Fucking beautiful, it's a true work of art. The story is heartwrenching and the OST is out of this world. Do yourself a favour and play it if you haven't.

Any sex in it?
The direct answer would be no, but really, there's some shit going on that would go to waste if I spoiled anything talking about this.
Bruh that sounds like a gamestop/Steam tease.
What's good about the story? What really stuck out to you? Give us more specific details here.
tldr
It's really bleak and has an utter melancholic factor. The characters are fleshed out extremely well and all have tragic circumstances linking them in one way or another. Zero anime tropes, the art design is totally different from your average japanese media.
Reminds me a bit of VA11-HA11A, which I loved.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Speaking of that, how good is it plot wise? Saw it on the Vita and even read it was developed in Venezuela, but I tend to dislike cyberpunky stories.
Absolute kinography.
>tfw you check the backlog in the 4th room and see the red text of the witch, missing names and jumbled dialogue
the art and music are good and the story is ok on average.
Did that happen though? Would fit more with what I remember of Umineko.
It 100% happens, and it was great, I only found out on accident since I skipped over a line and went into the backlog to reread it.
Wow fuck yeah, actually didn't know that. Read a summary on Steam and it's really interesting.
>Comic book "games"
anyone played this on vita? just curious
Doing it right now and it has a shit ton of new content. Requiem for Innocence and two epilogues actually, which I haven't read yet.
tranny game
Don't spoil it for fuck's sake
Opinions on this VN?
That's the mutherfucking best VN with the worst ending ever. Really, the build up is the best I've read in a VN, only to fuck up at the end. Still, read it, the rest will have you glued to the screen. But first, you have to read MuvLuv Extra and Unlimited. Extra is a little bit of a slog to go through, but Unlimited really picks it up.
i hate muv-luv in general so you don't want my opinion
It's good but could be better.
The characters's language and sensibilities lean towards modern day, which works against the feel for each setting but it's not a deal breaker.
The only thing I really have against the VN is the final plot twist with the white-haired girl. It feels very contrived and brought about at the last minute
also Jacopo did nothing wrong.
You know, I've always been interested in reading a visual novel that has a Western comic book aesthetic to it, maybe even factoring into the gameplay. Are there any VNs like that?
Also, recs for VNs that aren't just eroge/romance bullshit?
Well Steins;Gate has some romance going on but zero eroge, and the sci-fi factor overpowers it completely.
Is there a homo route in this VN? Because the only thing I know about it is that one pic of the girl saying that homos are disgusting.
There are no routes, the only branches are inmediate bad endings. The pic you saw doesn't reflect correctly the events in the plot, because alone, it's really out of context.
From 0 to 10 how good is the story? 0 being anything made by David Cage and 10 being Planescape: Torment.
All I can think of are FMV point and click games from the late 80 and early 90s like Dark Seed. Western Otome games were also thing.
It's not a romance VN. It's just a story from beginning to end.
Your mom
hey, if Heavy Rain is 0, it's still damn good. Anyway, I'd say that compared to Planescape, it's around an 8 because of the niche factor, but purely on the story, would say 9.
Kamige. And Morgana is best girl.
Michel is not a tranny you big dumb.
It's better than Planescape.
It a vn for trannies
use spoiler tags
you are right of course
>not on the vita
Dropped
but it is
>VNs that aren't just eroge/romance bullshit
Umineko
some shitbag set fire to kyoanus and killed a bunch of people, in case anyone here doesn't know yet
Masterpiece. Utawarerumono is slightly better though.
...
Opinions on lewd VNs?
Would as well just straight watch porn and not waste my hard drive space
No, but there's incest
'Played' till the fourth story and still not a single minute of gameplay, just clicking through the text. Wtf?
Yes but not shown.
Also, MC is a biological female but dresses and acts like a man. Don't let that stop you from playing though, it's really good.
Music is kino.
Well that's a visual novel for you. Only input on your side will be the time to time choices. Won't blame you if you don't like to read, but you would be missing out this beautiful tale and other incredible ones.
Wouldn't say he's biologically female, since the only real thing that stops him from being full man is not having cock. He changed voice as a man, grew physically as a man and doesn't have tits. Probably just a genetic error.
Trannycore
>implying
They're a certified hermaphrodite
>MC is a biological female
Did you pay attention at all?
preordered hope its good.
Wow even comes with the OST, love it.
>art book
suddenly feeling dumb for not having ordered an official art book for this yet
>people think this shit is good
>the twist is that the main character is a fucking tranny
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
One of the greatest stories ever told.
So good it made suffering through Extra worth every second.
you should be banned for being illiterate
>Also, recs for VNs that aren't just eroge/romance bullshit?
The one in the OP
>tfw no cute witch gf to accidently write a self-insert fanfiction about your tragic life and true love
I hate LRG for only having limited stock that immediately sells out to scalpers.
I hope someone uploads it, all the digital versions of the OST that exist thus far are low bitrate.
I loved it, nothing else like it in the genre and the misdirection about the protag was masterful.
By the way, I suck cocks.
Noo!! My artistic name stolen!!!
It's my favorite VN and Gisele looks better with the short hair
Jacopo was a fucking retard.
Jacopo was the best character in the story.
Jacopo had autism
It was pretty good, however it feels super bloated and is way too melodramatic.
Ceren was fucking retarded and adding her to Requiem was a mistake.
believe me i feel you
the entire main story of requiem was a retread that didn't properly handle its subject material, and i was very disappointed with the entire thing aside from michel's based side story at the end
It was good aside from Ceren. But while Ceren had some positive additions in being a foil to Morgana and to foster her development the twists about Ceren and her own story were so completely fucking retarded and needless that they dragged it all down.
This is the best song in the game and if you disagree then you're wrong
youtube.com
>It was good aside from Ceren
no, it had multiple fight scenes that it didn't need and put way too much emphasis on its sloppy handling of jacopo's descent into the bad shit zone, it really didn't develop morgana or deal with his issues well at all, and the best it got was a brief arc with godlike mentor man
also the music SUCKED
Requiem of Innocence had me depressed for days.
The main story's OST is easily the best in any VN by far.
fuck that, this is it: youtu.be
How long is this shit because I've seen it shilled enough and it looks interesting I might as well nab it.
Probably a week of moderately interested reading
at least 15h
Morgana's life was too short to develop her properly. Most of her development was in the main game.
Ceren's only real purpose was to cause the bandit raid on the brothel, but at least she was entertaining af. And a good fap.
It's a period of literal years and the writing attempts to develop her inside of Requiem but doesn't fucking do it. It straight up pulls the "lmao shit goes bad on your birthday and everything up until then was you thinking maybe you halfway cared about things" for emotional suckerpunch points. The base game is insanely better by comparison.
40-50 hours depending on how fast you read.
>Ceren's only real purpose was to cause the bandit raid on the brothel
And this was completely pointless because that wasn't something that ever needed explanation. There's no reason it can't just be an unfortunate random event, but apparently the author can't accept that.
Looks gay
Does the Vita version add any new content to the base game, or can I just jump straight into Reincarnation and ignore the rest?
I got to the 3rd room and then ended up losing interest due to another game coming out. I really did enjoy what I played though, should really pick it back up again. Probably will have to start from the beginning though, VNs are like that
Name?
Do bandits just randomly raid brothels?
It only gets better after the 3rd room, which is arguably the lowest point of the vn.
3rd room was fantastic, what are you talking about.
If any part was bad, it's Morgana's fanfiction in the 4th room.
Demonbane.
I'd say the lowest point was the first door, but mostly because I really disliked this song and had to constantly listen to it
youtube.com
Demonbane has bullshit H scenes.
4th room was carried by the hidden messages and actual soft-reveal of the protag, 3rd room was frustrating because Jacopo and Whitehair both had autism.
All rooms were still good though, I just found the 3rd to be my least-favourite.
>that crackling effect at the start
Fucking thing took me 3 repeats to convince myself that it was intentional and it wasn't my headphones dying.
C E N S O R E D

The final chapter is by far the lowest point. You already know pretty much all twists, but then they ask you to go back to the past and talk to all the characters again so they tell you about their past some more and it's such a grind because you already know everything. It's like 5 hours of the same fucking story just with different POV's.
This is as far as I've gotten. I really need to finish it someday, but that chapter just kills all interest.
Any mystery that I can try to guess/solve like AA, Danganronpa or whatever? Or is this straightforward drama and action?
I want a Morgana gf so bad, bros
Even though it feels pretty pedo in the Reincarnation episode
It's mostly just pulpy drama with very obvious protagonists and antagonists.
There are some twists of course but the biggest one has already been spoiled in this thread many times: you are the ghost of a FtM tranny that got crucified back in the dark ages because people were bigots..
It's not a mystery in the same sense as AA, DR or even Umineko, but there are a few moments where you can entertain yourself like that if you deliberately look for clues. Namely, in the 2nd and 3rd doors.
I'll admit that Mell's retelling was a bit of a slog because it's obvious why he did what he did and how he felt, but the other characters are a lot more interesting.
Weird taste but ok.
And, I guess, the white haired girl's identity.
Seconding OP
This VN is really, REALLY good, and definitely enjoyable for people who dont usually play VNs
But she's actually cute.
The art in this game ranges from okay to fucking terrible.
Yea Forums likes trannies now? sure hope it's ironic
I played up until the first bad end and was bored out of my mind. It's incoherent and nothing feels like it has any weight to it since you just keep shifting from one tragedy to the next.
I was at the point where I just wished people would hurry up and die so I could move on.
Bad post. Promptly kill yourself.
Not reading your spoiler but maybe I should be out of this thread now.
Any other VN's with strong and relatable LGBT characters? Really enjoyed this one.
Is it OK if I play Vita version? Anything cut from this version by Snoy?
There's nothing to censor, it's an All Ages game with nothing controversial in it whatsoever.
Snoy censored at least one CG in Requiem where Morgana is captured and naked.
This single CG is censored with bandages over her chest and hips. Aside from that, nothing.
It's even more flagrant when you can see the uncensored thumbnail in the in-game CG gallery, lmao. Fucking retards.
She's like 9 years old here. It's understandable.
No it's not, it's a goddamn drawing. Not that I care that much, I pirated it anyway.
Fata Morgana thread in my Yea Forums? Wtf have you anons taken good taste pills?
Rose Gun Days it even has some "gameplay" but you just move the mouse around and click to defend and attack
youtube.com
Yeah it's amazing
I'm working on a VN that doesn't reuse art assets and is entirely CGs. It has me wondering if the weird reused art puppet look isn't part of what people expect
Nah.
After Katawa Shoujo, no VN has been able to fill its shoes and I doublt OP's VN will do so.
What do you mean, as in there are no character sprites and everything, including the characters and their "poses", are drawn on the CG?
It's like a series of stills from an animated film instead of the convention of reused backdrops and reused character sprites
katawa shoujo is shit, pure shit and so are you, pleb
Sounds interesting, I wish you luck.
Daily reminder that Jacopo did nothing wrong and he's best boy
>lol the little prostitute was mad all along
Unironically droped when you stab the brown annoying dancer
please be patient he has autism
Thanks user. I've been working on it for maybe 7 months now, living like a hobo to make ends meet lol. Realistically I have another year of work.
He actually did everything wrong, as admitted by the man himself
Which should i play first: Fata Morgana or 428: Shibuya Scramble?
Fata
Jacopo is a piece of shit who goes full retard whenever he has nobody to hold him back
Umineko I guess, and Danganronpa if DR actually counts as a Visual Novel
>looks a little interesting
>tranny protagonist
I'm out, take your tumblrshit back.
Fuck off, retard.
Jacopo is the dangers of introversion and procrastination incarnate, ]in VN form of course, the real life form of that is the user reading this post. Go do something you fuck.
Tranny protag is a red herring, the real protag is the archangel michael made flesh
For the last time you slant-eyed psycho, I am not an angel
>male MC has internal genitals due to shit genes
>hates his body
>not even once in the entire game portrayed as a good thing
>by the end the MC still hates it and will never stop hating it
>ties into the symbolism of genderless angels
>people unironically think this is a tranny VN
fuck brainlets
I thought the main story between Michelle, Giselle, and Morgana was pretty good, but the side stories were kind of eh. The siblings and the beast stories were pretty boring. The white-haired girl did nothing wrong and deserved to keep existing. The overall story has too much of a tragedy boner.
The music was pretty dogshit, so I turned it off and let the sound effects do all the work. Made for some great 2 AM reading atmosphere, especially during the climb up to Morgana's cell in the tower. Shit was spoopy.
>The music was pretty dogshit
Extreme yikes

I think they should've added Morgana's perspective in the last short story you'll get where she talks with a disappearing Jacopo. It really adds more flesh to the story. I don't know why they just put it randomly on their websit
oujidere.wordpress.com
I'm not impressed whatsoever. Listen to some actual music.
yeah user this guy is right, check out the beatles or something baka
you wont get me again
you goddamn loli
I mean, I wouldn't call the entire Beatles discography flawless (whose is, though?), but I'd listen to Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, and Abbey Road before any of this shit. Slow, somber piano tunes with some female vocalist singing over them are rather soporific.
I understand some of yoy wouldn't like the style, but hell, the composition is incredible. The voice leading this dudes did over the chord progressions was really good, and some songs like Everybodys Crying even had polirythmic games going on, like apparently being on 3/4 but then the cellos go in apparently out of beat and force you to aknowledge the past melody as triplets in 4/4 instead. Skia Oura had a fantastic guitar solo. I love everything they did in this OST.
music autist out
>She immersed herself in the illusory world once again. She knew full-well that she was doing something foolish, but being able to stay with him like before, and being able to touch his hand, that was something she really had complicated feelings about. And besides, even though she kept obstinately trying to, she was at the point where she couldn’t forcibly ignore the warm feelings that were starting to take over her heart.
>The gentleness that had sprouted up inside her was something she was starting to want to understand.
>She was starting to want to understand that man’s heart.
>That’s why she, while continuing to immerse herself in the illusion, thought that she’d guide him.
>Even if, from the outside, it seemed as if she was being pulled by that man’s hand instead. Towards a release from that illusory world that was more like a cursed one. For the sake of his next life. To guide him to the principle of the world.

>She shut her eyes tightly for a moment.
>And then, after calling to mind the silhouette of the former slave boy, opened them again.

>(I really don’t want to encounter you again.)

>(I’ve already had enough of dealing with you.)
>(That’s why I won’t wish to meet you once more.)
>(I really despise you.)
>(Even still, if you were to wish to meet me again no matter what…)
>(If your wish was strong enough to prevail over my refusal…)
>(Be sure to make me happy.)
>(Once you’ve accomplished that… I will...)
FUCK... Someone hold me bros.. I really liked Giselle and Michel but I've always thought that Morgana and Jacopo had the best chemistry in the story.
428: Shibuya Scramble
I tried to "play" this some time ago but the music was such a earrape I couldn't bring myself to.
The substance of the music is still banal as fuck. And that's just talking about the "good" tunes and not the shitty ones like that one song with the claps that plays during the siblings' story or the one that's used a bunch of times in the beast's story. By Jacopo's story, I got tired of that shit and turned it off. It didn't really ruin the experience for me or anything.
Another game with fantastic OST was Trails in the Sky, both FC and SC. The Facom sound team really is something else.
Hey, the jazzy tunes in 3rd door were some of my favourites! It's a shame that you don't like it, really. But well, to each their own.
Eh, Falcom's sound team declined ever since the Chara-Ani contract expired a number of their musicians and composers left. They're a shadow of their 2003-2011 era at this point.
There's practically nothing ultra fantastical about Fata Morgana, that's almost the joke of the story.
Why don't you like me, Yea Forums?
I also like graphic sex scenes in my vn's.
But I did, I empathized with your taste in crazy bitches.
Impossible. P:T is the pinnacle of video game writing.
>mfw UI of Michel and Giselle "intertwined"
I just fucking hate the setting and the artstyle of this game. Europe is so boring, it always makes me feel like I'm reading something by Charles Dickens or Harry Potter.
When? Aaaah!
It was a necesary change of pace for me, was fucking sick of highschool harem VN's. Also, France setting was really cool, would have complained if it was England though.
I hate the industrial revolution in any western country to be honest,its such an overdone setting and nothing good has come of it. Also, France is probably the most borinf euro country,probably followed by England.
It will probably be a witch gameboard. The fighting will be a red herring I believe
>warcats logo: black cat with a scythe
The course of action is to not read VNs period.
Why the hell some people hate the artstyle? This game Iooks MUCH better than 99% of all VNs. Most of them look like some generic anime trash.
Because 99% of VN readers love generic anime trash. Why else would they have gotten into the medium?
You hurt a loli, you bastard
Most vns look like shit, but this one is just plain ugly. The colors are ugly, the grungy textures used in backgrounds are ugly and the characters are poorly drawn and have boring le Victorian costumes. It's pretty bad, user. I haven't played many vns, but most of them looked better (yuno, Kara no shoujo, saya)
I thought that at first but changed my mind when I grew accustomed to it, ended up thinking it's good and has its charm.
Steins;Gate art is the fucking best though. Was reaaaaally mad that they changed it in S;G0 in favour of generic anime shit.
I got the second chapter where they tried to pull their twist which was painfully obvious from the beginning. I couldn't get into it at all. I didn't really care for the characters much in each chapter. I ended up dropping it, despite everyone raving about how good it was.
Hey if you only got to the second chapter then you actually didn't read anything. You had barely just started and it gets incredibly better from 4th chapter onwards.
Its coming in the mail monday. Im a physical fag.
Why did they choose portuguese for the song lyrics? Not complaining but it's a strange choice.
That might be the case, but if I'm not hooked on something after that amount of time, I rarely bother going on. Also I ended up reading a summary of the plot out of curiosity so I'm spoiled on the whole story now anyway.
>Cute meido got raped
why
They probably thought it was cool
Why is Tranny shit so popular?
Nothing wrong with Victorian shit. The art does seem like a poor man's knockoff of Ayami Kojima's style, though.
It aint tranny you retard
cringy as fuck, angsty teenager tier writing and art
"Not as atonement for my sins but because I want to see it too."
Does the story relies on plot twists to be interesting? Because i think this thread spoiled me. Fuck you Yea Forums.
There's two heavy shit twists. The first is in some image above but it's really obscure so you won't understand it, so fine. But youre probably already spoiled about the other one. Still, the VN is totally worth it.
>defending this
fucking kek
Shut up dolt, don't think you have it all figured out because you got a screenshot from google. The second half of the story is extremely good
it's from my steam screenshots dipshit
You totally weren't reading seriously if you really think that the story was teen banal
>implying this is bad
you have shit taste
Masterpiece and kino.
No, YOU have shit taste
>MC is a biological female
no, he is intersex

nah you, as can be seen by your choice of reaction image, retard zoomer
428
It's easier to go from lighthearted to somber than the other way around.
I actually do
He's basically future Jacopo
The ending is absolutely cathartic, that's what you really have to read it for. Do it.
No. Mask of the Betrayer is P:T, but better.
Nonsense. Even at his peak, Jacky was never as cheerful as Francois.
post what you consider good then
almost all other visual novels are full of anime tropes and you call this game cringe because it has none?
Could some user recommend another video game with a great gothic story like this one?
Umineko, probably? I really wish I had more examples, but most of the translated VNs are eroge moeshit.
Hey speaking of which, how good is neverwinter nights?
NWN OC: shit
NWN Shadows of Undrentide: shorter shit
NWN Hordes of Underdark: suddenly amazing and epic
NWN2 OC: mixed bag
NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer: amazing and epic
NWN2 Storm of Zehir: kinda weird, but overall good
>4th room was carried by the hidden messages and actual soft-reveal of the protag, 3rd room was frustrating because Jacopo and Whitehair both had autism.
The third room is essentially a story of a relationship failing due to miscommunication and the characters being too cowardly to directly confront things and have everything explained properly. I found it relatable.
Jacopo did everything wrong when he should've done everything right, which is what made him interesting.
>The music was pretty dogshit
>Steins;Gate art is the fucking best though. Was reaaaaally mad that they changed it in S;G0 in favour of generic anime shit.
Are you retarded? Huke's character designs were good but his art was fucking bad and had bad anatomy, 0 making new art that adhered to Huke's style while actually being drawn competently was one of the only things it did right.
The first chapter's art is questionable and absolutely the worst art of the game, but it was drawn first and Moyotaro significantly improved over time. If Moyotaro hadn't fallen ill I'd imagine they would have touched it up for Collected Edition.
whats with these vns with the surprise tranny twist?
Looks very otoge to me, which is not a bad thing
In Michel's case, it's to compare him to an angel.
they are a waste of fucking time.
when a point n click adventure game has more game play. it is not a game. it is a E Comic.
I mean, just compare the portraits from Mell's chapter where both Mell and WHG have freakishly short arms to any other chapter.
It's 2019, bigot.
What the hell? S;G art is beautiful, sure Daru size is over exagerated but the sprites are way more beautiful than S;G0. I mean, look at the eyes of the characters. The worst part is that I've read a lot of people that say the same thing you do. Can't understand it.
I can only hear Makishima in Michel's new voice
reincarnation was a disappointment. I waited for year and it fail to deliver. Maybe my expectation was too high but still. The music was so bland, what the hell happen to the composer. The art was not that bad but i prefer the original style. There is no interaction between the character, Jacopo did not talk anyone beside Morgana and Maria. Despite all the bad point it still feel good to see the character in modern day and end at a good place. Still wish there were more tho
>no switch release
yikes
>defending censorship
the absolute state of snoyboys
there is nothing sexual about that drawing and childrens bodys are not inherently sexual. there is no reason censor something created to give the effect of fear, misfortune and grief unless you project your own pedo tendencies onto everyone else
I am hoping for a switch release too. I can only "play" VNs while lying in bed.
i don't have much hope. they're releasing a damn vita game in 2019
I'm playing it right now and I don't want to get spoiled so I will leave the thread right now
I just want to say that the OST is so good it made me feel bad about pirating the game on vita

That's the first I've heard of this. Fucking sucks that they went to SP for Nar Karma though.
Is Reincarnation on YT? I only have a PC
Just emulate vita on PC, there cool short story on it too like
