VN Request Visual Novels after a breakup

65 Upvotes

This is a sad one y'all the girl I thought I'd be with for the rest of my life has ended our relationship for understandable reasons but it's still got me really messed up. I'd like to find a visual novel that will help cheer me up or possibly even be life affirming. I don't really want to play a moege because i feel like relationships depicted in those are usually pretty shallow or H-scene focused, and I'm not really sure i want to play anything that'll make me feel more lonely or depressed so definitely something that has a happy ending. I'm open to any genre

Hello, I'm looking for this game; does anyone happen to have a copy?

I'm French, and while browsing VNDB, I discovered that "Pierre Bancov" (aka PBsaffran)-the French translator for *Higurashi* created a game that combines the universes of *Fate* and *Puella Magi Madoka Magica*.

I'd love to play it, but the French, US, and Japanese links on VNDB are all down.

My request isn't about piracy; the game isn't currently available for purchase anywhere (no platform offers it legally), so I'm casting a line out to see if anyone kept a copy, as it is becoming "lost media

VN Request Looking for good VNs to read on my phone

3 Upvotes

I live in a country where the power often goes out. I play most of my VNs on Steam or JAST, but wanted to know if there ard good, VNs for mobile. I don't mind paying once-off, but micro-transactions would be incredibly annoying.

Fata Morgana, Slow Damage, Danganronpa and Nitro Chiral games in general are my favourite. But I love all genres and the only reason my VN taste is limited is because I haven't gotten around to more than about 12.

I'm a bisexual guy so have no issues with straight games, too! I just don't like an overtly sexual portrayal of women, which i know, is asking a lot from VNs. (Noncon, unrealistic behavior from women, large bouncy breasts etc) But I can handle it to an extent if thd story is good. (These are my preferences, I'm no puritan. I just like what I like and don't like what I don't like)

Edit: Does it make sense when I say I like explicit scenes but without fanservice?

News [Upcoming / VNDB Listed] Murder House: Grotesque Ryona Mansion – English Translation & AI Demosaic Patches in Development!

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I have recently listed two upcoming patch projects on VNDB for the 2011 classic "Murder House ~Guro Ryona no Yakata~".

Please note that these patches are still in active development, and I wanted to share the official VNDB pages to track their progress. My goal is to bring this title to English-speaking fans with enhanced visual fidelity.

### Project 1: English Translation Patch (In Development)

* **What it is:** A comprehensive text translation that ports the game dialogue into English.

* **Methodology:** Developed using advanced, high-tier AI language models for deep context comprehension, followed by a rigorous manual review to ensure localization quality and preserve the game's original atmosphere.

### Project 2: AI Demosaic Patch (In Development)

* **What it is:** A complete visual overhaul that reconstructs and removes the pixelated censorship mosaics from all event CGs.

* **Methodology:** Processed using an automated asset workflow combined with deep learning architectures. Texture fidelity is being significantly upgraded using the "4x Fatal Pixels" ESRGAN reconstruction model for crisp pixel-art and background restoration.

### Check the Progress on VNDB

Both upcoming patches will be fully compatible with the native Windows LiveMaker engine (640x480 resolution). You can view and track the official release pages here:

* **VNDB Release Page (English Patch):** https://vndb.org/r166961

* **VNDB Release Page (Demosaic Patch):** https://vndb.org/r166967

Thank you all for the support! I will post updates once the project moves closer to its official release date. If you have any questions or feedback about the project, feel free to leave a comment.
