  1. Never tried proton, but most VN's run fine on wine. They might require japanese locale or some manual configuration, especially for opening videos (usually 32-bit gstreamer bad/ugly plugins is enough)  but many work out of the box. In rare cases you have to install some libraries from winetricks such as xact_jun2010 (Steins;Gate 0) and knowing what to install is not always straightforward if you don't have a hunch for it.

  2. YU-NO works but some WM's / drivers have trouble with fullscreen in older games.. and you have to install fluidsynth to hear midi sound. Opening videos require bunch of different codecs (installing 32-bit version of gstreamer ugly and bad is usually sufficient), some games may need workarounds from winetricks. Very game dependent what is needed.

  3. Kichikuou Rance

    I'm puzzled about the "Skip Text [off]" menu item, does this game have feature to differentiate between unread and read text? So if you enter unread dialogue and press skip, should it continue skipping? Upon entering the map view setting goes to [off] again.

    EDIT: looks like it skips everything. at least the scenes are not that long..

  4. Higher number of cores just means you can run more threads simultaneously. In other words unpacking (winrar etc.), compilers and such benefit but games and especially emulators need single core performance which USED TO be bad with processors like core i7, but these days it's good enough. Also newer generation core i5 is likely more performant than old generation core i7. Visual novels are not very demanding, older PC's can run them just fine.

    I'm looking for something to scare the ever-living crap out of me or at least something that would disturb me greatly. Any recomendations?

    Visual novel as a medium doesn't convey scary moments well, so I have nothing to recommend :/. Except the horribly translated ones, or out of place OELVN's.

  6. You should raise one character to decent stats, maybe to something like 60 (or 90? can't remember) points before the final boss. You unlock new scenes in the choice where protag. plays eroge.  I don't remember how saves work but probably you always start in some time of day in the house, unless you saved inside a castle.

  7. If you liked G-senjou try sharin no kuni. it's from the same scenario writer and is an interesting VN with above average protagonist.

    Muv Luv trilogy, don't skip the first one or quit because of the wimpy protagonist (Extra -> Unlimited -> Alternative).

    Sharin no kuni

    Ayakashibito

    Fate/stay night "trilogy" (FS/N -> unlimited bladeworks -> heaven's feel), protagonist in this one is very annoying but try to bear with it

    Princess Waltz

    Bunny black (good gameplay)

    Umineko & Higurashi for good soundtracks

    Yeah it does. A few times.

     

    I mean there is a threat of what awful is going to happen, but it's not shown. Unless you mean stuff that happens in h-scenes (they are not that graphical either), and not violence. (edit in spoiler)

    Spoiler

    EDIT: I forgot about the the electric chair thing, that's probably the only one
