

here is the link : https://monstrr777.itch.io/tell-me-how-i-can-hurt-you

KEEP MAKING ART !!!!

I'm looking to read a new VN, I haven't played many before. I played Koikari, Amanatsu Perfect edition, and ToHeart

Out of these Koikari was my favourite, but the other 2 were great too. Amanatsu was super fun and is a close second but Koikari knocked it out of the park for me. While for the other 2, I only did one route each, for Koikari I did 3, because I loved the characters so much.

I'm looking for a VN with a similar level of quality and this one caught my eye. How good or bad is it, for those of you who have played it?

source https://www.reddit.com/r/Tsukihime/comments/1xfivjy/unofficial_pc_port_of_the_tsukihime_remake/

Preferably vn’s that have play throughs on YouTube with no/minimal commentary
