My favorite games are Omori, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds. I cried for hours at the end of those games, and I think the common point in them is high-quality emotional writing and stellar OST (music really affect me) and my attachment to the characters.
I also found that my taste in movies was similar (Hana-bi by Takeshi Kitano is my favorite movie)
I’ve been trying to find something similar, so has anybody any recommendation?
I’d like to add that I basically hated Nier Automata (way too pretentious imo) and Before your Eyes (I wasn’t a fan of the game concept, and found the story pretty weak), and really loved the horror aspects of Omori.
I also heard about To the moon, but games talking about disease are hard for me to enjoy
Kattawa Shoujo.
Drops mic
If you’re new to it, maybe check out Katawa Shoujo: Re-Engineered. Same story but ported to be more modern under-the-hood. Apparently there’s even a web version thanks to Wasm!
How modern does the code for a visual novel need to be?
For a better Linux experience for example (Wayland). Also it apparently has some added accessibility improvements too
Ahhh I see. I thought it was cross platform a decade ago when I tried it, but memory doesn’t serve so specifically.
