Funyarinpa Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Some VN's put you in a setting from which you need to escape, with usually fewer than 10 other characters having a place in the VN. They can take the form of "death game", "accident" or "a string of seemingly inexplicable events". I would like to make a list of those VN's. They'll be separated by if they are translated or not. Any info, corrections, or suggestions about these VN's will be greatly appreciated. The VN's marked by a * have different names in their localisations or translations. Those will be covered in the Appendix. Translated 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward* Ever17 -the out of infinity- Remember11 -the age of infinity- Danganronpa* Danganronpa 2* Killer Queen euphoria Soul Link Corpse Party Blood Covered Corpse Party: Book Of Shadows Moon.

Vokoca Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You're missing euphoria. No, really, I'm serious. The sad thing is that it handles the 'death game' and its effects on people way better than, say, Killer Queen/Secret Game does.

SoulJustIn Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I like the idea . I also interesting those vn too. Funyarenpa-san, why don't have copse party series in list? (Corpse Party BloodCovered) . . Moon.? Bakudan★Handan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suikashoujo Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This is one of my favorite types of VNs, so I fully support the creation of this list. That said, I can't think of any more off the top of my head that haven't been mentioned, but I can at least second the addition of euphoria and the Corpse Party games.

Deep Blue Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Swan song, the whole purpose of the novel is to escape from one place to another and survive and you can also die many times (bad endings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbl Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Translated: Soul Link: Trapped in SPACE Cross+Channel: Trapped in a loop Umineko no Naku Koro Ni/Chriu: Private Island murder mystery! Corpse Party: Trapped in hell Nocturnal Illusion: Trapped in retro eroge For untranslated all that comes to mind is Root Double which you already have. There's also a tag for it on VNDB. EDIT: Remembered Critical Point as well. Space station murder mystery!

mbl Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You might want to spoiler-tag that Cross+Channel one. Ok Sorry. Thought I remembered it being defined in the first couple of scenes that was essentially going on. Or at least I could tell that was where things were going.

Funyarinpa Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Aaaand spoiled myself Cross Channel. My fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miulei Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Most summaries of Cross Channel include that spoiler though, and it's revealed fairly early in the game, so it's not that huge of a spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EldritchCherub Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The list is missing a nope-gotta-get-out-of-here rank from 1-10 with each VN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funyarinpa Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I've only read one from that list so I was curious. Which one do you think had the most harrowing escape from that list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosakyun Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Oho. Something to look at on Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Oho. Something to look at on Halloween. On Halloween, the best VN to play is Umineko by far. Especially if it's raining outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Personally I feel like G Senjou no Maou gave me a nope-wtf-get-out-of-here feeling every once in a while since it's a thriller with a lot of twists, but idk if it really goes with what you want to be on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vokoca Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hm, since you included Corpse Party, you might as well include the two sequels too. On Halloween, the best VN to play is Umineko by far.

Chifuyu-chan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just to say it, Funyarenpa's pic have this "get the hell out of here" vibe. Anyways, I think Joker from akabeisoft belongs to this genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vokoca Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 13-nin no Uruwashiki Kedamono I can't help it but ask... isn't this just a nukige in disguise? It looks quite suspicious. Not that it'd be the first one on this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosakyun Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 7/10 photos are not NSFW in vndb. It must be something more tame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
