Just a day left, act quick!


I always wanted to play the Michiru mahou shoujou spinoffs, I just never got around to doing so, this was godsent lol. Also, apparently one of these games was made by the author of Spice and Wolf, I never knew I needed this in my life but I sure as hell did.

Never played a VN before so I gotta ask, is any of it worth it?

VNs are a mix between a manga, a book and an anime, there's less visuals than a manga and anime but more text, and there's more visuals than a book but less text, though VNs tend to have a whole lot of content and go for a while, so it's more like a couple books worth of total text, but the pacing of it is less than reading a book and more like reading a voice-acted manga as most of them have voice acting. If you've played a typical Jrpg with talking portraits, this is basically what a VN is too, only without gameplay for the most part and with more dialogue options (though there exist exceptions).


I love them because they go REALLY in-depth so if you want a story that explores all the facets and analyzes everything within it to the finest detail in order to offer a deep experience, they're the best. They also tend to be about topics you don't often tackle outside of them or other niche anime-related stuff.

For example, the one I was mentioning from the creator of Spice and Wolf is a story about space economics after humanity has colonized the moon.

Sunrider seems to have some type of strategy game type gameplay, which makes it interesting. The art is kinda basic/old looking though yeah, but I can look past that if the story is good.
