ABC Challenge (Visual Novel)

Well I’m done. Had to skip a few letters since as it got later on I hadn’t read most of them. I tried going for stories that you either finished the 1st one or games with sequels to help get you to the 100 games. Also tried suggesting smaller games while also putting out longer games for a different variety in length and generally those types ended up my favourites. Unless stated otherwise they are all one’s I’ve read and enjoyed myself to a certain extent

Amnesia Memories: It’s a bit of a longer title so depending on your reading speed it could take around 20 hours but it’s personally one of my favourites.

Book Series - Alice in Wonderland: For myself it wasn’t the best but its short and was interesting to see how the actual story was wrote. According to the reviews it seems to be a good copy if you are looking for that.

Cafe 0: You played the 1st one so why not the sequel since it’s a much better version then the original

Duplicity: I haven’t read the other D stories you have so this is the best I can choose but I still only suggest this for the fact I enjoyed it rather then putting it for the sake of it

East Tower: This should be the last of that creator. I picked this for the fact you want to complete 100 stories and east tower can get rid of 4. They are also short so it shouldn’t be to much to go through as long as you don’t mind reading them.

or

Everlasting summer: This is a weird longish story but its one that keeps you hooked. I suggest this one if not east tower for my next suggestion

Frosty Kiss: This is the sequel to Everlasting Summer. It is also very tiny to make up for everlasting summer being around 15 hours

G-senjou no Maou: I haven’t actually read this but I’ve been planning to since I’ve heard its very good but also long

Hatoful Boyfriend: If there’s not a serious reason you haven’t finished it I suggest reading both if you dropped it since you don’t like it then prepare for my lie

or

How to take off your mask: Yep I lied. It’s not the end of this one creator. I really enjoyed this story and its a much needed improvement for art and story. Plus it has a sequel so 2 for 1 or 3 if you have the newest one.

Idol Michiru: I can only suggest this if you own part 2. Knowing the grisaia series would also help but since it’s a spin off you don’t really need to know about it however having part 2 is needed.

A Kiss for the petals: Haven’t read any of those K’s stories so lets just class this as K since some people ignore A and The in titles. If not this would also make a good A title as well since its short and sweet.

Lucid9: How about some love for a free game. It’s on the longer side but also has an alright story considering other free games I’ve read are pretty much short and terrible

Nekoparas: Just like with the others I mentioned you have 3 of them from what I can see so why not them. They aren’t the shortest but not the longest either. I think they a good read so go for 0 (the shortest) and see if you want to continue

Pyrite Heart: Another shortish story with good story. It is a romance story like pretty much all the others I suggested but there’s not much of it.

Sound of Drop: A longish story with plenty of bad ends and death! Nothing that gory though but still worth the read

The Sword of Asumi: Was looking for a plain t story but you don’t have many and the ones you do I haven’t read however Sword of Asumi is another one of my top favourites that I actually brought it twice.

okay, first of all my friend, I’d like to premise this by saying that a goal of 100 vns in a year might be unfeasible unless you decide to focus on shovelware stuff. WHICH is obv not what I recommend, you will probably end with reading bad quality stuff and not retaining ANYTHING at all - trust me, I’ve been there with both books and vns.
But yeah, just a normal ABC challenge of 24 games is feasible.

do you have a vndb account?? that’s gonna help you immensely thanks to their user ratings and genre tags so you’ll know yourself what you’ll be heading into.

I’m not gonna suggest these titles based on length (sorry, i’m not gonna prioritise on shortness of titles) but on enjoyment/quality/classics. So, yeah, they’re all of various lengths - check vndb for approximate length.

omg i hope tsuper too turns up with her suggestions!

Also, I’m focusing this list exclusively on your steam games. If you want me to include other titles not on steam (that are free), please do tell!

fata morgana best vn

---

Analogue: A Hate Story by Christine Love
B
Cupid by FERVENT (i love this) / alternatives: Clannad (I guess if you want to spend 50+ hours here, dis a classic i have yet to start) or The Confines Of The Crown by Hanako
D
Everlasting Summer: this is pretty popular, i guess you should try it (it’s russian, i’m envious of russian vns fandom as a whole bc of reasons)
F
G-senjou no Maou - The Devil on G-String
Hate Plus (sequel to Analogue: A Hate Story), but also you definitely need to check Hatoful Boyfriend’s true ending. Other alternatives if you like yuri: Highway Blossoms or Heart of the Woods
Ignis Avis Venatio: okay, this isn’t really a recommendation from me, i have no idea how it is, it’s just that I was waiting for this title and then was surprised by the lack of ratings despite its cute art, i’m CURIOUS about how it is ;(
Juniper’s Knot (i love this)
K
A Little Lily Princess by Hanako (based on the book/movie if you know it) or Lynne by ebi-hime if you want something more mature (it’s kinda black swan)
Magical Diary by Hanako
Narcissu 1st & 2nd: you gotta finish this!! At least the first title if you haven’t already
Once on a windswept night (dis inspired by my fav vn which is fata morgana, so if you have a chance skip on this and go straight to buy fata morgana im not kidding) by ebi-hime or if you want to try out russian vns there’s One Day in London (but this is episodic, make sure to own it complete before starting it). Over The Hills And Far Away is cute and short too!
Perceptions of the Dead by Ithaqua Labs (i like this group, i think you own other stuff by them)
Q
Root Double -Before Crime After Days- Xtend Edition: this!!! but it is 50+ hours but it’s good
Six Days of Snow by ebi-hime: i l o v e!!!!!!! there are tons of titles by ebi-hime and you own enough of them, but yeah I definitely personally prefer her mature titles and not the slice of life ones
This World Unknown by ebi-hime (i’ve yet to play this)
U
Voices from the Sea: not really one of my favourites but if you wanna check the developer there’s this
X
Y
The Way We ALL GO by ebi-hime (i’ve yet to play this)
Z

there are some other good titles you own but decided to skim on them or i’ll never end this list. i straight on skipped bad stuff i didn’t like

vndb is your best friend to curate your library

we have no Y??? We have no Y
then:
You left me on itch.io here, vns by this dev are really pretty

Thanks for your suggestions! The reason I don’t have The House of Fata Morgana is because I’m aiming to get a hard copy somewhere down the line (or if it ever turns up in some sale/bundle, then get it - and not because it’s not worth its price, but because that’s pretty much how I get most of my games nowadays). Plus, I get that it’s really good, but… I’m also prone to Hype Aversion (TM), so I’d like to… hear less about it?
Also, I already completed BAD END, it was okay, but nothing spectatular, I guess? It still amazes me how I read it all in one sitting, I need that to happen more in my life.
Plus, anything that classifies as a VN by VNDB standards and is available on Steam is a good recommendation for me (I do have pretty much all of Steam’s “Visual Novel” category in my library/wishlist LOL).

Uh wait… I limited myself to your VN List… should I like… pick what ever VN? O.o

I’d love to play Higurashi ASAP, personally, but since I don’t have all the installments, I think I’ll wait until then, or I risk falling out of the loop before I get to the rest. The Way We ALL GO, however, is one of the handful of VNs I’m still mad at myself for not reading yet… it’s ebi-hime’s VN, for goodness sake! ><
