wazz_useless123 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I've just finished Saya no uta and i really enjoyed it and have been looking for any other similar VN's. I also enjoy VN's where you can play from the villains perspective to see his/her side of the story too. Open to any suggestions. Also im new to this site.

Vorathiel Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hello. There is different section for recommendation requests on this boards:http://forums.fuwanovel.net/forum/85-recommendations/ But I'm sure that some mod will just move this thread. Answering your question... From translated VNs, the 'ultimate', in my opinion, VN horror story would be Phenomeno. Around hour of reading, but great atmosphere and pretty nice scares here.

Vokoca Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It's probably worth mentioning that Phenomeno is originally a LN series, the VN being more or less promo material for it. Might be worth it looking for the original, although I don't know if they're translated or not. For other VNs... can't really think of any that would be translated right now... you can add Subarashiki Hibi on your backlog for when it eventually gets translated - it's definitely not horror, but it has very effective denpa (narrative from the insane point of view) sections, which is what you're most likely looking for. When it comes to already translated things, you can probably pick up the Corpse Party series for a regular horror story, although you won't really find any villainous protagonists here. If the unusual main character is what you're looking for, you could also try picking up Tsukihime, or Cross Channel. Neither of those are horror stories at all, but the main characters are quite removed from the usual good protagonist trope.

Vorathiel Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Tsukihime is pretty horrorish at times, but, especially in one route, is really 'psychological', so it should b fine for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleshogun Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Higurashi and House in Fata Morgana maybe? Also you could try Cross Channel for physiological and Kikokugai (Pick remake version if you want voice) if you want to see VN from anti villain viewpoint (Also same writer as Saya no Uta). Hope it'll help. PS - Is Maou from G-Senjou really popular for avatar choice here? Last time there's another new user (Dfbreezy) using Maou avatar for a while and also old user (Kingdomcome) using Maou as current avatar here. Just saying.

Silvz Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 You have to read Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni and its "sequel" Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. Also, from the same author, Higanbana, which are 14 small horror stories placed in a Japanese school. You can try Cartagra, Kara no Shojo and Kara no Shojo 2 [it is a series], which are not horror, but there are many different murders, some gore and an incredible detective story. They are just amazing, you won't want to miss it! For the psychological part, I recommend the Infinity series [Never7, Ever17 and Remember11] and also Zero Escape series [all from the same creator]. They both have three games each and the Infinity ones are full VNs while the ZE is a mix of VN and gameplay. They are shocking as hell, if I may add that. I'm gonna put some links here to help you: https://vndb.org/v7576 - Higanbana [they are 2 games, 7 stories in each] https://vndb.org/v24 - Umineko Cartagra - https://vndb.org/v515 Kara no Shojo 1 - https://vndb.org/v810 Never7 - https://vndb.org/v248 as for the ZE series, they're gonna be released on Steam soon!

I have played cross channel and i really enjoyed that, I've played Corpse party and i thought that was amazing too. I've read some reviews for Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni and that is definitetly going to be on my to-read list. Root Double -Before Crime * After Days- is another one that looks interesting so i will probably check that one out too. thanks for all the recommendations. I will be sure to check them all out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
