So, it’s a new year (around 13 days ago), where humans celebrate one rotation around the sun. So, I want this year to be a bit different (hopefully). This year I want to get into Visual Novels.
(offtopic): So, most of the time, from a young age, I have mainly played adventure, action, simulation and creative games with a heavy emphasis on story games. I barely play multiplayer, and even if I do I play with friends. So, a few years ago I decided I wanted to diversify the genres of games I play. It was mainly because I saw everyone enjoying rpgs with beautiful graphics (mainly octopath traveler), yet I couldn’t play them because I didn’t like turn based rpgs (however, I play Pokemon). So, I finally decided to force myself to play them, hunted for some nicer rpgs like ‘Mario & Lugi’ series, and a few jrpgs that seemed fine, mainly trying them out on my psp.
Then I stumbled upon ‘Sakura Taisen’ and learnt about tactical rpgs and found out how fun they are, and I recently started trying a few of them out.
I had also tried getting into rhythm games and succeeded with ‘Project Diva’ and ‘A Dance of Fire and Ice’.
Anyways, getting back on topic, recently I decided to get into visual novels due to them having beautiful visuals and also scratching my itch of games with anime graphics (while not being a free to play gacha). I did play a visual novel before, ‘Sakura Taisen GB’, which was more of a dating sim and I quite liked it (+ I finished it) and I did start ‘Sakura Taisen’ for the Sega Saturn.
So, now I am hoping this year I will be able to play more VNs as I haven’t been as successful with rpgs. To start the year of I bought ‘ATRI - My Dear Moments’ on JAST USA, I bought it on JAST instead of Steam to make sure it is drm free and it was cheaper. Hopefully by the end of the year I should have at least 1 play through. I have also thought of maybe playing some eroge games, been scrolling Steam and JAST to see if something really draws me.
That’s it for now, hopefully you might see a post from me on here or on mastodon about me finishing the game this year, lets see.
