YU-NO (visual novel)
YU-NO (visual novel)
hello! just to spark conversations...does anyone like visual novels?
I'm loving this chill and beautiful 1996 scifi VN called "YU-NO"...amazing music too!
this classic was for PC-98 (a pioneer in many ways, it paved the way for others like Steins;Gate)
with Sega Saturn and Windows releases soon after (and fantranslated in english for PC),
but there is also a 2019 officially translated remake for Steam/PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch
sad that the creator and composer both passed away...they had such a groundbreaking vision...
I end up getting a fair few visual novels on sale; once in a while I take a look at one of the $30/$60 ones and have a hard time justifying the purchase, since I rarely finish them.
It’s just hard for any of them to hook me with a premise anymore. So much of Japanese writing seems to follow a network of dramatized tropes - even though it’s very likely I’m missing some good ones out there.
