For me, Yume Miru Kusuri was my first visual novel. I don’t even remember why I played it, but I liked it so much that I’m here forever now.

    I don’t actually remember the first visual novel I’ve played, but it was probably some obscure mobile otome game that I’m never going to encounter again. The first VN I’ve played and remembered by name is Nekopara, though.

      That’s fair. What did you like about it? Is there anything you disliked about it?

        I like mystery murder stories with a good twist in general, so it was right in my alley. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the pink blood but that’s pretty much a nothing burger.

    A Kiss for the Petals. It’s how I found out I’m not straight.

    I believe it was “The Hero Project” on Steam. Not the best in the genre but started me on a path to many fantatsic games.

    Katawa Shoujo. I’ve only ever finished one of the routes. What I like most about it is its history. Not many visual novels can claim to have come from a ragtag team of imageboard members…

      True that. I think Katawa Shoujo was either my second or third read, and I really enjoyed it.

    Yume Miru Kusuri was also my first one, I remember to ask some who played a lot and recommended this to me, after that I wanted more… That’s was years ago, almost forgot how all started, now I feel nostalgic thanks for reminding maybe i will re-play it
